Shady Grove

If you have celiac disease or any food allergies, don’t come here! I visited for lunch and ordered the gluten free shady sticks and the crispy cauliflower tacos with a gluten free tortilla. The waitress didn't inform me that there was a breading on the cauliflower and I probably should have asked but I thought it was fine because the menu didn’t say it was breaded :( We waited for a really long time for our drinks and then once we ordered and received the drinks, she didn’t come back to check on us or refill drinks until after we received our appetizers and food from a different waitress. Our waters were never refilled and both of my friends had their orders messed up. One got the wrong side and the other got bacon in their burger when they asked for no bacon. The waitress didn’t write any of our order down when she took it and she clearly needed to. My friend also got the wrong mule. This was a Tuesday afternoon so there were hardly any people in the restaurant and she only had one other table. I ended up eating a taco before I realized the cauliflower was breaded and when I asked if it was gluten free she said no. I had her just take it back and didn’t order anything else because I knew I was about to get really sick since I have celiac disease. Although I should’ve been more diligent when ordering, it doesn’t excuse the service we received. The servers should be more thorough and clarify when guests are ordering all gluten free menu items.

The most unoffensive and inclusive restaurant in pgh. Something for everyone- vegans, vegetarians, gluten free folks, etc. They even had a selection of mocktails.
