Seems to be the best gluten free option at universal. The staff was very nice and understanding about allergies, and the food is mostly already gluten free so had a smaller cross contanimation issue. I had the turkey leg which was very good. If you have to eat at universal, I would reccomend here above all other restaurants in the park.

It was the one place at Universal that really paid attention to cross contamination and what I could have. Universal mostly takes precautions but the other restaurants made mistakes, this place did not. We got a turkey leg, some potatoes and corn. It was all so delicious.

I appreciate that universal studios has online page that tells you which cafe and which dish are gluten free. I ordered the ribs platter. My boy didn’t get any allergic reactions and he liked the taste.

Based on prior reviews, we just went up and asked to speak to the chef. She was really kind. Any breakfast or lunch sandwich can be swapped with gluten free bread. They even have one dessert tart that’s GF. Our family has two celiacs, and we all felt comfortable!

Overall good experience. Was told the rib platter or the chicken platter (with no butter) were gluten free. I had the chicken platter. The chicken and the corn were delicious, the potatoes were ok. It filled me up and I didn’t get sick! Would eat there again.

The cashier seemed somewhat knowledgeable; said the gf options were the chicken platter or the rib platter without the maple butter. We enjoyed the rib platter and butterbeer, which is gluten free as well. It would be nice if gf options were marked on the menu. We didn’t find this in a single Universal Studios restaurant.

Had the herb chicken plate with no butter. Just tell the server you are gluten free and they will take off the butter (there must be some seasoning that is not gf in it). Buttered beer is gf too and they have a dairy free option if you want it frozen with the crème on top. All was super delicious and I didn’t get sick!

Staff was knowledgable of celiac disease and easily able to tell us what was safe and not safe. Food was quick and delicious.
Yes
Well, I am just glad I was able to find a GF option in the park. It's pretty basic, chicken, potato, corn (without butter/they use flour in their butter for the corn). It's not spectacular, but satisfying enough, especially with limited options.
The food was very good. The lemon chicken was the best and the potato seasoning was awesome. The frozen butter beer was the best part.
Yes
Staff used words like “believe” and “I think.” I don’t feel safe here and ended up just buying a drink. I’d rather go hungry than get sick on vacation. I can’t imagine the horror of trying to feed a child with celiac disease while at universal. Universal, try harder!!! Fail. Negative stars.
No
Only things that are GF are the ribs and chicken. Front staff are not well informed but the kitchen staff is. Just make sure you tell the people taking your order it’s for celiac and the kitchen staff will fix any mistakes.
Not the best experience. Ordered a roast without Yorkshire pudding and chef made up normal plate and tried to serve it to me. I reminded them it needs to be gluten free and he just tried to take the bread off the top of my food and serve it to me. I had to ask them to make me a fresh clean one and watch the kitchen like a hawk. Even though servers were apologetic I was not impressed!!
No
The staff knew what was GF, but there were only two options I could eat. I decided just to get the frozen butterbeer (all butterbeer variations are GF). So, while I could have eaten, I didn’t like my options enough, and the reviews on this app weren’t positive enough for celiac friendliness to risk it.
You can eat chicken or rib, without the butter. The waitress, who attended, knew what she was talking about, and even went into the kitchen to make sure the cooks changed their gloves and everything was correct.
The staff were very knowledgeable and answered all my celiac questions I go through when ordering. They offered a good variety of choices. We ate here twice during our visit and I was not affected at all. I would recommend this place.
Yes
Just visited over the weekend with my teen celiac. The hostess was quite familiar with which items could be made gluten free. After reading the reviews here about the butter on the corn-on-the-cob being unsafe for celiacs, I inquired about it and was told that the flavored butter was no longer being used. My family shared a rib platter and a chicken platter and my daughter had no reaction. Better experience here than at the taco truck in Simpsons Land. There they had no clue whether any items were gluten free because "they didn't have a copy of the allergy paper".
Good experience here. The chef came out to talk to us about gluten & dairy free options for my son. We had the roast chicken plate with roasted potatoes & corn on the cob (hold the maple butter on the corn as others have mentioned). The chicken was delicious! Seriously. I was shocked. Our non-GF friends had the shepherd’s pie & fish & chips which were both just ok. It’s rare to feel like you won with the allergy friendly meal, but we totally won! The corn was just ok. I might ask to sub that out for more potatoes next time. And no reactions. I would feel comfortable with my Celiac hubby eating here, but he wasn’t along with us so I can’t confirm we definitely had a 100% GF meal. My son doesn’t react as obviously to trace amounts.
I ate here while visiting universal studios. I was very nervous to eat here because I didn't want to get sick and have it ruin the rest of my day. The restaurant has a very clear allergen menu which made me feel a lot more comfortable. I got the lemon & herb chicken corn & potatoes, without the butter on the corn (the butter was the only thing with gluten- its maple flavored butter). Food came out fast, and the guy who gave me it assured me that it never came in contact with anything that had gluten while being prepared. It was delicious and I didn't have a reaction!! Overall it was a great experience, I recommend eating here!

After spending all day at universal and eating only food I had brought with me, we decided to eat dinner at Three Broomsticks on our way out for the day. An employee very pleasantly told me which items were GF and I ordered the lemon chicken dinner with roasted potatoes and corn on cob. I was told the butter spread on the corn was not GF and was told they'd leave it off. I was planning to give the corn to someone else anyway but wanted to avoid possibility of cross Contamination. The dinner was not bad although i noticed there was a shiny looking liquid on plate that got onto my potatoes and chicken. By the time I walked to the parking structure I could feel the symptoms of gluten exposure starting. I was very sick all the way home and the rest of the night. Feeling better today but definitely still feeling the effects. If you eat there make sure they do not put the corn with the spread on your plate as I suspect that's what occurred with mine.
No
I was really worried about eating at Universal since I had spent all that money and effort to get there (six hour drive plus $150 on a ticket). After waiting in line, I was able to order at with a cashier. He was able to tell me what items could be prepared safely (truthfully, there were only a few options). I ordered the half rotisserie chicken with the corn and potatoes. The chicken was very good. The potatoes were amazing and the corn had great flavoring but was cold. I also enjoyed a hot butter beer. I had no reaction and had a great rest of the day at Universal. đź’ś anything Harry Potter

Loved it. Shared ribs platter and asparagus platter (sub roasted potatoes for mashed bc gluten in gravy). Excellent with hot butter beer on a cold day!
A number of main courses are gluten free. We had the Spare Ribs Platter and the Herb Chicken which are both gluten free. The meals come with potatoes and corn on the cob which are also gluten free. Our first cashier was great and knew what was available, the second one did not have a clue, so you do need to ask around to find someone who knows what is going on.
Both meals were great and had tons of food.
Yes
The first person told me to eat the fruit plate with a scone and croissant. Choice is roast beef or ribs and that is it. Bangers and mash have wheat in them. They sent us to spring field for healthy options. Well that was a great big joke. Starving and grumpy.
No
Was excited to sit down and have a meal with my family until the very unfriendly gentleman said a fruit plate was the only option.
No
Great food for a them park. The staff knew which items were gluten free. My very sensitive daughter had no ill effects.
The staff here was very helpful and friendly. When you order they can look up what items are GF right in their computer. They suggest modifications if parts of a meal are unsafe. I got the spare rib plate and the Frozen butterbeer. All GF. Yum!
I was extremely nervous to try this place, considering there were no reviews and I am very very sensitive! The employees/servers were very good about telling me what was gluten free, what had soy in it and what I can and can't have. I am so glad I tried it! I did not get sick at all!! The food was so good!!! And it was a big portion! I got the spare rib platter with no adjustments to my order needed. They told me that the Bangers and Mash as well as the Beef Sunday Roast were gluten free as well. I am definitely going to try that next time, since we have an annual pass. The butter beer is also gluten free, the frozen one is my favorite! They also have strong bow cider at the pub in the same restaurant, which is also gluten free. We had an absolute blast and I didn't get sick at all! I had to review it!!
