1861 Local Grill - Airdrie

I recently dined at this restaurant and had the gluten-free chicken tenders with fries. It was delicious! I felt confident in eating there because they had a dedicated fryer and the chef was well-informed about celiac disease (his daughter has it). They used to offer a variety of gluten-free options, including chicken tenders, fries, burgers with gluten-free buns, and were planning to add gluten-free fish and chips to the menu. They also had gluten-free ice cream for dessert. However, it should be noted that the chef who prepared gluten-free options is no longer working there, so there are now limited or no gluten-free options available.

The restaurant no longer has dedicated gluten-free fryers, resulting in a very limited menu for those with gluten sensitivities. They also do not have a separate gluten-free grill, so there is a high risk of cross contamination with almost every item marked as gluten-free.

I dined here tonight and had the chicken tenders with fries - it was delicious! I felt confident in eating there because they have a dedicated fryer and the chef has personal experience with celiac disease (his daughter has it). However, I was disappointed to learn that the chef who used to create many gluten-free options no longer works here. Currently, there are limited gluten-free options available, such as chicken tenders, fries, and burgers with gluten-free bread rolls. They are also planning to add fish and chips to the menu soon, and they have ice cream for dessert.

No longer have gluten-free friteurs so very limited menu for gluten-free, which have no gluten-free grill either so cross contamination on almost any item brand gf
