Avoid this place at all cost they have no clue about gluten, allergies or poisoning. In fact they recommend and highly recommend entrées are gluten-free, which are not I’ve been poisoned twice once at dinner once at breakfast never again please fellow allergist avoid this Houlihan at all cost.

This was a FANTASTIC option for our extremely gluten sensitive family. Their GF buns are DELICIOUS - our fave brand. GF-capable items are clearly marked on the regular menu, AND they have a GF menu. Our server, an ADORABLE girl named Morgan, was helpful and knowledgeable, and she also communicated our needs well with the kitchen and manager. No cross contamination reactions to follow, and they even have creme brulee for dessert!!! We had an EXCELLENT meal and would go back again for sure.

Just stopped here with my celiac child, the gf menu listed on their website and the one we were given in the restaurant were different. They fry everything in a common fryer!! They did have gf buns but did not would like they could guarantee anything. We left, not worth making him sick. Nice people just not as advertised 😕

No GF menu available. Staff unable to provide allergen menu. They are willing to help figure out GF options. I would not expect much chance of avoiding cross contamination if you need that assurance- probably best to avoid this one.

They had a gluten free menu. I had a grilled chicken salad. It was a good salad. They had approximately 10 or 12 GF items on the menu.

They have a gluten "friendly" menu but the sweet potato fries marked Gluten friendly are made in the same fryer as gluten items. They have a gluten free bun but still managed to give me the wrong one and they didn't catch it till I asked. If only intolerant could be ok and the staff was very apologetic. But I cannot recommend it if you have celiac disease.

Sadly changing my review. They’ve lost a lot of their gf options. I used to eat here regularly for years but sadly it seems like they’re not as mindful of gluten issues anymore
