Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

I Have never had a problem there with my celiac Always great food and not that pricey

It is gluten friendly but not suitable if you have celiac. We tried it twice and she was sick both times. They specify that it is not gluten free but she liked it before she got diagnosed so we wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately it didn’t work out.

Celiac friendly?

No

Fairly large selection on gluten free menu. Best gluten free desert I’ve tasted!

They have some claimed gluten-free options however every time we have tried to eat there my wife has been in bad shape after word. It’s a real bummer because it such a nice restaurant that cross contamination is really bad.

Celiac friendly?

No

I appreciate that they specify the food is gluten sensitive not gluten free however that is pretty useless to a Celiac. The food is mediocre at best and the few times I have eaten here I haven't felt great after. Not horrible but not good.

great gluten free menu

I ate off the gluten free menu and it was delicious. Had no issues later. I will definitely go there again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

nice servers, gluten SENSITIVE menu. not suitable for celiacs, sorry. dogs allowed on patio. fun atmosphere. menus are available online. I had the flat-iron steak, and it was very yummy. However they only get a 2 star rating because they almost killed me.

My gluten free meal was jam packed with gluten and it landed me in the hospital with inflamed intestines, out-of-control Multiple Sclerosis neuro symptoms and a lost week of productivity. Let's not mention the metric-ton of laundry due to loss of bladder and bowel control. What should have been a lovely mid-range date night dinner turned into one of the worst dining choices of my gluten free life.

One of the best burgers I've tried. Staff was very informative and cautious. Never had any issues

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free vegetarian spaghetti squash and beet balls. It was so yummy.

NOT good for celiac, has a gluten “sensitive” menu. Cross contaminated even when I told the waiter I was celiac. Would not go to again!

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

Our waiter did a great job of making sure our meal was gluten free. The food was great! Will definitely come back

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Beware. They cross contaminate only gluten sensitive NOT gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

No

Very attentive staff. The server sent the manager out, who told us he would talk to the culinary team and tell them to use the "gluten-free kit."

P.S. If you get the cobb salad, get the dressing on the side because otherwise your salad will drown in it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Carrot cake is made with almond flour and delicious. Just keep in mind they don't have a dedicated gf kitchen so the gf menu is labeled gluten sensitive

Separate gluten-free menu and educated staff on celiac disease. Only reason I didn’t give 5 was because food was good but kind of bland since they leave out all sauces and most flavorings. However, I still had NO reaction! Better than nothing, lol

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten-sensitive. I looked it up online to find out what is suppose to be “gluten sensitive” and they had a list of items. As it is at most places it a mixed kitchen with gluten items. I had a lunch special with chicken tortilla soap and baby greens salad. I did ask for no croutons on my salad and they did but it wasn’t many so I just picked them off. This was my first time trying this place. So over all not too bad but I’m also not a celiac so as always know what your ordering.

Full GF menu, sauces are made in-house and only one contains gluten. The staff are knowledgeable.

I wouldn’t recommend the shrimp tacos, but everything else at our table was reportedly excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice restaurant but little options and they warn you of cross contamination on the “Gluten Sensitive” menu that nothing is gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very knowledgeable staff. They have a gluten free menu but we’re able to modify things from the regular menu as well. Waiter checked on multiple things I had questions about.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is a Gluten Free menu which is rather large and includes a dessert option. It is clearly stated at the top of the menu that there is risk of cross contamination, but with that I spoke to the waiter and let them know I have celiac and he seemed well versed on how to handle the food. I ordered the grilled chicken, with mashed potatoes, black beans and a side of chicken tortilla soup. It was all good, although the chicken was rather bland. They do have a bunch of in house sauces they make but I was a little too nervous to give them a try, not sure if they were GF or not. It’s been about 3 hours since I left the restaurant and I haven’t had any issues. Definitely a place I can add to my “safe” list.

Great restaurant, but not for anyone who is celiac. The gluten free menu is a joke, and has mainly drinks on it. Will not be returning as it is so limited, also staff does not seem to know what gluten even is.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten sensitive menu was promising but the hamburger (no bun) I ordered from it came up as gluten found when tested with Nima. My companions enjoyed their meals. Would not recommend for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Trying this place out tonight - we’ll see how it goes

The GS Sweet & Spicy Wok was amazing and the GS Flat Iron Steak was good. Sides were yummy!

GF menu is extremely limited, restaurant is crowded and loud thanks to the poor design. I didn't get glutened – but the meal was bad. The server didn't seem to understand the importance of cross contamination, so I wouldn't trust eating at the place again. My husband ate my leftovers and said he could have gotten something better at McDonalds.

Celiac friendly?

No

lovely gluten free menu with knowledgeable wait staff. The sweet and spicy bowl is delightful!

they also have kids items on the gluten free menu!

Not a 100% dedicated safe kitchen. Risk is explained on the top of the GF menu. With that said, I was made to feel comfortable kitchen would take extra precautions. No issues.

Amazing!! The gluten free menu has many options. I had the chicken tortilla soup and the Tex Mex salad. Soooo good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff were really nice and tried to be accommodating. They have a gluten free menu however they outright state that they are NOT a gluten free kitchen and there is chance of cross contamination in their kitchen so it’s not celiac safe. My lunch mate said the food is pretty good, though she is not gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

No

Long story short... I ordered my food off of the gluten free menu, specifically noting that it is not a "preference" and to please note "allergy". The meal I ordered is shown on both menus, and I was not the only one ordering this dish... so I wanted to make it clear. My meal arrived the same as the other, and the server was not aware of one being gluten free. We asked to talk to our waitress.... I was told that it was gluten free and she questioned me on why I didn't trust it. She had 2 other people come out to confirm that it was gluten free... I still didn't trust it due the potato side that is typically made with flour. Finally the GM came over, told me that the dish is gluten free noting that he discussed it with the chef. OK, I feel better. As he turned to walk away, he turned back to me and said "Unless you can't have the flour in the potatoes"... we blew up a little, and he grabbed my plate and stormed off saying "I told him that the flour might be an issue!".

He brought my plate back with a different potato option, clarifying that it is definitely gluten free.

Our waitress came back a while later to check on us... out of curiosity we asked if she noted the order as gluten free. She said "No, I didn't. The dish is shown on the gluten free menu and the regular menu so it should be gluten free". We let her know that the gluten free menu has substituted items to make it gluten free, and that I could have been seriously ill if I had trusted them. She blew it off as a menu issue and not her fault.

In the end, I was still sick that night. Not as severe as it could have been though.

The waitress, general manager, and the chef failed to know what needed to be done for a dish on their gluten free menu to actually be gluten free.

Major fail, and I have no intentions of trying again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Lazy DOG has a gluten free menu. I order from it and have never had a problem here. Very tasty food choices!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered off the “Gluten Sensitive” menu. Good selection and a nice choice of sides. Even a dessert! I got the Grilled Shrimp tacos and let the Waitress know that I am Celiac not just “sensitive” and they were delicious and I have had No issues! Yay!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have amazing options on a GF menu. The servers are aware and friendly. My favorite to get is the Chicken Tortilla Soup and also the Hummus with Vegetables which is huge and very flavorful. There are tons of options. Definitely a place I attend regularly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wide variety of options and cuisine. A “something for everyone” place. Love that they have a separate printed GF menu with safe choices or items that can be modified. Rice bowls, chicken entrees, lettuce wrap burger, some salad options. Fun vibe and friendly staff that was familiar with needs of a GF diner.

Always have had a great gluten-free experience at Lazy Dog. Staff have been very knowledgeable and careful. And it’s great that you can bring your dogs if you eat outside on the patio. They’re very doggie friendly. They always bring the dogs water and even have a doggie menu. Nice restaurant!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten Free menu is readily available, they seem to understand. Gf dessert too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

First time I ordered there no problem, but second time I ordered (gluten sensitive sweet and spicy shrimp) every item tested positive for gluten on my Nima tester. Ugh.

Celiac friendly?

No

I LOVE COMING HERE! Whenever I go out to eat lazy dogs is always at the top of my list of gf places to go. 😁🙌❤

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sweet and spicy shrimp or tofu dish is the best!!

It's still a fairly new restaurant so service is not that great. But the food was amazing and worth the trip.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten sensitive menu. There seemed to be multiple meals that could easily be made into gluten free options. The food is delicious and that is worth the limited choices.

They are a Lazy Dog when it comes to their gluten free menu. The regular menu is filled with mouth watering selections. They hand you the gluten free menu and it looks like a weight watchers menu, such as hamburger patty on a slice of lettuce. Very disappointing. Many of the regular items look like they could make it a gluten free option like a salad without croutons, but they don’t make an effort to customize their menu to give you a bigger selection. Wont be back. It took too long to figure out what I could eat.

Very very very small gf menu. Everything they do have on it was expensive and plain. I actually left to go elsewhere it was that minuscule and unappealing.

Don’t trust the servers at this restaurant. They have not been properly trained to serve people with food allergies

Celiac friendly?

No

Great experience. The gluten free menu says across the top "ask your server to notify management about your allergy." I did so, and the manager was very helpful and attentive. I had Tex-Mex salad without tortilla strips (we weren't 100% sure about the fryer) and the GF lemon cake, which was delicious. My Nima tester failed on the entree (bad capsule), but gave me a GF result for the cake.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nima Tested the hamburger 🍔, the mash potatos, and wedge salad all came back NO gluten! Was very good! 👍

The staff was knowledgeable and they had a gluten-free menu with some good options. I didn’t get sick or have any problems.

I got the salmon and mashed potatoes with tortilla soup. The soup came with a cheese crisp that wasn’t GF. Got sick after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have eaten from their gluten free menu a few times since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I have not had any issues!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

some gluten free options, but limited

They have a whole menu for gluten-free options, even one option off the weekend brunch menu.

Somewhat limited gf menu- mostly salads, salmon, plain chicken. I chose to have the sweet and spicy wok with shrimp and it was awesome! I definitely recommend that dish.

I have Celiac. I ordered the gluten free Hawaiian fried rice and tested it with my Nima Sensor, which determined it was gluten free. The waitress asked about specifics of Celiac so I was happy she wanted to learn.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had gluten free menu for brunch, lunch and dinner. Service was good with solid drink menu. Could offer a few more selections but everything is good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We are a bit disappointed with the selection. Even though they have a full page of gluten free menu, but if you take out the drinks, brunch, lunch specials, and desserts... you pretty much left with not much to choose from.

large gf menu. had the sweet and spicy wok with tofu- crispy on the outside - soft inside, just how it should be.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
