Review of Punch Bowl Social

For years I have eaten at PBS, but recently each visit the options and service have been getting worse. They used to have a dedicated fryer, but that is no longer the case. All tortilla chips, fries, breakfast potatoes (standard breakfast) share a contaminated fryer. Despite many items being labeled gf in the menu, most are not celiac safe. Thankfully the manger and chef are aware of cross contamination concerns however the wait staff is not very knowledgeable. Last Sunday I went there for brunch and was made an non gluten free breakfast because the waitress forgot to log it into my order, despite stating my allergy multiple times. When my food arrived, I was very apprehensive of the bread (it looked too good to be gf) and asked the chef to confirm my meal was made gf. Thankfully I asked / trusted my senses and they completely remade my order. However when it came out, there were no potatoes ( just learned that visit that they are made the shared fryer) and ended up paying $10 for an egg, 2 pieces of bacon and toast (they did not offer to substitute the potato for a gf item).

TL:DR If you are Celiac and plan to eat here, do not trust the menu /wait staff, and make sure you speak with a manager about your food prior to ordering to confirm what can actually be made gluten free and if something has to be removed, what it can be replaced with so you don't pay full price for only half a meal.

Celiac friendly?

No
