T.G.I. Friday's

Celiac friendly?

No

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was amazing had a dedicated gluten free menu and made the cooks change there gloves after I ate the waiter asked if I had any reactions to make sure they changed there gloves and it was good service no reaction I had the grilled chicken Cesar salad

Celiac friendly?

No

Waitress: “The gluten is burned off during cooking.” We left while she was getting our drinks.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a very limited gf menu. Brought the wrong entree full pasta to me and didn’t apologize. Just took it back and I waited another half hour for the correct dinner. Our last experience at TGI Friday’s in Monroeville was so horrible we don’t plan to ever go back. From being overlooked when needing to be seated to unacceptable wait time once seated to even order to a clueless waitress and long delay in replacing my meal. The atmosphere is one of a noisy cafeteria. A most unpleasant aura.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a dedicated gluten-free menu with lots of items... salads, burgers, fish, beverages, etc. There is still the caveat about the kitchen handling gluten, though.

Celiac friendly?

No

our waiter didn’t know what gluten was, so he gave us a bun with gluten. luckily my mom was able to see it was not the bun we ordered, but we were not refunded or even offered another burger with an alternative bun.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate GF menu. Their staff was friendly about my restrictions. There are GF buns for burgers. Decent options for airport food. The Cobb salad was pretty good size.

Separate gluten free menu including a kids menu. Buns for burgers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was wary of eating here, especially at a busy dinner time, but the waitress reassured me that she would make sure the kitchen met my needs. I requested they clean the cook space and use new utensils and gloves. No reaction! I had the American burger “greens style” and a side of broccoli.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the burger on a GF bun and it was my best meal of this trip!

Celiac friendly?

No

I came during rush hour and ordered my meal to-go from the bar. Most of the staff were more interested in each other than customer service. I ordered the burger with bacon, cheese, and egg. They did not seem understaffed but unprofessional. The burger came out in shambles and they did not include utensils for the mashed potatoes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nov 19, 2019. Ate lunch here. They offer gluten-sensitive menu for adults and children.

Celiac friendly?

No

I got really excited that they had a gf bun for the burger, and it was really good. However, I started getting sick very soon after eating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered a cheeseburger with a gluten free bun. It was delicious.

There on the go shop outside of the restaurant had a few different salad choices that clearly labeled the ingredients. It made it really easy to find something health to eat quickly during a short layover. The salads are quite large, and you get a few choices of dressing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waitress immediately asked I was “gluten friendly or celiac.” She then got the manager to ensure I could have something safe. She helped explain to him what I needed. He went and made my breakfast and carried it out. It might not be the most nutritionally balances but fruit and bacon work for me!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu, had the shrimp and chicken and it was great!

I had an amazing burger and mashed potatoes 🙌🏼 better than the bell tower location.

Some options marked on the menu and a separate menu.

Celiac friendly?

No

Worst experience ever!! When I arrived I got offered the gluten free menu, sadly on the menu it said only allergen sensitivities. I ordered a gluten free burger and when it came it did not look gluten free, so my sister tried it first saying it tasted gluten free. So I ate it then I realized it was not gluten free and am now I am sick!! So thanks TGI Friday’s for poisoning me!

Despite telling them I was allergic to gluten and needed a salad without the croutons and breadstick in the menu description, I was served a Caesar that was quite literally topped with spoonfuls of breadcrumbs. On top of that, my “filet mignon” was fatty and tough.

Crappy service! Cold food. Some GF options. We waited an hour for food and so did others around us. It wasn’t even busy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered carry out. Plain hamburger on GF bun, loaded mashed potatoes, and side salad w/o croutons or breadstick. Kitchen was very slow but they got my order right, had their GF menu online (Including sides and salad dressings), and I had no problems after eating.

Celiac friendly?

No

Spent the second night of my honeymoon in the bathroom thanks to TGIs! Specified gluten free on arrival and was shown the gluten free menu, then despite several conversations with the waitress regarding the best gluten free meal choices I was still sadly glutened. Needless to say I won’t be returning to any branch (this is the second branch this has happened to me in) and would strongly advise anyone visiting ask to speak to the manager before placing an order.

Basically, your options for a side is a salad. For which, they upcharge you $1.99.

Was so excited to actually eat a meal at an airport and not just survive on snacks! Had the veggie burger (this is usually hard to find, since most are held together with some sort of gluten binder) on a gluten free bun! Lettuce. Tomato, red onion and pickle! It was bigger than my husband's beef burger and so delicious! Side of broccoli since the fries were not in a dedicated fryer. I made sure to explain prep to waitress, she was awesome! They had to have been careful because I didn't have any reaction what so ever. I do IF and usually fast 19 hours before I open my eating window so if I do happen to ingest gluten it hits me hard! I would definitely eat here again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Contrary to previous reviews for this location—there is NOT a dedicated fryer for fries! I specifically asked the server and she said everything is fried in the same fryer! So, please disregard the reviews that state otherwise. There was a surprisingly good “gluten friendly” menu, however, with salads, steaks, chicken, and a few sides. I had the sizzling chicken & cheese with mashed potatoes and it was great.

Staff not educated about GF. No GF menus available, they couldn’t find any. Ordered the bacon cheeseburger with Udi’s roll, mashed potatoes. Burger was great as were the potatoes. Restaurant bathroom was filthy with feces on floor. General confusion with some people waiting an hour to get served because waitress forgot to put order in; and another party of four walked out after an issue.

Celiac friendly?

No

There are two different versions of the gluten sensitive menu on their website, and both versions contain items that are no longer available in this location. The waitress offered to bring me the spinach and queso dip without chips. I understand she meant well and was trying to be accommodating. I looked up the ingredients for that item and confirmed it contains wheat. If I'd not been cautious, I could've eaten something that would've made me sick. It's obvious from the out-of-date information on the website and lack of education for the staff, that gluten allergies are not a priority. I won't be returning.

Love the staff and best selection of gluten free food.

Celiac friendly?

No

Waitress didn’t know what celiac was. Order the hamburger with gluten free bun and came out with regular hamburger. When I saw the receipt, she spelled out allergy- sellacs. Obviously they do not teach their staff about dietary restrictions. Also, my husband got a 6oz steak here and it came out looking like a dollar coin. So tiny, not even worth the money. They said that’s the normal size. Don’t recommend going here.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free options,but the restaurant employees are not knowledgeable ...at all. I ordered sizzling chicken and cheese, didn’t get sick but wouldn’t go back by choice

Good amount of options, but not very tasty. Got the sizzling chicken and shrimp and couldn’t cut into the chicken. But not feeling the best after eating this either. Only high rating for diverse options.

Celiac friendly?

No

We went here for a birthday dinner, chosen because they offer a variety for gluten free. Sadly, the waitress knew nothing about gluten and even after explanation brought me a regular burger with French fries that were cross contaminated. The whole experience was terrible including an hour and a half wait after ordering and everyone else at the table having wrong orders. I simply didn’t eat as it’s not worth the days of illness. One of the waitresses even poked fun at me and called me a “hipster” when delivering breaded cheese sticks to my lap. This is sad, I thought we had found another place to eat

They had a separate gluten-friendly menu and were enthusiastic to ensure that my food was GF. I ordered the cheeseburger with an Udi bun and mashed potatoes on the side. Ended the meal with the ice cream sundae. It was a delightful! They do warn on their menu that TGI’s is not a GF environment and for that, I can’t confirm that it’s absolutely celiac friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is located at the baggage pick up. Gluten free burger and fries. The food and drinks were fine but the time it took to get the food was extremely long. The place was practically empty.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu, has gluten free buns for burgers. Change gloves and takes precautions. I always get the sizzling chicken & cheese and they cook on a separate clean grill.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My family and I ate here while on vacation on October 20, 2018. I have a gluten sensitivity, so I have eaten at the Friday's in my hometown, but they do not have a dedicated fryer. Our waitress, Brittany, was awesome! She was super friendly and let me know they had a dedicated fryer for their gluten sensitive guests!. My daughter laughed at me because I was so happy to be able to eat french fries!! I also had the regular cheeseburger on a gluten free bun. It was absolutely wonderful! Can't wait to go back!

We were very skeptical going there bc there are no recent reviews stating whether they’re celiac friendly or not. We called ahead and spoke to the MOD, Jessica. She was unfamiliar with exactly what “Celiac” is however she was incredibly knowledgeable on the kitchens procedures and process for GF foods (or “gluten sensitive” as they call it). My daughter had a burger (no cheese) with an Udi’s bun. Fries are NOT safe, but they were accommodating by giving extra servings of fruit to her. Jessica was pretty much our server as she wanted to oversee everything having to do with my daughters meal to ensure it was 100% safe with no CC. I will not say they are officially celiac friendly, however Jessica specifically went above and beyond making sure my daughter had a yummy, safe meal

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten-sensitive menu available on request.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are very knowledgeable. This is my celiac daughter's favorite restaurant in our area.

Would never go back there the food was bad and did not have a lot to offer.

A really good burguer. I love it.

Celiac friendly?

No

I live less than a mile from here. If there were no other restaurants for 100 miles from here except for this one I still wouldn’t eat here if I was starving to death. Out of the last 5 times I’ve had to eat here 4 times they about killed me. Finally I refuse to go here when I’m invited. One time they put croutons on my salad then tried to take them back off. Idk if they’re not trained well or what but it’s a crap shoot going there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a great experience there! My 12yo and I have Celiac Disease. I ordered the salmon with super veggies and coleslaw, she ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with a lettuce wrap and mashed potatoes. They were all great tasting, grilled to perfection and you can still get the fries which are fried in a separate fryer and a gf bun. There are many options and our waitress was VERY knowledgeable and patient. Highly recommended!!! Definitely will have to go back.

Waitress was really nice and made sure to tell the chef about my gluten and red meat allergies.

Limited gluten sensitive menu with a few salads and burgers with gf buns. No dedicated fryer. Not really celiac friendly, but could work if cc isn’t an issue. Worth trying in an airport with few choices.

Separate Gluten free menu and some items can be modified to be gluten free on Main menu. State you have a wheat allergy/celiac/intolerance before hand for sure.

Celiac friendly?

No

I would not eat here if you have Celiac. My only options have been steak and broccoli. I’ve suffered from symptoms after eating here too. This happened on multiple occasions. I recommend Outback Steakhouse for Celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my go-to restaurant in Quakertown. I usually get the salmon or the steak and have never gotten sick the next day. All the wait staff I have interacted with have gone above and beyond and are very knowledgeable.
