Driftwood Lounge

While there isn’t much listed as GF on their menu, what we had was exceptional! The braised short rib was amazing! So tender, the knife they give you is unnecessary because it just falls apart. And the flavor was incredible as well. Definitely would recommend!

This is the more casual restaurant at the Lake Powell resort. I ordered the burger with no bun; fries are not in a dedicated fryer. Not much to choose from but when you have no other options you roll with it! For breakfast the next day they had a pre-set menu for our tour group but they did have a couple of GF options so I was pleased to see that

Items are clearly marked GF on the menu (including fried chicken) but was skeptical after reading reviews on here. I asked him for a chicken breast cooked in a pan (he said they do toast buns on grill), and abs veggies they had. He said all they had left since it was late was a carrot/broccoli/cauliflower bag mix. Chicken came out with grill marks but tested GF on my Nima sensor. Veggies tested with gluten, looked like they had some sort of seasoning on it. Waiter had some personal knowledge of celiac but restaurant overall not the best choice. Be careful when eating here

Not a big variety at all, but it was tasty. I did not get sick from eating here but I'm sure there was cross contamination. I had the wings with no sauce and the truffle fries with no blue cheese. We won't eat there again during our trip because it was ridiculously expensive for the amount of food we got.

Seasonal menu changes but they do mark dishes with GF insignia. Ended up getting fried chicken wings, served naked- which were amazing. Very rare to find good wings. No issues. Also got the burger with the GF bun. Cross contamination may be an issue. Also got breakfast there. Scrambled eggs and side of potatoes (asked to cook with oil, not butter). No issue.

Celiac friendly?

No

Menu lies. Soy in salad dressing was not gluten free and one small plate actually had regular crackers on it!! Be careful!
