Excellent Meal And Service At Chevy's

Last Saturday, I went with my family to Chevy's in Princeton. I googled it before we went to see if they had a gluten-free menu and low and behold, they did! You can find it here >> Open Original Shared Link

Sometimes service at our Chevy's can be spotty and slow, and while I wouldn't call the service this time around speedy, it was very attentive to my gluten free needs. We asked the waitress for a gluten-free menu and she said Chevy's didn't have one, but she could bring the manager out to talk to me and she would oversee the meal. The waitress reappeared a few minutes later and said the manager was actually printing off the gluten-free menu and would come over to talk me through it, which she did.

My order--crispy chicken tacos--was highlighted on the order as being gluten free. The manager and the waitress double-checked it before it was brought to the table. And it was scrumptious! Better yet, it didn't make me sick.

I hope this wasn't a fluke. I was a little surprised by how great everything was, but I will certainly be making a return visit.

I envy you. I went to the Chevy's on Times Square and violently ill. :( Hopefully mine was the exception to the rule.

I guess you got lucky. The Chevy's here was just nasty. It's closed now. I've eaten at two other ones in CA and never once got anything that tasted good.

HaHa :blink: I looked at the Chevy's gluten free menu and there was zero,nothing, nada I could eat :blink: I have the same trouble at PF Changs, Pei Wei, and on and on ad nauseum. However, I did order a lovely lunch out the other day of roast pumpkin and goat cheese risotto :) No ethnic restaurants for this gal. :P

Well, well....this is an improvement! Chevy's is the only restaurant that has ever invited me "to eat elsewhere." Yes, they suggested that I leave because they felt they couldn't accommodate my gluten-free diet. I actually cried....I felt so devalued. I've never set foot in another Chevy's since then.

However, I'll check out the menu and see what's what. Thanks for posting this information. It's good to see that inroads are being made with this very intolerant restaurant chain.

Some Chevys seem to be owned by different people. I have heard there are some in Missouri that have a gluten-free menu but it wasn' t companywide.

The above link is for the ones in Missouri. They have a separate owner or franchisee. You can't expect every Chevy's to honor that if it's not a corporate wide policy. Some may choose for legal, cost or other reasons not to honor the Missouri menu.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
