Ted's Montana Grill

This was a great find for a family dinner after the RV show in Hartford! They have dedicated fryers here as well as GF rolls. Everything was delicious! I do not have Celiac so I cannot say for sure about cross contamination in the kitchen, but I do appreciate the dedicated fryer. Wait for food a little lengthier than we felt should have been for burgers at 5:00 on a Saturday night when it wasn’t that busy yet. Waitress was not that attentive. But overall experience was good and food was all excellent!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Smallest GF menu in the world. I would rather stay home than try and order here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went here with a few friends for dinner. Was handed GF menu and assured that every item on the menu was prepared in a distinct GF environment including the fried items (chips and fries). Ate the Big Sky salad and had the homemade chips, all off the GF menu. Half hour later, sicker than a dog. Would not recommend, there is definetly a lack of communication between waiters and cooks, or maybe they just don't care about cross contamination... Disappointing after thinking I finally found a place that ensured food and fried food was celiac friendly on Front street in Hartford.

I never had any issues with the GF options giving me any reaction. Their bison burgers are always excellent, and the cucumbers are delicious.

Dang, did my research and I got burned.

Though I had expected it to be slow, this place was pretty busy at 1pm on a Friday from graduation parties, and short staffed b/c one server hadn’t come in.

They gave me a gluten free menu, which is normally a very good sign that a resultant cares. I ordered and was very clear that it was an allergy and not a preference.

I got the “Avalon” bison burger (dressed with various cheeses and onions fried in bacon grease) with gluten free bun and fries. I ate the fries first (they have a dedicated fryer) and felt okay, ate the burger and then got rather ill.

I suspect there was cross contamination with the bun, which was toasted. The server said they had a dedicated toaster, but I suspect that someone forgot to change gloves when collecting the buns or something happened with the onions.

I’m quite sensitive, steer clear of this place if you are too.

They were AMAZING! When we were seated we asked for a gf menu. Our waitress made it a point to ask if we were gf for health reasons or by choice. It was nice! Usually people assume it's by choice, but she made sure to make sure everything was separated out because of my celiac disease! They were even very attentive for being so busy! Definitely will be back!
