The Purple Cow Restaurant

Had to choose this place due to driving through little rock - was hoping reviews were wrong, but sad to report I was wrong. Server was knowledgeable and checked with the kitchen to make sure they could cook my food separately, and they said they could accommodate. Bun was good, but I have a suspicion they put butter on it with the same knife that they use on regular buns. You may be able to go here if not celiac, but I’m paying the price :(

Walked in, was seated, my daughter asked for a gluten free menu. The hostess said nothing is gluten free but the bun. The server had no clue, the hostess said she would get the manager, and apparently the manager didn't even know so had to get on the phone with someone and we chose to not wait. Three unknowledgable people that we dealt with was enough. A shame tho.

Their menu states to order with a manager if any allergies or intolerance but I just asked the waitress and she told me they have gluten free bread for any of their sandwiches. I ordered a berry salad and she asked if I wanted grilled chicken on it and informed me they cook it in a separate place by itself so no cross contamination. It's a small kitchen so I would be surprised if there was absolutely no cross contamination but overall it seems they try to accommodate their customers who have celiac or other issues.

The servers are not always very good, but the food is fantastic and the gluten free buns are wonderful! You can order any of the burgers and ask for gluten free, and the cooks know what to do. Order the chips and not the fries. They are in a shared fryer.
