Gluten-Free at Maudie's

Love eating here. Telling the waiter you need gf, and they bring you a sealed package of gf tortilla chips. Everything that is marked GF is safe.

I have not had an issue here. They do a great job every time! I did order to-go recently and the gal up front said “I made sure they cooked it on a separate grill! I have to get on to them about that.” Which scares me a little bit because why wouldn’t they just do that if someone had an allergy? Anyway, I haven’t had a reaction and it is good food.

Maudie’s was good with understanding the gluten free needs of a person with celiac. Just make sure the server knows your needs and they will accommodate! She brought out a bag of pre packaged chips since the normal ones they serve are in a shared fryer. I had the chicken powerbowl and had no reaction! Definitely a safe place for someone with celiac.

So amazingly delicious and safe. Totally brought me my own Chips from a bag that was safe. The fajitas were cooked in a separate area and were delicious.

Maudie's is fabulous for gluten allergies. They have separate chips in bags from an outside vendor that are 100% gluten free as opposed to in house ones that are in a shared fryer. I almost always get the fajitas, and they are amazing.

I have heard good reviews for a long time about Maudie’s but haven’t gone since my diagnosis. The menu has a big sign on the front about how much gluten free food they have. I was not confident in the restaurant after talking with the waiter and the speed with which my food came how. I had the Stuffed avocado shrimp salad and it was not good. I don’t feel sick at this point but I would not go back

Be very careful. I asked for gluten free chips which they promptly brought to my table. I then ordered gluten free tacos. They brought FLOUR tortilla tacos not just once but TWICE to me!!! And the second time the person who brought my plate told me flour was gluten free. I told him their flour tortillas are not gluten free. It took three plates before they got the order right. I was very frustrated and concerned. Maudie’s used to be a place I always felt safe but not any longer. I don’t know if they truly started over with meat or just put it on corn tortillas. It took a long time between each of the three attempts but I’m not sure what they did. Guess I’ll find out later tonight as it usually takes a few hours before I get sick.

Make sure you ask for gluten free chips because I started eating the ones on the table and was then told they’re only gluten friendly. The server brought me gluten free chips in a sealed bag and a separate salsa, so they were knowledgeable about cross contamination. Their house margarita was gluten free and they clearly mark which food items are gluten free and which can be made gf upon request.

I’m rating as a 3 due to the horrible lack of service. Our waiter took forever to take our order. The person who delivered our food to the table was very nice and helpful. We ran out of water twice and had to get up and get our own refills. When eating spicy food, that’s never a good thing. I also ordered a margarita. I asked the waiter if he could make sure the margaritas were made with 100% agave, to be gluten free. He said all were GF. It took 18 minutes to get the drink and I was already finished with my meal. When we got the ticket, my drink was $12.95! More than our meals! I did not get sick, so there is a positive. This was our first experience at this location. We will just stick with the Austin location. They are more competent at that location.

Yummy Tex-Mex and celiac friendly. You can request a separate packaged bag of GF chips when they bring out the chips and salsa. My daughter ordered some GF tacos, and the waiter asked if she wanted crispy or soft tacos. She replied crispy, but then he came back a minute later to ask her if soft was ok because the crispy ones weren’t fried in a dedicated fryer. Was nice to see that the kitchen was paying attention to those details! Had a great meal and my very sensitive celiac daughter felt comfortable eating there and did not get sick.

Pretty good Tex Mex food. Had the appetizer dip trio and enjoyed the guacamole and the queso, not so much the bean dip. Make sure to ask for GF chips - they come in a separate bag. I had the chili cheese enchiladas and the rice/beans, which were pretty good.

It was busy, but the waitress noted my allergy and made sure my meal turned out GF. The queso and chips are GF (you can ask for chips that are bagged & not cross-contaminated in the shared oil). The menu is VERY thorough and clear about what is GF and what can be modified to be GF- it’s most items.

Maudies is the absolute best. The food is fantastic, the prices are pretty inexpensive, and the gluten free menu options are endless. The gluten free items are marked on their menu and it seems like most of the menu is/can be gluten free. The staff is super knowledgeable. They bring a sealed GF bag of chips for you by request. It’s rare now that I’m gluten free to go to a place and be overwhelmed (in a good way) by the number of options. The food is sooooo good, GF or not. My goal is to try something new every time we go there! I feel completely safe eating there and will continue to be a regular customer because of that and the great staff. Maudies, you’re my favorite!

Staff was very knowledgeable when asked about gluten free options for dine in or take out. Brought separate GF chips and salsa before our food came out (standard chips and salsa are not GF).

We got the fajitas without cheese and sour cream so DF/GF.

Menu is well marked with gluten free and gluten alternative. They were very helpful when it came to ordering.

They also had GF chips that were brought out and sealed so you knew they weren’t the normal ones.

I have not had Tex-Mex food outside of my own home since 2014. I was over the moon thrilled. They brought me my own sealed bag of chips and the got me a separate salsa, just to make me feel safer. The grilled mahi taco were amazing with the corn tortillas

Maudie’s Too has a really nice outdoor patio. On a hot summer day the breeze blowing through was really nice, but the noise from the cars was a bit much. I am a celiac and had read the previous reviews on here. When we went, I asked right away for gluten free chips and we got them. We ordered the appetizer trio and enjoyed the thin and crispy chips that come out in a plastic bag that you open and pour into a bowl yourself, which was nice. Queso was a little cold, guac was spicy, and “spicy” bean dip was a bit bland. I am the kind of person who just enjoys all food, so still a 3 stars. I ordered the veggie fajitas. They did not come out on the steaming tray as usual :/ but the mushrooms and onions were exceptional. Also came with a plate of delicious fresh tomato salsa (definitely a highlight) and other taco toppings. The real highlight was the tortillas that were white corn and the best corn tortillas I’ve ever had. I even double checked with our server when I saw them because I figured they had to be wheat. But they were corn, and so soft and delicious. I enjoyed the fajitas overall, friend got cheese enchiladas and both were a solid 4 stars. Overall comments: waiter was a little brusque, kind of a hit or miss, but was helpful and did answer all questions I asked. I felt safe, or else I would have left. Food was good and I didn’t get sick. Definitely worth a try.

I ordered a gluten free marked item off their menu, and I informed the waiter that it was an allergy. He then asked me if I wanted flour or corn tortillas with the meal, but he did write down a allergy note on his notepad afterwards. My corn tortillas did come out wrapped on foil and labeled as 'gluten free', but I did not try them. My main dish did not cause me to have a reaction however.

Pretty good- waiter brought gf chips in a package and almost everything is modifiable.

Super knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. They serve separate bagged chips and salsa. Menu indicates what can be made GF and you simply inform the waitstaff who are friendly and understand celiac. I eat here all the time without issue. It’s great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff very knowledgeable. Asked about gluten intolerance, no attitude. Grilled shrimp tacos were delicious and no issues after. GF chips in a separate bag from regular.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here twice and haven’t gotten sick either time. They bring bagged gluten free chips with a separate bowl of salsa and they will cook your food separately if you let them know. The second time I went I had to ask for the separate bowl of salsa, but they are very willing to accommodate!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Always accommodating and knowledgeable and after eating here for 14 years, I have never gotten sick! I love Maudie’s.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Every Maudie’s we have been to they have been extremely knowledgeable and very careful. They have a dedicated celiac prep/kitchen space. They also bring chips in their own bag so you know they were not used in the same oil as gluten. Very safe! If you’re ever unsure, always talk to their friendly managers :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here frequently and have never gotten sick. They have separate chips and bring separate salsa. Everything is just delicious! And the margaritas are fabulous too!

Great food! The menu is marked with gluten free items and those that can be made gluten free. Make sure to let the server know you're gluten free and they'll bring out bagged chips. A must eat for every trip to Austin!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of the best GF places I’ve ever eaten at! Servers were very understanding. Brought me my own GF chips. Our table was splitting to orders of fajitas and they brought out one of them gluten-free for me. Menu shows what items are or can be made gluten-free. I was very impressed and didn’t get sick. Definitely recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was disappointed to see that someone said Maudie’s wasn’t Celiac Friendly... I’m extremely sensitive and they are my go to place! And I have never gotten sick there. Then I read that the poster said he ate the chips they put on the table ASSUMING they were GF! I don’t eat anything without verifying that it is gluten free! This place brings you GF chips in a bag to insure there is no chance of cross contamination and you don’t think that is good enough? Thank you Maudie’s for going above and beyond, because we all know a dedicated fryer is only safe until someone drops a breaded food item into it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered GF Calderon de pollo and they bring your GF tortilla chips in a sealed bag! Exact same chips as regular ones but protected from cross contamination. Got my own bowl of awesome hot sauce too!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate GF chips available. Many items can be requested to be made GF. Food was absolutely delicious. Try the blackberry mint margarita!

Had a bad waitress tonight, she got almost everything wrong and unfortunately my beef enchiladas were not gluten free.

I have to say I eat here a lot and this is first time I have gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?
