I talked with the waiter about my allergies. He did a great job with my accommodations. But something was amiss as I started feeling bloated before I finished the meal. The evening didn't end well... thinking cross CONTAMINATION. the food was delish. I had grilled salmon df/gf. Steamed veggies and salad with 3 choices of df/gf dressing and water...

Had the Shrimp and Strawberry Salad and my Daughter had the Pineapple Chicken. We were both pleased. We are both GF. No issues for us.

They have items marked on the menu that can be prepared gluten free. All I had to do was mention my needs to the waiter & they were taken care of.

Review
A go to restaurant for me! GF menu, and knowledge servers. The kitchen staff will work with other dietary needs as well. Website has a very good allergen tool as well. Not a dedicated gf kitchen but have eaten here without problem many times.
Review
We are here for lunch. Server was very nice and knowledgeable. Ordered a salad. Very filling and the drinks were good too.
Review
Gluten-free menu available upon request. Shared kitchen space but a nice size menu with multiple entrees and salads as well as kids options. Soups are only gluten-free on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays which was kind of disappointing but I really appreciate the large menu selection and the good attitude of the staff to accommodate.
Review
Has GF menu. Be sure to ask server. http://west-des-moines.firebirdsrestaurants.com/menus/gluten-free/

Review
What a lovely evening. Our server was amazing with my allergies! Menu items are clearly marked as gluten free. Before I could mention I had a wheat allergy, he asked if it was allergy or preference and even asked about other allergies. The appetizer (bacon deviled eggs) were brought out by a manager who assured us gloves were changed and they were assembled in a safe area. Then my Tomahawk pork chop was brought out by one of the kitchen staff who again assured me care had been taken for all my allergies. Food was hot and super yummy. The rest of my dining party also enjoyed every item they were served. Excellent experience. We will definitely be back.

A few GF salad options that are pretty good. GF is noted as a potential option on the menu.

Told the server I had celiacs and she told me what on the menu would be GF and told me she would pass on my allergy to the kitchen. Sadly there is no GF desserts and not a separate menu just items designated on the regular menu that can be made GF. Overall good experience!

Had steak salad. Was cooked without exposure to gf items. Even told me the starter spinach artichoke dip chips are flour based. Fyi for others that like that dip. Waitress respected my allergy, I would recommend as a date nite. Or brunch option.
