The Blue Moose Bar & Grill

I went on a date with my girlfriend here who has Celiac. She has the GF cranberry salad and it was good! Should’ve asked for dressing on the side as it was a little sweet. Cool lodge style building. I had the non gf fish taco and it was awesome!! If you’re looking for a place where you and someone who’s gf can enjoy the blue moose is a great spot!

Amazed to see a gluten free specific menu. Staff is amazing - with my three obnoxious children who are starving and celiac. Patient, had suggestions and made us feel like we were meant to be there.

Large Gluten free menu BUT….. I asked the waiter to double check ingredients in one of the items listed on the gluten-free menu and to his great credit, he did, only to find out that due to recent changes in ingredients that there was indeed gluten in one of the items. Had I not asked however, I would have been contaminated. The manager did come over to address the issue and apologize and stated that the item would be removed from the menu or the ingredient would be changed. We were satisfied with their attentiveness and their follow through. We ordered a different item off the menu and I was good. We have ordered items previously from this restaurant without issue.We do plan on coming back.

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

I ordered directly from the gluten-free menu and found pasta in the slaw they put on my plate. So I stopped eating and asked the server to check it out. They offered me free dessert for exposing me to gluten - I turned them down. But they don’t realize I’ll be sick for weeks, maybe months because they for some stupid reason put pasta in slaw and then put it on my gluten free plate.

The last two times I have eaten at the Blue Moose, I have ended up getting sick after. Generally I order by saying, "I'm ordering gluten free tonight for medical reasons. I will get very sick if I have even a little gluten. I'm going to be ordering xyz off the gluten free menu for medical reasons." Then, when my food is delivered, I ask, "and this is from the gluten free menu?"

Two times in a row, I was sick after.

They have a gf menu but it's just regular food with out bread. Not a big selection.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice variety on the gf menu. Did not get glutened afterwards. Blue Moose is on my safe list

Such great food and great gf options great for celiac disease sufferers

Extremely Celiac friendly. I've had the best experience here out of all GF friendly restaurants in Grand Forks. Just make sure you specify you are ordering off the gluten free menu, even if the if the item is also on the regular menu! They will take extra precautions to avoid CC if you specify it's off the gluten free menu. There are many choices as well. :)
