There are actually many options here, just let them know what you are trying to avoid and they can work with you!
Olive Garden
http://www.olivegarden.com/menus/garden_fare/nutrition_alternatives.asp
For some reason, they have their gluten free selection listed on the paper menu you can find usually up front by the host stand, called Garden Fare. It says their selections are limited, but you can get their gluten free noodles with any entree, just make sure you get marinara sauce, because it seems, that's the only gluten free sauce.

Buffalo Wild Wings Email
They by far win the fastest response, I got it back on the same day! WTG BWW! Anyway, being an Ohio State fan through and through, this is a common stop for us to eat, especially on game day. This last season I hardly went because I was afraid of the reaction and then eventually we ordered it as take-out one night. They by far have the best wings I have ever had and was glad to see that overall, most of their sauces don't contain gluten, but here's the email I received. What they speak of for the possibilities of cross-contamination are common in all restaurants, so heed the advice in general, but hell, I still eat here and haven't had a bad reaction yet!
Thank you for your request. We do not have a specific gluten free menu. Attached is our recently completed Allergen Reference Sheet, Sauce Nutritional information for your review. Please note the preparation process below for the fried items in regards to the crossover of food. The Naked chicken tenders do not contain gluten and they are cooked on the grill. They should not be cooked on the same part of the grill as the burgers and they should use separate utensil (however I cannot guarantee). You can speak with the manager at the location.
Preparation Processes:
- Our Traditional Wings are a fresh chicken product that we deep fry at 350'F and shake in the sauce of choice.
- Our Boneless Wings are a breaded chicken product that is also fried at 350'F and then shook in the sauce of choice. The same container is used to sauce the boneless and the traditional wings.
- Our grilled chicken products and burger products are cooked on a 550'F char broiler, a grill seasoning is applied at the time of cooking the seasoning does contain Dairy and Soy. The Burgers do contain gluten.
- Our Tortilla chips are fried fresh in the restaurant.
As a note, in the preparation process of all our fried items we do not segregate individual product into separate fryers when they are cooked so there is the potential of crossover of fried items and oil in the fryers.
We hope you find this information helpful.

UPDATE!!! March 2010

This includes our fish, shrimp, potato products, chips, chicken (breaded and traditional wings), All Started and Sides (mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, dippers, onion rings, corn dogs) In regards to the frying oil, we use a Beef Tallow Shortening from Cargill to fry all of our products.
The Shortening ingredient Statement Lists: Deodorized Beef Tallow, BHT and Citric Acid (to protect flavor), Dimethylpolysiloxane (added as a stabilizer). We hope you find this information helpful.
As you can see, their standards are still the same!
Allergen list is posted here! Enjoy!

Email Campiang Response- Bob Evan's
Your request for information on our menu items that do not contain gluten was forwarded to my department for response.
Attached please find a list of menu items that are potentially acceptable for those with celiac disease. None of our items are specifically designed to be gluten free. While many may be, Bob Evans and our suppliers realize sensitivity to glutens varies from person to person. Therefore, a claim of gluten free cannot be made because a non-gluten item may be cross-contaminated by a gluten containing item during the manufacturing process or come in contact with a product containing gluten during normal handling procedures.
The attached list represents the most current ingredient statement and is being provided for your personal use. We choose not to publish this information due to the sensitivities of the issues. Therefore, the requested information will be the most current and accurate. Because ingredients and items do change from time to time, the listing is updated at least every six to seven months.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. We very much appreciate your patronage of Bob Evans.
Have a great afternoon!

Emailing Campaign
I've decided to go on an emailing campaign to all the places I eat that have yet to create a gluten-free menu (or post it on their website). Places I have emailed so far: (Updated 31 March 2009)
Bob Evan's (They have a nutrional link but you have to click on each section, ie Breakfast, Lunch, etc and it says on the far right what it includes.... biscuit, etc, it's not very helpful as we know that gluten can be ANYTHING)
Buffalo Wild Wings
Mimi's Cafe
Old Chicago's
