Thyme Kitchen and Craft Beer

My husband and I ordered the house bacon to share as an appetizer and I ordered the turkey sandwich for my entree, both from the gluten free menu. I got horribly sick. We won’t be going back.

***EDIT April 2023*** Editing down to 1 star because Thyme is still purporting that items fried in a communal fryer are gluten free. They know better, they've been asked to warn people, and they're still being dishonest and knowingly glutening people. Consuming gluten can cause cancer in those of us who have celiac disease and they clearly just do not care. At all.

***EDIT October 2018*** I'm editing my review down to 2 stars, as it's been nearly a year since I spoke with the management about the fried items on their gluten free menu and they still haven't fixed the issue! To quote what I was told: "We do our very best to make sure there is no major cross contamination by using separate utensils, cutting boards, etc., but no, there is no separate fryer"...they aren't doing their very best to prevent cross contamination when they knowingly have cross contaminated fried items on their GF menu. I responded by saying "I highly suggest that you take the fried items off of your gluten free menu, or at the very least, state on the gluten free menu that your fryers are not gluten free; it matters to those of us who have celiac disease"...but they've done nothing :(



I had originally given a 5-star review, but I'm changing it to 3 stars. Thyme's gluten free menu has multiple fried items and I had been told on four visits to the restaurant by four different servers that they had a dedicated gluten free fryer. But on my 5th trip, I was told that the fryer wasn't gluten free and never had been! I contacted Thyme and they confirmed that they've never had a gluten free fryer. They shouldn't have fried items on the gluten free menu unless the fryer is gluten free. They still have other items on the gluten free menu that are not fried and are fantastic, so I'm giving 3 stars. If they update their gluten free menu and remove the fried items, I will increase my star rating.

I’m very disappointed in Thyme. They have a gluten free menu, but even when ordered and being very clear about being celiac and need the kitchen to know of gluten allergy, we still received a side salad with croutons on it. The waitress then tells us she told the kitchen, but “sometimes they don’t listen”. Don’t trust Thyme if you are celiac. They offer GF buns, but do NOT understand cross-contamination at all.

Also we had poor service that took over an hour to receive food on a Sunday afternoon when they weren’t busy at all. I can’t imagine trying to communicate any allergy need when they are busy.

Gluten free menu is very misleading. I got all excited because the menu said fried fish with fries. NOT!

The menu had nice options, and the tator tots were delicious. However, after my meal it was revealed that they do not use dedicated fryers as I had thought. I became sick after eating here and would not recommend it for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went for lunch today menu was nice food was GREAT will go back when ever I'm in Peoria

Delicious gluten free options and separate menu. Even gluten free drinks. Highly recommend!

Great food and has a separate GF menu
