Earls Kitchen + Bar

We stopped in for brunch last weekend and were a bit underwhelmed with the GF options for how upscale the place was. Our server wasn’t very knowledgeable about what options were safe or how things were cooked, but was happy to doublecheck with the kitchen. I ended up ordering the Cobb salad with Cajun prawns after our server confirmed it would be GF without the blue cheese. I also had a drip coffee with almond milk since their espresso machine was broken. I'm not sure we'll be back in the area, but we'd consider visiting again for a non-brunch meal so there might be more options and since I did not have a reaction afterward.

Have ordered from here several times and never again. NEVER order take out as there is little to know concern for ensuring gluten free. I made very clear mention that I was celiac and get very sick if I have any gluten. I ordered again, for the last time, and I’ve been sick for the past several hours. Only food outside the home in a week and wish I would have made the effort to cook.

Earls has officially lost me and my family as a customer!

Enough gluten free (or as they call it, gluten aware) options to get by, marked clearly on the menu, though of course with a warning about cross-contamination. The waitress told me that the burger bun was toasted separately and was even celiac safe (although it did have kind of a weird spongey texture). The Fries are GF! Also tried the Truffle Fries and Avocado Corn Dip which is basically a creamy guacamole with elotes on top, very good. Didn’t ask about the tortilla chips fryer because it was marked GF.

I am pretty sensitive though and had no reactions after 2 separate visits.

Fun vibe. Good drinks. A cider on draft.

My non-GF partner loved his meal.

Waitress made sure to include Gluten Allergy about 5 times on the tablet so the kitchen was aware. Checked the allergen info before going and it labeled the calamari as having no wheat and no gluten in it but the waitress confirmed it is not gluten free. Waitress offered a steak and some fries which can be made GF, but I am not sure whether separate fryers were used or not. Have sent an email in regards to the discrepancy between the allergen info and a request to add more GF items in the future but I have not heard back for over a week now. Overall, hoping they include more GF options!

They have a dedicated gf fryer so I was able to have fries and a chicken sandwich. The bun was great at this location. I enjoy having a safe place to eat out.

Can confirm they have a dedicated gf fryer. I had a great chicken sandwich with fries. The bun wasn't the best I've ever had here but it was edible

Had a good experience here. Only salads and burgers marked as gf on the menu. Not sure if they can amend any of the other options on the menu however my salad was delicious and they can do gf fries.
