Zea Rotisserie and Grill

Took me three requests to get a gluten free menu (including one from my boyfriend), the gluten menu is ridiculously hard to read mixed in with the low cal stuff (it’s not the same thing)- I ended up having to look at the menu online. Also, the “no gluten added” designation is really scary. I know they’ve been through an ebb and flow with their menus (at one point years ago they refused to give me any gluten free menu for fear of lawsuit), but this is ridiculous. Just say you can’t guarantee cross contamination, and say what’s gluten free- like every other restaurant. We would understand what that means. But no gluten ADDED? Who adds gluten? Gluten is naturally occurring, so guess what, even bread is no gluten added!

I will not be coming back to Zea’s.

Celiac friendly?

No

their menu is one of thise annoying menus thatg conbines low calorie and gluten free. it is very confusing to read and many things that should be gluten free aren't. it's difficult to tell if its education issue or not. i ate a salad that was okay but it was my 4th choice. was told corn grits are not gf.

It's a little hard to tell from the menu what is GF (some GF things are marked, others aren't, like the corn grits ) but our server was very knowledgeable and didn't mind me asking a million questions. The meal was excellent and even included chocolate torte. I'm very sensitive and had no trouble.

Great options ( the bbq ribs and grits are delicious) . They only have vanilla ice cream for GF dessert tho.

I’m a Celiac and everything I’ve gotten here made me very sick, even if it was on their gluten free menu. Good for those avoiding gluten but if you have a serious allergy, I wouldn’t recommend.

Not a fan. It was a nice place with a gluten-free menu, but I didn't feel confident that the staff understood anything about gluten. The food was bland and swimming in so much butter that it was the predominate flavor. I like butter but not by the spoonful. The drinks were good.

My meal of the bronzed trout with sides of sweet potatoes and snap beans was delicious. I had no negative reaction to the food. I had asked my server whether the gluten free food on their menu meant that staff would be cautious about cross contamination & he said yes and that he would notify the kitchen and manager that I’m celiac.
