T-Rex

I let the waitress know I was gf and she had a chef come to my table to take my order. He asked, “What are you looking at and I’ll tell you how we can make it gluten free.” I ordered the queso, Shrimp Alfredo, and Cherry Limeade. The chef suggested potato chips as a substitute to tortilla chips to avoid cc. I’m intolerant/sensitive so cc doesn’t affect me as severely. I was not affected by the tortilla chips at all. The shrimp Alfredo came with gf pasta and the chef explained that he could make Alfredo sauce with cream, butter, and cheese, fully omitting any flour. He asked if that sounded good to me. I really appreciated how they asked if things sounded good rather than staying that something was just going to be this way or that. I felt very understood and safe. I wanted the dessert but was completely full by the meal I already had. To finish off, the Cherry limeade came in a special souvenir cup. I figured it would be expensive and only come with the single serving, but I was surprised to get multiple refills included in the $9 price! Also to note, someone from the kitchen brought my food out separately from my boyfriend’s order, which was definitely not gf, adding to me being more impressed with their precaution and attention to my needs.

Actually impressed....told bartender I was GF (didn't want to wait for a table) and he sent a manager out to go over all their options and make suggestions. I did the rotisserie chicken dinner and it was really good. It came with red skinned mashed potatoes and veggies. Came a second time and the same scenario with a Manager happened. I didn't get sick and trusted the recommendations especially when asked about cross contamination.

My daughter and I (both celiac) enjoyed our food and felt great afterward. Manager came over to talk through all options and make sure our order was marked as allergy for kitchen staff Loved that my picky daughter could get GF noodles cooked separately with no cross contamination. I had the rotisserie chicken.

Most of the menu (even the rice and corn-based dishes) are out because of cross contamination. I had to wait for a manager to order and then the server and manager wrote down two different orders. After being seated for an hour, we are all still waiting for food.

There are no GF markers on the menu however the waitstaff is well aware of what items are available to be made GF. I ordered the Triassic Trio; a lot of food! Food was brought out separately and the chef was alerted to the allergy concerns.

Amazing service! The chef came and spoke to us directly and was incredibly kind and accommodating. I really wanted nachos but their tortilla chips were not gf so he made me nachos with safe for me potato chips! It was also my birthday and they brought me a dessert specific for my needs.

Chef came and talked to us. They did have gluten free buns, but fell apart. It needed toasted. Cant have their fries, they are coated. Mashed potatoes were ok. Friendly staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

staff was pretty knowledgeable about gluten free options but there isn’t a very extensive menu. no dedicated fryer and all nachos come w/ potato chips instead tortilla chips

Have two daughters with celiac and menu choices were very limited. Have nachos on menue but they dont have nacho chips. Would not recomend for people with ceiliac

We have been several times. The chef comes to talk to you. This time the chef kept talking on his headset and barely told me what to eat and wanted me to order so fast. If I hadn't been here before I wouldn't know what to get. I also have a pepper allergy and my food was definitely peppered (luckily not anaphylactic- just burns my lips and need a benadryl). A friend with a severe dairy allergy came here 2 days ago and had to use 2 epi-pens. Not sure what is going on here now...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a great restaurant. Fun to eat at as well. Waitress are great!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef Jose V. came to our table and walked me through the menu about things he came make gluten free. Lots of options & super helpful! Knew lots about celiac disease and other dietary restrictions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

5 stars because of the atmosphere. My kids loved it! The allergen chef was helpful and the GF food was okay. I would only go here again if my kids requested it.

Do not eat here!! Our waitress had a chef come out, he told us the nachos he could make gluten free he would just change out the nacho chips to regular potato chips we said ok... some other man brings out a plate of nachos I said are these gluten free for told us... I start eating them... 5 minutes later the chef comes out with the gluten free nachos 🤦‍♀... then we get told the frys are gluten free from the manager.... minutes later the head chef comes out and tell us they are not gluten free. I would never ever go back here again..... let’s just say I am sick as ever right now from this place.

Celiac friendly?

No

The 'allergen chef' comes to the table and explains what can he made gluten free. Very friendly and educated.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free vegetarian pasta primavera! Tell them you are GF. They will bring the chef to talk to you and plan whatever you want.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Brought my son regular pasta, I asked if it was GF, they told me no and they would take it back. Brought same plate back out and asked if he was gluten “sensitive”? I said no he’s a celiac. Food was remade.

Celiac friendly?

No

Chef comes out to take your order, food was great and service too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chef came out to see me and personally take my order. She was able to modify most of the items on the menu that I was looking at (burgers). Then later they took the extra time to make sure my burger was GF. The only downside was not being able to get fries, but they had really good mashed potatoes instead. If shopping at Disney Springs again, they would be my top pick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef came out to discuss my options. I told him what I would like and he recommended modifications. Did not get sick:)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Probably one of the most allergy-accommodating restaurants I’ve ever been to. The chef came out and talked to everyone with food allergies (three of us total) and we all got food we loved. No bad reactions and we all had a lot of fun.

Knowledgeable chef staff and had a couple appetizing options for GF. Mashed potatoes and ribs were good.

Celiac friendly?

Very sensitive Celiac. It was amazing!!! When I mentioned gluten/Celiac, the server immediately sent out the chef to advise me and take my order. They were so confident and knowledgeable. My dinner was fantastic!!! And...no reaction at all!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The service is always great and the chef personally comes out and walks me through the options I can have with celiac. The chef then brings the food out separately in order to make sure that there is no cross contamination. Plus my kids love the place so I get good food that’s gluten free and my kids are entertained at the same time.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Took our son to T-Rex cafe and he loved it. Chef came out to our table and quickly showed the GF options and there were many to choose from. Food was decent.

Great kid friendly option. They were very busy yet went above and beyond. the food was delicious! I had their guac burger with GF bun which is the best I've ever had and my son had GF pasta which was terrific. highly recommend with kids.

We are here multiple times. Every time the waiter/waitress said they were not allowed to take my daughters order(celiac) The chef came out every time and wrote it down. Great service and very friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My two celiac kids ordered gluten free pasta. When it came it had bread on it that did not look gluten free. When I asked they said sorry it is not gf bread!!!! Had I not asked we would have had a terrible cross contamination issue. They rushed to remake the pasta and the noodles came out hard. Beware and be careful.

Food was celiac safe with GF buns. No dedicated fryer. Waited 20 minutes to talk to a chef who acted very annoyed and like he was too busy for our questions. We had reservations for a second night which we canceled due to the way we were treated. Didn't get sick and atmosphere is really cool but do not recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef comes right to your table for the order. Tell them Celiac & they are so attentive! Excellent service and great food! My kids & husband loved it too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We went here because it was 100% rated in this app and we were traveling and wanted to play it safe... the first visit went really well and instilled a lot of confidence... so on our last day of the trip, I decided to play it safe again and eat hear so I would not be sick for my 11 hour car trip home... well, fortunately my meal was fine, but unfortunately, they served my daughter regularly pizza... I had noticed that it looked different and even had them double check before letting my. celiac daughter eat it... (I figured maybe they switched bread brands, but I was also concerned because to prevent my 1yo son from being covered in gluten, we ordered him gluten free mac and cheese... and my wife said it tasted too good to be gf...) Anyway, the waitress checked and said that it was fine, but as soon as my daughter took a bite, she ran out and said that now she is being told otherwise.... While the management handled it reasonably well, and even had paramedics called in (as it was ordered off the allergen menu), if they made this mistake for someone who hadn't eaten there before, there would be much worse consequences... because they wouldn't have known... they even said allergy when they placed her plate on the table... we're still waiting to see how much she actually ate, and whether it was enough to get her to vomit, or just enough to get her to be devil child for 11 hours in the car... don't want to get in the car until we know the extent...

Celiac friendly?

WONDERFUL!! The buns are awesome, they have gluten free pasta too. The chef comes out and tells you EXACTLY what you can and cannot have. Plenty of options and OH EM GEE the food is delicious. Get the mashed potatoes, the chicken sandwich or the prehistoric pasta!

Just ate here and so far my favorite meal in Disney. Chef came out to go over what I could have and what my son could order from the kids menu. Delicious Mac n cheese for my son, cheese burger for my other peanut allergic son (could get GF buns) I had the meat trio-steak, scallops in a chimichurro sauce and shrimp and rice pilaf. Chef brought out the allergy meals as well. All portion sizes at the table were huge. We could have split the entrees.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

As local Orlando residents, my 11-year old Celiac son and I have eaten here dozens of times without any contamination issues. (And I'm super sensitive!) Just tell your server you have "food allergies" at the table and they'll bring a chef out. They're all very knowledgable about Celiac and gluten and can help you find a meal you'll enjoy. I LOVE the GF Omnivore Salad and our son loves the ribs. Dryer is not dedicated - no fried foods here. Great Celiac family place to safely eat at Downtown Disney Springs!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Way too busy & the prices are ridiculous!

We were sat and a good 15 minutes went by, no one even came to acknowledge us at our table. So we of course got up and left.

Chef came out and went over menu and took my order. The wait staff and manager were great.

Great staff and delicious food - especially if you love dinosaurs as much as me!!! The chef will come out and speak with you - no fried foods, no stuffed food which is already pre-made, they have GF hamburger buns and pasta. I had the burger with guacamole and bacon, so darn tasty!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was great, chef knowledgeable and explained what and how it is cooked.

We had a great experience at T-Rex! The Chef came to our table and helped us chose meals for our girls. He then went back to the kitchen, prepared them, and personally delivered them to our table. It's really loud in there, but worth it to keep our kiddos safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They don't have a gluten-free menu, but the chef will come over and walk you through your options on their menu. They have gluten-free pasta, and it was pretty good. Not overcooked like most places do. My only complaint was the chef ran me through the menu really fast and seemed in a hurry, which was rude.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

the best GF dinner I had at Disney. Chef made amazing pasta w same sauce as mushroom ravioli I was pining for. Delish GF cheesecake w crust!

an update review.....the last review left me certain that this was a risk but we tried it. The chef came out and personally took my celiac daughters order on a bright pink slip, then our waiter came back for the rest of the family. The chef gave us about 15 options. On a side note they also unlocked the dino dig area for my five year old even though it was closed because we got there at 740 and they closed at 8. They went out of their way, provided excellent service, and my daughter did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chef came out and made suggestions. my husband ordered the exact same thing. waiters couldn't figure out which was GF or not. I was sick on way home. won't be going back. Not CD friendly.
