Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Alex's in Poughkeepsie, NY, marks gluten-free items on the menu and has knowledgeable staff, including an owner whose sister eats gluten-free. However, the kitchen is shared and there are contradictory reports about a dedicated fryer. The venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Call ahead to discuss your needs.

Honest caveat: Community reports are contradictory on whether there is a dedicated fryer; one symptomatic coeliac reported no dedicated fryer.
