Safety 981

1. Sanctuary: Modern Kitchen

GF Comfort Food

16A N East St · Downtown Frederick

100% gluten-free kitchen · separate fryer

The chicken tenders with Old Bay fries, the fried comfort food most celiacs wrote off years ago, then a glazed pumpkin scone or a slice from the cake case on the way out. The savory menu and the bakery case come out of the same dedicated kitchen.

Three generations of one family run this place, and the whole facility is gluten-free, so the fryer, the flour, and the cake icing all come from that dedicated setup. It's up in Frederick and only open Thursday through Sunday, so check hours before making the drive.

Downtown Frederick gluten-free FAQ

Where can I find a gluten-free restaurant in Downtown Frederick?

Start with Sanctuary: Modern Kitchen. This guide includes 1 gluten-free restaurant, with map locations, order notes, safety tiers, and links to restaurant pages when available.

Are these Downtown Frederick restaurants dedicated gluten-free?

Not necessarily. Each listing shows its current Sansglu safety tier. A dedicated facility, a separate gluten-free kitchen, and gluten-free options in a shared kitchen are different signals. Confirm current ingredients and preparation practices before eating.

How does this neighborhood guide decide what to include?

The page starts with restaurants in the Sansglu guide dataset, then checks restaurant sourcing, menus, kitchen setup signals, and whether each spot has a publishable restaurant page. It is an editorial field guide, not a paid placement list.

What should I check before dining?

Confirm whether the whole kitchen is still gluten-free, ask about ingredients and prep changes, and use the live app page for current safety signals. The guide is decision support, not a guarantee of medical safety.
