Why has Sedona Taphouse chosen to offer gluten free options?
We offer gluten free items to make sure we are diverse when it comes to dietary restrictions and allergy restrictions. It is important for us to have a wide variety of options available to accommodate all guests requests.
Is your menu also free from any other allergens?
At Sedona Taphouse we take all dietary restrictions/allergies into account and we have an option available to anyone that walks through the door.
We train our staff from the onset of greeting to make sure to note any allergies before the food ticket has been rang in. Then, managers confirm the order. They communicate with the kitchen to make sure that dish has been prepared correctly and safely.
What kind of oil do you use for frying/ cooking?
The oil used is a blended highly refined edible oil and we have the allergen statement posted from the company we get it from on our expo line for easy staff access to ensure communication with our guests on potential allergy inquiries or concerns.
Do you use gluten free wheat starch or oats in your gf meals?
Our base for a lot of our gluten free products (bun, pasta or flatbread) is typically a combination of corn, rice or potato.
We also carry a gluten free breading which is made from an all-purpose gluten free flour with garbanzo bean and tapioca flour. Popular items from our gluten free flour include: Buffalo cauliflower, Walleye Piccata (gluten free option), and our Kid Chicken tenders.
Do you have a separate gluten free menu?
Our main menu notates our gluten free options with either “GF” which means it is already gluten free or “GFO”, which means there is an option to make it gluten free.
Do you have a separate prep area for gluten free dishes?
We prep our items gluten free and always change gloves and wash hands in order to maintain any potential of cross contamination. We also use a separate sanitizer and cutting board for gluten free items.
What steps do you take to prevent cross contact in the kitchen?
- Do staff change gloves for gluten free orders?

What training do your staff receive on preparing GF meals safely?
From the order taker, to the kitchen, one of our main focuses is cross contamination, allergies or dietary restrictions. We train our entire staff on the process of the order taking to the order preparing to the order being served.
We have multiple posters in our kitchen area as well to further ensure communication and the follow-through process is observed. It starts with clear communication from the server with the guest, to the manager working in the kitchen, then to the staff before the ticket is sent back.
All managers have easy access to every recipe in order to confirm if the dish contains any of the allergies communicated to the server.
Do you have picks or special plates that denote a GF meal?
We do have gluten free picks and also use separate plates to denote gluten free items.
Do you have gluten free vegetarian or vegan options?
Just like our gluten free items, vegetarian (V), vegetarian option (VO), vegan (V+),vegan option(VO+) are also denoted on our menu.
Is there an upcharge for gluten free items, and is it noted on your menu?
Not all gluten free meal options have a extra charge. However, a gluten free burger carries a charge of $1 for the bun, and it also denoted on the menu.
What’s your most popular gluten free menu item?
We have a lot of gluten free options so it is hard to say what is the most popular but here are the top 3: Gluten free pasta dishes, gluten free burgers, & gluten free flatbreads.
Do you offer gluten free desserts?
Currently we have one gluten free option on our dessert menu which is the chocolate decadence, a very popular item. We also run specials every month, which varies from menu to menu.
Do you offer gluten free beer/ hard cider/ wine?
Being a taphouse, we have a wide variety of selections. We have separate section for our hard ciders and also a section for gluten free beer options.
We also like to put together wine, beer and hard cider events, typically centered around a food offering or pairing.
Do you have patio seating? Are dogs allowed outside?
We do have a patio and we only allow service dogs.
What unique events do you have at your restaurant? Karaoke? Trivia? Concerts?
We like to do live music on our patio during the summer. We always have a large anniversary party where we raffle off prizes and offer discounts to guests. It is usually in April or May on a Tuesday.
We try to put together the best gift baskets in order to raise the most money for a local charity that is picked for the event. Since we work closely with charities every month of the year, we either run with the charity of the month or one that is close to our hearts.
Partnering with local charities is integral to our business model. Every month we choose a local charity to support every Monday. We offer a discount on our hand cut salmon or our flat iron steak. A $1 from every salmon or steak sold throughout the Mondays of the month goes to that charity.
Do you offer weekly deals? Kids half off? Lunch deals? Happy Hour? Any other deals?
Along with our charity Monday deals, we do our wine down Wednesday where you can choose from a wide variety of wines to purchase at ½ off the price of the bottle, which is available for selections under $50. If the bottle is over $50, we still offer a $20 discount. This offer is also available every day to go as well.
We also offer happy hour pricing from Monday to Friday from 2-5:30 pm, which includes select discounted food options and drinks. I’m a little biased but you would be hard pressed to find a better happy hour than ours.
Do you have parking on premises? Any tips on traveling to your business?
(This interview is being done with management at the Novi, Michigan Sedona Taphouse location.) Since we are connected to Twelve Oaks Mall, we share the mall parking lot. We are located in between JC Pennry and Macy’s on the Southwest side of the mall.
