Bonefish Grill / G/f Bread Basket

I went to Bonefish Grill last night in Secaucus, NJ. It was a pretty good experience. They had a good selection of gluten-free meals and the waitress didn't look at me like I had three heads when I told her my meal needed to be gluten-free. She offered to bring me the gluten-free menu and was upset I had a print out. I had printed out my own from the website.

She went on to say how everything was prepared from scratch so I felt confident the chefs knew what they were doing to prepare my meal gluten-free. I had the Saucy Shrimp appetizer and the Mahi Mahi meal in the lemon butter sauce. Both were good although the sauce on the Mahi mahi was a little bland. They have other gluten-free sauces so when I go back I will try a different one.

The only two problems were small. The waitress offered up my shrimp app. as a good sauce to dip bread in. Which no one did until I was done with the shrimp. I know, a very small error on her part but it goes to show how others don't totally get it.

Also, the Creme Brulee was listed on the website as gluten-free and it wasn't. This was actually a plus on the waitress' part as she went in to check to see if it was gluten-free. She suspected it wasn't. Something to do with the vanilla extract they use made it not gluten-free.

Well, I did get a dessert as my friend who's son has celiac disease brought me a gluten-free black & white cookie from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester, NY. She didn't even know it was one of my favorite cookies - just a coincidence. My wife didn't even know. Anyway it was very good as I thought I would never have one of those suckers again. She also brought me a snickerdoodle cheese cake from the same place and that was good as well. My non celiac wife even agreed. It was my very unhealthy breakfast this morning. I know but we had to indulge when we get these treats - right?

And I concur, their food is amazing... my mom just came out to visit me at college this weekend for my gymnastics meet and brought a cooler full of food for me. Talk about spoiling me:-). I'm not typically a person that likes chocolate, but lately I've been craving it-- the chocolate bundt cake is to die for. It's quite rich though, it's going to last me quite a while (in the freezer of course). I'm savoring my peanut butter cookies, it was all I could do not to eat all of them in one sitting. The bagels of course are great, and I'm really excited to eat my muffins (chocolate chip, pumpkin, and banana this time), and speaking of those black and white cookies... when my mom went to buy all the food, the owner of the bakery said she simply couldn't go to visit me without a black and white cookie... and she didn't even know that those were probably my favorite cookie as a kid!

I'm going to be on a sugar high for the next week...... and enjoying every minute of it!

I also have nejoyed Bonefish Grill. They are owned by the same company that owns Outback and Carrabas.

I did not like Carrabas as well - thought the menu was too limited. Claire

I love Bonefish too, I've never had a problem them but I go over everything when I order and when the food is delivered. I agree that the staff there has been briefed on gluten issues, every time I've ever been in a Bonefish they have always known about gluten-free.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
