Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Culinary Dropout is a 'scratch kitchen' that can modify some dishes on request, but has no dedicated gluten-free menu, no dedicated fryer, and no gluten-free buns or pasta. Multiple coeliac reviewers report very limited options, shared cooking surfaces (grill used for bread), and inconsistent staff knowledge. A manager has stated that only salad or nachos are safe. The venue is not listed on the Coeliac Australia accreditation page (the only accreditation source provided, which is for Australian venues and thus irrelevant to this US location).

Dairy-free

confidence 0.50 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

One FindMeGlutenFree reviewer noted the venue is 'good for dairy-free', but no dedicated dairy-free menu, marked items, or staff training is documented. The menu contains many dairy-heavy items (cheese, fondue, buttermilk ranch). Accommodation would be on request only.
