Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

68%
Moderate

Tinker Street Restaurant stands out for its creative menu marked with clear gluten-free (GF) indicators, and the staff's genuine awareness of celiac safety. While the kitchen isn't dedicated gluten-free, servers consistently demonstrate strong knowledge about cross-contamination—especially flagging fryer risks and accommodating celiac-specific needs if you communicate them clearly. There’s a sense of real care here, from a sommelier who knows her stuff to staff willing to walk you through every course. Honestly, it’s not a place for ultra-sensitive folks, but if you’re looking for thoughtful, seasonal plates and attentive service in Indy, it’s a spot where you’ll feel seen rather than sidelined.
