Gluten Free at The Melting Pot

The staff was very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten-free options. Basically all of the menu options were available gluten-free. I have eaten there for years and was just diagnosed with celiac, didn’t notice much of a difference overall in the availability of menu items other than the obvious bread and crouton substitutions. I had a great experience and everything was wonderful. The gluten-free bread they had for the cheese fondue was great. I need to know where to buy that bread!

Really awesome. Make sure you get a manager or assistant manager to verify all food is GF that they bring out to you. Otherwise, there is large chance of cross contamination. But great experience and food!

I’m allergic to gluten and was so excited to try The Melting Pot for the first time. I’d heard such good things and had seen great reviews. Unfortunately, that wasn’t our experience. Our waiter was very nice but completely confused. He swore potatoes had gluten but the Oreo covered marshmallows didn’t. He finally had to go get another waiter and they weren’t any more confident. Thankfully, coming in contact with cross contamination isn’t the end of the world for me but I have been sick for two days on my honeymoon and that’s pretty sucky. I wouldn’t suggest going, personally. I’ll feel better in a few days but for someone who experiences much worse symptoms / side effects, it’s just not worth it.

Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and said it was the most gluten free knowledgeable restaurant he had ever worked for. Our food was excellent. They had gluten free bread, brownies and sponge cake for dipping.

Best gluten free meal in a long time. THANK YOU for all the options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is extremely knowledgeable about cross contamination. The staff bring out a portable warming table so I can have my own cheese/chocolate to dip in with my gluten free items!

They have gluten free bread for the cheese, which is a little dry so I like bringing my own pretzels to dip in! But the dippers for the chocolate are AMAZING, they have sugar donuts and cake slices that are completely gluten free! Super tasty!

There are only a couple things not gluten free on the menu (pasta, teriyaki flavored steak)

Very accommodating. I did not feel like I wanna as missing out on anything! They are very knowledgeable including my waiter who seemed new. Gluten free brownies for the turtle dessert were a plus!!

Great customer service! We were seated next to a couple and their screaming child. When it was time for dessert the owner pulled my fiancé aside and offered to move us to a table in the back. When we got there it was a nice secluded area and there was a rose with pedals all over the table!

Everyone at our table ate gluten free so we had no worries about cross contamination

They label all drinks on the menu to indicate what is gluten free (alcoholic and otherwise). There was a big selection to choose from.

The waitstaff was extremely knowledgeable and the food was delicious. So many options and every course was available in gluten free. No complaints and would definitely go back.

Very good. Never got gluten. But why I have it four is because they time you and You start to feel rushed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Over all fun experience and the chocolate fondue was great. However, they were not knowledgeable about cross-contamination and accidentally brought out the wrong gluten-containing sauce and food for my meal even thought I told them I had the allergy so I ended up sick.

My husband and I went for the first time for our anniversary and I was very impressed. Our waitress was very knowledgeable (was about to pour the wine in our cheese, but went back to pour a new one herself just in case it was beer) about what I could have and about CC. All of the food was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was very knowledgeable, but I was disappointed that I didn’t have my own place to do my cooking. I had to constantly make sure the rest of our table (7 people) didn’t put anything containing gluten into one of the pots. Had I not kept very close watch, we could’ve had gluten in the pot I was using.

The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten! They asked when we checked in if there were any allergies and almost everything is gluten free there. They even brought us gluten free bread for an appetizer and brownies for dessert. Would recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free. Did not get sick. Good food

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not gluten free! Didn't even get through the 1st course before a having huge painful reaction. Only giving 1 star because zero stars were not an option. Staff was very nice but not gf! Manager didnt even come by after. They just said not to worry about paying for the cheese and we left.

Celiac friendly?

No

They were very thorough with checking their ingredients to make sure our food was gluten free, unfortunately 3 out of 4 courses tested positive with our Nima detector. My guess is that the food is getting contaminated during the initial prep stage.

Celiac friendly?

No

I only ate dessert here but it was fantastic! The dessert dippers had strawberries, pineapple, marshmallows, snickerdoodle cookies, and brownies. Delicious!

Another great experience! Each time we eat here, we are so impressed by the staff’s knowledge of celiac disease. The menu is marked, so it’s clear which items are gluten free/can be modified to be gluten free. The staff is trained to wash hands, switch gloves, sanitize work stations, etc. We always include our need for gluten free due to celiac when we make our reservation and our server is always prepared. One of our favorite places!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They carry the GIG certification and can serve you a safe 100% gf meal! Amazing. We love coming here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is exceptional with special training for both gluten and dairy/vegan options including avoiding cross contamination. Excellent.

BEST place by far I’ve ever eaten At while being a celiac, I almost cried with all of the gluten free offerings

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food. Highly recommend

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff were very knowledgeable and there were a variety of options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing experience! Lot of options for GF and vegetarian diet.

Very fun! Very knowledgeable and careful of cross contamination. In order for my son who has celiac to participate, we all had to eat GF. We did not mind but, the bread was terrible. Meat, sauces and dessert were delicious! Very expensive. Approximately $50 per person to eat then add drinks and tip...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Most of the menu has gf marked on items. Cheese and desserts. They have dedicated areas and have gf bread for cheese. GF brownies and cookies for dipping desserts. Only issue we had was salad(strawberry almond) dressing was stated to be gluten free but tested positive for gluten with Nima sensory. Everything else tested negative and was delicious.Cheese:QUATTRO FORMAGGIOLOADED BAKED POTATO CHEDDARSalad:Melting pot house without croutons. Was fine. Strawberry almond tested positive for gluten Cooking styles:COURT BOUILLONGRILLDessert: both delicious FLAMING TURTLEBANANAS FOSTERNeither one of us are sick but extremely full!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food is very good, and the staff is very nice. However, I got very sick after eating at this location. I will chalk it up to having a waiter who was training but am unsure if this is safe for people with Celiac disease.

Well, I hope you’re hungry. We had the 4 course meal and now I am stuffed. This is honestly one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had with dining post-celiac diagnosis. The server was training, and was shadowed and encouraged by the GM. This server, Tom, will be going away to school in Arizona, so Melting Pot customers there will be all the better. Ask, and they will accommodate. Seriously. Excuse me while I waddle away...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went with my family to celebrate an anniversary - excellent meal !!! We had a broth fondue & the chocolate fondue.

As you all dip in the same pot, everyone would have to pick GF choices but that is easy to do ! Staff was knowledgeable and menu was well marked with what was GF.

Great evening - would go again ! FWIW, the cheese fondues can be GF as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate the cheese and chocolate courses. For the Wisconsin cheese, the server switched out regular beer for GF beer. I shared a pot with my family that was using regular bread (because it isn’t that important for me). However, the server gave me my own plate with GF bread for dipping. For the chocolate, the server gave me a separate plate with GF brownies, GF marshmallows, GF pound cake, and berries. It was fantastic!

Really good gf dessert plate and they had gf bread too for the cheese

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF menu. Very considerate. I have never been sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent experience. All the staff is GF knowledgeable. The GF is really good. Definitely a safe place to go. Coming back next time in Tallahassee.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious and gluten free. FYI, Your whole group will have to be GF to avoid dipping wheat into your cheese/broth/chocolate.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Since having celiac this is my favorite gluten free restaurant to frequent, very knowledgeable staff regarding gluten free options and the seriousness regarding such in people with celiac disease

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many certified gluten free options. Seafood, steak, chicken, duck, etc. Never a bad experience and have been here around seven visits or so with no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fun experience. They have gluten free bread and are very knowledgeable. Can have almost everything except for teriyaki chicken/steak and one sauce. Everything is clearly marked on the menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We went to the Melting Pot for dinner, and after discussing celiac with the waiter AND verifying they have GF bread for the cheese course and requesting it, he brought out not GF bread. After we had eaten it all, he came rushing to us in a panic to tell us I’ve didn’t serve is the GF bread. They have many GF menu options, but please triple and quadruple check before eating anything!

My wife and I have eaten here for years and always enjoy it. She was diagnosed with Celiac a few weeks ago. We were happy to see that they are certified gluten free by the Gluten Intolerance Group. The server was careful to keep my gluten items separate from my wife's and quickly replaced my gluten items with gluten free ones when I pointed out that it wouldn't be safe for me to dip them in the fondue.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic! They have gluten free bread, cakes, brownies, and the selection of all the foods is so extensive! Definitely reccomend.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had an amazing dinner and time. I did the 4-course menu. I did make reservations with gluten free in the comments. Everyone was wonderful. Addy our server was VERY knowledgeable. She did explain that it may take a little extra time because she had to make sure we had a bread board that was ran through the dishwasher for no possible cross contamination. She also identified everything I could eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Thank god for Melting Pot. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. Our whole meal was ordered as GF but they still stated out loud “gluten free bread, gluten free brownie, etc.” as they set the food down. They went over the list of sauces to me and specified which were not GF and what they could substitute with. I appreciated the extra care and concern!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
