Tender Greens

Don’t go to this place! They have no idea about preparing gluten free food. They put everything including the bread on the same grill next to each other…

I was really excited to try this place. However, I never got past the ordering phase. After 3 nebulous and frustrating conversations with the cashier, the chef, and the kitchen manager, it was clear to me that they had no idea what ingredients contain gluten and no idea what was in their food. It was upsetting, and I left so disappointed. I would rate them a zero if I could.

Celiac friendly?

No

While they have lots of GF options, and they mark the order with an allergy alert, the line isn’t very good about changing gloves and there is a risk of cross-contamination from the meat slicer as they also handle and cut the sandwiches

Celiac friendly?

No

I've eaten at other Tender Green locations and have yet to get sick so was very excited when this restaurant opened in the South Bay. Fresh food and knowledgeable staff, although not a gluten-free facility, they will help in selecting items on their menu that is gluten free. Delicious!

Celiac friendly?

No

Food was great with ton of gluten free options! Just make sure to say to NOT include the side of bread on your plate! They made that mistake with me after asking for no bread, and made my plate again!

Salad/bowl place that has gluten free options marked as well as markings for vegan, nuts, and raw for people looking for different things. They were knowledgeable about the food and were able to answer questions - but there is bread everywhere so there is a risk of cross contamination *make sure to mention you don’t want the bread included

• Good for dairy-free

This place is terrible. Other items on their menu are incredibly confusing, and the staff has no idea what gluten is. I kept telling me I couldn’t have potatoes

The staff were knowledgeable about what was gf and helped walk me through their cross contamination protocol. They also mark it as an allergy in their system and change their gloves. I ended up getting a bowl of soup as it seemed like the least amount of risk and it was really yummy!

Great place for fresh delicious meals and very accommodating. Most of the menu is gf - yay! When my 2 kiddos ordered dinner we didn’t specify their celiac bc everything they ordered was labeled as gf. However, they don’t tell you that they throw a piece of bread on top. Ugh. They were super accommodating and prepared them fresh plates. So - just be sure to tell them about your allergy. Everything was super tasty.
