Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

100%
Excellent

If you’ve ever wished for a restaurant where celiacs can truly let their guard down, Burtons Grill & Bar is your spot—this place is a unicorn: a dedicated gluten-free facility with protocols so thorough, you almost forget you have to worry about cross-contact at all. The founders' personal connection to celiac disease really shines through in everything from color-coded menus and allergy cards to kitchen teams trained like allergy commandos—every plate, every bite, is handled with care (and often by managers or allergy-certified staff). The menu is massive and filled with foods we rarely get to order safely—think crispy calamari, real mac & cheese, fried fish sandwiches, and even decadent desserts. Honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel seen, welcome, and finally able to just enjoy a meal out without the usual nerves or awkward explanations.
