Pick Up Stix

I have celiac & have to be very careful whwn going here. They do have a few things on the menu, but make sure you ask questions & stress the level of sensitivity you have.

Always enjoy my food. ;-)

First of all, the food tasted good (bourbon chicken specially) and I do not blame the resturaunt itself for the problems I had. However, the employee serving me was lazy at my expense. I started out by asking if there were any gluten-free options, as I do at any restaurant. Without skipping a beat, he said no. I responded something along the lines of, "Oh, my bad. I had read online that there were." In response to this, he turned his head and looked at the allergen sheet on the wall RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. Upon actually reading the sheet, he found that there were, in fact, three options (bourbon chicken, white rice, and a vegetable something). I asked for those three gluten-free things. Now here was the second problem. He misread the allergen sheet. Instead of giving me the gluten-free vegetables, he gave me the teriyaki vegetables, which do contain gluten.

The moral of the story is that this is a good restaurant, but you should take the employees' word with a grain of salt.

Gluten free options are white rice, grilled chicken, and stir fried vegetables. I’m not a huge fan of stir fried vegetables so I had a very plain meal, lol. They advertise gluten free, so I’m not sure why it would be that hard to offer gluten free fried rice.

They were out of rice, but had bourbon chicken and green beans. The server double checked the allergen information which was posted on the wall.

Not safe for celiac. Not sure why it would be said to be safe. Impossible to avoid cross contact.

I was excited to try the pad thai but the company changed the recipe and it’s no longer gluten free. I got the grilled bourbon chicken. It was ok. Just chicken and rice.
