Very few to no options. Went here was I was recently diagnosed and waitress straight up asked “why I was there” when I explained my allergy. Would not recommend to anyone, celiac or not.

Hostess couldn’t find the list of gluten free items. Consulted a server who rattled off general guidance that was questionable (stated French fries would need to be substituted for side salad or macaroni and cheese). Having no confidence in ability to obtain a safe meal, we elected to go elsewhere.

Waitstaff understood the words 'gluren free' but I don't believe the reason for necessity and avoidance of cross contamination, or at the very least the communication between FoH to BoH.

To be honest, I should have listened to my gut that it probably wasn't sad eto eat there, but of course I didn't. Got a plain salmon, asparagus, and potatoes, was quite delicious, however within a short period of eating, my gut was literally telling me how wrong I was.

A great place for drinks, but I would highly suggest bypassing the thought of eating there.

I was here for a corporate event and they were super nice about my questions but there’s pretty much nothing safe here. They said I probably couldn’t trust the wings gluten wise. Chips are in a shared fryer. Even the grilled chicken is grilled on the same grill as buns. Salad is probably safe if it didn’t touch anything but comes by default with croutons.

I have been here a few times. I think the only safe items are the salads of course, burgers no bun and the street tacos. No gf buns available and chips for dips and nachos and fries are fried in a shared fryer. Neat place. Just not many options.

The one in KC has great reviews, but this one - no! Unless you like salad (with no croutons) and one single salad dressing, just keep on walking. Nothing else is safe. BIG NO!

Terrible experience. Do not go here expecting anything to be gluten free. Was told the tacos were gluten free but it came out just a corn tortilla, chicken, and 1 single radish. That’s it!

There isn’t much gluten free options on the menu, and the options that seem GF are sharing the same fryer as all of the other food. I wouldn’t mind coming here for a salad and a drink, except the wait staff spoke to me as if I was stupid for going out in public looking for a meal that I could eat. She cut me off mid-sentence just to tell me nothing on their menu is celiac safe.

Most burgers and sandwiches can be put on a lettuce wrap or bun less. Also the fries and tater tot’s are made in a dedicated fryer but just be sure to confirm that when you get there. I had no issues at all. The Loaded tots appetizer was to die for!

They offer a GF menu however it hasn’t been updated. Server had no clue about what was available for gf diets. She also did not seem to want to accommodate any requests I had to make my experience safe. I chose a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun. My symptoms are so mild (didn’t know I had celiac until a biopsy confirmed it) and do not show themselves for 48 hours. I didn’t have an issue but their nonchalance is why I give 1 star.

They did not have a gluten free menu. When I asked the waitress, she said they used to have one but got rid of it because they couldn't guarantee gluten free. She was kind enough to go into the kitchen where they had a paper posted for the cooks about allergens in all of their menu items and a couple of things were listed there as okay for people with a gluten allergy. I got the chicken tacos that were on the appetizer menu and the waitress of course wrote down that I had a gluten allergy. They were really good but I was definitely anxious that there was some cross contamination. Thankfully I felt fine the next day and didn't have any reaction. Disappointed that they got rid of their menu but my waitress was so accommodating and kind.

Not sure about this place... told server I had celiac and cannot have any gluten and asked for gluten free appetizers. Chef said chicken nachos was one of them. Got the chicken nachos and when I was almost done eating I noticed a tater tot was in my food and it was cross contaminated. Had to send plate back.

I called ahead and they said they were working on their gluten free menu but could easily accommodate. When I got there and mentioned I was gluten free the waitress said they could accommodate by “just removing the bread”. She was not very helpful and there was not much on the menu to work with. Drinks were great though.

Definitely NOT gluten friendly. Even the salad came with a huge piece of bread on the plate (the bread wasn’t mentioned on the menu). So if you get a salad make sure to let them know!!! Although, I will say the drinks are good.

Had a great waitress, Skylar, who understood celiac needs as she has a friend come for brunch at this establishment regularly and not have a reaction. She went over the menu with me and explained chips and tots have their own fryers. I didn't react from the appetizers, and haven't tried the salad or poke bowl (should be gluten free) yet but was told the kitchen can be alerted to allergens. There was no review for this location and I was nervous but Skylar was really great and it was nice not having stomach pain later.

Thank goodness for our waitress Denise. We ended up at this restaurant unexpectedly with a big group. The gluten free menu did not have a lot of choices and did say that it could not guarantee cross contamination. When I spoke with our waitress about the tacos ( according to the gluten free menu it said “all tacos” as they were made out of corn) she informed me they were flour ones now. She suggested the roasted cauliflower and salmon. The cauliflower was delicious but the salmon was so small and very bland. I wish I had taken a picture because it was so small and my entire meal cost 18 dollars. I thanked Denise so much but did tell her they shouldn’t be giving out this menu to folks that need gfree as its not accurate although I know that’s not in her control. I was lucky I ended up with someone who was knowledgeable and I didn’t get sick. I normally plan out the restaurant for myself but I won’t be going back. Barely any choices and overpriced. The rest of my group felt the same way in that their food was just ok and overpriced. Thank you for our waitress!

No gluten free menu. Server said I could have “a salad without croutons or a sandwich without bread” neither of which made me feel safe eating here. I’m going to get grilled chicken and broccoli and hope for the best.

So little care today we didn’t order. Waitress scoffed as soon as we asked for a GF menu. Once we got the menu there were very few options, no GF bread for burgers and what seemed to be little knowledge overall about what constitutes gluten free...

I had a much better experience than the other two reviewers, so maybe they’ve made some recent changes. The waitress was very polite and brought me a gluten free menu when I asked for it. When she brought me my food she made sure everything was okay before leaving. I had the buffalo ranch salad with blue cheese dressing substituted for the buffalo ranch dressing. It was very good. I would go back there.

The waitress flat out said they didn’t have anything gluten free and didn’t really seem to care to explore any options. I asked to speak to a manager who said he’d find a GF menu. He was gone a long time and came back with a printout. We won’t go back again.

Not overly impressed! Can you eat here? Yes! Are there a variety of choices? Nah! I will tell you it was the worst service weve had there and my first time back since being gluten sensitive. The Gluten Friendly menu is pretty tiny. I had a good salad and my sis and I split some tots. Their menu is just the reg. menu with "no this, hold this, sub this" jargon beside it...

there is a gluten "friendly" menu that made me and my mother both uncomfortable because the information was incorrect and we were unable to order because of how uncomfortable we were. do not come here if you are diagnosed with celiac or gluten sensitivity or any other gluten free disease.

There is a separate fryer for tots and fries. The gluten free menus mentioned that the fryers were right next to each other so there could be some cross contamination. I risked it as I don't have gastrointestinal symptoms. I felt fairly comfortable eating there.

There was no mention of anything gluten free on the menu, and the server did not seem even remotely interested in figuring out if anything might be. Perhaps the first reviewer is friends with the owner? I see no reason for Bar Louie to be on this app / website whatsoever, and would not recommend anyone who has to eat GF go here. Fortunately, Luxe Burger Bar is excellent and across the plaza. (We were just trying to see if we could get served here faster for those tacos... Luxe was crazy busy.)
