Gluten-Free at HopCat

They have GF buns and the friendly waitress informed me that the fries were not GF and offered sides such as a house salad instead. The GF bun was pretty good and did not get crummy or fall apart. Overall, I was not that impressed with the food.

— Average

Sadly, very little on their menu is gluten free and the risk of cross contamination is very high. The waiter did a great job helping me find something that would be safe (a burger with a gluten free bun with a topping removed, side house salad) and I still became sick from cross contamination.

Not many options for gluten free. Had the side house salad and did not get sick

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wait staff was understanding and able to point me in the right direction on the menu. Took precautions and no symptoms

I ate here and enjoyed my meal. I'm celiac and did not get sick.

Not very GF friendly. Nice atmosphere but wait staff was not sure if ciders were GF; only one bottled beer was GF ($11); GF buns for burgers; no GF other designation on menu items; no discussion by staff as to what could be prepared GF; no GF designation on salad dressings. Disappointing for a new restaurant.

No food for you at this establishment. If you're interested in a historical experience, this is the spot - staff are both unaware of what gluten is, yet massively triggered by the thought that someone might not be able to eat it, in a way that seems very 2009. Two stars for cider and mead on tap and in bottles - as a place to drink it's fine, just be prepared to eat elsewhere.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff acted like it was an inconvenience to them. They do have gf buns and bread but only for SOME sandwiches. Not the grilled cheese though. Would not recommend.

Be careful. I ordered the stuffed cheeseburger with a gluten-free bun and a side of chili (because the fries are beer-battered) and had a terrible reaction.
