Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant

I love the food here, but this is the second time in a row that I’ve gotten glutened. The server seems so knowledgeable, but they do not bring the food to you. In the past they could print a gluten free menu for me, but not in March, 2023.

Got glutened from the turkey burger. The manager had nothing to say other than “we’re gluten friendly not gluten free.”

Celiac friendly?

No

Never had an issue. Good amount of choices.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the Zeus burger. Quite tasty but the GF bun was slightly cold in a few spots.

Gluten free menu with plenty of options. Had a great chicken and quinoa salad. Large portions.

GF menu and even a GF kids menu--jackpot! My wife and 2 yr old son both have Celiac. It's hard enough finding places that are either kid friendly or Celiac friendly, let alone both, but Iron Hill delivers. They plainly state that their kitchen is shared and cross-contamination IS a risk, but we have been fine so far. The GF menu isn't huge but it offers about 5 options each for appetizers, entrees, burgers, and salads. Desserts are limited to ice cream and creme brulee. The kids GF menu has burgers, shrimp, fish, chicken, (the sandwiches come on GF buns) and a good selection of sides. No GF mac n cheese or nuggets for the picky fast food eaters, but not a bad selection at all.

They have a good wine list, two GF beers if you just have to have a beer (although one is Omission which gives some people reactions, so beware) and a full service bar. I found the cocktails to be a bit overpriced/watered down but at least they are inventive and tasty. And their regular non-GF menu and beer selection is quite good, so everyone leaves happy!

The ambience is a bit upscale but busy/noisy enough to feel kid friendly. If a kid is whining or fidgeting, the other guests aren't likely to notice or care.

Ask about GF menus before being seated, and remind your server about GF needs when ordering so there are no mix ups. We did hit one snag with our server (who was brand new to the job) who didn't notice the cookie on our son's ice cream until she was about to serve it. But she fixed it quickly with the kitchen and eveything else about our experience was awesome. We will return again and again as it's one of the few upscale family-friendly options we have where trying to order GF isn't diffcult or downright harrowing.

I’ve eaten here twice and the service is always good, the kitchen staff is attentive and careful with my food, and the food itself is always delicious. I am highly sensitive and haven’t had any reaction here.

If they are busy, forget about it. They won’t accommodate or they will “try” and you will be contaminated.

If they are not busy, and Chef Jorge is available—he can ensure your meal is gluten-free. His partner has celiac so he is very aware.

The staff was exceptionally well prepared with knowledge about gluten sensitivities. The front hostesses let me know that they considered themselves capable of being gluten friendly but exclusively celiac safe because they couldn’t be sure they were 100% cross contamination free. The waiter knew immediately that the fryer wasn’t dedicated, and knew which sauces had gluten. He was thorough and asked a lot of questions.

The bangers (sausage) had gluten and so did the onion sauce, so I went with a pub burger on a GF bun with a non fried side. The pub sauce has soy sauce so the waiter told me and we had it prepared without it.

service- a plus. Food- super tasty. Been a few hours and no issues. Get a cocktail and enjoy yourself!
