I could eat everything except the roll with the soup and the desert cream puff. I didn’t like the tomato soup appetizer, but the chicken, potatoes and corn for dinner was amazing! They did all have the same seasoning on them but it’s a pretty generic flavor. And the show was better than I expected
The food was good, but I had to watch for cross contamination. The waitress brought one item at a time on a large tray (soup, bread, chicken, corn, potatoes). She would put the food on our plate with her tongs and go back to the tray to get more and so on. When she put the main dish on my plate, she had just served the person next to me who had eaten bread. I mentioned to her that it was now contaminated since her tongs had touched the plate and the bread seeds on it and that there were risks for me. She went to get my meal directly from the kitchen to avoid this contamination. The food was very good. I had a lemon sorbet for dessert since I couldn't eat the one on the menu.

Was super hesitant about going but my daughter really wanted to go. Called ahead and they said it would be ok for celiac that the just switch bread for veggies and hummus as well as switch dessert for Italian ice cream . Their website is super helpful as well, tells you all the allergen info. She enjoyed chicken, sweet corn and potatoes as well as a cool show! So happy we went and all had a good time and no issues afterwards! I decided to wait at least 4 hours just to make sure she did not get sick
If you come here, I'll assume you know what you're getting into... it's a massive stage where actors do various tricks while riding horses like jousting and throwing spears. It's an interesting experience but I don't think I'd come back, felt the show got stale pretty quickly.
The majority of the food is gluten free, tell your server you can't eat gluten and they'll make sure yours is safe to eat. But you get literally choice in what you eat outside of dietary restrictions. And, eat without utensils since forks apparently didn't exist back then. The food tastes adequate with OK portions but you shouldn't come here if you're really hungry. But, I felt fine after the meal.
Whether you enjoy this comes down to how much you enjoy the show. Don't expect a gourmet meal, but rather one that does the job while you're entertained.
This is one of our favorite places to go when we come to Orlando. I live in Florida and come here often. I have NEVER been sick. Everything is gluten free with the exception of the bread. Which is kept in a separate area in the kitchen. Staff has always been incredible. Dessert is not gluten free depending on what it is (sometimes it's been an ice cream other times has been a pastry) food is always delicious and beyond filling. Not to mention you get an awesome show! Highly recommend. I have eaten here at least 10 times since being gluten free and have never had an issue.
The website said they had gluten free options on their website and said it can be requested at the time of the event.
When we got there I asked our informed our server and he was unsure what the gluten free options were. “His friend” aka another server thought that it all was except for the bread. I inquired about cross contamination in the kitchen, wanting to make sure the bread was prepared on a different surface than the other food. The server didn’t know, said he can’t talk to the chefs, and told me he would get his manager. Everyone else was served their meal, I waited. He couldn’t get a hold of a manager. Finally, when everyone was done eating and finishing dessert the manager came up to tell me that it was safe for me to eat the food. At that point I was frustrated and didn’t trust their word, so I didn’t eat.
It was an awful experience for a business that claims to be gf friendly. The show with the meal was also mediocre, so all around it was a negative experience. I recommend going elsewhere.

This was fun. It was a great time. Food was great. They really knew a lot about the gluten-free. Big warning watch the service where your plates your bowl for your soup is pewter, which is a lot like cast-iron and who knows how other dishwasher gets them clean you can’t get down in the cracksthat are natural in this kind of service where. I requested to have ceramic or paper service plates and the waiter gladly went and got me some plastic and some ceramic dishes to be served on don’t be afraid to ask for extras.
I'm always down for dinner and a show, especially when the options are already gluten-free!
My husband told me he noticed there was a sale this past weekend for Medieval Times in Scottsdale, Arizona. He had been to the location in Texas more than 15 years ago while I had never been.
Not only did we have so much fun watching the horses dance and the falcon fly around the arena, we had a blast cheering for the blue knight from our seats a couple rows under the AV booth and directly across from the King & Queen, but everything but the bread and dessert is already gluten-free!
Our server Mando was fantastic! My husband was given my bread while we each we given a half chicken, corn on the cob, a spiced potato and I had the gluten-free Italian ice while he had an eclair. Coffee, teas and sodas were included. I had a coffee and an unsweetened ice tea.
We also purchased a bottle of sangria that came with 2 souvenir hurricane glasses for $38 and I got a light up souvenir castle cup with a slushy for about $16.
As a Celiac, this was the least stressful gluten-free meal I've had at a restaurant in a long time! I highly suggest it.

Staff were knowledgeable about gf. They swap out the garlic bread for veggies and humus and lemon ice instead of the dessert option. The food wasn’t spectacular, but it did the job. The show was corny but cute. Nice to be able to experience a dinner show with the family even being gf!
Besides the show being excellent and more fun than expected, it was SO nice to be able to eat the regular menu of half chicken, corn, roast potato, and tomato soup even with both dairy and gluten intolerances. The food was really good! They subbed hummus and good quality fresh veggies for the bread, and fresh fruit for dessert. Their allergen chart on the website is the easiest I've seen to navigate. I had no reactions from the food. I am not celiac, but the woman next to me was. Good job, MT!
Food was delicious! Show was so fun! Felt totally fine after eating here which is always a win :)
