It’s a go to place for me in Watertown for years now. They have gluten free options, very tasty and the staff are good with ensuring there is no cross contamination. If you ask, they have a gluten free bread that they can bring with olive oil as a pre-starter and that bread is fantastic.
They recently updated their menu and now all the gf options are marked on the same menu. The atmosphere is also quite cozy and at the same time with the large windows they have, it’s airy. It has always been pleasant to dine there.
When you need a weekend morning breakfast before 10am and you want to sit outside and there need to be sole gluten free options... Uncommon Grounds has got you covered. The menu is exciting and the food was pretty good.

We enjoyed a late dinner at City Works for the first time the other night and weren't disappointed.
We did not have a dinner reservation, but since it was later on a Friday, we were seated immediately. The interior boasts plenty of seating, and during the nicer weather, there is an outdoor patio section, too. After renovations to the original buildings, you can see the steel frame ceiling of the brick building plus a faux ceiling for the restaurant. The typical industrial chic with numerous televisions is standard, but they do have a large wall with the current drink menu for easy decision-making.
There is plenty of parking at Arsenal Yards, plus it's right on the bus line. It's easily accessible along Route 20 from the Greater Boston Area or west-bound from Brighton.
Although there are "gluten sensitive" items on the menu, they do not have a dedicated deep fryer, and there's always a risk of cross contamination. They do offer gluten-free pasta and buns, but sadly, they only have flour tortillas for their tacos. I ordered the Cajun linguine (with gluten-free pene), and it was outstanding. Their Buffalo chicken dip is also a stand out on the menu.
I recommend visiting City Works for any casual occasion for good drinks and food.
I really enjoyed this neighborhood dive. Somehow I never made my way over here and now I wish I had gone sooner! With so few neighborhood bars in the area, I'm so glad that I not only found one, but a great one. It looks like there is. Trivia night on Tues which I will def check out!
The atmosphere is bright and cheery despite a little sticky menu grime. While you wait they give you the most buttery salty movie theater popcorn to munch on. The food was very good. I recommend the surprisingly good clam strip roll and the burgers are juicy and delish. Gluten free rolls are available too.
The service here is stand out. The wait staff is genuinely friendly and they truly offer great service.
I wouldn't come here to impress visiting in town family, but for those more frequent times where you want a comfortable friendly neighborhood spot where you can watch the game, enjoy a cold beer, and eat some comfort food, this is your place.
Celiac friendly
