Walking around after going to the Arch we searched the Find Me Gluten Free app since my wife has Celiac. This place had the most reviews and about 4.5 stars. So we decided to try it. First off the location is amazing, literally across the street from Bush Stadium. We went for lunch on a Sunday so it was to busy. The ambiance is real cool and inviting. The smell of smoked meats permeates everywhere. Our service was outstanding, our server was very caring and knowledgeable. The food was incredible! WOW! Even our 10 month old (at the time) loved everything. To bad they're local, we live in Atlanta. we'd love to go when we have a hankering for great food. But will definitely be back when we go visit my wife's family in St. Louis.
Great service, good for large groups. Our group of 10 sat outside on the back patio and it was very comfortable.
The food was full of unique flavors. They have lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. The sweet potato fajitas were perfectly cooked. Equal parts sweet and spicy.

Really neat place. Waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable! My 8 year old who has gluten and dairy allergies was able to enjoy a “normal” sandwich and Root beer float! He was on cloud 9!!
Phenomenal! Great food, great drinks, lovely indoor and outdoor seating - all in a cute little country store. Can’t wait to come back!
They were also very knowledgeable about my gluten-free restrictions, which I very much appreciated!
What a delightful place! It's so vibey with graffiti'd walls (and ceilings), and an open, welcoming charm. It was relaxed and casual and delicious with HUGE portions without breaking the bank. Options for vegetarians, vegans, and a whole extra menu of gluten-free options (gotta request it). I live thousands of miles away, otherwise this would be my go-to place, especially for my out of town visitors! Loved it!
Their vegan gluten free pizza with the cashew cheese is incredible - and that is a touch feat because you are working without pretty much all the main ingredients in pizza!

My lover and i visit Jeni’s at least once a week and i often find myself comparing any other ice cream to theirs.. Ordering four scoops in one dish to share brings the price to about $9 before tip which is an absolute steal for what you get. No other ice cream can compare flavor or texture wise!! It isn’t even an issue to order all scoops in the same dish because their melt time is surprisingly slow. They also have an array of gluten and dairy free options which i find myself ordering and not even realizing!!! My favorite combo is the salted peanut butter with chocolate flakes with their birthday cake. Truly magic in your mouth
Jennifer was my server. She was super sweet. She was also crushing it at serving the whole place. She reassured me that I everything I ordered was and could be made GF and even put in gluten allergy for me (I have celiac) so I felt very comfortable knowing that she knew what she was talking about. And the tacos were delicious. I will be back
Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had! Sue, the owner, chatted with us and was so kind! One of our friends has vegan AND gluten free needs and they were able to accommodate her with no issue!
Over 3 days in St Louis, I ate at:
* Salt + Smoke (Delmar Blvd)
* Pappy’s Smokehouse
* Sugarfire Smokehouse
Pappy’s had the best sausage, and the pickles were really good. It felt a little cheap that the pickles cost money. The brisket was very finely shaved - almost a roast beef. The ribs were really good, my favorite of the 2 places I had them. I liked their sauce, but the take out container was cheap and hard to re-seal.
Good gluten free gf options.
Excellent smoothies & acai bowls - custom to your order preference!
Coconut, almond or oat milk options+ swap out or add to base or toppings - try out new combinations!
Waffles are available in Gluten-Free!
Brisket is fire. Service is great, but I was annoyed by the staff member who kept referring to me as "friend" (I don't even know her). The atmosphere is fine, not special but clean. Baked beans and fries are also very good. I have a gluten allergy and don't get sick eating here!!
I had heard nothing but great things. I decided to come as they had gluten free options and it’s rare to find a place with a GF hot dog bun.
The gentleman who took our order was very nice and the food came out efficiently. The taste of the food (2 dogs and a brat, two fries) were great, my nieces enjoyed theirs a lot. Mine tasted great, although the GF option isn’t really a hot dog bun…it was more like a sub sandwich bun. Within an hour of leaving this place I was SO SICK. Nausea and severe stomach pains - which is what happens if I am accidentally exposed to a fair amount of gluten. While I understand this is not a dedicated gluten free restaurant, I have eaten at many other places that are not either. I suspect Steve’s Hot Dog cross contamination practices are very lax & this is disappointing. If you’re going to offer GF items, you need to be knowledgeable and attempt to at least not make people sick!
Before we left, we waited to use the rest room (one was out of order). An employee came out and he had the worst smelling B.O. I have ever experienced. We were gagging in the bathroom. It sort of grosses you out when you know someone is working in the kitchen and they have a body odor issue like that.
One of my favorite Bars/Restaurants ever. The decor, atmosphere, service, drinks, and food are all top notch! I have celiacs and there are more gluten free options than not which is hard to come by. Super safe, I go here all the time and have never gotten sick. Highly recommend!
We tried this place due to its reputation for gluten free options. Hubby got the King roast beef sandwich and he got enough roast beef for 3 sandwiches. He LOVED their gluten free bun. They also have a dedicated fryer for French fries. I had the gluten free chicken strips that tasted fine but the portion was skimpy. I think others with larger appetites might leave hungry. The salad on the other hand was fresh and huge. I could only eat half. This was the first time at a Lion's Choice and 2 counter people were a bit rude when I didn't know I was supposed to take my salad out of the cooler and for another incident. Also, none of the sauces or dressings are listed in the nutrition guide. For a business that does such a great job addressing gluten issues, I was surprised they are ignoring possible allergy issues in this part of their menu. We will probably eat her again but we won't my rushing back.
