Not celiac friendly. And not good food. They make it easy to never consider eating here...

I ordered the burger on a gluten-free bun. Only later that day did I realize that they had given me a regular bun. I felt bad for a week. I can't be sure, but I think the waitress might have known it was a regular bun. Don't risk The Range.

The waitress at this newest Range Cafe told me the kitchen only uses corn starch to thicken sauces. I suggest diners ask about the gf bread toasting to determine if it's safe for them as it's in the "warmer" and I was told nothing could fall on it, etc. I did chance it and had no ill effects. But the restaurant was not busy and my waitress was attentive.

Last week ate dinner one evening (tasty GF spinach enchiladas) and breakfast another morning (excellent GF vegetable omelet). Both times the waitstaff were attentive to my requests (ex. no potatoes because of cross contamination.).

Although there’s no GF menu and nothing noted as GF on the regular menu, staff remains aware of what is safe and carefully notes “gluten free” as they take the order.

I continue to eat here because it’s local to me on west time but it’s frustrating and risky. The staff in general seems less willing to make notes or go ask questions which of course feels terrible and imposing when trying to be assertive. Lots of Shared fryer items including potatoes. I tend to get soup or tacos. Chile is gf.

They have lots of GF options, but you have to ask and be willing to substitute items
