Fitger's Brewhouse Brewery and Grille

I ordered the maple salad. The waitress assured me it was gf and safe as long as I didn’t add the pita bread. As I was eating my salad there was something crunchy in my salad. Upon further exploration I found a few pieces of fried food. My waitress immediately took it to the kitchen to find out what it was. A manager came over and said it was bits of chicken. It definitely wasn’t. They told me there’s no gluten items on that side of the flat top. It could’ve been fried cheese…I just don’t know. The manager and waitress were incredibly kind and apologetic and took my meal off the bill without us asking. Unfortunately, I felt awful all night long. They have great food and a fun atmosphere but it’s definitely not celiac safe. I’m posting a picture of the fried pieces…

Food was pretty good, not great compared to other places in Duluth. My kids and I had a salad, nachos with chicken, and a burger.

Great gluten free experience! There are many burger, sandwich and salad options. The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. I had the Artichoke Chicken Sandwich on a GF bun (with salad as the side - beautiful greens). Hubby had the Brewhouse Cobb Salad - also super fresh and filling. Kiddo had a burger - he doesn't need GF but said the burger was the best! The service was friendly and they know GF.

Yummy and filling. I got the pub burger on an Udi’s bun with a massive salad. Maple vinaigrette was on point! Local Duluth cider on tap. I had two!

GF options on menu. Bun was good. Read the review about the buns being toasted because they can he cross contaminated. I forgot to ask for an untoasted bun.

My experiences have ranged from amazing to a cross contamination experience. Cross contamination occurred when dining during the busy hours. The food is worth coming before the crowd arrives. GF options are on the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very important: If you order a burger or anything with a gluten free bun, be sure to tell them to leave it untoasted. The server told me that it is toasted where the regular buns are also toasted which explains my stomach issues the last couple times I’ve dined here. I’ve explained my gluten sensitivity every time I’ve ordered and am disappointed this wasn’t a normal precaution.

Amazing menu labeled GF and GFR. Server was helpful and knowledgeable. Delicious food!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went on a weekend trip to Duluth and this was my favorite meal I ate the whole weekend. I am gluten and dairy free and there were lots of options! I had an amazing grilled chicken guacamole sprout bacon sandwich. Tighter spaced restaurant but loved it!

Regular menu indicates if an item is naturally gluten free or if item can be prepared gluten free upon request. Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’ll be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Menu is very detailed and simple to follow for GF and vegetarian options. Great atmosphere. Park for free. No GF hot dog buns

Despite having numerous GF options, I had to try the maple vinaigrette chicken salad. SOOOO good!!! Everything clearly labeled GF or GFR (gluten-free on request) on the menu. At least one GF beer available (I don't drink, so I wasn't paying too much attention.) Left with a growler of their homemade root beer. Excellent atmosphere and delicious food!
