Gluten-Free at Ninety Nine

This used to be one of our favorite spots close to home, but ever since they started making people with allergies sign legal paperwork in order to order any food years ago, we have not been back. This is awkward and terrible, and they are losing a lot of business with this bizarre move.

Minimal options, and wat they do offer is the usual burger, steak, salmon, or salad. Nothing exciting. Was told I couldn't get the steak tips due to their seasoning having gluten, despite the menu indicating it should be safe. Only says gluten sensitive, not gluten free options.

Came here with my two Celiac kiddos. The manager was super knowledgeable and made sure both had safe meals they would enjoy. No GF fries but enough sides to keep every one happy. The waitress put on fresh gloves before she delivered the food to the table, and there were allergy sticks in both meals. Food is what you would expect from a 99. Overall, this worked for a quick, safe option for us close off the highway!

Delicious food and gluten free options. Our server was knowledgeable of the gluten free options. The manager served my entree with a purple colored pick indicating it was gluten free. First time at a Ninety Nine and hope to return soon.

They have procedures in place to avoid cross contamination. Gluten free food comes out with a flag in it. Sensitive celiac and had no issues.

Manager spoke to my husband about how carefully they would cook his GF burger and sides. She even checked that the sides were all safe. Great tasting GF burger and sides. Highly recommend this place to those with Celiac’s!

The waitress asked if I was gluten sensitive or a full allergy! I told her I have a huge allergy so she noticed the kitchen and staff to make sure my food was safe for me. I had a bacon burger and it was amazing!!!!

They take they’re GF guests very serious and even had the manager come out to confirm with us at the table that we requested GF. The food comes out with a purple flag on it to tag that it’s GF, that way nothing gets mixed up. Everything my boyfriend has tried on the menu, he’s loved and hasn’t gotten sick from.

I have generally been fine with the sirloin tips, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. I really never get anything else, so I can't comment on the full menu.

Ordered a hamburger with gluten free bun and they were very nice about it. Asked questions and they knew the answers in relation to celiac. They have a nice selection of gluten free menu items. The cook came out with the food and assured is he took precaution when preparing the burger! We did not get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not G-free, only gluten sensitive. We asked about the kids menu gfree options and the waitress told us they could make a bacon cheese burger on a gluten sensitive bun or a salad...

It was nice to have a whole page of their menu for gluten sensitive. My husband, who is celiac, said there Is a decent variety of offerings. Our waitress was knowledgeable of the gluten free items. We will definitely go back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place! They are on top of gluten allergies and take it very serious!! Foods also great

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten there 5 times. They do not have a dedicated dryer. They do have a gluten free menu but 3 of the five times I have eaten there, I have gotten glutened. I will not be eating there again. It's not worth the risk.

Outstanding service from the manager. It is their policy for the manager to discuss food allergies with customers prior to serving them. Food was outstanding. The hamburger bun was so good I made them double check to make sure they gave me a gluten-free bun! We are not celiac so I cannot attest to the question of whether you will get sick or not. The main menu has a gluten-free section. Beef, chicken, salmon choices. Excellent experience!

I’ve always been fine at every 99 Restaurants. Good for families because everyone can find something they like on the menu. Good American fare.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just ate one of the best gf burgers in my celiac career!! Great service and good food. Do recommend if you’re looking for some comfort food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Manager was extremely apologetic but not only did they serve me a regular bun on my burger they put the stick in to symbolize it was gluten free!!!! I didn't realize it was wrong until I'd taken a bite because I hadn't gotten sick here before. I think I could have forgiven this if they hadn't marked a regular bun as gluten free --- that's just plain bad. I expect the possibility of cross contamination in restaurants but giving me gluten and saying it's gluten free? BIG no.

They have oven baked French fries that are pretty good. They also have gluten free buns. I’m giving it three starts because last time they put cheese on my burger (dairy allergy) and gave me like five fries. And I had to eat the burger open faced because my brothers didn’t have cheese, like he asked, and the cheese touched the top bun. Other than that pretty good food.

Good food! They have a Gluten Sensitive menu and if you tell them you have celiac they will use dedicated utensils etc and your meal comes with a marker so you know there is no cross contamination. It’s great! Lots of choices on the GS menu.

Got glutened two days ago after ordering smothered steak tips. I feel horrible and am NEVER going back! Avoid at all costs. YIKES!

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Meh. The waiter had no idea what celiac disease was and I stressed how I can’t eat gluten. He kept trying to push a cookie skillet dessert even after I told him I was Celiac and couldn’t eat gluten. Not sure he even knew what gluten was. I had steak tips and a baked potato. Honestly, the steak was super chewy and for the $$ I’d rather go elsewhere.

Great experience!!! Got a burger and veggies. Perfectly cooked and delicious. No itchy mouth after!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten sensitivity menu, but very good when I told them I had celiacs. Had a burger on GF bun with side of carrots

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good! Know allergy well and it's celiac friendly 😁

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am updating my review as I ate here the other night and got sick. I spoke to the Manager and told him that I am an extremely sensitive celiac and I asked him to check with the kitchen to be sure they could provide a safe gluten free meal. I also asked for my food to be brought out separately which it was. I had sirloin tips, mashed potato and broccoli.

Celiac friendly?

No

Nice find. Lots of options and the manager makes sure all is done properly. I had a lobster roll and French fries. Fries are in a dedicated fryer and use new oil. The other fryers for other food use the old rotated oil so fried are safe. Lobster roll was very good.

Awesome gluten free cheseburgher with baked pototato. Enjoyes it

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had their summer salad with berries and watermelon with no reaction and I have celiac. I did mention I have a gluten allergy as I find that alerts servers better than I have celiac. However I did eat there late night after a show so after 10pm and it wasn’t super busy.

We were surprised at the cleanliness of the building and quality of the food at THIS Ninety Nine. We really enjoy the 99 chain but this one could use an overall overhaul There were cigarette butts near the front door. The furniture inside was old and all scratched up, the rugs were badly in need of a cleaning. The food was sub-par for a 99. It just wasn’t a good experience. However, we will go there again and give it another try. As I mentioned above, we are generally fans of the 99.

I went there and told the waitress that I have celiac before ordering off the GF menu. The manager came and explained how everything will be prepared on GF surfaces and how my food would be contained as to avoid cross-contamination. I will certainly go back there. My burger was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The burgers with the GF bun & side of carrots were delicious. Staff was helpful & made sure food was free of cross contamination. I will be coming back next time I am in town

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A lot of options. Decided on a steak salad and it was delicious and hit the spot. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good overall, just a warning the popcorn they bring you isn’t gluten free. I assumed our server who knew I couldn’t do gluten wouldn’t offer us the popcorn if it had gluten. That was my mistake though, I checked online in case before eating it and it seemed okay but I got sick later. I’d still come back just maybe avoid that tempting popcorn next time.

I always get the “gluten conscious” balsamic chicken and mashed potatoes and never get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
