I was looking forward to eating here after an overnight flight because I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and this place had a lot of really good reviews (both here & other sources) about being accommodating.
Unfortunately, my experience wasn't like any of the previous reviews. The person asked if I actually have celiac, which was encouraging, but otherwise didn't seem to care and wasn't willing to take any additional precautions that others have reported (glove changing, etc.). I was hangry, and even though ORD is notorious for its lack of GF food options (it's embarrassing for an airport of this size), I didn't want to give them my business after that interaction. Hopefully I just got unlucky with who happened to be working at the time but still rather disappointing.
So, if you're looking for GF options while passing through ORD, I'd still give this place a try, just know that it's not a slam dunk and you might have to go elsewhere.
Perfect spot to unwind with a refreshing margarita at a busy airport, offering a lively escape amidst the travel chaos.

I come here every time I fly through Chicago - it's hard to find gluten free options at airports, but they have corn poblano for lunch and yogurt for breakfast (and most importantly, margaritas!). The bartenders have always been so friendly; it's a pleasant escape in an otherwise bustling and stressful airport.
Expect a friendly vibe and a standout banana pineapple yogurt smoothie that’s a must-try for a refreshing twist!

I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. I was assured it was gluten free. There are no allergen menus available and everything on my salad should have been safe for me. The chicken was definitely grilled on a contaminated grill. I have been SO sick for days as a result.
My husband ordered a burrito bowl from Burrito Beach next door, and was also told his food was gluten free. The steak was the same situation.
I strongly recommend AVOIDING this place if gluten is a problem for you.

Gluten free choices clearly labeled. Good food and service. The only thing I didn't care for was the music was so loud and that you couldn't hear any airport updates.
Super busy Ohare restaurant near security, but worth the wait if you have time. Gourmet burgers and sandwiches. Portions are not skimpy.
No gluten-free buns available, but the fries are delicious and prepared in a dedicated frier.
