Despite telling our waitress 3 times I was gluten free, she brought my salad with a breadstick. I told her I could not eat the salad as it was now contaminated. She said “can’t you just take it off?” When I explained that it doesn’t work that way, she got an attitude and put in another order for a second salad. When we got our tab, they charged me for both salads! They did remove the second charge only after I pointed it out. Will never eat here again as they are obviously ignorant to what a gluten allergy means. I know they can’t guarantee there will be no cross contamination but when you have a “GS” label by the meal I ordered and I told you 3 times I was gluten free, I did not expect that a breadstick would be on my plate. Avoid this restaurant!

Your stereotypical Applebees, I’ve eaten here multiple times without getting sick. Typically get the ribs with a side salad.

DONT EAT HERE
Had a terrible experience, menu items are marked “gluten sensitive” however staff don’t know anything about the ingredients. I was advised to check the website for the Ingredients and they couldn’t tell me what was in it as to not assume liability for someone misreading the menu and having a reaction. Just generally would not go here and wouldn’t recommend to anyone who’s worried about cross contamination. They don’t seem to care when it comes to allergies

I have eaten here before but I wouldn't exactly call it a wise dining choice for someone with Celiac If they want to feel well afterwards. Proceed with caution.
