Review of Sprecher's Restaurant & Pub

I was a bit concerned immediately upon reading the gluten free menu the hostess provided. It had many options of "order this and make sure to substitute this". The menu also emphasized that the items were gluten free but prepared in a gluten environment. We sat down to eat and informed the server my son has celiac. He did know that meant gluten free. When I quizzed him on the preparation area (separate pans, area on the grill, care to avoid cross contamination, etc) he said nothing was really separate. I informed him that cooking gluten free items on top of gluten items could make our son very sick and he basically said we would be taking a risk. I chose to leave with my son and leave the rest of our family there. It wasn't worth the risk to me. I'm surprised so many people said this place was celiac friendly. Luckily my son (2 yrs old and only diagnosed for 4 months) was very good about coming back to the condo for leftovers while his siblings got to stay and eat. I wish people would really take the time to write more accurate reviews so we weren't faced with this situation. If you choose to eat in a place like this and don't get sick, I'm happy for you, but I still wouldn't label it as celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

No
