Steaks are cut fresh and are not marinated or pre-seasoned.  You can order without seasonings or bastings.  The butter for the potatoes is real and gluten free.  Salads are nice and without croutons.  They shred their own cheese so pile it on!  Beef tips are pre-seasoned / pre-marinated so avoid those.  Last review - mid-2003.  Please ask for their GF menu.  The shrimp appertizer is gf but comes on toast points.  Not good.  Jan 2009

Casual, relaxed family-run restaurant.  Dinners under $13.  Thai soy suace used for cooking is gf but do not use the soy sauce on the table.  The Chicken Satay and Crispy Tofu are GF.  Salads are GF with the Thai dressing.  All the noodles, rice and stir-fry dishes must omit the oyster sauce.  Curry dishes are GF.  If you want a soup you should bring your own GF chicken broth.  Omit the crab from the Hot Soup Sea Food.  Omit the meatballs if ordering Thai Beef Noodle Soup.  Last review - early 2004.

Louisville, KY 40203

This restaurant in Old Louisville has entrees ranging in price from $5.75 to $7.00 and has a wide variety of items.  The owner is most willing to accommodate the GF diners if they call ahead of time.  She is willing to bake up a batch of GF bread and keep it in the freezer just for our use.  The wait staff was friendly and competent.  Last review - mid-2003.
Tony Roma's has confirmed that the following barbacue sauces are GF:  Original, Carolina Honey, Red Hots, and Blue Ridge Smokies.  Also GF are the cole slaw, all salad dressings, and ranch style beans.  A member found out that their Barbeque Half Chicken and the marinated Southwestern Chicken are also GF.  Last review - pre 2006.  Some steaks have bread crumbs.  Ask about garnishments - June 2009

Wendy's provides nutrition information on their web page.  Wendy's has a large poster on the wall of their store with nutritional info for all of their items.  It lists allergen info clearly, so it is easy to see what is GF and what is not!  July 2009
