Restaurant Review: Margaritaville



The nearest Margaritaville to where I live, is inside Mohegan Sun Casino. I have been to this restaurant several times in my life. Margaritaville is one restaurant that is Celiac-friendly. They have a separate gluten free menu for us, with several options, including margaritas, volcano nachos, and even a brownie dessert.

Today, my boyfriend and I went to Margaritaville for lunch. When I asked for the gluten free menu, I did NOT get the eye roll, which was a relief. We were seated, and, after looking at my menu for 30 seconds, I already knew what I wanted: Cheeseburger in Paradise, with french fries. The cheeseburger in paradise comes with a gluten free hamburger bun. When it was time to order, I told the waitress that I have Celiac Disease, and need to be gluten free. She understood, and took my order. When the food arrived, I was excited. It's rare for a Celiac to have burgers and fries at a restaurant.

The burger was outstanding. The fries were amazing. The only bad note I have about Margaritaville, is that I could not use the ketchup for my burger and fries. I checked the bottle at the table, and it did not have gluten free on it.

So, if you go to Margaritaville, be careful of that. Some ketchup types have hidden gluten in it. If it does not say gluten free, do not eat it!

All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. I had a delicious margarita, a fantastic meal, and I enjoyed it with the love of my life. As a Celiac, I am confident in recommending this restaurant to you all! I am a sensitive Celiac, so, if I don't get sick from it, no one else will, LOL!

In the words of Jimmy Buffett, "Head on down to Margaritaville!"
