Eating Out Gluten Free

My wife and I have recently been dealing with some health issues of our son, and have been busy tending to his needs, which usually meant eating out. We also had some close friends who wanted to bring us some food or snacks while we were in the hospital. It often times brought up the question of what to get that is gluten free and where to get it! I'd like to share some restaurants that have some really good gluten free menus and even some stores that have some great gluten free options.

Let's start with restaurants:
PF Chang's Menu (Click on the Gluten Free Section)
- They even have a decent gluten free chocolate cake!

Red Lobster Menu
- The menu isn't the easiest to read, but my wife and I went there and the service was phenomenal! They even have a delicious Gluten Free Cheesecake!

Wingers Menu
- This is a wing joint in Utah, I'm not sure if it is outside of Utah, but their level of detail to ensure that the food is gluten free is great! and they have some really good gluten free options!

Carl's Junior (AKA Hardees)
- This is a fast food option. The burgers that are offered can all be made without buns! Just ask for lettuce instead of a bun.

McDonalds
- There aren't too many options, but the shakes and fries are Gluten Free. My wife really enjoys the Southwest Salad will Grilled Chicken.

The Old Spaghetti Factory
- Nice for a date night!

Five Guys
- Everything is made gluten free except the buns. All you have to do is request no buns.

California Pizza Kitchen

Carrabbas

Olive Garden

Red Robbin
- The menu isn't the easiest to maneuver, but they do have gluten free buns!

Keep in mind, there are many restaurants that offer gluten free options but may not show them on their menu!

As for stores that offer Gluten Free Goodies, there are several. The hard part is depending on your location, the stores that I list may not exist.

Smith's Food and Drug (Known as Kroger back east)
Macey's (really good gluten free selection)
Sprouts
Good Earth
Winco
Whole Foods Market
Harmon's Grocery

I know this list is not complete, but I'd like to hear your comments on your favorite gluten free restaurants or grocery stores. If you would leave a comment with your favorite place and which state it is found it (if a local restaurant) that would be much appreciated! Thank you very much!
