Initiative Brewing

A highlight of my recent roadtrip for sure. A dog friendly patio with celiac safe food AND GF beer! So good. I had emailed ahead of time and gotten a very friendly response. The server also confirmed they take GF seriously.

Menu well-marked for GF items and, as noted in other reviews, the GF chicken strips were yummy! The staff were knowledgeable and the food was great.

There were multiple options for gluten free food. I am always very leery and ask a lot of questions. The server was knowledgeable and helpful. I had gf beer, fries and a bbq chicken salad and didn’t get sick! I’ll definitely go back!

Menu has a lot of options for GF: fries (with a dedicated GF fryer), chicken tenders, burgers can be done GF, and we ended up getting the cubano made GF.

Waiter was knowledgeable about modifying safely and marked gluten allergy (I have celiac) on the order unprompted when we were asking questions about the fryer.

Delicious and fast with great outdoor seating.

I do wish they’d make it clear on the menu what could be modified as gf (like the cubano) and also make it clear there or online they have a GF fryer!

I’ve eaten here twice now and I haven’t been glutened either time. I’ve gotten fries, chicken strips, and soup so far and they were delicious. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable when I was mentioning celiac disease to them, and made me feel super comfortable and safe!

Our son has severe anaphylactic allergies to wheat, peanut, fin fish and barley. He is able to eat here safely! Our server was very through making sure the kitchen was aware of our son’s allergies and about cross contamination. Super impressed! Thank you Initiative!! It’s very, VERY rare for our family to get to eat out together!!

Great with gluten free! Two kinds of gf beer, gf buns, has a separate gf fryer, gf fried chicken, and they put a gluten allergy/celiac alert on my meal.

Almost everything on the menu can be made GF! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free options. I got chicken tenders and fries - all fried items are GF. *The only note is the mac and cheese is listed as having a GF option (made with GF pasta), but the cheese sauce still uses their house made beer. Our server said the beer is gluten reduced (but not 100% celiac safe) so I decided it wasn’t worth the risk.

Knowledgeable and friendly waitstaff with great brew pub menu. GF beers are limited to one or two, but there are plenty of GF food options (and a gf fryer). Our wait staff explained that in their training they covered celiac and take pride in using GF options (including a gf batter for their delicious fried chicken sandwich). It seems one of the owners has a mom with celiac.

Food very poor this time around. Put my dressings in a non gluten free order.

Additional info from my last visit. Always enjoy dining in and pretty much everything on the menu is gf (apart from their standard buns). So, lots of options and I have had much better experiences eating in vs takeout here. Overall, food their food is delicious. The kimchi fries are my favorite

So good! Gluten free fried chicken bites and dedicated fryer so french fries too. Amazing ranch dressing. Dog friendly dinning on the patio.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated fryer. The crispy chicken bites were really good. So was the Thai stuffed jalapenos. Celiac friendly menu with a educated staff. I highly recommend.

The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free. Lots of choices and everything in the fryer is gluten free. Love this place!!!

Celiac friendly?

They have e clearly labeled and dedicated gf menus items. Also majority of their menu can be made gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Favorite two words: dedicated fryer... Staff and owners super knowledgeable, and wife just declared the GF bun on her burger being the best she ever had (GF or otherwise). GF Mac and cheese with bacon was amazing. Highly recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing service and feel safe every time I eat there. Staff is awesome and friendly and willing to make changes or ask any questions that are needed. Definitely the best place for gluten free in Redmond.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Highly recommend! High end food with awesome service. Knowledgeable staff. A real treat!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome place! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. They even checked their cheeses to be sure our preservative allergy girl could eat the Mac n cheese.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Solid beer (Not GF) / cider / mixed drink (local OR liquors) menu. Food is locally-sourced and has a nice range of GF offerings. Bartender and waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. We stopped by on a whim on our way to Bend, OR. Would happily recommend this to anyone. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Cool vibe. We’ll be back.

It's hard to find trustworthy gluten free places with a fun family atmosphere. The owner's wife and daughter are gluten sensitive so they really get it and have a ton of gf options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
