Although they aren’t as prominent as they once were, it seems that there are still a large number of Denny’s restaurants scattered throughout the United States. As a result, you’d assume they had a prominent gluten-free menu listed somewhere on their official website. Unfortunately, a review of their official website doesn’t list a gluten-free menu, but instead a nutrition/allergens listing, which can be viewed here.

As always, when dining out gluten-free, do your due diligence and make sure the staff understands your needs. There are very few restaurants that are 100% gluten-free, so cross-contamination is always a risk. If you don’t feel comfortable with what you are hearing from the staff, perhaps it is best to dine elsewhere.

I was apprehensive about ordering the gf pizza, because after 44 years on the gf diet, I still thought, “What if they get the pizzas mixed up and I get one with gluten. I can’t afford to get sick!” I always tell the hostess that I want a gf menu which saves time and works out best from my experience. The hostess whipped out a colorful gf menu. I then explained my apprehension to my waitress. She assured me that the manager would serve my gf pizza, which should dispel my greatest fears! The manager not only served my gf pizza, but he assured me that UNOS has a dedicated corner of their kitchen just for preparing gluten-free meals in order to avoid cross-contamination. That was great news!
Just make sure to ask for the lettuce wrap in place of the bun on any of these burgers..
In the meantime, I will keep an eye on the official Taco Bell website for a gluten-free menu. Once one is posted, I will be sure to get this post updated with their official gluten-free information!
