Tony Romas's Restaurant

[macman]

Hello all:

I would like to ask those in this forum (and your friends/family) to help convince this restaurant chain start a gluten free menu. I have cut/pasted my email exchange with them below. You can see they are not in a rush to have a gluten-free menu (but maybe they are starting?). Please help by sending them an email and asking them to gring a gluten-free menu online ASAP!!!!!!!

Here is their response so far:

(My response to them is first)

Guest relations:

I am sorry to hear that. Several over national restaurants are ahead of the curve (Outback, PF changs) have already caught onto the need for this type of menu-I encourage your company to make it a priority.

I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago and they sent me the same reply. So, when I go on vacation next week I am not sure if I am going to bother going there. If they would have at least mentioned a few menu items that would be safe than I would have gone.

Exactly! Apparently they don't understand how important this is or how many people out there are affected. I never ate at a Outback in my life until I started a gluten-free diet and since then I've spent a lot of $$$ there!
