Big Grove Brewery & Taproom

I called ahead and spoke with the chef ahead of going here for a group event. They answered my questions for celiac accommodations and said that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, that they do not toast their GF buns near regular ones (they steam them), and that they often serve orders for people with celiac. I felt confident going into the dinner the next day after that conversation. Unfortunately, when I ordered the server told me that the gluten-free fryer was not running that night. They offered a salad or soup as a side instead of the fries. I do believe they can accommodate celiac needs but suggest calling that day and confirming that the fryer is up and running if you are looking forward to ordering something that would require it!

(Gluten free lens) I’ve been multiple times, and as someone with celiac disease, it’s not the most gluten free option. The times I’ve been, the servers are not the most knowledgeable on gluten. We were there on a super busy day today (Mother’s Day), and they seemed to be overwhelmed and not very available. They forgot to bring our sauces until we hunted them down and never brought us refills. They came by when we were done eating to check on us. As far as gluten free options go, the only side that’s safe is a side salad without croutons. The fries are battered and from a shared fryer. Even a baked potato as an option would be nice. They do have a gluten free bun, but they were out when I was there. I only have ever felt good about ordering the Poke Bowl with GF modifications—and let me say it is phenomenal—but I’d love to be able to branch out a bit from that. A bunless burger just always feels like a bit of bummer, especially for the price. The outside seating is so fun, and there’s a play area just outside the outdoor seating so the kiddos can play while we wait for our food, which is great. The vibes are there, which is why we come back, even if the menu isn’t the best for me and the service has been a bit lacking.
