They're GF menu is poorly edited. It even states the fries are GF, but the friers are contaminated.

I visited Applebee's with my celiac daughter. The waitress (I believe her name was Kerra) was very knowledgeable about celiac and went through the menu options with us. She ensured the kitchen staff was aware of our needs and told them to clean the cooking surface and keep our food separate from gluten. The manager was notified and he stopped by to visit us to make sure our needs were met. Overall it was a stress-free experience.

Ordered a burger on a bed of lettuce, telling them I had Celiac and cannot have any bun at all. It still arrived on a bun. Sent it back to kitchen and they made a new burger, but served it on lettuce on the same plate covered in crumbs from the bun. Left extremely disappointed.

they were very helpful, they sat down with me and went over what I wanted and figured it out. Most of the sides are gluten free. The service was fantastic.

I asked if they had a gf menu and I was handed the binder. It's difficult to read and figure out what is actually gf? Once the waitress came back to take our order I said I was really confused as what I could actually eat because I had celiac. She said well that's why we give you the binder . When it came around to take my order I decided to pass. All I wanted was a salad but I did not feel safe eating here. Come on Applebees you should have a gf menu!

No gluten free menu, just a book of allergens. This book was brought to me by a manager who made it clear that the establishment is not responsible for any cross contamination. He said that the dedicated gluten free fryer would sometimes be used for fish and chips when the place got very busy. At least he was honest. As a person with Celiac disease this will be a restaurant I will have to avoid.

This is more a criticism of the chain rather than this particular location, but I wish they'd print an actual gf menu rather than have the giant, difficult to navigate binder. That said, they do have a few appetizers that are gf. I had the nachos, and they were tasty and generously sized. Staff was friendly and attentive.

*** Please write honest reviews so others have up to date information on choices*** Annoying allergen book so it takes forever to order. Very limited options. Staff is not knowledgeable. The last time I took my child, who got mac n cheese, I asked for no mushrooms but got them anyways, took one bite of my chicken when he needed to go to the bathroom, again, and when we got back to the table the mac n cheese had been scooped into my food because two full plates of food and a full plate of yogurt gave the bus boy the impression that we had left... got a new plate still with mushrooms, ate, paid full price, tipped and left.

Unfortunately I don't feel they make it particularly easy to dine at their restaurant if you are trying to eat GF. Granted they will bring you the allergy binder but as far as making recommendations the staff are either not trained or not very interested.

Handed me a notebook with a list of allergens and their regular menu. Waste of time. Almost all of their steaks and salads still listed gluten as an allergen, and waiter and chefs could not explain why.

I would never rate them a 5, they have the most unorganized way of a notebook to cross reference the menu vs a GF menu. It takes forever to order. The food was tasty but beware of cross contamination

They have an appetizer Salsa Verde Nachos they claim is gluten free. I do not have celiac but seem to get gerd and other digestive problems if I eat gluten. But these nachos were da bomb. hint; order them with some shredded lettuce and sour cream! delicious

Outside of handing you an allergen menu, they have no clue about keeping someone with Celiac disease safe. I ordered salmon and mashed potatoes. When I spooned out a bite in the middle of my mashed potatoes, there were 2 pasta noodles! Never again!

No Gluten Free menu, which made choosing a meal difficult. Staff no up to speed on Celiac.

The waiter was very attentive and went out of his way to find out which items on the menu were gluten free and as celiac friendly as possible. He even brought out a notebook filled with every menu item's allergen information. I was really impressed!

Good food, good service, the lunch specials for a good value. I got the fiesta lime chicken. My only complaint is the bathrooms were dirty.

Salad had wonton strips on it when I specified my issue. Salad was returned to me with them picked out and crumbs still in there. They didn't make me pay, but it's scary to think someone would just pick something out when you have an issue.

I went here to eat the other day with my boyfriend and was nervous. I looked at the allergen list and found a rack of ribs gf. I was so excited. The fries are also gluten free here too. We explained that How I can't have gluten and the first rack came out with coleslaw and I was throughly disappointed. I requested again for my order with the "gluten allergy" and it came out. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I had a full rack of ribs, fries and steamed broccoli. I had enough after for two more meals. I will honestly come back and get these ribs again!!! Also saw on the allergen list that vanilla, strawberry and chocolate shakes were gluten free but didn't try one. I would recommend to others.

Do not have a gf menu but a list of allergens that does not consider cross-contamination at all!!! They say their fries do not contain gluten while they are fried in same oil as onion rings !!! So nothing can be considered gf because of that And not that many choices...

The only gluten-free options are salad and some drinks! Would not recommend this restaurant if looking for gluten friendly options.

They have a separate menu dedicated for gluten and wheat sensitivities (as well as other food allergens), but the store manager will tell you straight out that it's possible to have gluten get in your food with its preparation. I've been burned here. Avoid it if you can.

Very limited options, difficult to decipher allergen menu, uninformed wait staff and after all the education and double checking.. still ended up contaminated. FYI- the allergen menu lists some items as free of wheat (salsa chips, French fries, etc.) but they are fried with wheat. Won't be going back!

We ate lunch at the Applebee's in Flint, Michigan. There are six of us, but only four have celiac disease. The single allergy menu that was given to us was very hard to read. It listed every item on the regular menu, and if an allergen was present, it was marked with an X. It did not indicate that many items, such as the fries and the chips, are cooked in shared oil, and are not actually gluten free. The staff did not seem to understand why we were so concerned about contamination, and did not have the answers to our questions readily available. The service was slow, even though the restaurant was not crowded at all. The music was loud, and the TVs were everywhere and very distracting. Although the food was good, we are very nervous that we might get sick from this trip. Perhaps it is just this particular Applebee's that isn't optimal for people with celiac disease, but safe to say we will not be eating at any Applebee's again unless we receive word that they have improved a significant amount.

It was almost impossible to find anything gluten free and dairy free. They have an allergy menu, but the fries are marked gluten free even though they are done in a fryer with other things. Baked potatoes are rolled in butter before baking. The one good thing was a knowledgeable waitress.

Don't bother. They have next to nothing on their menu, very disappointing.

I ordered nachos that the menu listed as gluten free and specifically told the waiter gluten free. I got sick. A person with me, who does not have Celiac, ordered the same thing and was fine. all I can think is that there was a substitution made.

My two favorites are cedar grilled lemon chicken over rice and the pork chop with honey apple chutney. Cedar salmon is also a good choice. This is a brand new restaurant in Clermont.

This Applebee's is wonderful!!! My daughter and I both have Celiac Disease and every time we eat at this location we always have a wonderful experience! The staff is always careful when bringing our food out as well as double checking everything we order with the manager to make sure there hasn't been any changes(to make sure the item is still prepared GF). They are AWESOME!!

My family and I have been to numerous Applebees before with no problem at all! But this particular one made both myself and my daughter very sick. I ordered my usual(sizzling chicken and shrimp with sweet potato fries --all of which is on their gluten free menu). My daughter order chicken grillers which were part of the their GF menu and she didn't even eat her applesauce just the chicken and we both got very sick! We both have Celiac so this is a major problem! I will never go back to this particular Applebee's again. I have been to the Applebee's in Pooler (not too far away) with absolutely no problems I always have a great experience!

This is the second time I have attempted to eat here. I made it VERY clear I had a gluten allergy and once again the gave me a salad with croutons . Avoid at all costs .

The waitress plopped a huge binder down for me to paruse that outlines ALL ingredients for every food, and not very clearly, then promptly disappeared for a very long time. It is extremely difficult to figure out what they do have that's gf. And even more difficult to ask questions from someone working there. It is not clear at all from the way it's written. Not to mention it isn't even up to date with their new menu. No one, not even me after studying this binder for a half hr, could tell me definitively what was gluten free. I did not get sick, shockingly, after picking something I thought might be ok, but didn't know at all for sure. I will never eat here again. From what I could tell, they literally had maybe 2 things that are celiac friendly. More if you include beverages.

While they have an allergy binder, there are only 4 things on the menu that are gluten free.

They have updated their menu and I am sorry to say, have reduced the number of items that are GF. They provided their large allergen list and upon review, there is actually very little that is truly GF. It is unfortunate that at least at the nearest location to me, the manager was not helpful at all.

Applebees does not understand cross contamination. Chips and fries are labeled gluten-free but go through the shared fryer. I didn't feel safe ordering anything here.

Their regular menu is so complicated and then to look each item up in a book of allergies. It's impossible. Waitress was no help, said they can't guarantee GF. Why have Applebees in this app? I went with the allergy menu and hostess digestion but was sickened.
