Do not go to the Grand Lux Cafe if you have a TRUE GLUTEN ALLERGY or any other type of ALLERGY!!! Grossly incompetent!! They are liars!!! Not safe!!! My six year old son has Celiac disease. Prior to going there we called to check if was safe for my son and they stated it was. They even bragged about how they have a separate food prep area. When we were seated at the table we alerted our server that my son has a gluten allergy and again we were told it was safe. When they brought the food to the table we alerted them again and again we were told how safe it was. Prior to ordering dessert the server even doubled checked with the manager and again we were told it was safe!!! Guess what?45 minutes later my son is throwing up and in excruciating pain!! They definitely failed my son!!! Please take this as a WARNING for anyone who has Celiac or any other type of FOOD ALLERGY to stay away from the Grand Lux Cafe!!! They clearly lack the proper training, education, leadership and empathy to keep their customers safe from harm!!! If it happened once it will happen again!!!

Again this place is not safe!!! If you have celiac or any other food allergies!!! Avoid at all cost no matter what they say!!! It’s just not worth the risk!!!

Atmosphere great! Servers well trained on allergy issues. Helpful checked about possibility of wheat in Turkey Burger. GF french fries are amazing. Rolls for sandwich/burgers are soft NOT crumbly and delicious. I have had great experiences on several occasions.

Found a regular noodle in my GF pasta. Got very ill. Restaurant says they have no idea how it happened and made me a new entree, which I took to go and have no intention of eating. They really should have just not charged me, but instead, I get to be sick while on a business trip. Manager claims they're careful, but if they were, there wouldn't be wheat-full linguini in my corkscrew GF pasta dish!

Highly NOT recommended for celiacs or very sensitive intolerants!!

The servers are very educated on all kinds of allergens, but specifically wheat. They have a dedicated gluten free menu. The food is amazing!!!! I'd highly recommend the chicken and avocado salad with the molten lava cake for dessert!

Had breakfast here. Had an omelette which was nice enough and was offered to swap the toast and hash brown for fruit as they weren’t GF. However I was charged extra for the fruit. Didn’t have many options on the menu.

I guess I should've asked about the supposed gluten free menu? The main menu has what can be made gluten free and it's literally five things out of 50+. Unfortunately, our first choice place to eat had a 45-minute wait due to the Trump voter convention in town... yea... eww. So we ended up here. I really wanted a sandwich or something breaded but that's not here. You can have a caeser salad or a burger. Some mid pasta. The end. I got a caeser since it was the only salad I could have of the seven available. Asked for dressing on the side. It came smothered in dressing and also a whole boat of the same dressing... on the side. Honestly, the most joyless salad I've ever had. An hour later I feel gross and hungry. Though, I'm sure I ate 900 calories thanks to the dressing bath. Look, the bottom line is there's nothing here to eat. Sure, it's on the app but like, go anywhere else. There are actually options to eat here. Don't bother with a restaurant who refuses to post nutritional information on their website who offers 1/16th of their huge menu to feed the gf. Many thumbs down.

Servers daughter had celiac so she was very knowledgeable. I had the Cobb salad and they changed the dressing for me. Normally don’t eat at this chain, but would go again based on my experience!
