Gluten Free at Applebee's

Very knowledgeable staff. After ordering from the GF menu the waiter came back out to let me know that the food we ordered would be cross contaminated. So we ordered stakes and salads. Very very knowledgeable!

Their allergen binder is extremely hard to use, but my server knew what was gf and wasn’t off the back of his hand. He made sure the kitchen staff knew they had a gf order on their hands. The food was ok but I didn’t get sick afterwards.

Always nervous to try restaurants claiming to have gluten free options but was pleasantly surprised at this Applebee’s. The waitress right away found their allergy/gluten nutritional guide and I was able to find a meal that was perfect for my Celiac Disease and during lent. Great job Applebee’s.

Waitress had no knowledge of gf or food allergies. No gf menu. Worst part was the HAIR in my salad!! Avoid this dump!

A cross contamination nightmare. Shared fryers. Staff well meaning but completely clueless.

The staff has told me that it is gluten free yet I’ve had other staff say other wise so I’ve come to the conclusion that I cannot trust this restaurant

I have also gotten sick 2 out of 3 times. I found their allergen binder not user friendly. A gluten free menu would be better than searching for check marks in boxes on the allergen list.

Easy to substitute a (good) gluten-free bun for any burger and most sandwiches. The gluten-free crustless cheesecake is really good.

They don't have what's on the GF menu

The allergens menu is in a folder, it is easy to read. Our waitress Tammy was very informative, and attentive! I had the side salad w/out croutons and the bourbon chicken & shrimp entree. It was delicious!

Very limited gf menu and you have to cross reference a book to figure out what you can eat. It narrows down to just a handful of items.

Fruit flies were around us and landing on our drinks. Half off happy hour didn’t Include what we thought. Poor experience.

(Update) I ended up getting very sick last night within 1.5 hours so I know I was cross contaminated. 😭 Really impressed with the manager, I went in with my mom needing food to fight off a migraine. I have a severe gluten allergy (possibly celiac) and he was very accommodating, brought out the allergen binder, made sure my order was completely gluten free and took the time to answer all my questions about cross contamination with cooking surfaces and utensils. My mom was also with me and she can’t have soy (breast cancer survivor) and he actually went back to check on what ingredient had soy in the particular meal (bourbon street chicken & shrimp) and came back with a safe alternative for her. It’s really hard for the two of us to find restaurants that can serve us both without it just being a salad, so needless to say we are excited to have options!

If you have Celiac Disease stick to a salad.... The chips are not made in a dedicated fryer and there is risk of contamination with grilled foods as well. More options elsewhere, but trivia nights and drink-specails are always a win!

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about gluten. Food was delicious - try the cedar plank salmon!

Great!! Awesome food!! Staff r nice!!

The staff was not helpful. The hostess wasn’t sure where we could find.the GF menu. When we asked the waitress about a dedicated fryer she said, ‘ I don’t know- I don’t work back there’. They do not have a GF menu, just a list of dishes with all allergens. Very bad GF experience.

Our 8 year old (not celiac but very sensitive) is newly gluten free and we have been very nervous to eat out. She had a cheeseburger with no bun and fries. We shared a chips and salsa platter. I specified that she needed a clean kitchen prep (not sure if I needed to but out of an abundance of caution). The allergen free menu (as for it) is very helpful! No problems tonight and we will definitely return.

As long as you ask for the managers. Most of them are super knowledgeable.

I called this place last night and they told me there wasn't anything gluten free.

Out of business . Closed location

They don’t have anything gluten free, so don’t bother.

Extremely unsatisfied, called ahead for time to make sure they had a gluten free option. All 4 salads came out with croutons, no one new anything about gluten/celiac, I had to look everything up on line to order. And the service was beyond horrible! It takes me ALOT to give a bad review! DO NOT RAT HERE!!!! I am only giving it one star because it made me.

waiter was very attentive and showed me the allergy menu

The manager that was supposed to take my order didn’t think croutons had gluten. They also have shared fryers and a 12 page list to try to navigate for allergies. Not worth the risk and we left.

The food is always good. Good selection of gluten free options.

Applebee’s is crap. I haven’t been for gf food but everything is over-salted.

Not many gluten free options..

We asked the server for a GF menu. He brought out a binder with all allergen information, including gf. My husband had cedar grilled salmon and said it was very good.

Staff was friendly and manager came out to discuss the way they handle celiac disease and gluten-free customers. They had an allergen list they gave me. I had the add on grilled shrimp skewers with garlic green beans. They did bring a Parmesan dip to go with the shrimp and when I asked about if that was GF, the waiter went to inquire. Upon his return, he quickly removed it from my plate (it was in a separate dish). I had no problems.

Unless your getting the steak or ribs, there's nothing GF here. I also can't have dairy so way limited options. Was handed the binder, they could not answer whether there was any GF breador pasta.

I orders ribs, broccoli and potatoes and got sick shortly after i started eating. I’m not celiac but am very sensitive. Don’t recommend.

Poor service at this location, and yes they brought out the gluten bible binder rather than a menu...

Barely any GF options 1 2 2 4 5 6 7 8 8

They have an allergen menu but it’s really hard to read. Food was okay. Server had no clue as to what was GF

Hostess told me they don't offer gluten free menus, or carry gf food. The waitress brought me a notebook showing what was gf. I explained that I have celiac and asked her to please make the kitchen aware, she did not. Violently sick. I will never eat at an applebees again.

I inquired whether their fries shared a fryer with gluten items, such as chicken tenders. Waitress came back and told me her manager told her to inform me that fryers typically “kill” allergens in the hot oil and even gave me examples such as peanut allergies, fish allergies, and gluten. I was horrified. Don’t EVER trust this restaurant if you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

I ORDERED THE RIBS AND IT TOOK 30 MINUTES FOR THEM TO REALIZE THAT THEY DONT HAVE RIBS BECAUSE THEY RAN OUT!!! SO I HAD TO GET THE SMALL RIBS APPARENTLY THAT WAS AVAILABLE . THEY WERE SO BAD THEY TASTED LIKE CARDBOARD WITH BONES AND I ASKED FOR A SIDE SALAD AND I CLARIFIED THE FACT THAT I COULDNT HAVE RANCH AND WHAT DOES SHE BRING ME RANCH AND THATS NOT ALL THEY RAN OUT OF UTENSILS AND NAPKINS AND HALF THE FOOD IN THE RESTAURANT. AFTER 2 HOURS I DECIDED THAT WAS MY FIRST AND LAST APPLEBEES TRIP !

I always have the Steak and I've never had a problem. I also have 2 sides of mashed potatoes loaded with cheddar and bacon. Fantastic!!!

I ate here just last month and had a good experience... The fryer is a shared fryer so idk why anyone would order chips there so definitely steer clear of those. The waitress even asked if I had celiacs or was just intolerant. I got ribs, salad and veggie.

Stay away not celiac friendly 😖

My favorite thing to get here is the grilled chicken breast and a side of fries for around $11. I have never felt sick from eating here, and the food has always been good. They also have other sides that my family members with celiac/gluten sensitivity enjoy, including the grilled vegetables. Applebee’s has become a place that I can rely on for a filling, safe meal.

The staff was helpful, but I had to review every item for what I could consume. I wouldn’t say they are celiac friendly, but they try to help. I haven’t gotten sick eating there but I stick with Bourbon Chicken and Shrimp each time.

Terrible service despite the fact that it never got busy. My daughter's food came out with french fries (cross contaminated) even though it was supposed to get green beans. My meal had a hunk of fried breading on the side of the plate from someone else's food. They did have an allergen menu but it does not take into account things like the cross contaminated fries.

They are not able to provide gluten free food- it’s more for a gluten sensitivity. So if you have Celiac beware.

Horrible enough said! Will never ever be back got very sick!

They do not have gluten free menu! Not gf friendly restaurant

The staff was not knowledgeable, there was no GF menu and we sat for 20 minutes and got no service. We left and went to Farley’s. Learn from us, just go to Farley’s. Amazing service and food and the staff knew all about gluten and celiac.

I've been here several times before and never had a problem before 5/13/2018 . I usually have Bar-B-Q Riblets with fries and Coleslaw all are listed as GF in their allergen free lists. I always tell my server that i am GF and have Celiac Disease. The wait staff always told me they would let the kitchen know. Last night our waitress seemed to be clueless., she went to her manager, who came to our table. He was extremely rude and informed me that the kitchen would not watch out for gluten coming near my food and nothing would be done to treat my food in any way different than "normal kitchen foodcare". My food came out without the fries, coleslaw, and cold, at the same time as my side salad which had croutons.My partner and I were speechless and very angry.

sorry Applebee's. decided to give you another chance.no improvement in menu. at least the server was willing to check for us but gf menu not really accurate . double check it all. we did get a bunless burger with a side salad.kids menu very poor.
