Jack's Restaurant & Bar

Very unfortunately, items listed on the menu with a GF HAVE GLUTEN IN THEM.

The chili has a GF symbol next to it on the menu. I told the server that I have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. He was very helpful but a little bit clueless. He came back and asked if it was a preference or an allergy. I said worse it’s celiac disease

He came returned and said the cheese on top of the chili has wheat in it. Then came back and said the chili itself has wheat in it.

Sigh..

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

I’ve got celiac and the manager is very knowledgeable. The staff is too but not a certain as the manager, which is why I’m only giving 4 stars. I would recommend the GF California Mac & cheese. It was so good and I had no issues. They don’t have a dedicated fryer at this time, but they do make sure to cook the GF pasta separately from the other pasta.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My daughter’s gluten free bacon Mac & cheese came back gluten found. Such a bummer because it looked good!

Needed to eat Gluten free and found ourselves in the peninsula. This was a nice surprise, the sandwiches can be made with their GF bread (you have to ask, it's not on their gluten-free menu) and the GF Mac and cheese (with bacon) was hit with my wife.

Fast, attentive service means we'll add this to our favorites when we're back in the area.

Went to San Mateo location. No dedicated fryer (maybe at other locations?). Mac n cheese very rich. Chicken and salmon good. Wish they would put things like burgers on menu without bun or Caesar without croutons. Lively atmosphere and busy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this restaurant. Lots of Gluten free options. The Gluten Free Mac and Cheese is amazing. 4 different kinds to choose from.

Celiac friendly?

No
