We were looking for a quick bite to eat because it was late and we had limited options with our party. Only thing I think was safe for him was a burger without a bun. We did not stay because my celiac son wasn’t having it.
It’s what you’d expect with a chain. They had limited GF options. (They indicated items as “gluten-sensitive.”) I wouldn’t trust cross-contamination protocols.

"As America’s Favorite Neighbor, the health and safety of our guests are top priorities at Applebee’s. As part of our commitment to you, we provide the most current allergen information available from our food suppliers on eight common allergens plus gluten and added monosodium glutamate (MSG), so that our guests with food allergies can make informed food selections. Please be aware that during normal kitchen operations involving shared cooking and preparation areas, including common fryer oil, the possibility exists for food items to come in contact with other food products. Due to these circumstances, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens."
Lots of gluten free options! The menu has items marked well.

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.
