Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

78%
Good

The Arrogant Butcher goes well beyond the typical bar-and-grill vibe for celiac diners, offering a menu clearly marked with gluten-free options and a staff that genuinely seems to get it. You know what? Their dedicated gluten-free fryer is a rare find in a bustling downtown spot—crispy wings and carnitas nachos without the cross-contact anxiety. Servers here are consistently described as knowledgeable and attentive, double-checking with the kitchen and even flagging dishes when needed. While it’s not a dedicated gluten-free facility, their careful prep, labeled menu, and willingness to answer questions make it one of those places where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal—though I’d still recommend chatting with your server about your needs, just to be safe.
