Great Wolf Lodge

They put everything into white take out containers. I asked for the gluten free burger and fries to be marked, especially since my entries party ordered burgers. The gluten free container was not marked. So it was a guessing game trying to figure out which burger was the safe one. Fries were extremely soggy and cold. Customer service was poor. Don't waste your money here.

They offer a GF pizza and menu items but they have gluten. We tested the pizza and the Cobb salad and both were positive for gluten on Nima. When we talked with the manager, he said the chef says the box says GF. Likely cross contamination but we didn’t have luck getting that message across. They were nice and took the pizza off the bill. But my daughter and I didn’t get to eat anything but fruit/veggies. They say they have a dedicated fryer but I’d be careful.

Celiac friendly?

No

The Campfire Kitchen buffet is an AWFUL dining experience. A glance at the buffet is very misleading. The barbecue dishes are gluten. Why not use a GF BBQ sauce when there are so many to choose from? The food was bland and cold. All this for $22 per person. What a rip off!

Breakfast: the Breakfast buffet downstairs was great. We felt safe even though it's a buffet situation because all of the food is in separate containers with its own serving utensils, and all of the bread/toasters are on their own station on the opposite wall of the buffet area. They will also make gluten free pancakes upon request, just place the order with your server, they will cook them in the back and bring to your table. The server was very knowledgeable. We were very impressed.

Poolside cafe: they have a dedicated fryer and can produce an allergy information binder upon request. Apparently they serve GF fried chicken fingers and have Udi's GF buns, but unfortunately on the day we went there they were out of those, so our celiac kiddo just had fries and a burger patty. The gluten-containing food wasn't great either. On one day the staff was very knowledgeable about GF, and the next day they had no idea what I was talking about. I wouldn't recommend the poolside cafe for a meal, but a snack of fries might be fine.

The staff was excellent when addressing the needs of our celiac granddaughter. The only downside was that there were no gluten free snacks available within the park itself. But, every staff member seemed well trained and knowledgeable about food allergies and celiac. We ate at the on site restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. We also got ice cream on site after dinner. They took the time to get a clean scooper from a new tub of ice cream to ensure no cross contamination. Bonus: the food was good!

We ate at Barnwood while staying at Great Wolf Lodge but you can also eat there not as a lodge guest. Our waiter was fantastic and mentioned on 2 occasions that our ticket was marked with allergy and he also informed the sous chef. He also stated that once our ticket was marked with allergy they got out all clean utensils for our food prep. They have a frier specified for GF only. We felt confident that our pasta, fries and buns were GF. So happy with this dinner!

This was a terrible experience. The pizza crust was not cooked fully. The fries were "baked" but not fully. You do get a chef when you tell them gluten allergy but the options and food fall short. This is nothing I want to experience again.

Stayed here with my family. Great options at the water park, tacos, nachos and fries. The chef at the buffet will come out and walk you threw it and offer to prepare something fresh in the back. The breakfast buffet had a few options and the chef can prepare gf pancakes in the back. I also had a gf pizza at the pizzeria.
