Houlihan's

The food on the regular menu is marked clearly with "GS" for Gluten Sensitive. they are clear about not having a dedicated kitchen space or area so if you have a true allergy this place may not be for you, but I am gluten intolerant and was very happy!

Never. Eat. Here. They mixed flour into GF sauces.

Celiac friendly?

No

Waitstaff not at all knowledgable. Asked if the foods on gf menu were cooked in a dedicated fryer and they are not. Waiter said if it's on the gf menu it "should be good". Do not seem educated on what gluten is nor cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had absolutely the worst experience at Houlihan's. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone with Celiac disease. I ordered soup but it came with tortilla chips. I asked them if they made the chips and if so if they had a dedicated fryer. They said they didn't so I got it without the chips. After taking a bite of the soup the waitress came and took it. She said the cheese they put it in was packed in flour. WHAT?

They had a number of things on their "Gluten free" menu that were not gluten free. When I questioned the manager he was very arrogant. He said it was really a "Gluten light" menu not a "Gluten free" menu. Funny, it said "Gluten free" on it. I told him there shouldn't be things on the menu that weren't gluten free, he said "Well, I've never had anyone complain that they got sick." I said "We don't complain, we just don't come back." ...and I won't. Mo's Irish Pub is next door and has an excellent gluten free menu, go to Mo's!!

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a GF menu. I ate lunch and had the scallops. I am also allergic to soy and the waitress confirmed with the kitchen everything was safe for me. The scallops were good.

We stopped here again on our trip home. I had the kale salad with chicken. The waitress did check the dressing ingredients for me and I substituted blue cheese which is made in house. It was good.

I asked for a gluten free menu when I walked in. The woman told me they had a gf marker next to items on the menu that are gluten free. When my server came over he came with an updated separate gf menu. I got the chicken tortilla soup and there chicken sandwich with the side of California masher. The only thing I liked was the chicken sandwich. They also have a gluten free burger bun which wasn't bad.

My husband wanted a great steak dinner for his birthday and he thoroughly enjoyed his “normal” meal. GlutenFree Options left something to be desired though. There was only a chicken sandwich and a salmon entree available (and a couple sides) and they said the chicken was grilled on a shared grill. The chicken sandwich was good. Unfortunately can’t speak to its “safety” as I felt sick pretty much our entire trip. Overall I wouldn’t recommend if you need GF.
