Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

We clearly explained my son's celiacs disease to our waitress. She even said she asked the cook if the fries were Gluten free. She even said she looked at the gluten free menu and saw fries. The fries are NOT gluten Free. AT ALL!!!!!!

Friendly and helpful, but I had to send my meal back three times.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their gluten free menu is new, so haven't tried eating there since diagnosed with Celiac 5 years ago. I plan to try it again soon. Update: I ate at Cheddars and I'm not happy with the GF options. There are few choices, only one side, broccoli while the meals are supposed to have two sides. The steak came on a bed of onion rings although I was very clear with the waitress that I needed gluten free. They need training!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered off the “gluten sensitive” menu, and I told them it was an allergy. The waitress tried to suggest French fries and I informed her that her establishment’s fryers are shared and cross contamination is an issue for me. An hour after we left the restaurant I got very sick.

My Chicken Pecan Salad was so-so. The chicken had a section that was rubber and once I got that I was done. It was a fairly small, disappointing salad. The pecans were too sweet so I pushed them aside. The Honey Mustard dressing has horseradish in it so I had to set that aside for personal preference. Overall disappointing.

I ordered the Key West chicken & shrimp. It comes with rice. My sides were carrots & broccoli. DO NOT eat the sauce that comes with it, not gluten free. I explained my needs to our server. She was attentive and I had no issues at all with my meal. GF items are marked and a list is available for allergens on their site.

I have eaten here multiple times without any issues. A gluten sensitive menu is available on request and staff seemed knowledgeable about the options. The burger options are “order without bun” which is disappointing, but the other options I’ve tried (salmon, chicken without bourbon glaze, and pecan chicken salad) have been really good.
