Review of Pierce Tavern

Newly open in heart of Downers Grove. There is not a gluten free menu, but server was knowledgeable and suggested suitable choices from regular menu. Extra points for server saying that they did not have a dedicated gluten free kitchen and cross contamination was possible, but they followed safe practices. Gluten Free bun is available for burgers and sandwiches. I had a burger on gluten free bun with a Crispen cider (they also have Vander Mill cider). Burger was juicy and cooked as ordered with fresh toppings and a side of cole slaw. There are other GF possibilities including salads and entrees. Full bar with craft cocktails. The place is very popular and wait times can be long; reservations only for 6 or more. I’ll definitely return. (04-17-2019 update: my 2nd visit today was just as good as my 1st).
