Kona Brewing Co.

Menu has changed since these positive reviews. Nothing is marked GF, servers did not know what was safe, or how to change meals to accommodate GF. Do not recommend.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

Relent great! Had the ginger drink and the pork dish. The pork dish is likely the only dish that’s safe, but it was tasty and a good size.

Kona Brewing is a surprisingly good option for gluten-free diners. They have spiked seltzer to drink plus several appetizers and entrees labeled gluten-free on the menu. They were able to adapt the roasted garlic and Gorgonzola dip with tortilla chips (rather than flatbread). I had that and the spinach salad, which was excellent,

Disappointed. Not much to choose from. Imu pork bowl was pretty tasty with no adverse GI issues.

Not really any options unless you like plain salad.

Celiac friendly?

No

There are very few GF options that are celiac safe here (but many labeled “gluten-sensitive”). However, I ordered the Kalua Pork and Rice, and it was delicious! It was listed as a small size meal, but it was more than enough for a full meal. Also ate the chips and guacamole. Chips are not made on-site, so I trusted they were safe, and I did not have a reaction. (They do use paper straws here, and since I’ve heard about some of them not being GF, I chose not to use mine.) overall, a great meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There’s maybe two items that are GF - they don’t even have corn tortillas here - waste of time having this on the app 👎🏼

Celiac friendly?

No

We ordered the nachos which were marked GS for Gluten Sensitive. They looked like they were baked in the oven. Unfortunately, when tested with Nima, gluten was found. The waiter was very understanding and notified the chef. We said we would package up the nachos and take it to my relatives who could eat it. They brought a pizza box for us to take it. When the check came out they took off the nachos. I said they didn’t have to do it, but they said it was the least they could do. So I would give 5 stars for service. However this is a gluten free app so that takes precedence.

Celiac friendly?

No

NOT celiac friendly at all. Staff was like "oh so you are really sensitive to gluten". I was like NO I can't have it at all. STAY AWAY for Celiacs

Zero understanding of celiac. They have "crafted to remove gluten." Which have been proven not safe for celiacs. Plenty of other options if your celiac don't waste your time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very limited gf options - mainly salads. The strawberry spinach salad was tasty, but the catch of the day I added to it was over cooked and tough.

Awesome kale salad and ginger-lemonade!Ordered the half salad and it was still huge. Service was good and knowledgeable. They also offer brewery tour twice a day.

Visited when I was vacationing in Hawaii in 2014. Allergen and Gluten Free menu is limited. Salads, Nachos, etc are on the menu. Cross Contamination is possible. The servers will try as best as they can to avoid contamination. I ate wings and nachos without cheese. Food is fresh, healthy, and yummy. It was pleasant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Choices are limited to salads, nachos, and one kind of fish. Cross contamination is possible. Service was friendly and good. I had a strawberry spinach salad and it was fine.

GF menu, dedicated station. Limited selection. Omission beer. Occasionally have own GF seasonal beer.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free beers were good! Had some yummy nachos, just make sure your salsa is the one made with gf beer!

Server said that cross contamination is likely. I had fish and was ok.

A decent variety of gluten free options. From salads to wings to fish. Also has 2 GF beers.
