The owners son has celiac so this is a good choice if you are celiac. My daughter is celiac and I am intolerant. If you are intolerant you can have the GF pizza which o did. The dough is very good, not dense or like a cracker. My daughter had nachos and I tried them and they were very good. Lots of choices for a celiac. I would recommend this restaurant.

This place is great! Definitely our new favourite pizza place for celiacs and non celiacs alike! The gf crust is some of the best I’ve had, in a dedicated pizza oven - how cool!

Dedicated GF fryer but warned that its right next to the regular fryer so a cc risk.

Called the manager ahead of time and he was helpful, so was the server. I’m newly diagnosed so I don’t have much to compare to.

Had the poke bowl without fried onions and a modified sauce. I’m asymptomatic so hard to tell if there was any cc.

Confirmed I was Celiac 2x then ordered a gf pizza. Confirmed cost for gf crust.

Wrong pizza is delivered and food runner said it was gf. I noticed it looked too good to be true.

Signaled server over who took it back to the kitchen to confirm and yes it was not gf.

Offered a ‘free dessert’ and the option to talk to the manager.

0 stars. Will not be visiting any tap and barrel again. Anyone new to celiac or allergy would have been very sick.

Are here as part of a large group with shared applies. Dedicated fryer for all the favorites. Staff were extremely attentive and told me about each dish that came out, what was / wasn’t safe to eat.

Eaten here a couple times. The first time I ordered directly from the manager. She was awesome, walked me through the whole menu. Cautioned me against the pizzas (think GF is available, but she was concerned about the CC risk there). Basically left me with grilled meats and salads. Feel confident they can offer a safe meal, but choice was quite limited.

Great GF options. Not a dedicated gf kitchen. Cross contamination. My celiac daughter swears they have the best gf pizza!

Good gluten free options as long as you can handle a little cross contamination. They are knowledgeable about Celiac and gluten allergies so they can give you good options from the menu.

There are lots of GF options here. I had a pizza, which was delicious. They won’t, of course guarantee no cross, but I felt as safe as I could, I guess in a mixed kitchen.

I told them I was celiac and they accidentally brought me a regular bun on my burger. I recognized it and actually didn’t get sick when they brought me the GF one. Still wouldn’t go here though just in case.

Only 1 review but it was good so thought we would try it out. Some options for gf (maybe my server just didn’t know or didn’t know how to make me feel confident) and if you have any other allergy you are pretty much outta luck. Ordered my spouse food and I’ll be leaving hungry.

Staff took extra precautions when determine if food was safe for celiacs. They have a dedicated fryer for gluten free deep fry. Have Glutenberg in a can for beer drinkers.
