Red Heat Tavern

Nearly everything on the menu is gf. The burger bun is not so big you can’t get it in your mouth, and it’s tender, not tough. Great burger. Fries have salt and pepper and possibly some cheese. Very tasty. Everything we have had here, over a period of a few years, has been good. Service is good. What’s not to like?

Horrible experience here. Great options listed, but not only did my food arrive on a dirty plate (old ketchup), it was cold, AND my child with celiac was glutened by their grilled cheese. They tried to rectify it with comping our dinner, but the damage was done. Will not be going back.

Amazing food, I wasn’t expecting there to be that many gluten free options but I got tater tots and an amazing salad with steak. They even have dessert options like cheesecake that are gluten free. No reaction to any of the food and the service was amazing.

I’m not sure how I first heard of Red Heat. What I did hear was that the owner has a niece that has Celiac and he wanted her to have a safe place where she could eat everything on the menu. I’m not sure if this is the accurate story but I decided to try it and I was pleasantly surprised that everything on the menu can be prepared gluten free! I have eaten there many times and have never been sick! I have had the fish and chips and it is delicious. I’ve had the burgers and again, great. One of my favorite things is the Asian salad with crispy chicken! I order that quite frequently. I have recommended Red Heat to several folks and they loved it and keep coming back! They drive up from Waltham to eat there and are quite pleased that Kimbles is right down the road so they usually pick up ice cream for the ride home!!

These folks are so awesome asking the right questions and guiding a large party with mixed gluten sensitivities!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I usually visit the location in Westborough but was in the area! I love that anything on the menu can be made gluten free and how knowledgable the staff is about food allergies. Food is served on a red plate to notify of an allergy and is usually brought to the table by a manager. If you have a sweet tooth, make sure to try to desserts! They are delicious.

I will simply agree with the other reviews here. Love and trust Burtons, but this menu is a bit more casual (maybe even more fun) and prices very reasonable. Great, safe place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tried the new Red Heat part of Burtons.. very ceiliac friendly. Everything on the menu is GF.. I enjoyed the GF chicken fingers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Owner has celiac. Wings absolutely scrumptious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love how they serve my food on a red plate

Same owner as Burton’s Bar and Grill (who has celiac). Everything except the pretzels are gluten free or can be made gluten free. Staff is very knowledgable. Gluten free items served on red plates.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF restaurant in eastern MA - wish their was a location closer to Norwood. Almost everything on their menu is GF and delicious. The macaroni and cheese with pulled pork is ridiculously good. Dedicated fryolator so all fried food is GF. My only complaint is the beer. Used to have Glutenberg (best GF beer available) and now have a beer called Celia - not as good. I've been there about 20 times and never got sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pretty much everything on the menu can be made gluten free, staff is knowledgeable. Good comfort type of food in a relaxing setting.

Almost 100% of menu is gluten free. Have celiac disease and have tried many different things and have never gotten sick. Have great GF options for keep safe too!

I am often sick here and found it is they use only Soy oil. (Soy is naturally contaminated with wheat during growing).

excellent GF menu!! ALL MENU ITEMS GF except a pretzel! Celiac owner. Had breaded fried chicken breasts w mashed and gravy, sweet potato fries, cheesecake - all fresh & GF - ******AWESOME FIND!!!****

Hands down the best GF restaurant around. Anything on the menu can be made GF!!!!!

Love this place! It's owned by the same parent company as Burton's grill and one of their executives has Celiac. So, I felt comfortable going in and ordering (I have Celiac). We had the giant Tater Tots both times and they are fried in a dedicated fryalator. I have tried the steak tips and burgers too- all so good. The manager brings out the GF food on a different colored plate and the servers were really attentive. My husband, who doesn't have any food intolerances, raves about it too! I live about 30-40 mins away and it's with the drive every time.

I love this place. Great food. Great Atmosphere. You know it's gluten free because the food is on a different colored plate (red atm). The Thai chicken wings, fried pickles, and pretty much everything else is top notch bar fair.

Everything on the menu can be made gluten free! The GF fried pickles were awesome. The pickles were sweet and crispy with a little bite. I had the GF veggie mac and cheese which was good but a little rich. I also had the GF cheesecake. The pickles were my favorite. I gave the High rating because of how understanding about Celiac Disease they are and the strict attention they gave to taking care of me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Will make just about anything on menu GF Great vegetarian options friendly staff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF bun I've ever had! I also got to enjoy gluten free fried calamari. On the menu it says "all items can be made gluten free" I don't think I've ever been so happy with a restaurant! I heard through the grapevine (and this app lol) that the owner is either gluten sensitive or has celiac disease. I have celiac disease and didn't feel awful like I typically do if there's any cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It was tasty. Seems to be a more "fried" food type place. My kids loved it!

This place is off the charts! Owner has celiac and staff is extremely well trained and knowledgeable. Any item with the exception of corn bread can be made gluten free. This is the same owner as the Burtons chain. Got the rib and tip combo and it was amazing!

Everything on the menu can be made gluten free (besides the cornbread). I asked about the cooking procedure and they use corn flour to eliminate the chance of cross contamination. Food was delicious as well!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food and menu choices! Tried the GF fried cheese curds and Reuben w/ fries, and all were delicious. This restaurant group knows what they're doing. My new local favorite.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Been here a few times and love the huge GF menu. Try the tater tots -- you won't be disappointed!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Red Heat is owned by the same group that brought us Burton's. One of the owners has celiac so they do it right. All items either are or can be made GF except the corn bread. They don't even have flour on the premises to alleviate cross contamination concerns. We have already eaten there many times and have thoroughly enjoyed it with no concerns

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome place whole entire menu is gluten-free they have gluten free buns. The only item not gluten free is there corn bread. Good prices too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing finding this new restaurant in Bedford. The whole menu, I repeat, the whole menu could be gluten free, even the kids menu. Our server was very knowledgeable. Perfect experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very accommodating to GF and other allergies. Even has separate cooking equipment for GF. Owners have a daughter with celiac.

Always good food we always go here. I get chicken tenders, and the menu is basically all gluten free except 2-3 things. GF food is surved on red plates if you get a non red plate send it back.

The server came over 15 minutes after we order our food and told us that I am chicken tenders would not be allergy free and safe so we decided to go with french fries as an appetizer and we’re still waiting 15 minutes for a side order of french fries the service is extremely slow I can’t wait to get our food I’m sure we’ll have to wait another 40 minutes
