Celiac Safety Score

58
Moderate Safety

Sayler's Old Country Kitchen is a classic Portland steakhouse where celiacs can find some safe harbor—if they stick to the basics and ask the right questions. The staff have a reputation for being attentive and will check ingredients or offer suggestions, but there’s no dedicated gluten-free menu or prep space. Your safest bets are the grilled steaks, salads (hold those croutons), and simple sides like baked potatoes—just don’t even look at the fried appetizers, since there’s no dedicated fryer and cross-contact is a real risk. Honestly, if you’re craving a big, juicy steak in a bustling, old-school setting and you’re comfortable with some careful communication, you’ll probably leave happy (and not rolling around with a stomachache like your gluten-eating friends).
