This place was amazing. Awesome food. Awesome service and extremely knowledgeable and took special care with allergies. Lots of yummy options too. They even announced the fact I have celiac and my friends mushroom allergy when they brought the food to the table. If I could give a 10 star rating I dont feel like that would even be enough.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious food! Very friendly and knowledgeable about Celiac Disease and cross-contamination. GF buns and separate fryer. Highly recommend!

Terrific place, excellent burgers, everything clearly marked gluten free in the menu, dedicated fryer for fries, Udi’s buns and multiple gluten free beers as well as ciders, Kiki was a wonderful server, highly recommended

Celiac friendly?

The staff is great about all gf options. They have 3 can\bottle gluten free beers and 4 ciders options. The corn beef for the is beer braised despite have a gf label next to it but that only applies to the veggie options which my server let me know right on the spot. Went two nights in a row because of how great it was!

Great GF bun. So nice to have a burger with a bun. Good GF chicken wings too!

By far the best gluten free burger I’ve ever had.

I had an AMAZING dinner here. I tried the sweet potato fries (a little spicy for me but delish) as they have a DEDICATED FRYER, and a breakfast burger, complete with egg, bacon, and peanut butter. Surprisingly one of the best burger combos I’ve ever had! The staff was very knowledgeable about my celiac and dairy allergy. I would highly recommend this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable about celiac friendly accommodations. Great celiac friendly menu, including kids menu. Cannot say enough great things about red cow

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was delicious! Almost anything can be made gluten free and the fries and chips were made in a separate fryer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was just ok. The gluten free bun was really soggy and basically disintegrated into the burger. They have GF fries which were good but cooked a little overdone. Our server was not friendly. Drinks were not cheap. It was an alright experience but I won’t be returning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff very knowledgeable and said they’re great with all allergies. Had the Bison burger and it was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent meal-Dedicated fryer!!

Lots of options and the food was very good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu is clearly marked with gluten free options (about half of the menu can be ordered GF). I had the turkey burger on a GF bun with regular fries in a dedicated GF fryer (both very yummy). I also had the Glutenberg Pale Ale beer (also very good). Overall great meal and ambiance. Others have stated the prices are high, but I think they’re fine since the food and service was quality. My bill was $23.50 with tax.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a ahi tuna burger and GF French fries! I requested no bun, and they offered a gf bun or lettuce wrap. Waiter was good with the GF DF requests. The fries ( both regular and sweet potato) are really good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate fryer....yay! Good burger (with gf roll) and fries. A happy find.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the bbq boneless wings... just to find out later they are not gluten free. We even asked the waiter to check on it. Everything else is good but a little overpriced.

It was a GF hamburger and fries. Add on the tip and parking and we dropped over $40.00 for 2 burgers and water. The seeing is like a bar or lounge, not really our scene. There are better options fit us, for less.

Best burger I’ve ever had. Beef was supreme and flavorful. Cheese was top notch. Dressing was perfect for the burger. Fries are very good and dedicated fryer. Bun was okay but good for GF, so it was still dry and crumbled. But the hamburger outshined the bread!

Amazing! Celiac safe. Go here! Dedicated fryer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac Friendly. Many of the burgers can be done gluten free. The poutine is great. They usually have at least one gluten free cider and it is often something interesting and hard to find. Open late nights, one of the best places for a late night meal.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu was clearly marked what was gluten free and staff was very knowledgeable. All I had to do was say I wanted the gluten free option. They even had gluten free buns and bread that tasted very good. Felt safe eating there!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the turkey burger on the GF bun with Parmesan truffle fries. Bun was a bit dry which is typical of many GF buns, but I was so excited for the dedicated fryer so I could enjoy fries! I didn't have any reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eat here! get the poutine. get the root beer pulled pork. get one of the specialty ciders (I had the Mac Jac). then cancel all other dinner /lunch plans you have while in the twin cities and eat your next meal here, and the next. Celiac safe, separate fryers, knowledgeable team.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable staff and get GF options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Our server was awesome and explained how they had their gluten free options. I'm new yo gluten free and had a very delicious and enjoyable dinner out with my husband. Definitely will be back. Lots of options to choose from including cider, salads, burgers and so much more!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, great service.

Been to every Red Cow in town, and thus far, every spot has been great for celiacs. Rare GF frier means we can get fries and a burger. Almost all their burgers are optioned as GF, so be sure to order clearly. Also, most of the servers actually KNOW what celiac is. Points.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am a celiac and got wicked glutened by there burger. Its possible that they didn't catch that I ordered GF, but I have just went through 2 awful days of serious gluten poisoning--this was no cross contamination. The burger was good, the fries were good, but gluten poisoning is not worth even an amazing dining experience. Celiac peeps, make sure that you double check with the server about your order.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great burgers with gluten free bun option. Big drink list of ciders and wines.

Great burgers! I love being able to have fries and a bun with my burger. Be sure to not use the housemade ketchup. Great place. I've eaten here many times and have never gotten sick.

Be careful if you've never been before our first experience was horrible. We gave them another try and they were awesome. Amazing chips and dips. Boneless wings, burgers

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered the patty melt and got extremely glutened.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and not. The menu was very well labeled and anything I had a question about the staff was able to answer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fabulous experience! There is SO much on the menu that is gluten free, and they have a dedicated fryer! We spoke with a manager and he said they take gluten free items and celiac disease very seriously. He mentioned they have staff members with celiac disease that have helped educate on celiac and the precautions that need to be taken. I had boneless buffalo wings for the first time in years!! SO good and I’d highly recommend!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here a lot because I've always had great luck here, but just had a particularly outstanding service experience. My family ordered takeout from here tonight and the food came home with my "allergy" listed on the ticket, but the gf bread looked different than usual. We also received something in our bag that we hadn't ordered, so my radar was already up that they might be having an "off" night. I was going to just trust it and eat my food, hoping they were right, but I decided to double check. I called and talked to the front of house manager. It was 6:15pm - middle of dinner rush - and they were clearly swamped. But he took a full 10 minutes on the phone with me including double checking with the chef and all kinds of other details about the order to finally be able to fully assure me that I did indeed receive the gluten free (celiac safe) version of what I ordered. Many restaurants would've treated me much differently, especially knowing that they were right about what they received. I was blown away about how kind and respectful this manager was.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate fryer and their menu is labeled with GF for items they can make gluten free. My daughter loved the gluten free bun!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’m sad to share this but it is a lesson for due diligence on everyone’s part.

Before I ordered, I shared that I had celiac and was quickly assured that my meal would be made gluten free with diligence given to cross contact (changing gloves, dedicated fryer, etc). The server said that they were writing it down as serious and would talk to the kitchen staff. Later, when my meal came, I again asked for confirmation that it was gluten free and was told it was. I was skeptical because the bun looked the same as glutinous ones but I did not think to press it in the moment. While I was eating fries but before I bit into the burger, a manager came over asking if I had ordered a gluten free burger. After I said yes they apologized and took the plate away. The server came back over and apologized and said that it was the fault of the kitchen because they (the server) had asked the kitchen staff before taking it that it was gluten free. Later, the manager said that there were multiple points where both the server and kitchen staff should have caught it and is planning on talking to all of the staff because of this misstep. I thanked the manager because this is serious and many people’s health depend upon it, especially when Red Cow is often recommended on #GFTCMN.

TL;DR listen to your instincts and ask questions/ask to speak to a manager when ordering. But even when you do, mistakes still happen.

Celiac friendly?

No

Have eaten here several times without issue, but my last visit, I got sick. We typically go during slower times, but this time was a very busy Saturday night. After reading other reviews, I would say that they are still Celiac Friendly, but you have to be diligent every time you go. I admittedly have become lax after several times of going, but just telling them I had celiac and needed to be gluten free was not enough the last time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

THIS PLACE IS NOT GF FRIENDLY. While they have gluten free items, they have continued to make mistakes, even when I ask the wait staff to notify them that it's an allergy. After 4 chances, I am officially done. I have gotten, and eaten, burgers with a normal bun. I have ordered wings, and after eating, am notified that they contain soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went for lunch on a Monday at 2pm. Had the turkey burger. Delicious! Just right amount of food, not too heavy. I’m celiac and super sensitive and all was fine. Waitress was helpful and friendly, checked about the grills. Non-gf hubby enjoyed his burger in gf bread.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was so knowledgeable. They even let us know that their sweet potato fries, while GF, they come from a distributor. Thus, they wanted us aware in case of cross contamination. We were so grateful for the attention to details. Highly recommend the bison burger!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing gf options! Dedicated fryers too. We got to have french fries, I can't remember the last time I ate restaurant fries. Delicious!

my food came out wrong but the manager made everything right and he was so nice about everything.

I had a very helpful server. They don't have a dedicated toaster, so my GF bread wasn't toasted. My food was great, no reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gluten free options and staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination. Lots of cider options and sometimes gluten free beer options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered pulled pork sandwich with gluten free bun and server said she would make sure to let kitchen know that it needed to be gluten free. Order came out on a regular bun. The person suggested I keep the salad (touching the bun) and he would bring a new sandwich. I’ve lost my trust in red cow’s understanding of gluten free preparation. Celiac’s should stay away.

Great spot for a patty melt on the patio! Good GF beer options and incredibly kid friendly...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious burger, with glutenberg beer. Very celiac friendly. (Apparently, to make the poutine GF it would have to be without cheese, which is sad, but not the end of the world.)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF burger I've had in a long time! They have a dedicated fryer! I will definitely be going back!

OMG best gf meal I've had in a while! Root beer pulled pork on gf bun, fresh fruit, chicken wings and the best gf beer!

Lots of options, knowledgeable, dedicated fryer, good buns!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So good! Good service. Dedicated fryer! Definitely going back!

Celiac friendly?

I have eaten here practically a million times, and NEVER gotten glutened! Consistently Friendly staff, get the Manhattan 2.0, it’s clearly the best on the menu. They also have a dedicated fryer!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Visited for a late lunch/early dinner, so it wasn’t busy. All items on regular menu that can be made GF are marked as so. Server was very attentive and they have a dedicated fryer for their fries. I got the GF grilled cheese and tomato soup, and a side of fries and didn’t get sick at all! I will definitely be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was awesome. Separate fryers for chips, fries and tots. GF buns at no extra cost. Menu clearly labeled

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff, for the most part, was extremely knowledgeable about gluten free items on the menu, and how to prepare everything safe enough for those of us with celiac. And when someone didn’t know, they always go and get someone. This has become our go-to restaurant. They even have a gluten free fryer!! Also VERY vegetarian/vegan friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great burgers and fries, knowledgeable staff

My celiac boyfriend’s favorite place. He said “Best burgers in Minneapolis and I haven’t had great French fries like this in 10 years.”

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were here on Mother’s day and didn’t realize there was a special menu. The hostess was able to point out everything on the menu that was gluten free. We ended up coming back later to order off the regular menu and had outstanding service!

Celiac friendly?

Lots of GF options, very knowledgeable staff and a dedicated fryer! Delicious food and drinks! Definitely recommend!

Dedicated gluten free fryer, and a delicious gluten free bun. Did not get sick, and the food was absolutely wonderful.

Amazing food! I highly recommend it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a delicious gluten free grilled cheese and tomato soup. Restaurant offers a ton of GF options. Reasonably priced and great service.

gluten free corn puffs coveted in caramel and bacon were great. breakfast burger with a gluten free bin was awesome. Separate boiler for fries. They even have gluten free beer options. Super celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love their burgers and fries. Every once in a while they do mess up and give a regular bun. Make sure you remind them they have to remake everything as they have tried just switching out the bun. I have been here many times and only had that issue a couple times. The servers genuinely seem to care. Overall I would recommend it to anyone.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful gluten free options and dedicated fryer for Parmesan Truffle Fries and homemade potato chips. Very enjoyable meal and fun ambiance.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten free section is large and they have gluten free bread for burgers. The staff was knowledgeable and the food was great!

Have separate fryer for French fries. Sweet potato fries are NOT gluten free. Tell them of the allergy and very accommodating. Great burgers!!

Delicious! I had the turkey burger with fruit and shared the apple/bacon/blue cheese poutine as an appetizer. I wouldn't definitely go here again!

Excellent gluten free burgers, and good service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food! A separate fryer is used for the French fries and they have gluten free buns for the burgers.
