Review of The Place

The Place is touted as being celiac friendly which is why we chose to eat there. To their credit they have gluten free bread for most if not all of their items and they stated that they prepare their GF meals in separate kitchen area. They do not have a Gluten Free fryer, however. This eliminates the sides (fries, crispy potatoes, and chips) which are the only options offered with most sandwich entrees. They offered me a salad instead for an up charge. It also negates the chicken wing options, which happen to be incorrectly marked as gluten free on the menu. The food itself was delicious and there were only minor service issues that aren't worth extrapolating on here. If you are craving a classic sandwich such as a beef on weck, burger, or Buffalo Chicken then I'd suggest eating at the Place as long as you can go without the fries or chips (which looked so delicious). I had the beef on weck, on their gf kimelweck styled roll and did not get glutened. Also had the banana pepper dip with GF toast (was a rye-styled bread). The dip was mostly cream cheese with very little banana pepper flavor and no heat (spice). The server and staff seemed knwoledgeable about their protocol and menu, but certain menu items are marked GF even though they are fried in a gluten-shared fryer so 4/5 for safety. Make sure you ask questions.
