Ted's Montana Grill

I ordered a burger from the gluten-free menu, but asked for no bun. It was served with fries which I was told were gluten-free. I had a reaction that I associate with cross-contact. It's probably fine for those following a paleo diet, but not for gluten-intolerant or celiac diners.

Last 2 times I got very sick on top of slow service. Tonight after saying I had celiac my meal came out with a regular bun.

I absolutely love it here. They have the best gf French fries and burgers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I don't write reviews but here goes...most horrible experience for a celiac at Ted's - ordered a cocktail that on the menu which listed Tito's vodka- I watched the bartender pour Kettle One - I asked her when she put it in front of me if it was Tito's and she said no - I gave you an upgrade...I told her I had Celiac and ordered the advertised drink because it listed Tito's as the vodka- she gave me a dirty look and said I guess I can make you a new one... Had I not seen her I would be sick.... We then were seated and I spoke extensively with the waiter about my gluten issues and cross contamination - ordered my salad from the gluten free menu with a bison burger on top...when it was served I took a bite of the burger and then noticed the salad under it was covered in croutons and I was shocked. I asked to send it back and the waiter said sorry and returned within 1 min- same burger (with my bite missing) and salad- they took the croutons off!!!! What??? I have celiac! I'm not on a fad diet - cross contamination is very dangerous to me and will make me sick for days/weeks and wreaks havoc on my body and damages my organs! Don't claim to be gluten free and not know what it means or not train your kitchen or staff! If someone had an allergy to peanuts and they were served food with peanuts it in it and the person went into anaphylactic shock and died - legal action might make Ted's think twice about how to seriously accommodate dietary requirements- I don't mind going out and having limited options with my dietary needs but do have a problem with it not being taken seriously- will NOT be back- P.S. had to give one star because it would not let me submit- I would give it no stars if that were an option...FYI TED- fix it!

Celiac friendly?

No

Great salmon & sirloin. Very accommodating.

I have never been dissappointed at Ted's. The cedar plank salmon is my favorite and the family enjoy's the prime rib.

They take good care of you if you are gluten free. They have a great gluten free menu to choose from which is available on their web site. We will be returning to Ted's in Lakewood, CO this weekend for a birthday dinner, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate.

Great bison burger and have never had issue with gluten after visiting a couple different locations. Management and front end staff generally very knowledgeable about allergies but what you see in open kitchen might leave you a little less comfortable. Either way food is way better than Ted turners politics!

UPDATED 04/23/22 - my original review is below, but the last 2 times I visited this location they have cross-contaminated my food. Today they brought my food to the table with glutened onion rings on top of my meal. It is disappointing that a restaurant I've trusted for years has made dangerous errors on all my last visits. When I asked for the food to be redone, the manager has not yet come out to apologize. This is happening now.

They have a gluten free menu and a dedicated fryer. I come in at least once a week for a delicious burger and fries. The service is friendly and the food is not only tasty, but celiac safe!

Great separate gluten free menu. Separate friers for French fries and chips. GF Buns for burger. Cross contamination has never been an issue. Waiters and kitchen staff knowledgeable on gluten free dining and celiac.

The server was very knowledgeable about GF options. I had the bison filet/fries and a shrimp appetizer. They substituted the bread on the app for some salad with dressing already on it. I didn’t know the ingredients in the dressing, but tried it anyway & no reactions. Delicious meal & no reactions after. It’s a bit pricey, but will be going back!
