Great experience for my son with food allergies (wheat, peanut, tree nut, sesame). He was happy to have so many options! Everyone else was very happy with their pasta as well.

I asked about celiac safe food and they confirmed everything came in contact with gluten, cross contamination, made in the same space and same utinsils, not recommended por celiacs

Tuna bagel yum! Cheese and bacon also a winner! Gluten free pastries very good! Cashier awesome!

Rachel Mascola

Friedman’s was a great dinner restaurant to check out, it is close to Times Square with high-quality food options, at a much more reasonable price! In addition they cater to people with dietary restrictions such as gluten free!

Blaine Alderfer

We had great service and awesome food and drinks. INCREDIBLE GLUTEN FREE SELECTION!

Marina Jae

We were a party of four; One foodie, one vegetarian, one gluten free and one carnivore. We were all able to find an option for our varied tastes and dietary needs. All selections were delicious and the milk shakes, which are available with milk, oat milk, soy milk, etc., were fantastic!

Gluten-free chicken fingers are delicious! It's a shame I only discovered this place at the end of my holiday. Everything is delicious

There's really no reason to go here unless three conditions exist; 1. You keep kosher. 2. You're Gluten Free and Kosher. 3. You have money to light on fire. The menu is amazingly unimaginative and, honestly, lazy. The quality of the food is...fine. But this is NYC. So, really, by that standard, not really fine. And the prices, for what you get, are off the chart. Yes, there's a kosher upcharge, but $29 for a burger, no fries included, is absurd. The place is doing business as it was packed with well-heeled UWSiders and younger ones with their parents' credit card. So, perhaps they're thinking why change it if people are laying out for this. Sorry, you seem like nice people. But it's just gotta be better.

Wow delicious sandwich and Rosemary fries - Celiac friendly.

Samuel Cartes

I don’t say this lightly: Friedmans’ fish and chips might be the best I’ve ever had. Golden, crisp, and gluten-free without sacrificing a single ounce of flavor. The batter was perfectly light and crunchy, the fish flaky and fresh—like it dove out of the ocean and straight into the fryer with purpose. The fries? Thick-cut, hot, and seasoned just right. It’s rare to find a gluten-free dish that doesn’t feel gluten-free, but this one absolutely nailed it. I wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10, no notes.

Mac and cheese done right with gluten free options. I had the garden lite with chicken..tummy!!! Self order with many choices. Definitively coming back!!! Atmosphere is urban casual.

Moises Mascorro

Awesome place, especially if you are looking for Gluten Free options.

A Amado

Excellent Wagyu smash burgers. Gluten free options appreciated. Hoping there’s no cross contamination. Might need updating if celiac wife becomes symptomatic.

Tarri Klecha

The gluten free menu had a lot of options. The gluten free waffle was delicious! I have celiac and I had no ill effects!

Mary Alexander

Friendly service, menu was family friendly- gluten free menu was available- waitstaff asked about allergens. Lots of seating, wasn’t busy when we went so service was quick.

A Thoughtfully Crafted Burger Experience in the Heart of Forest Hills Bareburger in Forest Hills is far more than your average burger joint—it’s a place where quality, care, and creativity come together beautifully. The menu is impressively versatile, offering everything from classic grass-fed beef to bison, elk, and plant-based patties that don’t feel like afterthoughts. Each ingredient feels intentionally chosen, and it shows in every bite. What sets this place apart is its ability to cater to nearly every diet without sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or simply a lover of a well-made burger, Bareburger ensures you feel included—and well fed. The sweet potato fries deserve their own round of applause, and the shakes (whether dairy or plant-based) are thick, nostalgic, and satisfying. The ambiance is inviting—rustic yet modern, family-friendly yet grown-up enough for a casual date night. Staff are attentive and genuinely helpful, which goes a long way in today’s fast-casual dining scene. Yes, it’s priced a bit above your typical burger spot, but the difference in quality and experience more than justifies it. Bareburger is a Forest Hills gem—one that honors the art of the burger while embracing the values of thoughtful, sustainable dining

Had the best experience and food with my gluten allergy! Ate to my hearts desire! Will be back!

Kaylee Swanson

This place was amazing! They have gluten free chicken tenders and fries! If you are gluten free you will love these tenders and fries, they were amazing! I loved their honey mustard dipping sauce and their signature sauce was great as well. The staff was super helpful and even helped me find their restaurant over the phone because the geolocation was off when I was using walking directions.

The manager was very nice to let me sit in the cozy bar area tonight thank you ! I couldn’t decide what iced tea to have so they let me combine the hibiscus with the sugar free black tea- so good on a super hot night ! I had a nice dinner , the only thing is I really wish you could have gluten free pancakes at night too not just in the morning . I’d be here more often if you added that to your menu all the time . Please consider it since the people next to me also wanted gluten free pancakes . I’m sure on the regular I’m not the only one who wants this .

Kerry Juliano

Delicious food and great service. Grateful for a spot with gluten free and vegan options.

Guido Colzani

Great place for an all day breakfast and more. The vibes are super old school Newyorker style. Good coffee! And GLUTEN FREE options. I definitely recommend it.

Claudia Milton

Good food but a bit oily. Great gluten free options.

Taylor

Melanie was our server and was awesome. She was very attentive and very accommodating for my mom who has celiac disease. My mom always gets nervous ordering at places but Melanie made it a point to make sure she was as comfortable as possible and had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend if you’re gluten intolerant or celiac!

Ann Matthews

Lisa Lindsey

Had the best meal and my daughter was able to safely try foods she’s never had before like fried pickles, popcorn chicken… the burgers were amazing and everything was safe. There are a few items on the menu in that are not gluten free but nearly everything could be gluten free and 100% of their fried chicken is gluten free! Highly recommend!

Alice Dreger

Did a great job with my celiac and food allergies. Yummy food, well prepared. Attentive service. Loud.

Susan Klein

This place has gluten free bread made by an actual bakery, not from a package. It’s delicious. I got the BLT and what a treat to have a sandwich and not feel jealous of the gluten sandwiches!!! Great place to eat if you are gluten free- lots of options.

Megan Lalley

Delicious, but note their fryer was NOT dedicated GF

Zien Celeste

Great gluten free pancakes!

Xin Italie

I came here with my friend and she ordered the regular burger with a gluten free bun and I ordered the vegan burger. However, they had mixed up the order and brought us out one vegan burger with a gluten free bun and one regular burger. Luckily we figured this out before either of us had eaten a burger that would make us sick, but definitely be careful if you come here with allergies or restrictions.

Jennifer B

Wonderful cool looking place to have a vegan/gluten free meal. The vegan bowl was so goood as well as the desserts

Sergio Juarez

Last week I was on vacation to NY with my family during our visit we where looking for a true ny experience and a friend recommended this fantastic place We had a wonderful experience largely thanks to our gorgeous server Egle she was incredibly attentive making sure our drinks were always full and took special care for our cousins celiac problem she helped us get him a nice meal We tried the Emmy burger the best of my life and the pizza simply amazing Come visit and ask for Egle as your server!

Lisa Carbone

The food was an absolute dream. The service was seamless and impeccable. As a celiac, I felt very well taken care of and want to thank Caroline for such great care. It was very emotional to have such beautiful food available to me.

Garry Partington

They were not very good at catering to dietary requirements even though notified in advance so disappointed with that. If you have dairy & gluten intolerance I would avoid as you will miss out on dessert etc and have a very limited choice. Compare this to per se the day before and they whisked up 6 different desserts!

Mariella Zuta La Rosa

I’m really happy with my experience at Trinity Place! The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about gluten-free options. They even have a separate gluten-free menu with a great variety of starters and main dishes. I had the tuna tartare and the salmon — both were absolutely delicious! They come with gluten-free bread, but can also be served with regular bread on the side for those who don’t need to eat gluten-free. For the main course, I had the duck risotto, which was spectacular. They also offer gluten-free drinks like beer. Everything was incredibly tasty, and best of all, my stomach felt great afterwards!

I really liked my gluten free French toast!

Xandria Berry

This is one of my FAVE bfast/brunch spots. The staff is friendly and the food is ALWAYS on point. They gave vegan and gluten free options.

Bertha González

The place is very large, and the atmosphere and service are excellent. There are gluten-free options, although it's not listed on the menu.

I used to come to the Meatball Shop when I was in grad school in 2012/2013. It was wonderful then! BUT it was TERRIBLE yesterday. I usually don't write reviews but I want to make sure people understand how bad their food is. I ordered the chicken meatballs and they were undercooked, pink and raw inside. It smelled funny too. I ordered it on a bed of kale (worst decision ever) because they kale was sautéed but tasted rotten. Yuck. My husband who is gluten free ordered the chicken one too because that was the only one gf and he was nauseous and sick that night. He has bouts of nausea and a severe migraine because of the food. Thankfully I was already on a strong course of antibiotics for something else, so I was not affected as much. This was my first trip to NYC after 12 years and I was looking forward to eating here. BIG MISTAKE.

Melissa

I had a fantastic experience at Lindens, my company hosted a dinner for a group of 15-17 and the entire staff were super helpful and provided great service. Especially want to give Macky a big shout out, he was very attentive and even went the extra mile to remember everyones names! Food & drinks were delicious, and they were very accommodating for gluten free as well. I would highly recommend them!

S Fleisher

Disappointing experience vs previously. The waiter was so confused. We don’t get our appetizer until 45 min after arriving and our drinks came even later and my fiancé’s beer was wrong. Then previously had ordered an item even w a gluten allergy unable to eat w cross contamination and this time they wouldn’t make it. So strange. But besides that the service was terrible.

Douglas Francisco

Excellent burguer! One of the best we ever had, have it with bacon and egg, totally worth it. Great gluten free options

Joel Balzun

They have gluten free bread which can’t be toasted due to cross-contamination. Frustrating as someone with celiac disease, but fine. But beyond that, my sandwich came out with pieces of egg shell on it… the server saw it, and was like “oh it’s just egg shell it’s fine” and went on his way. Yikes. Would not recommend.

Marian W

Attended a private pre-wedding dinner for 18 in their side room. Attentive servers, tasty fresh appetizers and food with gluten free options

RICK HEIL

Amazing!.. also lots of gluten free options!

Shelly Ward

So friendly. Walked in and felt like family. My waiter was very helpful navigating GF for me.

Marcus Bögl

The Astro Restaurant is a stylish diner near Central Park. Having breakfast there is an experience. The owner is very friendly as is his family. The food is fresh and prepared quickly. The coffee is delicious and hot. There is also gluten-free food. However, the prices are very high in comparison. Still an experience and therefore fully recommended.

Kara Gillespie

Gluten-free fried chicken & johnny cakes were delicious! Highly recommend this spot for brunch.
