Celiac safety assessment and key features

Excellent

TLC Austin is the kind of place where celiacs can finally let their guard down and dig into those fried favorites we all miss—think hush puppies, calamari, and country-fried ribeye, all made safe in a dedicated gluten-free fryer. The kitchen is 100% gluten-free, with just a couple of well-separated exceptions (like the mac and cheese), and the staff gets it; they know celiac isn’t just a preference. There’s genuine comfort in being told, "Just ask us what actually does contain gluten," instead of playing menu detective for hidden dangers. If you’ve ever longed for the freedom to order anything from the boil or indulge in dessert without worry, this spot brings that dream deliciously close to home.
