Spartan Ale House
Celiac Safety Score
Spartan Ale House serves up plenty of comforting, classic American fare and even offers gluten-free buns for burgers or a gluten-free pizza crust. But if you’re celiac, you’ll want to approach with caution—there’s no dedicated fryer, no written cross-contamination protocols, and staff awareness seems inconsistent based on firsthand experiences. The kitchen operates in a shared environment and doesn’t have a separate gluten-free menu, which means the risk of accidental gluten exposure is real. Honestly, while it’s great they’re trying to be inclusive, this spot just isn’t reliable for those of us who need strict gluten-free safety.
