Punch Bowl Social

I’ve had a hard time knowing if I got sick from here. Yesterday I ordered a GF sandwich & fries. I noticed the fries looked differently & appeared to maybe have some light breading so I called to ask. I was told the chef “didn’t know” if they were gluten free. I went in & spoke with the manager to let her know how reckless it is that the chef doesn’t know when numerous items are marked gluten free. Additionally, we are told they have a dedicated GF deep fryer for GF fries. I explained now they’ve contaminated their fryer. They were very nice, but I don’t feel she understood the severity of it all. I told her that the staff needs to make sure they notify anyone ordering GF items and that the deep fryer would need to be cleaned extensively. Imagine how many people would or may even have gotten sick.

Did all of the research before going and they checked all of the boxes. Our server was great and answered questions about gf. I double checked when I ordered fries and a sandwich that all was gf. Ended up being severely glutened. Worst reaction I’ve had in 10 years. Reached out to the restaurant 2 different ways to let them know what happened. No response.

Great place, great for families and large groups. They have a ton of gluten free options on their menu, marked either with GF or GFA. I didn't ask if they have a gluten free prep area or dedicated fryers but their menu says that they can't 100% guarantee there isn't cross contamination but they try their best.

I ate here twice. The first time I got nachos and it was fine. The second time I ordered the tacos and was severely glutened..

Celiac friendly?

No

Their "OMFG GF Fried Chicken" is out of this world amazing, and is truly, truly gluten free (celiac-safe.) I have no idea about the rest of the menu, I've never had reason to look at anything else. But you must go for the fried chicken!!! Also they have Lakefront New Grist beer. 1 happy celiac here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really wanted to like this place, because it has such a neat concept. Unfortunately, it took over 2 hours for food to come out, and when it did, it was lukewarm like it had sat in the pass for a while. We told them about our allergies (gluten/soy) and so we ordered 2 meals with that caveat (example: no garlic bread). After over 2 hours and the other meals coming out first (and the waitress not remembering who had the allergies and putting the wrong meals in front of people), that third meal came out with the bread sitting on top of it so we obviously couldn't eat it.

The waitress was nice when we saw her, but left us in the dark about the wait on the food, and with such an extreme wait including messing up our order so badly that one person didn't get fed at all, you'd think they would have done something...comp fries during the extra long wait, reduced price, or make sure our drinks were full at the very least. I sat for over an hour and a half just with ice in front of me.

So the food was good. We went there for brunch. Items that can be gluten free or are are marked. However I am also dairy intolerant. The servers tried but didn’t understand what had gluten or dairy in them. I should have taken that as a warning and changed my order or gone elsewhere but I didn’t and got sick after eating. Just beware when dining here with more serious intolerances.

Not sure if I got glutened, accidbelty had dairy (lactose intolerant), or the salmon wasn’t good but this definitely made me sick :/ I ordered gf marked items and not even the gf available items and still got sick. Just be careful and make sure to be vocal about your allergies! Food tasted good though!
