Gluten-Free at Ford's Garage

Ford’s Garage has great burgers with GF buns. Not GF fries. They offer GF mashed potatoes, Broccoli, Coleslaw and Salad. The other GF entrees are a chicken dish and a salmon dish. This is a great place for burgers, but that’s about it. The manager brought out my food, which is always a plus. Would visit again, especially if I’m wanting a burger.

READ! Call, triple check, then call again! We did not actually eat here so my review is just based on experience with them not taste….. we tried to plan ahead to figure out dinner for a group of 12- 2 with celiacs…… called at 1 pm to ask if they have GF buns for cheese burgers, best time to come in for our large group, and ask if fry’s are GF…… they said 4pm is the slowest, fry’s are GF, and yes they have buns. Called again at 3pm after one of our children got sick to ask if they will do Togo orders I also double checked about buns and fry’s again…… finally called in our very large Togo order at 430 they told me it would be ready in 15 mins. We got there in about 10 mins, checked in, about 30 mins later I’m still waiting but I get a phone from them to inform me that they don’t offer GF buns anymore… I said okay fine just finish making the food without buns. But I double check for a 3rd time that the fry’s were definitely GF. The lady on the phone said no they are definitely not GF it says right on the box that they contain gluten and she apologized for the miss information. It was a s**t show!! Avoid them at all cost. Clearly no one is on the same page there considering I had called multiple times this should have never happened.

They have gluten free buns that are wonderful, but they did kindly inform me when I ordered that their fries were cross contaminated. While cross contamination does not bother me, I put it in here so others can know.

The outside bartender actually knew that being celiac means that I needed a gluten free bun. There’s an online allergy menu. And best yet… it’s been over 24 hours and I have no cross contamination symptoms

Items clearly marked on their menu. When I ordered a gf bun for my burger, the waiter confirmed it was an allergy. A few minutes later, a manager stopped by the table to let me know the kitchen was aware and taking all necessary precautions. Food was delivered to table separately from the remaining order "to keep everyone safe, happy and healthy". Could not have been handled better and food was fantastic.

Fabulous! Our server was gluten intolerant. I had the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and green beans. I’ve previously had lettuce wrap burgers (they do offer gf buns) and also their shrimp and blue cheese salad with strawberries. Lots of safe delicious choices.

Great restaurant and I loved the atmosphere! Waiter was very knowledgeable about food allergies. GF items are marked on the menu and he said some items can be modified to be GF. My food came out separately and it was delicious! I had the Chicken Cobb Salad with Italian Dressing with lots of yummy bacon and cheese. Other people in my party had burgers and fries and they said their food was good, too!

I called for a takeout order and explained I have celiac which means I have a gluten allergy. I reviewed the allergy menu online and saw there was no gluten in most burgers and the fries. I didnt realize there was a “wheat” section of with a “Y” for yes in it if it had wheat. But then there was a “gluten-free section” with a “Y” if it was gluten free. I had a cheese burger with the gluten free bun and it was great. I started to eat one fry and then thought to double check the allergen menu and it didnt say “Y” for wheat but didnt say “Y” for gluten free. I had one bit then didnt eat anymore. The guy told my dad who picked up the food that he put the fries in a separate container to not touch the gluten free burger, but he let me order it as a side with my burger???? Frustrating restaurants and people dont seem to have common sense. I would eat there and ONLY eat the burger with a gluten free bun

I'm not sure how the cross contamination is but the burgers were just ok. They have so much on them its almost too much for a regular bun. There are not many options but everything is marked. Gluten free options are basically burgers, vegetables, and grilled meat.

We were told that the separate fryer for the fries can be cross-contaminated. We were instructed to order the vegetables that are listed as gluten-free as those are not cross contaminated. The only gluten free bread is the bun. Our items were not marked with a gluten-free tag/toothpick. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of offerings for kids. I was hoping for a grilled cheese and fries, but the bun was too thick for the grilled cheese and we could not get fries.

Fries have a seasoning on them so are NOT listed as gluten free, and the manager recommended avoiding the fries. They do have a dedicated frier so it was a bit confusing to hear no to the fries. They do have a few options here though such as no bun, gluten free bun, and lettuce wraps ish in place of a bun...

The menu has little diamonds for items that can be made gluten-free with some alteration(s), and the have gluten free buns. The server can make an allergy notation on the ticket, and the kitchen will clean an area to cook the meal. The bun is toasted on this same cleaned part of the grill as the burger.

But it requires asking all the picky questions to be sure you are safe. First, be sure to have every component checked to see which parts need to be altered. I got a burger with a gluten free bun, and asked the server to check the bbq sauce ingredients. Good thing, because it has flour. The fries have a dedicated fryer but have a flour coating. My salad dressing had some debris (onion piece, something else), and my server went and got me a clean cup of dressing from the back.

The manager was nice and the server was fantastic. It's possible to eat safely here, but it requires a lot of attention to detail and self-advocacy. A year into this Celiac adventure, I felt confident to figure it out, but it would've overwhelmed me early on.

I always loved Ford’s Garage before my diagnosis, but this was the first time I’ve been there since. I didn’t ask for the gluten free menu as I had already previewed GF items on the website. However, the main menu does indicate a GF menu is available. I let our server know I have a “Gluten Allergy” as I verified the ChickenCobb Salad Is Gluten Free. She said she would flag my order so that the kitchen would know to be extra cautious and double check all ingredients. My food was brought out by itself. I was a bit confused, but the person who delivered it said, “we take your allergy very seriously. Making sure your food is safe is top priority for us. It has to be reviewed by a manager before being sent and has to be served separate from the rest of the order by a manager.” Wow! Color me impressed!! I’ll definitely be back!! Edited to add: on subsequent visits I was told that when an order is flagged for an allergy, staff preparing the meal are required to change gloves and aprons and prepare the food in a separate area to avoid cross contamination. Allergy meals are always double plated and always delivered by a manager. Love this place!

I told the server I needed to eat completely gluten free. I ordered the Chicken Cobb salad, which was noted as gf on the menu. She agreed that would be safe, and she agreed to find out what dressing would be gf as well. When my meal was served, it was doubled plated(some restaurants serve on unique plates), and served to me by the manager who said that it was a gluten free meal, prepared in a designated area to avoid cross-contamination. What a lovely experience!

My daughter and I both have Celiacs. We struggled on our trip to find gluten free options. Fords was awesome. We shared a delicious burger and mashed potatoes and got a chicken dish with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. The buns were so good we bought two to go.

This place was great for gluten free. Items are marked on normal menu, but your food is delivered by a manager, who in my case, described exactly how everything was handled and that they have a separate area to handle allergy orders. The only unfortunate thing is they do not have a gluten free fryer. The manager explained to me that their fryer auto cleans/changes out the oil every 15 minutes so they could wait to fry gluten free food right when the oil cleans, but there’s still a risk of cross contamination.

Ford’s Garage is a neat place to go especially, if you like cars and such. They have great burgers and GF buns. I had a cheeseburger and broccoli. No GF fryer. Side include: broccoli, green beans, salad and mash potatoes.

Ford’s Garage is a good place to eat with careful attention to making the servers aware of celiac or allergies. Gluten Free items are marked on the standard menu with a red diamond. I had the “Ford Signature” burger on a gluten free bun but must be ordered without BBQ Sauce as per the server and manager. Menu allows for BBQ sauce, so you must ask for no BBQ sauce when ordering. Burger was very good, had mashed potatoes as a side. They do not have a dedicated fryer for fries. Caution, my burger came with a regular bun and waitress caught the kitchens error prior to me eating. Waitress was very attentive to gluten free options.

My second visit to Ford’s Garage I ordered a Gluten Free Standard Burger with green beans. The kitchen apparently out of green beans added fries to my plate which are not gluten free. Waiter apologetically ordered another burger for me. Very good burger but leaves me concerned about the kitchen staff being attentive to gluten free food.

While this may not be a safe place for the most sensitive people since it isn't a dedicated gluten free restaurant, they have gluten free options like GF buns for burgers, and their menu is clearly marked for items that are or can be prepared gluten free. The food was very good and the servers will do their best to accomodate for your needs. My sister and I ordered a couple of burgers with gluten free buns, opted for a side of mashed potatoes instead of fries, and each had one of the two hard ciders they had on their drink menu. The food was excellent and neither of us experienced any issues afterward.

GF items are marked on the menu. I ordered the Black and Blue burger which was excellent! The waitress asked if was an allergy or preference. She then listed the sides which were gluten free.
