Review of Rustic Inn Cafe

There were very few GF options available. We were seated outside and had the "patio" menu. The menu had no indication of which items were gluten free and which were not. The server had no specific recommendations for safe menu items. She did tell us that the fryer is not dedicated and the indicated that cross-contamination would almost certainly occur on the grill. Tacos could not be made GF (no corn tortillas available), and apparently even the chili was not GF. This left very few safe choices. Kids' menu had almost no options. My daughter ended up having the hot beef sandwich without a bun and without gravy--essentially just a pile of lukewarm beef and some french fries. The adult in our party who needs to eat GF ended up with a chopped salad. We had high hopes for this place after reading other reviews. It seems like a great restaurant, just not if you need to eat GF.

(There are 2 GF pie options on the menu, but we did not feel safe trying them.)
