Wood-n-Tap Bar & Grill

Terrible experience at Rocky Hill location it took 1 hour to be served. This restaurant as well no longer has a dedicated gluten free menu, and has removed some of the gluten free options from the menu. Staff do not seem knowledgeable about what ingredients are in the food which was concerning when trying to order gluten and dairy free. Gluten free bread available but otherwise menu options are very limited. I definitely would avoid this restaurant if celiac. Old reviews of this restaurant are accurate used to be a very gluten friendly restaurant but their new menu is for sure not and the menu does also not label which items are supposed to be gluten free.

No separate fryer

My friend just got diagnosed with celiacs. I have a gluten intolerance. The other two people in our party had no restrictions. They said none of their fries are gluten free but they didn’t know of any sides were gluten free. I got a salad with a side of tator tots because I figured it’d be fine for me because using the same fryer doesn’t normally bother me. My celiac friend got a burger with a gluten free bun. When they brought it to our car, I asked the man to make sure it was gluten free and he said he thinks so cause the other ones are brioche. We go home and the salad is great and all is well. I eat my tator tots and my celiac friend literally was just diagnosed so he didn’t know his limitations and wanted to see if he could eat three tator tots or if he’d have a reaction. He felt sick immediately. About an hour and a half later, I got sick from the tator tots and I never get sick from cross contamination. Idk if it’s cause they have beer battered fries so that made it worse or what but I was having bad stomach cramps, stomach gurgling and not feeling well. Wouldn’t recommend this for celiacs and hesitant for gluten free customers unless you stick to salad.

Delicious gf options for food and drinks. Really knowledgeable staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They state they are gluten-friendly, not gluten-free, but I did not have a reaction and the food is great!

Great selection of gluten free items- only thing missing here is a dedicated fryer for fries.

Nice place. GF Menu is called GLUTEN FRIENDLY which tends to scare people. They have GF buns and desserts, the GF turkey burger was great ( had it on lettuce bed - the GF bun is $2 extra). They also carry a few GF beers (too bad I have a ways to drive!) --- recommend the Omission IPA.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free buns are great but staff is not knowledgeable

Wood n Tap's gluten-friendly menu with several GF beers demonstrates that they get it. I would imagine someday their freedom fries will be cooked in a gluten free dedicated fryer. The food and service are good.

As other wrote, this location does not do a good job at gluten free. I live in rocky hill and have had food orders messed up at least twice. I have heard southington does a great job though.

Loved wood and tap to begin with, they have a lot to choose from but have had food come out not gluten free twice at separate locations after reminding server and ordering from gluten free menu. The staff isn't very careful. Very disappointed since they have such a good selection.

Not a very good experience. New menu does not label GF items. Servers not too sure, have to double check. Food was flavorless, not cooked well. Service was slow and not attentive. GF dessert was a nut brownie, nuts tasted old, very chocolatey tho. I wouldn’t recommend this establishment.

no GF beer, ones in stocks are not true GF beer

They have several gluten free items on the regular menu, when I asked waitress about them she said we have a separate gluten-free menu and brought it to me.

Have been here many times without getting sick. Food is decent but they always have long waits.
