Smith Alley Brewing Company

Visited because of earlier reviews, but new menu (Apr 2024) is a lot less clear than before about GF. GF not listed on menu. Server clarified that deep fried items are all in a GF fryer. But they were a little unclear on what menu items were safe. I had fried pickles (a new experience for this European visitor) and a burger. No ill effects afterward but you should check everything.

Clearly marked menu. Great vibe. And all dedicated GF fryers. They even have freckles! GF buns are not extra charge and the feel just from the menu makes you feel like it isn't a pain at all, which is nice. Food was very good, drinks were delicious.

Everything fried is gluten free and GF bread/buns no additional charge. The tater tots are amazing! Very cute brewery and staff is very helpful and friendly. Didn’t have a beer, but the margarita I had was great. Highly recommend.

Awesome meal. We both got burgers with GF buns. Mushroom and swiss for him and SA burger for me. Very yummy homemade SA BBQ sauce with huge bacon made a delicious burger. We both had tots which were very crispy and good. If we are ever here again we will be back. Nobody got sick. Wonderful dinner!

Dined here twice during my stay in Sheridan. Had wings with buffalo sauce and shared a side of fries with my traveling companion - all gluten-free for dinner. The waiter double-checked on everything, the wings, the sauce and the fries. Next day for lunch had a cheeseburger with fries, again all gluten-free. GF bun crumbled a little, but it was the best burger I’ve had in quite some time. Fries were excellent and abundant! Highly recommend!

Menu states to ask about gluten free options.

I had a burger with GF bun, fried pickles (dedicated fryer and great taste) and Blueberry seltzer. All were great and I had no reaction. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Waitress mentioned owners were celiac and very vested in the restaurant. Only short coming was no gluten free beer but, again, the seltzer was great (and gluten free).

Great wings, chicken strips and gluten free buns. It was a treat to get fried pickles and the fryer is dedicated gluten free. Very happy with the food.

Our waiter was not very knowledgeable. She also was not willing to ask the cook or manager. We ordered 4 different appetizers; fries, vegetables, tater tot nachos, and chips and queso. The food was very good and it did not take that long to come out. All fried items in the restaurant are fried in a dedicated gluten free fryer.

Had the wings, fried green tomatoes, and fried pickles! Everything was really good and the service was nice too. It’s a beautiful setting to stop for lunch, and the outdoor seating was perfect.

All fried food is gluten free in dedicated fryer. My celiac son had fried pickles for the first time, and had options of chicken fingers and mac and cheese, plus could get most burgers or sandwiches on a gluten free bun. Knowledgeable staff. Great outdoor seating.

This is my first review on FMGF even though I am an avid user on the app. While making a stop through Sheridan today on a road trip, we thought we’d ask about their GF protocol just to see if it was an option (usually I just bring my (celiac) son’s food in if I am uncomfortable)-! We were greeted by the hostess who was lovely, she had multiple severe allergies herself and said she trusted the kitchen with preparing her food. After being seated we saw the menu which stated that all of the food that went into the fryer was GF! Even fried pickles had GF breading! So while there is no ‘dedicated fryer’ there is no gluten items used in the fryer (win!)! The kitchen chef came out to explain their GF items and protocol and was very kind, knowledgeable and friendly despite being busy. The food was excellent. My son THOROUGHLY enjoyed his GF cheeseburger with bacon and fries....and said it was an awesome bun. We were able to enjoy GF appetizers for the table as well and the wings were delish-! The gluten eaters also thought the food was very good (best French Dip I’ve had in a long time!). When paying, we ended up meeting one of the owners who told us her husband was gluten intolerant and that’s why there was so much attention given to GF there. EVERYONE was so friendly, including another waiter(?) buser(?) who gave our dog a water bowl while we ate. The restaurant itself has a very cool vibe and if we lived near it, we would be consistent customers! Thank you Smith Alley for making our day and meal so great! 10stars!:) PS: kids meals come with a ‘dirt cup’ which is chocolate pudding with Oreos and gummy worms...they are trying to get the GFOreos through their supplier to make GF ones for the GF kiddos! Gummy worms and pudding on their own were already GF-:)
