Noah's Canteen

Terrible. Worst dining out I can remember in 5 years since discovering our celiac diagnoses. I called and made a reservation and asked specifically if celiac could be accommodated. Was assured of Gf burgers/buns, Gf pizza, and gf tacos. Upon arrival, we were informed that the pizza is cooked on a regular flour surface with no ability to separate, everything fried is in a shared fryer, and burgers could only be cooked on same surface where regular buns were cooked. We asked if a wet washcloth could be run across the grill quickly before our items were placed down, just on our area of the grill with no expectations for a thorough cleaning of the whole grill. Waitress said kitchen manager refused. When the kitchen manager came out at our request, she was obviously angry and informed us they could cook our dinner in a separate skillet. She was exasperated when we gratefully accepted the offer, reminding us that they’re busy at dinner time and making my son and I feel like absolute crap for a debilitating illness we cannot control. We just smiled and thanked her for the skillet offer, in spite of her trying to convince us not to dine and just watch the rest of the family eat by saying the food wouldn’t taste as good prepared in the skillet. Story of the celiac’s life. It’s been a long time since we were made to feel like such an inconvenience when dining out. The only good thing I can say is that the waitress, who was stuck between a rock and a hard place, was very sweet. Don’t go here if you have celiac disease. Wildcat Pizza is a fantastic alternative that is close by.

They have gf buns for burgers and gf crust for pizza (or flatbreads). Chose flatbread toppings (steak & blue) with GF crust and didn’t get glutened.
