They had a dedicated gluten-free menu and were familiar with celiac disease. This place has excellent ambience, I ordered a hamburger with a gluten free bun (the bun was kind of dry) option of regular fries or sweet potato fries with a dedicated fryer. The only option I had for dessert was a flourless chocolate cake that was just OK.
By far one the best and easiest places for someone with celiac to go to. Servers are very nice and food is delicious. I’d say only caveat is that they bake everything in the same oven. Nothing touches, but if you’re very sensitive, there is chance of coming into contact with gluten particles from the same oven (cooking products with gluten)
I was nervous about this place despite the great reviews. But I’m happy to report I had a great experience! When I told our waiter I was Celiac he promptly returned with a GF menu. I got the strawberry salad with chicken (no chilis) and it came out with a flag denoting GF - the man who served our food also reiterated “gluten free strawberry salad.” The salad was very yummy! I’d definitely come back :)
Went for brunch on Easter, got the breakfast egg and bacon sandwich. Marked with a flag when it came out, and completely delicious!
Update- I have been coming here for 5 years. Never a reaction, always a good time and incredible meal. The ultimate grilled cheese is INCREDIBLE. Cannot recommend enough. My favorite restaurant in Chicago!
My experience was great. There is a separate gluten free menu and fryer! I had French fries, a burger with bacon, and chicken wings. Everything was delicious. The wings came out with a little flag to indicate they were gluten free. The service was great. The Wilde themed decor made for nice ambiance. All over recommend this place.
Had a fantastic experience. Everyone was very welcoming. I loved the Oscar Wilde theme. I told the waiter that my son and I would be ordering off the Gluten Friendly menu. He immediately asked if it was an allergy. The menu also states that they will do their best to accommodate, but there is not dedicated equipment. Plus, our food came out with little flags on it.
My son had the GF Mac and cheese with bacon. He loved it. I tasted it and it was good, but I like my Mac and cheese thicker. IMO, this was easier to eat with a spoon. I ordered the GF Wilde burger with fries(waiter told me the fries were fried in a separate fryer).
We were going to a Cubs game, so we didn't have dessert, but there is an option.
My son asked if I would go back to try some of the other items on our next trip, and I said yes.
First off, what a charming establishment. So cozy, especially with the Christmas decor, fireplaces and books. The staff was exceptionally friendly. My daughter took off her glove and her gold ring flew off. So many staff members ran over to help her find it! Low and behold it was recovered. The food was so yummy as where the cocktails. But the best part of this is that my son is a celiac and they have a nice, big gluten free menu including MAC and CHEESE! My son was in heaven! Thank you for not just having a gluten free bun like most places! Cannot wait to return!!!!
I came here and ordered a grilled cheese with tomato soup. It came out on normal bread and they told me they don’t think it’s gluten free but I would be fine. My waitress came back and said it wasn’t and she will get me another. The sandwich on gluten free bread came out and had fried onions on it that were not gluten free.
Absolutely delicious! My waitress told the kitchen I was celiac and said she would ensure everything was changed clean and fresh! I had the Macaroni and cheese and it was DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend!! Such a cute spot too! Love the decor and bookcases! They had many gluten free drink options and seltzer’s. They also had a gf chocolate cake which I was too full to get, but I will definitely be back!
this place is the BEST! i’ve done brunch and dinner and i’ve loved both. staff is knowledgeable about cross contact as someone in the owners family is celiac. food comes out with different flag than the other items indicating allergy. DEDICATED FRYER !! i repeat dedicated fryer everyone! when i had dinner here i asked for a side of fruit as that’s my usual go to, but the server let me know they actually have a dedicated fryer for just french fries and sweet potato fries! the restaurant also just has a really cool vibe and decor
Stopped in for brunch. Had a blackened chicken sandwich on gf bun and grilled cheese on gf bread. Standard side is potatoes or fries but got a salad for a two dollar upcharge. Salad was really basic. Sandwiches were good but not mind blowing. Service was fast.
