So glad I found this! I’m not gluten free but am wheat free and am highly sensitive to cross contamination. It’s nice to know about Great Harvest and Garlic Jim’s.
Here’s what I’ve found in the three years I’ve been dealing with this:
Endolyne Joes’s: depends on their theme but there’s usually at least one thing on the menu I can eat.
Abbondanza has a chicken ceasar salad and also a “chef’s salad” (can’t remember what they actually call it) that they serve without the croutons when asked.
Elliott Bay serves my hamburger without the bun when I really need the burger, leaves the pita bread or other wheat based items off my salad on request and I’ve never had a problem when I’ve asked them to check on wheat in their menu items before I order.
Rocksport: they have “boneless” buffalo wings that they will prepare with grilled chicken instead of breaded chicken.
Sounds like corn may be okay since the nachos at Matador are probably corn tortillas. Try Cactus on Alki, they have been wonderful about substituting corn tortillas for flour and are another place that gladly checked on wheat in their menu items before I ordered. The quesadillas on their happy hour menu were incredible (especially when accompanied by their house margaritas).
If fish weren’t out, Anthony’s in Des Moines and Bell Street pier has a lot of nice menu items that are gluten free.
Celtic Swell Saturday and Sunday brunch, lots of items and I just tell them no toast. Their country potatoes might be an issue as they deep fry them, I haven’t seen their regular menu so am not sure if they’ve deep fried any breaded items.
Can’t think of anything else right now, will add more later if I think of it.
