Celiac safety profile
The Meltdown Grilled Cheese and Tap Room
Restaurant
83 Washington St, Barre, VT 05641
What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Grilled cheese sandwiches made with gluten-free bread (GF bread can be used for all sandwiches)
- Gluten-free bread-based sandwiches such as a spinach and artichoke dip sandwich on GF bread
- Gluten-free desserts, including gluten-free brownies
- Gluten-free brownie sundae
- Gluten-free chips as a safe-side option (alternative to fries)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The fryer for fries is not gluten-free, so fries are not considered safe for celiacs in this setting.
- There is evidence in reviews of cross-contact awareness and attempts to mitigate risk, including mentions of separate prep areas or dedicated kitchen spaces in some reports; however, this is not consistently documented and the establishment does not operate as a dedicated gluten-free facility.
- As with many places serving GF options, the level of safety can depend on how a specific order is prepared and what substitutes are used, so it’s wise to confirm current practices with staff before ordering.
