Timberlake's Restaurant

Set menu for Valentine’s Day meant limited choices. Asked for help to make gluten, dairy free choices. Was so sick right after the menu.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

I marked on our reservation (and called ahead) that my son would need to eat gluten free. The server did not seem to know that ahead of time, but once we mentioned it, she was incredibly helpful and knew exactly which items would be appropriate (almost all entrees could be prepared appropriately or with any necessary adjustments to ensure GF). They have GF pastas to sub for any of their pasta dishes, as well as GF bread and buns for their sandwiches and burgers. The waitress knew to bring up that they did not have a GF fryer, so fries could not be safe, but was able to direct us to sides that would be safe. She also made sure to communicate and double check my sons order with the kitchen to be sure it would be prepared appropriately. I say they did a great job and seemed informed and prepared for multiple GF options, even if not immediately noted on the menu. We were happy with our meals and felt safe and well cared for!

Be careful here. I worked here during college and the kitchen was careful to accommodate modifications and dietary restrictions. Just went back for a visit yesterday and found out from a friend that most of the dinner chefs had quit. I ordered a burger with no bun because there was no gf bun option (which is fine, it doesn’t make that much of a difference to me to not have a bun) and it came out with a bun on it. I am not celiac so I didn’t have them remake it but I was upset that my request for no bun *because* I am gluten free was not given proper attention. Not safe

We enjoyed the atmosphere at Timberlakes. There were a very limited number of GF options on the menu but we both ordered we enjoyed. My daughter had a grilled chicken sandwich with no bun and I had the berry salad with salmon. We also ordered the pimento cheese with pita for an appetizer and they brought carrots and celery for those of us with Celiac. We both shared a delicious pumpkin creme brûlée for dessert. The rest of the family really enjoyed their non-GF options. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because of the very limited number of GF options.

Had to explain about Celiac & cc. Was told the wonton strips were gf, they were not. Ordered a salad and it came out with crotons. Then was offered fries (cooked in shared fryer). No gf menu or items marked on menu

No

They were very accommodating and worked with my Celiac. They even made tortilla chips and salsa for me to snack on while I waited for dinner.
