It was OK. I have to eat gluten free and although I am appreciative of the gluten free options, the pizza dough was very doughy and almost undercooked and thick. The gluten free fingers were ok, but had to use lots of dipping as u could taste the dough they use. Nice place and I'm not sure about the non gluten free options.
For years I have been going to Red Robin on Maple for years; tonight was the first time I was very very disappointed. First of all I was sat at the bar( I never sit at the bar) second, the bartenders had zero knowledge of what was gluten free on the menu. I spent 20-25 mins looking at the menu trying to decide. I asked for recommendations but non were given to me. I asked for the IPad so I can see the Allergy menu… the bartender hands me a 4% battery I pad and it ended up timing out. I didn’t bother asking them to put in the code. I had to settle for a grilled chicken salad which was disappointing especially when I go there i usually get a burger with bottomless fries. I’m very upset about my experience I had tonight; I had to leave just to go to another restaurant… smh… 0 stars

One of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo. They can pretty much make anything gluten-free. Although everything is great, the lobster mac & cheese is not always consistent. Lately the cheese & cream has been Overkill. It used to have a perfect ratio of pasta, cheese and lobster.. The last time I dined there I got two tiny pieces of lobster.. they should have a certain amount that they put into each dish automatically I guess. The french fries are perfectly crispy and delicious along with the mussels, stuffed mushrooms and just about everything else I tried. More importantly, the atmosphere is a long time favorite and so nostalgic as I grew up in the city and have known this place my whole life. The tall bartender with the buzz cut and black glasses makes some of the best cocktails in WNY and not to mention is one of the nicest bartenders, always friendly and accommodating. I always make it a point to sit on that side of the bar lol
Excellent Buffalo wings that are celiac friendly! Professional and friendly service as well. We will be stopping here regularly whenever flying out Buffalo.
Food is fine, not stellar but definitely but not bad. Average hipster-level diner food, which is fine in my book. Very VERY few gluten-free options. The best part is the venue itself. A cute little old diner car with really cool wallpaper and authentic booths, etc. The worst part- the server dudebro who is bordering on disrespectful- just strangely blunt. This was the 3rd time we went and his weirdness has been consistent. I don’t like complaining about service usually, I know people need work and being in the service industry isn’t making wait staff wealthy, but it’s like this dude has no self awareness. It detracts from the experience.
I was delighted by the number of gluten-free options, as eating out is usually very challenging with my allergies. Our server was super attentive and everything tasted fantastic. Will definitely be back!
The Salty Chef's restaurant is a great family friendly feel place to eat! There's a section of the restaurant that is set up like a dining room table area. It makes you feel right at home! My husband LOVED his bacon blue burger. I have celiac disease and this facility is not a dedicated gluten-free, HOWEVER, the husband & wife owners were very knowledgeable of how to accommodate my gluten-free dietary needs. I ordered a cup of Vegan Carrot Ginger soup & Salty Chefs Salmon Cobb Salad. Both were SO delicious! I can't leave out the amazing warm gluten-free brownie topped with homemade fresh fruit compote that I took to go! This is a MUST try place! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Salty Chefs for giving me a worry free gluten-free meal & dessert!
They are good here. I have to eat gluten free which is hard in places like this. They don't have gf bread or pancakes like IHOP. They had turkey bacon which I appreciate being allergic to pork and the Waitress was super sweet and knew gf and said the hashbrowns were ok and the bacon was listed Gf. They gave me fruit instead of bread. It worked.
Food was great, recommended by friends and did not disappoint. Waited a little bit but waitress was super apologetic and explained a mix up. Great variety of gluten free options.
The menu is marked with gluten free options. The staff are knowledgeable about gluten free options and are are helpful to answer any questions. The restaurant has an upscale vibe with a really nice atmosphere! However, be prepared to pay big bucks as the dishes are pricy.
I really enjoy the nachos and onion rings whenever I visit. The soups are also delicious. We usually opt for drinks and small plates. The only downside for me is the limited selection of hard ciders. They currently only have one option, and since I can't have gluten, it's a bit disappointing. The cider they offer is quite sweet, but I personally prefer a drier taste. Nonetheless, it's still a nice option for a quick drink.
Had a late dinner when we arrived and had the pleasure of having Nicole. She was educated on gluten free items, was very friendly and so much fun. We had a fabulous dinner and conversation!
We had a private party here and it was absolutely wonderful! All the food was gluten free and so delicious! The staff were great. The look and vibe of the venue was beautiful and elegant!
We had a party of 6, we were seated promptly, and the atmosphere was amazing! Our server Alexis was very engaged, great knowledge of the menu, and even helped me find something gluten free off the menu. She was great with my grandchildren, and very accommodating to us! Thank you for the great service and experience Alexis!
A nicely refurbished bar. And nicely refurbished restaurant. These two statements are rather dull and uncomplementary for such a wonderful experience that my siblings and I had. The service was outstanding and done with a smile. She was outstanding in handling questions and knowledge of the menu and dealing with my sense of humor.
The food was fantastic. One of my sisters had the smashburger and it was outstanding for her. She loved it and it was gluten free. My sister said the only thing disappointing is the gluten-free bun and she says that's standard for gluten-free buns for her. So no downside on the restaurant just on my sister's taste.
My other sister and Italian sausage sandwich. The menu had a much nicer title than that, but I forget the title. That sister loved her meal entirely.
My brother had the cheese steak steak sandwich. And chalk it up to another happy diner.
My experience was the same as the other three. I enjoyed everything that was served. I even ordered the pretzels appetizer and enjoyed the hot pretzels with mustard and cheese sauces provided and one of my sisters and I took home a slice of cheesecake to enjoy later on.
The prices fit in with modern restaurants and modern menus. It's $131 including two beers, the cheese and pretzel appetizer, a cup of soup, and four lunches and regular beverages.
I definitely will be coming here again the next time with my wife. Excellent job.
