Gluten-Free at Grand Lux Cafe

Had breakfast here. Had an omelette which was nice enough and was offered to swap the toast and hash brown for fruit as they weren’t GF. However I was charged extra for the fruit. Didn’t have many options on the menu.

I guess I should've asked about the supposed gluten free menu? The main menu has what can be made gluten free and it's literally five things out of 50+. Unfortunately, our first choice place to eat had a 45-minute wait due to the Trump voter convention in town... yea... eww. So we ended up here. I really wanted a sandwich or something breaded but that's not here. You can have a caeser salad or a burger. Some mid pasta. The end. I got a caeser since it was the only salad I could have of the seven available. Asked for dressing on the side. It came smothered in dressing and also a whole boat of the same dressing... on the side. Honestly, the most joyless salad I've ever had. An hour later I feel gross and hungry. Though, I'm sure I ate 900 calories thanks to the dressing bath. Look, the bottom line is there's nothing here to eat. Sure, it's on the app but like, go anywhere else. There are actually options to eat here. Don't bother with a restaurant who refuses to post nutritional information on their website who offers 1/16th of their huge menu to feed the gf. Many thumbs down.

Servers daughter had celiac so she was very knowledgeable. I had the Cobb salad and they changed the dressing for me. Normally don’t eat at this chain, but would go again based on my experience!

I reviewed their menu online and there is nothing available the references GF

— No gluten-free information on the menu

The waiter assured me that my breakfast dish would be gluten free, and the chefs would change gloves and utensils but the NIMA sensor detected gluten. However, I will say it was only traces of gluten. (I tested both the smoked salmon omelette and pastrami omelette dish, which included hash browns) Also they claim they toast their GF bread separately, which they might, but my GF bun came out with a bunch of green vegetable residue and other food residue attached to it that likely came from some time of shared surface. The waiter had assured me that the kitchen would clean surfaces change gloves and utensils and after seeing the food residue on my bread I sort of lost confidence in their efforts to prevent cross contamination.

Manager came out to apologize and offer something else, and said he thought the hash browns were definitely gluten free as it was a dedicated skillet to the hash browns. I didn’t want to take a chance so I just asked for boiled eggs as a replacement to make sure they were GF. Unfortunately the eggs were basically completely raw and inedible - but we still were charged for them and I didn’t want to say anything again

I didn’t feel comfortable eating here after reading the reviews, but I had a positive experience. The waiter was knowledgeable and I ensured he was clear this was important. I had salad with ranch. It was great; they tossed it before serving. I also had a burger with a GF bun. It was great!

The rest of my family (not GF) really LOVED their food (pork chops, chicken tenders and chicken fried chicken).

Menu has items that can be modified to be GF. I had the Jumbo Shrimp Salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing instead of the thousand island dressing, which is not GF according to the knowledgeable waitress. My salad was bought out separately from everyone else’s meal. The salad was good, just wished it had more shrimp! I also tested my meal with my Nima Sensor and it said no gluten found. Most importantly, I didn’t get sick!

I would not trust this place to prepare food gluten free. I ordered a salad gluten free and dairy free. The salad came out with cheese on it and a dressing that contained gluten. Will not be coming back.

Had breakfast here. Waitress was knowledgeable about what was/wasn’t safe.

Steak and eggs came with a GF bun they use for burgers as the bread substitute. Hash browns were safe as well.

Good sized menu for the others in our party. Everyone left happy.

Came here twice in as many days (once for dinner, again for breakfast). I wasn’t overwhelmed with the staff but items were marked and I made sure the ticket said gluten free. Did not get sick.

I had the Garden Veggie Omelet. It was marked as a GF option. I also had the hash browns. I used the Nema on the hash browns and it came back with a smiley face. I did not get sick and the waitress was very knowledgeable.

Loud, slow, busy, and lively…. But DELIGHTFUL & DELICIOUS !!! Snag a table in the bar, if necessary, and feast!! Tons of gluten free options, I had a burger + Brie on a GF bun. Really good. No pic because I ate it all too fast.

I am a newly celiac person and I came to Vegas concerned about what I was going to eat. Ended up eating here twice not only because the food was amazing and didn’t make me sick but also the cocktails are amazing. Just make sure your server knows you have an allergy. Had a pasta one night and a burger the other night. 10/10 would recommend

Do not go to the Grand Lux Cafe if you have a TRUE GLUTEN ALLERGY or any other type of ALLERGY!!! Grossly incompetent!! They are liars!!! Not safe!!! My six year old son has Celiac disease. Prior to going there we called to check if was safe for my son and they stated it was. They even bragged about how they have a separate food prep area. When we were seated at the table we alerted our server that my son has a gluten allergy and again we were told it was safe. When they brought the food to the table we alerted them again and again we were told how safe it was. Prior to ordering dessert the server even doubled checked with the manager and again we were told it was safe!!! Guess what?45 minutes later my son is throwing up and in excruciating pain!! They definitely failed my son!!! Please take this as a WARNING for anyone who has Celiac or any other type of FOOD ALLERGY to stay away from the Grand Lux Cafe!!! They clearly lack the proper training, education, leadership and empathy to keep their customers safe from harm!!! If it happened once it will happen again!!!

Again this place is not safe!!! If you have celiac or any other food allergies!!! Avoid at all cost no matter what they say!!! It’s just not worth the risk!!!

We grabbed a late breakfast here when we got into town. Waitress was knowledgeable and let the chef know about my issues. Portions were huge and food was good. No issues at all...

Breakfast options were good. No reactions. Menu had gluten free options clearly marked. I would eat here again.

My boyfriend has celiac and we eat here all the time with no reaction!! It’s great and the staff is very well informed about allergies and know what to recommend. We both love eating here! He usually gets the pasta and so far no reaction

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ate here twice. First time was fine, egg white omelet. The second time, also an egg white omelet, I was sick. Not full blown reaction but definitely a cross contamination reaction. Eat at your own risk.

Awesome gluten free options marked clearly on the menu, gluten free buns for burgers too. Have eaten here 3 times in 3 days with no issues

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Many gluten free options. They have a gluten free bread option so all sandwiches can be made GF!!

Good GF breakfast selection - offered extra hash browns in lieu if bread. Breakfast buffet isn't worth it for GF.

Gluten Free items listed on the regular menu. Server was knowledgeable about preparation and ingredients (knew which salad dressings were GF etc). I had the Chopped Salad; reasonably tasty but nothing special.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Don’t even bother!!! First time pasta came out as regular spaghetti not GF corkscrews. Second order came out with fettuccine buried under the normal noodles. Been sick all night.

Celiac friendly?

No

Server ignored my request to mark ticket allergy/celiac however I was only getting a salad and reassured me that gloves were changed every time before making a salad so no croutons cross contamination. Also changed dressing to make salad gluten free and brought plate separately from the ones with bread.

Their roast beef was simply amazing. Huge portions. Shared with my kiddo and ate the leftovers for breakfast. Didn't get sick. Win win!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I would have given 5 stars, because it is usually so good. Last time I ate there, though, the lettuce was rusty. It was 11:30 AM, probably left over the evening before, and should have been thrown out. The toppings on the salad were beautifully displayed and tasty, but the lettuce had an off taste.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free pasta and salad tested positive for gluten despite the waiter and cooks being extra careful. Not celiac safe despite separate GF strainers.

Celiac friendly?

No

My waiter was very conscious of the gluten free options and their food was very delicious and gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Terrible experience tonight. We went for dinner with a group of friends, focusing on tweens. We were told ahead of time that the kitchen could accommodate gf. My celiac diagnosed daughter ordered pasta labeled gf from the menu. When we clarified cross contamination practices we were told that the gf pasta is cooked in the same water as all other pasta! Why bother? I cancelled our meals. We left to find another restaurant so that my daughter didn’t have to watch the rest of the group eat without her. Extremely disappointed. I don’t recommend this restaurant for diners with gf needs.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have Celiac Disease and after reading reviews and speaking to the restaurant we decided it sounded like a safe place to eat. It was very clear after speaking to our server that she didn't understand the seriousness of Celiac and was not knowledgeable at all about the Grand Lux gluten free options. She was dismissive when I asked if the fries were cooked in a dedicated fryer and not willing to check with the cooks. My salad was served with dressing that contained gluten, I sent it back. The salad came back with the gluten free dressing on the side but the salad had a giant cracker inside of it. There was one mistake after another. Even my Mother was served the wrong meal, thankfully she isn't gluten free. I ended up taking my meal to go and throwing it away when I got home, I didn't feel safe eating it. Very disappointing experience

Celiac friendly?

No

A few gf options, nothing impressive. Good food. Buffet is a cross contamination nightmare - bacon sitting on top of bread/toast. If you have celiac, don’t get the buffet.

I ordered a steak and the server said they would cook it on foil to prevent cross contamination. They even carried my order out separately. It was good and I didn't get sick.

Gluten free is marked on their regular menu and there were quite a few options, the menu was big and the food was delicious.

Food was great and had quite a few gluten free options. They did not have any vegetarian and gluten free combos.

Great breakfast here and staff is knowledgeable. I did not get sick after eating.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service not great at all. The food was average at best but I had no issues and the menu is clearly marked.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a very nice breakfast here- we did off the menu vs buffet. Menu was clearly marked, and waitress was knowledgeable. She even offered me a GF burger roll with my breakfast since they didn’t have GF toast.

I expected more GF options with such a large menu. Notified server I have CD and required a GF meal. Ordered house salad, rib eye, mashed potato and asparagus. The server said the only dressing for the salad that was GF was the blue cheese (which I thought was odd). Went with oil and vinegar. My entree arrived with two huge fried onion rings on top of the steak so the whole meal had to go back. My husband and daughter were about 2/3 done with their entrees when my replacement arrived. The meal was tasty. My daughter ordered their famous beignets (aka torture). When the beignets arrived, our server put dessert plates in front of the three of us. Really?? Although the correction was made, the meal was good and I didn’t get “glutened”, I expected a bit more attention to detail. Word to the wise, be very specific when ordering.
