Gluten Free at Applebee's

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.

They have options but they are limited. I am allergic to corn as well so maybe that made it VERY limited but the chicken and shrimp skillet was great as an option!

Not sure it is celiac friendly plus their gluten free menu is outdated. But I figure I am ok with a baked potato and fire grilled vegetables. Was tasty.

Never again! They have a very hard to read allergy menu. Items that they say are safe on menu, are not. Everything is fried in same fryer. Different staff contradicting each other. Didn’t know what was safe. I’ve been told before they used a dedicated fryer. They do not.

Last night I ordered the salsa verde nachos for curbside pickup & told them I’m gluten free when I ordered. The gm came out to the car & said they’re not gf. I told him that they’re on the gf menu, as are the fries that I order. He said they don’t have a separate fryer. It’s all cooked in the same fryer. I’ve gotten sick the other times I’ve ordered but assumed I was glutened someplace else or from home since they’re on the gf menu & the person in charge those nights would come over & talk with me before ordering. I’m hoping the gm is wrong & that I’ve gotten sick a different way. I’ll be calling cooperate on Monday.

Not a dedicated spot on grill and skillets can be used for different foods still causing cross contamination.

we called to order "to go" but the staff and manager on duty has no clue what gluten was or that they have a gf menu. We ended up at Olive Garden instead

they have an excellent allergen list that is very c omprehensive. being celiac and lactose intolerant nattows down my options. their staff was exceptional in helping me stay safe. it was Easter Sunday, they were crazy busy, they took the time to get it right . these guys were awsome.

Had the bourbon chicken and shrimp and it tested gf on my Nima

Management seems very attentive to the urgency of Celiac requirements. Some staff also very attentive while others a bit less so stay diligent, making sure the waitstaff understands. We had no problems ordering but options understandably limited. Had a tasty grilled chicken, steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. Chips are merely warmed in the store so the chips and salsa were tasty, and safe, as well.

Awful. I got super sick. Please please please don’t go here if you have CD! You will 100% get sick. The staff isn’t knowledgeable about gluten free at all. I got a salad and had croutons on it and told me to just pick them out.

Limited options but what I got was yum!

Limited options and I got sick. Also, terrible service 90% if the time.

Hardly any gluten free options and their gluten free menu is very hard to read

I've had several meals here, no issues.

Staff is Fantastic!!! Regarding allergies, too difficult to read through a manual to determine what to eat. In comparison to most restaurants, they lack allergy acknowledgement for specific allergies within the menu.

I would give it a 5 stars if it had a bigger gluten free menu. You have to ask for the gluten free menu. It was kept in back last I asked for it. I have to eat gluten free and I never had a problem here if I stick to the gluten free menu.

My experience was that The server was not very knowledgeable and the menu was very restricted. Not much offered that was gluten free

Not very many gluten free options here. Was given an allergy menu but many of the things listed as not having gluten are not really gluten free (French fries, nachos, and anything else fried as they don’t have a dedicated fryer). Wait staff was nice and tried to be very accommodating of my allergy.

This was a unique experience for us. There was no gluten-free menu, or marked menu items, but the manager sat down with us and an allergens binder, and went over the safe-to-eat menu items with us. He was very friendly, very helpful, and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable eating here. If you eat here, ask for Jason (the manager).

They have a BINDER with menu items' ingredients. They only had baked potatoes for my Celiac daughter. WHY is it on the list?

Said they had a GF menu. Manager came out with a binder that I couldn’t look at. Steak isn’t even safe. Only two options available and I had to sub my side. Although manager was friendly and they said it was flagged allergy I ended up having an attack. I will avoid in the future.
