Staff was very uneducated. I asked for a gluten free menu and got told “Meh this is very outdated do you want a regular menu to try and figure out what you can eat?” Had a reaction.

This is my 2nd time there, and it was worse than the first. Last time I had a GF bun. The menu said they don't have buns anymore. I ordered a half rack of ribs, which was good. I asked the server if the fries and coleslaw were GF. She said "obviously the fries are because it's a starch" and then she said "but everything is cooked with everything" so it truly is gluten sensitive and not GF. As a celiac, that made me feel like I couldn't have anything there...and just because it's a starch doesn't mean it's GF...the seasoning on the fries could be troublesome.

I don't trust the servers, and the GF menu has become GS, and they have fewer options, and they don't pay much attention to CC.

I won't be going there again or to any other TGIFs in the country.

2 stars instead of 1 because the food tasted good and I didn't get sick, luckily. But I'd be rolling the dice by going back.

Their gluten sensitive menu just came out in the past couple of weeks. I had the Jack Daniel's burger for dinner with mashed potatoes and asked that I have the gluten free bun instead of the regular. From what I have found Jack Daniel's sauce is pretty much gluten free from what people have found. I didn't have any reactions with my sensitivity. They have on the regular menu a symbol for the gluten free items but you can ask for their gluten sensitive menu as well which makes it easier to find the gluten free meals at a glance instead of hunting them down on the bigger menu.

I did the TGI Fridays To Go location at DFW gate B9. They have GF items marked on menu and were helpful. The fries are NOT in a dedicated fryer. I got the cheeseburger with an Udi's bun (no upcharge-nice), and they let me sub a bag of Lay's chips for the fries.

The bartender waited on us and was knowledgeable. They had GF rolls and the hamburger was GF. In addition they carry Omission IPA gluten reduced beer.

No gluten free menu even though other TGIFs have one. They have gluten free buns which they can put any burger on. The waitress was quite helpful and explained the chicken is okay, but the beef burgers are not GF because they all have fillers in them. The fries are also not GF as they coat them in flour.

The GF bun appeared to be Udi's brand. It was good and I didn't get sick. The items that are available for gluten sensitive people are marked on the menu.

I ordered a Cobb salad with salmon, which tasted great and gave me no problems. I informed our server about GF and she told us the kitchen staff had changed gloves for us. I would feel confident about eating here again.
