Max & Erma's

They gave my husband and I a regular bun then took the burger back and swapped out ONLY the bun. I asked if All she did was swap the bun and she said yes... told her that it doesn’t work that way and The gluten will still be on the burger patty and the rest of the food on the plate... so they made us fresh burgers.... then my husbands egg was runny when he asked for over hard... the manager cams and told us she would give us $1 off for the egg... after they almost put my in a hospital. DONT EAT HERE. Wish I could give 0 stars

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was good, but staff seemed to not have much knowledge about celiacs or even allergies and cross contamination, so make sure you stress that gloves should be changed. Also, be aware of what you order because when I was ordering off the gf menu the waitress asked if fries were ok for me. If I didn't read the gf menu carefully I may have said yes but they say right on their menu that their fries aren't gluten free.

I was gluten there. I won't go back.

Server was very knowledgable of GF choices! They had a separate GF menu with quite a variety of options. I had a chicken sandwich (burger) on their GF bun. The bun was soft and tasty! Good food & service!

We go to max and Erma’s everytime we come out to Pittsburgh for penguins games and my girlfriend says they have the best gluten free buns she’s ever had.

I have been twice now and it will absolutely be a regular location for me now that I know I have celiac disease! They have a separate menu for gluten-free items with a wide variety of items off of their main menu. Not like most places where it feels super limited. Reasonably priced. mashed potatoes are delicious!!! The staff is super great even when they're busy!

Our waitress was phenomenal... Cassie was her name. She knew all about Celiac disease. Made sure my food was prepped and cooked just right for me! I'm allergic to potatoes & mushrooms, have a thyroid disease so need to avoid nightshade as well. She was totally on it! She went above and beyond for me. And I appreciated it very much.

They have a “gluten sensitive” menu and gluten free buns for burgers. I ordered a salad from this menu and clearly specified gluten free, it arrived with a big fat breadstick right on top.
