Review of Smith Alley Brewing Company

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-:)
