Staff is knowledgeable about allergies. Gluten free fryer. Had the black bean chili soup and sweet potato fries. My go to restaurant at the Minneapolis airport.
Had the wings and sweet potato fries. Menu is marked with a decent amount of options.
I got the breakfast bowl. Server said they cannot make guarantees about GF as it is a shared kitchen. I asked for them to try their best. Food was out quickly and tasted decent. My gut did not feel very good after an hour so there was probably some cross contamination.

This is my go to place when I need to grab some grub at MSP. The wings and sweet potatoe fries are legit good and safe to eat. I've also really enjoyed the fried cauliflower.
Staff is knowledgeable and can answer questions. Ordered the Macro Bowl to-go. I did hear they make the pastries in a common kitchen with “flour flying everywhere” so I would double check with them on those before ordering.
A nice organic protein bowl....Quite pricey but most airports are. The counter staff wasn't very friendly but we were able to find something GF.
Went here on both directions of a recent trip for a sit down meal. No problem with the gf breakfast bowl on the way out but on the return ordered one of the salads and found a piece of bread buried in the guacamole (told the server both times about my celiac and asked them to communicate it to the kitchen). All of the salads are labeled GF so I had hoped this would be a safe option but clearly not. Restaurant seemed very under staffed, do not trust their kitchen. A few items in the grab and go market are GF but if prepared in the same kitchen it may not be the best move if you are sensitive to cross contamination
Friendly, clear that they only have one toaster, only one person seemed to be aware of celiac. They say they take the gluten free things to the griddle, and they wipe down the griddle first.
I am pleased to be able to find GF in the airport. There are a variety of choices that are good and other options that can be made GF. Service is slow however.
No GF items at all, except brownies and pastries in shared cabinet. Staff member was very clear they had no GF bread or other options. Don't rely on this location.
Waitress was very aware of celiac requirements. Noted the disclaimer on potential but she had everything wiped down. Had GF bread and son said best bacon.
Knowledgeable about GF. Food is wayyyyy better than most airport fare. Being adjacent to Chick Fil A probably hurts their business (I also like CFA). The chicken & wild rice soup is excellent. Sandwiches can be GF and come with a salad that has fresh greens. Be sure to specify GF when you order.
Breakfast option: GF oatmeal and appeared to be low risk of cross-contamination. But celiacs beware: all GF pastries are in a shared case with non-GF.
Server Ken was quite possibly the most considerate and helpful in my whole experience. Asking about how sensitive I am, recommending what would be the most safe for me to eat, and working closely with kitchen staff to ensure food safety. Celiac with very sensitive system Had the macro bowl, so delicious!
SO good. Chic Fil A was closed, so I had to pick somewhere else. I give this place 9/10. A little confusing because there is a coffee bar with a restaurant attached to the back. I almost missed it. Seat yourself. Food took a little while to come. I got the Mahi tacos with sweet potato fries. With tips, my total was $30. It was WORTH it. Super filling. 45 minutes is the minimum you will need for this place.
Grabbed a caramel brownie while passing through. It was delish, and I was so excited to have a gfree dessert option. Those are hard to come by! :)
I cannot comment on safety as I’m sensitive, not Celiac.
Sought this place out due to GF options. Ordered & verified breakfast items were all able to be GF & was told I could get GF toast to make it GF. Picked up order & ate a bite of toast. Nope. Asked & was told ‘Oh no, I forgot’. Ouch. Check & double-double check here!
The waiter told me the wings are not safe because everything is in a shared fryer :( contrary to other reviews
I eat here all of the time! They have gluten free toast as well, just not on the menu. I usually order Chicken tacos with sweet potato fries or even regular fries. I always let them know I have celiac/gluten allergy. I’ve also gotten avocado roast with eggs and bacon. I eat here once a week and have never had an issue, and I have severe issues with CC.
Good selection, I got excited about the amount of gluten free deserts on the menu. In the cafe I noticed they would have one tray of gluten free donuts next to or on the lower shelf next to a tray of just vegan donuts. Just worth noting some possible cross contamination but this has to be the most friendly place for celiacs in the airport.
My daughter had the chicken wings with no sauce (she’s 5) and french fries. Tasted good, and no adverse reaction. Several other options on the menu as well and we were able to quickly pay our bill via QR code which was nice since we were in a rush at the airport.
Worth every penny! Love this restaurant, so many options and fast service
I got the breakfast bowl & a caramel chocolate brownie for my early morning flight - the brownie was pretty good, the bowl definitely needed some seasoning, but no reaction to either one!
Very thankful for a warm cup of soup before my flight. They even had GF crouton.
Servers aren't that knowledgeable or maybe the language barrier just sucked. They do have gluten free bread, though it's not on the menu.
Got the chicken and rice soup which was good, quick and gluten free!!
They do have GF bread and it’s not on the menu. I had a sandwich, fries, and a lemon bar. The food was great. There are soups, breakfast options, donuts.
Very good food, but extremely limited options. No gf bread/buns. Most options are for breakfast - if eating outside of this time your selection is small. I did really like the tacos, however.
Menu has clear statement that all items that are labelled GF have GF ingredients and warns there is potential for cross contamination in the kitchen. I ordered the fries and enjoyed not having to give the waiter my medical history because of the reports here that the frier is dedicated GF and the menu is clearly labelled. Aioli was delicious and I had no celiac reaction.
Im a celiac. I asked the counter girl 3 times if the chicken wrap was gluten free since wheat or gluten was not in the ingredients. She adamantly said it was gluten free. After the first few bites I had a reaction. I asked her again, and she said that has wheat after looking at a chart. Now stuck in airport very sick.
Note that there are multiple locations at the airport. The grab and go are not safe. The sit down restaurant is - deducted gf fryer, staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. You can go to the bar and order “to go”. We purposely try to fly through MSP rather than MKE or ORD because we know that we can get good and safe food.
Had a Turkey burger without the bun. Only thing that goes in the fryer is fries and they have nothing on the menu that would be fried except fries.
They have GF brownies, lemon bar, maple donut, wild rice soup, black bean chili
Their French fries are marked as GF on the menu but I asked our server and he let me know that they are fried in a shared fryer.
I would give the waiter here a 5 star but the place for gluten free a 1 star, as I really appreciated that he said it was not a good idea to eat here if I was sensitive. He said the risk of cross contamination was high and he could not guarantee it would be safe. I really wanted the sweet potatoes fries lol but I got a bag of gluten free puff cheeses from the little grocery store instead. The delta lounge close by also had gluten free brownies.
Gluten free is labeled on the menu! Fries, tacos, and even dessert?! This was an amazing treat during my layover at MSP.
Great GF options-including donuts! Had the wild rice soup and sweet potato fries. Generous portion on the fries and they were shoestring cut so nice and crispy. Great find at the MSP airport. Will be back!
We were passing through on a layover and found this gem. Loved the option of chicken and wild rice soup.
My go-to at the MSP airport. Haven’t had a reaction after each visit. Separate fryers, etc.
Gluten free fryer. Great fries, hummus & wings. Knowledgeable bartender. I travel with family who are celiac and no reaction or problems. Great stop if your at the Minneapolis airport!
Very frustrating this last go around. Showed up at 7:55 (they close at 8:00) and they said they shut dinner service and only grab and go was available. Even though it was clear one table just sat down.
They were not even concerned about helping us. When we asked what GF options there were with grab n go they said cookies and turned away. It’s a real shame as this place is usually better than this.
Great gf selection and excellent food. God the turkey bacon sandwich on gf bread. Was great and fast!
The staff are very friendly. The food is large portions. It was so good. Highly recommend the caramel brownie that is gluten free!
Nice sit down restaurant in the MSP airport. They also have a quick service counter at the front with coffee and pastries and soups. Some of the soup options are gluten free.
Dine in menu is well marked with GF and has a good selection. Soups, wings, fries, tacos (chicken, fish, or tofu options) as well as multiple gluten free desserts!
Waitress was knowledgeable about the fryer.
Gluten free options available. Their breakfast bowl was amazing.
Slow service. Staff is not well educated. Had to have my order remade and it was still cross contaminated. Sick within minutes if finishing food. Avoid!

Lots of options. Offer GF toast but goes in same toaster.
The food is good. They have many gfree options including desserts. The waiter advised me to not get the fries that the dryer uses for both gfree food and gluten food. So ask questions before you order.
The menu is marked GF on a few items and quite a few have GF substitutions available for them
I let the staff know I had celiacs and the waitress double checked with the manager. They did inform me that not everything GF would be 100% safe. I choose two options the waitress consulted the manager and I received the breakfast bowl. Very delicious and I did not get sick. I felt safe with how cautious they were being. They also informed me that their doughnuts were vegan and gluten free. So I had a chocolate doughnut. It was wonderful. Great staff and food
Wonderful - this is by far my favorite celiacs-friendly restaurant in all of greater Minneapolis. I have eaten there dozens of times and I have never been disappointed. For anyone seeking really delicious, fresh, reliable gluten free sandwiches or hot meals this is the place to go. (Also try the veggie hash -it's amazing).
