Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar

Separate gluten-free menu and educated staff on celiac disease. Only reason I didn’t give 5 was because food was good but kind of bland since they leave out all sauces and most flavorings. However, I still had NO reaction! Better than nothing, lol

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wide variety of options and cuisine. A “something for everyone” place. Love that they have a separate printed GF menu with safe choices or items that can be modified. Rice bowls, chicken entrees, lettuce wrap burger, some salad options. Fun vibe and friendly staff that was familiar with needs of a GF diner.

Nima Tested the hamburger 🍔, the mash potatos, and wedge salad all came back NO gluten! Was very good! 👍

The staff was knowledgeable and they had a gluten-free menu with some good options. I didn’t get sick or have any problems.

I have eaten from their gluten free menu a few times since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I have not had any issues!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have come a long way since we first started eating here. I live the varied GF options and how tasty everything is. Bravo!

Yes they have options and yes the food tasted good BUT I still got sick :( Most likely it's because they don't have a separate area they prep/cook gf items like other places. It was a while back when I went so maybe one more try is in the cards...

Extensive gluten free menu ;) always delicious! They have everything from soup to salad to burgers to fish to grilled chicken to steaks!

I ordered the grilled salmon, basmati rice and sauteed spinach along with the tequila honey squeeze cocktail which was very good.

Very little on the menu for GF and I was told the fries are absolutely not safe as they are beer battered, so opted for a side of fruit (which was hilariously just a huge slice of admittedly very delicious watermelon).

When the food arrived, the (as I had been told) very glutenous fries were laid directly on top of the burger to where they had melted into the cheese. I was there for an interview so I didn’t return the food which was my mistake. I had a horrific migraine after eating there which is one of my symptoms.

While in Fresno for a doctors appointment my husband and I had dinner at this restaurant because he really wanted a burger. Although they have a gluten free menu they do not guarantee there will be no cross contamination. I nearly always order a salad when eating out because it’s usually a safer option. Not at this restaurant. The food was tasty and the service adequate but there was definitely cross contamination. I would not recommend this chain if you are a celiac.

I order from the gluten sensitive menu all the time with zero problems. Staff always ‘flags’ my dishes when ordered and brought to the table. I order the GS Sweet & Spicy Wok all the time and it is delicious!
