Maywood Grill

Visited here a few months ago with my partner and had one of the worst experiences I’ve had as a Celiac. I thought with it being a nicer place and advertising GF options that this would be a great option. I found out that the GF pizza is made in the same oven as other pizza. I asked my server about other food options and ended up getting a chicken sandwich with a gf bun and a side salad.

The server did not seem receptive to me asking if they could take precautions with my food like changing gloves, etc. and when they brought out the salad it had croutons on it (which I’d obviously asked for it not to have). After eating just half of the chicken sandwich and like 1/3 of the new salad they brought me, I didn’t get violently sick but I felt a little ill afterwards (probably got cross-contaminated) and had been too anxious the whole time to really enjoy the experience. The food was also pretty mediocre (even to my non-Celiac partner) and the portion size wasn’t great for how much we paid.

They also advertise that they have tons of gluten-free baked goods but at the time we went, all they had was one (1) GF cupcake. It’s a shame we had this experience because there aren’t too many GF options near Uniontown and this place is in a beautiful location.

I visit this place at least once a month and have never had issues with feeling sick after a meal. They recently upgraded their GF pizza crust and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had - and the size of a medium pizza instead of a tiny personal one. They also occasionally have incredible GF desserts and cheesecakes, and I believe they also have a GF bun for sandwiches. A wonderful place to stop on your visit to the mountains.
