Review of Tasty Biscuit

As of Sunday morning, 2/6/2022, Tasty Biscuit in Bolingbrook has a dedicated Gluten-Free menu. Initially, I was impressed, and after seeing it online, was inspired to give this place a try. You have to ask for the menu, otherwise generic upcharges are listed on their normal menu for GF pancakes and French toast within those menu categories.

Celiac patients, beware! I almost ordered the Gluten Free French toast from their dedicated Gluten Free menu that was brought to me, but asked first if it was prepared on a separate cooking surface. Our server kindly went to ask in the kitchen and returned informing me it is not. Upon checking out, I asked a couple management members standing up front if entrees from their Gluten-Free menu are prepared/cooked on a dedicated cooking surface. I was told “no.” The alternative was that they could wipe it down.

Nonetheless, Tasty Biscuit caters to their restaurant patrons who have a Gluten Free “preference,” but not to those who have celiac disease and/or concern for cross-contamination. Offering a dedicated menu is a a little misleading, in my opinion. Generic disclosure on your normal menu that you have GF options for an add’l up charge should be suffice for those who just have a GF preference.
