Ford's Garage

When I arrived I asked for an Allen menu. The host was very kind and explained their menu has a star beside anything they can make gluten free which was great! I also have a dairy allergy he said he would send out the manager when we are seated. The manager never came, which was fine. I explained to the server the allergy restrictions and asked for no cheese on the burger. While eating the burger I found cheese was cooked onto the bacon. I was excited to have the gluten free bun as an option but not excited that they were as mindful of the dairy allergy.

The girl taking the order sounded like she had jist woken up from a nap, telling her our order was more than painful. She was not paying attention at all. Even after having her read back the order and stating multiple times a gluten allergy we still had a bad outcome. Definitely wont be trying this again.

Knowledgeable enough about celiac, too feel that will not get gluten-free, delicious burgers, gluten-free buns, gluten-free dinners available also, no gluten-free beer but seltzer and ciders, along with wine

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went during covid for an early dinner. Out of 2 of the 5 gf sides (beans and broccoli). No dedicated fryer, but burger was yummy even without a side of fries. Server was really nice but still messed up 2 out of 3 meals and we were only 1 of 5 tables in the entire place and not all were her tables. Good in a pinch.

New Ford's Garage in Novi! Food and atmosphere is fantastic! I had the brisket burger with a GF bun. It was delicious.

The manager brought my meal out separately to show that they take gluten allergies seriously.

While this may not be a safe place for the most sensitive people since it isn't a dedicated gluten free restaurant, they have gluten free options like GF buns for burgers, and their menu is clearly marked for items that are or can be prepared gluten free. The food was very good and the servers will do their best to accomodate for your needs. My sister and I ordered a couple of burgers with gluten free buns, opted for a side of mashed potatoes instead of fries, and each had one of the two hard ciders they had on their drink menu. The food was excellent and neither of us experienced any issues afterward.

GF items are marked on the menu. I ordered the Black and Blue burger which was excellent! The waitress asked if was an allergy or preference. She then listed the sides which were gluten free.
