Has anyone tried Dr. Dawg on Port Washington Road in Glendale? I was doing some investigating since I have seminar near there next week. I called and the gal was super nice. She happily rattled off GF: Hamburger buns, hot dog buns, burgers, brats, dogs, italians, kolby beef and salami. (all sausage is homemade.) And FRIES! She said they are awesome, home made, soaked in water and deep fried in dedicated fryer. People who are GF stop in to purchase them by the ‘bag’ (yes they sell them cooked by the bag full!) I will see if they have a seperate GF menu. Made my day!
PS Any “typo’s” I had – is just because I am so excited to have found this site.
Hui’s chinese is Wauwatosa does not have a GF menu. Rose and her brother are very familiar with GF. I bring my own GF soy sauce and have never had a reaction. Chicken and shrimp is safe. Pork and beef is marinated in regular soy sauce. And nothing deep fried is safe. They have great Saturday lunch plates.

Thanks for the info!
Mo’s in Tosa…has good food. Be leary of the GF menu. They’ve told me they can NOT guarantee the GF foods not getting cross contaminated. Server was nice, but, again uneducated — I can’t take the chance.
Mo’s didn’t make my list because of the issues with their “GF” menu. Some gluten intolerant friends eat there, but after hearing from them about their own concerns with keeping things GF, I’ve skipped it and had a cider instead.
Sarah – I am so happy my friends saw your great write up in the Cue Food section. I have celiac disease..Easter will be 3 yrs. your recipes and blog have given me my enthusiasm to cook back!
You have a restaurant listed that you have NOT tried. I have, love the place and the people, but last 3 visits my GF dinner left me sick. Last lunch I ended up in the ER. Besides being sick for Christmas, having a large medical bill I’ve been torn on what to do with the restaurant…I do NOT want others to get sick.
Hope to talk more. Thanks so much,
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for stopping by, so glad you found me!
And it makes my day to hear you are back to cooking again.
If you’d prefer, you can send me a private message: celiacinthecity@gmail.com But I definitely want to know about your experience and I feel it is our job to help our little community, so let’s chat!
Marty’s Pizza in Brookfield now has a 10″ gluten free pizza! Delicious!
REALLY? I thought they would NEVER catch on at that location, yay!!
Just ate at Casa Di Gorgio in Franklin yesterday. Great pasta dish. However was not impressed with their pizza. My current favorite pizza is at Classic Slice in Bay View or Mia Famiglia
Mo’s Irish Pub downtown has a gluten free menu. I am not sure about Wauwatosa, though. I am also not sure about the fryer situation, but they do have gluten free bread for burgers and sandwiches.
El Fuego (on Layton by the airport) has a gluten free menu. They do note on their menu that their cheese is not gluten free.
Kil@wat does not have a gluten free menu, but will work with you. Same with Ward’s House of Prime and Mason Street Grill downtown.
Thanks for the tips, Stacie — word of caution… Mo’s has a big disclaimer on their menu that their main ingredients listed do not contain gluten, but other ingredients may, it wasn’t enough for me to feel safe to eat there.
I ate at MO’s down town and loved it. no issues, friendly staff – manager came out… the whole nine yards
Went to Tosa and not only did I get extremely sick, but they were rude and for a place that has a DEDICATED G-F menu, were EXTREMELY uneducated even the manager came up to me and rudely said what are you complaining about all our breads are gluten free, and 20 min later came back and said sorry I am from ohio where we ONLY serve gluten free breads and did not know Wisconsin does- but his TONE of sorry was condescending and he was just a plain ASS.
Thanks for letting me know. I have not had a problem downtown, but I haven’t eaten at the one in Tosa. Downtown has a dedicated fryer. Kil@wat now has a gluten free menu, but it’s basically taking items from their regular menu that are gluten free. They totally work with you to subsitute whatever you want. Their menu changes often enough, too, kind of like Tess.
