Dave and Busters

Dave and Busters does not have much gluten free options.

Dave and Busters opened up a new location at the Natick Mall. We have been their plenty of times but rarely went for a meal. Usually, its to play games with friends. Recently we decided to catch up with friends and enjoy a dinner.

After arriving we thought, "Was Dave and Busters safe for Celiacs?"

Six Things We Learned at Dave and Busters

There's no Gluten Free menu. The server said that we needed to talk to the manager to place any allergy item.

When we told the manager that our 8-year old has to eat gluten-free. He said that there were some options.

There's Tomato Feta Soup, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, Grilled Salmon, Shrimp Skewers, Cabo Chichen, Lawnmower Salad and similar items. (Not very kid-friendly)

For kids they only have Grilled Chicken.

We decided to improvise and ordered a Cheeseburger without a bun and a side of white rice - as they don't have a dedicated fryer.

She enjoyed her meal, adding Ketchup to the rice. She was busy playing games but did manage by to finish up her food.

I don't think it was the best burger she had, but it's hard to beat the food/entertainment. She was fine after we left and didn't experience any issues after eating gluten.

Additional Information

You can find additional information about gluten free options on the Dave and Buster's Gluten-Free Menu 2019 on the No Gluten page.

Dave and Busters is located on the second floor of the Natick Mall, near the food court.

 

About

This series of posts will cover some tips and tricks that I have learned about my twelve-year-old daughter's gluten-free lifestyle in the Boston area. Gluten-free eating can be challenging in any big city, but especially in Boston due to the high number of restaurants and availability of options. I've been learning what I can to make sure my daughter can still enjoy eating out, and I want to share what I've learned so that other families in the same situation can benefit.
