The Tavern Grill Apple Valley

Went here for dinner and had high hopes. They have good reviews for GF and have an allergen menu with clearly stated what is gluten free or not. Of note, they do NOT have a separate gluten free fryer. I told my server I have celiac and emphasized to tell the kitchen I have a gluten allergy and to be extra cautious. My burger came out with a side of fries. Remember, they don’t have a gluten free fryer. They apologized and went to remake it. Then my side salad came out with croutons. At that moment I was mortified. Definitely did not trust them AT ALL. I would have walked out but unfortunately the person I was with had gotten her food so I felt stuck/trapped. My server was sweet and told the manager who talked to me and apologized. My server did mark everything correct, it was the kitchens mistake. They corrected their mistake (we’ll see how well they did with CC based on my reaction later.. but so far I suspect likely CC because I’m having subtle signs). I appreciate that they corrected it and apologized but I’ll be honest I expected a discount, or for my meal to be comped and neither happened. I paid full price for my meal and tipped my server 20% because it was not her fault at all. Overall I will never be back and would definitely NOT recommend this to anyone with celiac. Very frustrating experience.

Just came here for the first time on Monday 7/24 for lunch for a five top. I loved the building and the patio is awesome. The food was really good! Even enjoyed a mockail. The only thing was slowish service but I understand you’re understaffed but everyone was so nice and did a great job. I appreciate the clear allergy menu and so many gluten free options! Thanks, we’ll definitely be back, it’s nice to find a good place so close by- and yes, the portions are huge.
