Wonderful gluten-free menu.

My Husband is Gluten Free and this came up on the internet. Was perfect opens at 5.00pm and after walking miles around this glorious town we were ready for an early supper. Welcome excellent, lovely table in the window. Small menu but well thought out. We both had the Salmon bowl. Oh my the tastes exploded on your tongue. Waitress excellent. This restaurant is excellent.

Surviving of unsuspecting tourist! The gluten free pancakes were nasty, very dry and tasteless. I got then banana foster and that was plain uncooked banana’s with whip cream and plain syrup. My husband ordered seafood omelette and their seafood is not fresh. His shrimp was hard! WOW! This place was a mistake. The waitress did not present well either. Your better off going to IHOP!

This is a MUST GO for people with celiac. I had the best experience. They have a gluten free menu, just have to ask for it. And it has plenty of options from the main menu that you can have. Our waiter was very thoughtful and even put my husband’s croutons on the side of his salad just in case we shared it. When my food came each time, he acknowledged the safety of my meal to me. The place is a little upscale but laid back at the same time.

Gluten free paradise! Totally celiac safe crepes and 100% delicious! I wish I could take this whole restaurant home with me. You should eat here!

Terrie Potts

Great gluten free options.

Will Forbes

Good vibe and the food is really good. Also great gluten-free options for people who need it, like me.

Kate MacDonald

Amazing BBQ and sides, very knowledgeable about gluten free and all dietary restrictions. Amazing service and food!

Well, we were traveling today and I was to find us a place to eat since I have true gluten allergy. So I searched for something near me and found this little place. Gluten free options! Yes I said options...I was happy to see the GF on the menu. What I didn't expect was, 'Any sandwich can be made gluten free.' Now that is what I am talking about! Wait staff well educated on gluten allergy. Matter of fact she brought us water and dinner bread. When I told her I had a gluten allergy she immediately said let me jot it down and asked me if I would you like gluten free dinner bread. Amazing! For 1st time I get to have bread when rest of family! I enjoyed it very much! Everything I had was delicious! Gluten free potato broccoli cheese soup and 1/2 chicken salad club sandwich made of course on gluten free bread. They also had a gluten free raspberry almond shortbread. I enjoyed everything. Definitely highly recommended especially if you have a gluten allergy!

Great brunch and lunch menu with great options for gluten-free diners as well.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Hard Rock Café in Myrtle Beach! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the grilled chicken wings and the Southwestern Bowl with grilled chicken, and both were flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. What truly made this visit stand out was the exceptional service. A supervisor named Dianne stopped by my table to personally explain how certain items from the gluten-free menu were prepared. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable with how things were cooked and whether certain preparation methods would meet my needs. I’ve never had anyone at any restaurant go out of their way like that to make sure I felt safe, heard, and completely satisfied when ordering gluten-free. The care, attention, and genuine hospitality Dianne showed truly made this experience unforgettable. I left not only full but also genuinely impressed and appreciative. I will absolutely be back!

DEDICATED FRYER!!! That should say enough for you to get over there! But, their bang bang shrimp (crispy gluten free tempura battered, fried in a dedicated fryer) was delicious! With a sweet Thai chili and spicy mayo drizzle. The fish tacos (gf battered, fried fish - or can be grilled) with a creamy slaw and corn tortillas served with crispy fry/chips were awesome! I had seen a review talking about lack of flavor - don’t listen to that. Could it use a pinch more salt? Sure. But it was incredibly flavorful, hot and so deliciously crispy, GF fried fish and shrimp! Wonderful experience! I recommend putting in a reservation to sit on the deck to make sure you get a spot outside!

I’m not surprised this place had a two hour waitlist today-the food is amazing, and the service is unsurpassed! We loved the gluten free blueberry pancakes, and my father in law swore the turkey sausage was identical to his late mother’s breakfast sausage. The gluten free brussels are out of this world good! We loved it so much we went back again the next day. Do yourself a favor and dine here!

Michael DeAgro

My family loves this place. They have some of the best gluten free accommodations in the area, and their gf chicken tenders are the BEST I’ve had anywhere. Our family who isn’t gf can’t tell the difference. Wings and fried pickles are great too.

Deanna Anderson

Always friendly and accommodating. Something for everyone and they have a celiac friendly fryer.

Denise Depuy

I had eggs cheddar cheese and bacon in a gluten-free crepe. The waitress was very accommodating absolutely sweet they kept refilling my decaffeinated coffee it was wonderful best coffee I've had in a while. The greeting staff was just as kind I got to pick my own table while I waited for my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law treated me to lunch everything was just perfect. I forgot to take pictures.

Paige Rajala Benson

The best gluten-free sandwich I’ve ever had. Unreal tastes paired between bread. Already dreaming of another sandwich from here!

Handsome Sammy and I were out for a walk and suddenly realized that we have nothing for dinner at home and decided to try the Diner since we were only a couple of hundred feet away. I moved to HHI after living in NJ for 25 years, so my comparison to the original diners may have jaded my view. I tied Handsome Sammy to something stationary to prevent him from running into traffic and wanted to go inside, place a take away order as quickly as possible and back outside before my boy becomes restless. I walk inside and no one is seated at or near the register. I start to look around and finally a lady stands up from a 2 person table, looks at me, yet says nothing. I was not completely sure if she had just finished eating or is part of the staff. After a couple of seconds, I stated that I would like to place a take away order. She pointed me to a gentlemen that had multiple things going on at the same time but handling them all very well. He took the order and I mentioned having celiac. He mentioned that a friend has celiac and I could easily determine that he takes it serious and is very knowledgeable. I decided to take the easy route and ordered omelets for each of us. My omelet consisted of ham & American cheese. Handsome Sammy had ham, bacon and mozzarella cheese. Both included gluten free diner potatoes, which are the greatest. The gentleman that helped me out asked if I would like gluten free toast. I was a little hesitant, but once I realized how much he knows about celiac disease, I was fully at ease. He mentioned that he would include the gluten free bread without toasting it and taking a chance of cross contamination from the toaster and may be better if I waited and used my toaster at home. After overcoming the initial interaction with the first staff member, this gentleman was a pleasure to deal with and extremely knowledgeable. Omelets had a larger amount of ingredients, just like the Jersey diners. They were very good and we both enjoyed. I could not fully understand Handsome Sammy because he attempted to provide his rating while his mouth was full of omelet. Lets just say he picked the platter clean. Its time to return and move forward to other sections of the menu as long as the same gentlemen is working so he may guide the way. Photo of Handsome Sammy a short time after finishing his omelet. Seems like a positive outcome for Handsome Sammy as well.

Came here with a friend after some folks from my community recommended it. Overall, my experience here were terrible. Im celiac, so I ordered from the gluten free menu, got sick. before leaving. As I were told, the people in the pool area can get a bit rowdy. Well, they were rude to my friend, but they seemed to be pretty drunk too so. Speaking of, the drinks were the best thing aside from the nachos. Upon arriving home, my friend decided to heat up some of the mac n cheese, well; she started eating it and came across what looked like plastic from maybe platsticware wraps. Looked like it couldve been what the cheese were in. I'll never come here again, maybe for an event. But, my first impression of the place was terrible. The service could've been alot better. Update: threw it away but I want to upload a picture of what was in the GF Mac n cheese Update: I got refunded and was told that the plastic came from the cheese sauce. The lady we spoke to apologized and assured us she didn’t know how it got in my food.

Shawnette Graham

Great food. Beautiful spot. I just wish Charleston would catch on to more gluten friendly options

Ladeegeek Geek

What a wonderful restaurant! Food, staff and atmosphere are marvelous! Quaint, charming and very southern. Gluten free options and not too pricey. Fried green tomatoes - 8/10 Brussel Sprouts - 7/10 - cooked with a little too much oil. The sauce has a little kick. Nice, but everyone should know. BLT - so so so good. 9/10 Cobb Salad - 8/10: green, fresh and ripe in all the right ways. Right down to the avacado. Aperol Spritz - 7/10: The sparkling wine or persecco is very dry. Pineapple mimosa- 8/10: again, very dry sparkling.

We chose to celebrate our ten year anniversary at Husk. We had scallops for our appetizer, that were fresh and light but I would prefer a sear or for them to be warm. I appreciate the creativity of the chef though! I am celiac so wanted to have the cornbread which was a savory delight! We were surprised to only see one fish entree on the menu and that’s what I chose for my entree! It too was very creative with lots of flavor. My husband had the rabbit and while a much heavier and heartier dish, he enjoyed it as well. I think we both would have liked to see more fish on the menu but maybe there is on other nights. Our server was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and aware allergens. I felt very safe eating here with celiac and was so pleased with the options. One way to make a celiac happy is to have more options on the dessert menu and there were several! I couldn’t believe the cake we shared was gluten free! It was out of this world and probably my favorite part of the meal!

Lauren Drakulic

A wonderful breakfast experience! The gluten free French toast was delicious!! All food was great. Very accommodating to GF, will be back.

Leah Camp

Safe for food allergies! Kitchen takes allergy/dietary modifications and questions seriously and our server Ethan was amazing! I had the crab and shrimp lettuce wraps. Gluten Free and Alpha gal safe!

Emily

I’m from out of town, and I had two goals in coming to Charleston: find southern food to try and do so with my gluten allergy. I was pleasantly surprised by Grace and Grits. The staff was excellent from hostess to server. The manager actually read my notes in Resy (gluten free, alcohol free, and wanting a booth) and communicated the notes to the server. When greeting us, the server communicated gluten free options, as well as alcohol free options. The alcohol free prosecco was one of the best I’ve tasted. The chef actually prepared a separate gluten free gravy for the shrimp and grits dish. Everything was delicious, and my only sadness is that they’re not open on Mondays for when I go back to Charleston to fly home.

Margaret Lindsey

Kia was a very helpful and friendly waitress! She caught that regular bread was on my plate before serving me, as I had ordered Gluten Free Bread.

Elizabeth Howlett

We had lunch as a family of five when we first arrived to HHI. It was perfect to walk to from our hotel. We were seated quickly and enjoyed the indoor table since it was warm out. One of our daughter's has a gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) and did not have a reaction from her GF chicken ceasar wrap. Their menu is marked so that you can have an allergy safe meal which we truly appreciated! Thank you!

I chose this restaurant while I was in town specifically because I have celiac disease and they had items on their menu that were clearly labeled as gluten free. What I was able to eat was delicious, but their gluten free labelling on the menu is incredibly misleading. I asked our server if the tortilla chips (labelled gluten free) on the menu were fried in a fryer that also fried foods that contained gluten and was told they are. So not gluten free. I asked if their corn tortillas for the tacos were warmed on the same surface as their flour tortillas and was told they were. So they're not gluten free. This sounds like an insane distinction if you aren't familiar with celiac disease, but I have had tacos make me sick this way in the past. Our server asked the kitchen to warm them differently and it was fine. And again, my tacos were delicious. I appreciated that the server communicated with the kitchen to warm my tacos. But if I had trusted the menu (or I guess just ASKED if things were gluten free vs asking specifics about how items were made) I would have spent tonight very ill.

Cheryl Covington

I went here today with 6 members of my family. We had a great waitress, she was very friendly and attentive. We all got something different as far as our meals, and everyone was saying their food was delicious. One of us had the gluten-free pancakes. She said they were great. I got the Fried Chicken Salad. It was very good. My only complaint is that the bowl they serve it in is not user-friendly. While it is nice to look at and makes the food aesthetically appealing, you can't lay your fork and knife on the edge as you do when you're eating. 🫤 I had a great cup of coffee, and others had Mimosas. The restaurant was busy the entire time we were there. There wasn't a spare table, and people were sitting at the bar. But, the service is quick and the flow of people was moving quickly. We all agreed we will go back soon.

Crystal Coney

Amazing Gluten Free pancakes! Always pop in when I'm in town! 🫶🏽

Sarah Mikowski

Joe was great! We have a gluten allergy and he worked with us and was knowledgeable about the process!

Laura Moffett

Best shrimp and grits I have had in a while. Also, the waitress was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and the service was fast and very friendly.

Bill Ziemek

One of the best "Mellow Mushrooms" we've been to. I got a personal sized peperoni, sausage and sprinkled blieu cheese pizza, my wife got a gluten free combo pizza. Both were loaded with fresh, tasty ingredients. My wife is usually disappointed with gluten free pizza. Not this time. Server seemed genuinely friendly and enjoying their job, not just another college student putting in their time. Would definitely go back if it wasn't far from home.

Danielle Dyer

This was our 2nd time here... We went for my birthday and truly enjoyed it again!! Our sever Molly was beyond fantastic!! She truly made my birthday so special!! The food was delicious! We had the she crab soup, calamari, loaded mash potatoes and the Ribeye!! All gluten free!!!!! And when we told Molly we just couldn't eat anymore she was so sweet and brought me some strawberries and whipped cream with a candle so I could make my birthday wish ❤️❤️❤️ which is so important to me ☺️☺️☺️ We truly recommend everything about high cotton!!

Amy Kennedy

Tazza is my top pick in the Columbia area. You need to make a reservation, ideally a day or so in advance. Our table was ready at our reservation time. Our server was attentive without hovering and he was knowledgeable. I am Gluten Free and there are several items (appetizers, sides, main course) labeled as GF. I also do not drink alcohol and they had 3 mocktails on the menu. The food is delicious. Complex flavors, and combination which I either wouldn't have time or the ingredients to make at home. We don't go out to eat often, but I truly feel that it is always worth it to eat at Tazza. I always leave satisfied.

Kaitlyn Stone

This is always our first stop for lunch when we get to HHI each summer. Last Saturday, 8/3, they were down staff and had a busy lunch crowd. We watched both waitresses absolutely hustle the entire time to make sure everyone continued to have exceptional service. They were both so personable and took time to chat with us even though they were slammed. They even went above and beyond in still making a gluten-free version of their banana cream pudding for me, which I know took extra time and effort. We’ve loved Low Country for years because the food is always amazing, but this year, the service was equally as impressive. Thanks for always taking care of your customers and making one of the best gluten-free desserts on the island!

Johnny Zalaf

Tara D was an absolute awesome and lovely bartender and a shout out to the chef mouthwatering 🍔 for the gluten-free lovers check the place out

sarah rikert

Cantina is always my go to restaurant especially in the city! The roasted chicken tacos are always my favorite! They have so many gluten free options too! The service at the bar or if you are sitting at a table is always amazing! The manager was very informative on higher shelf tequila and helped our group out tremendously! I will always recommended cantina! Can’t wait to visit again!

Russell Vickery

I have serious gluten and shellfish allergies and Red Robin did a amazing job keeping my food safe from cross contamination!! Had cheese burger and fries and no reactions! So nice to eat somewhere where they take your allergies very seriously!! Service was great, food was great! If you have gluten allergies and want a great tasting burger try this Red Robin restaurant!

April Evans

The food is fresh and excellent, the service is prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere is energetic and upbeat. We have a family member who has Celiac disease and Chuy's was able to prepare a truly gluten-free meal for him. Many places are unable to accommodate those with specific dietary restrictions, so this was a much-appreciated service that allowed us to celebrate together. We love Chuy's and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Katlyn McDonald

I live in Texas and Miller’s is at the top of my list of places to go when I visit Charleston. Every time I go I try something new and I’m NEVER disappointed . The cinnamon roll, Avacado toast, the monster cookie (extra points for it being gluten free) and espresso martini are a few of my favorites. The James Island location is such a quaint, family friendly place that my 5 year old absolutely loves and the downtown location has such a fun vibe. When you go, ask for Brandon Procell, he’s the best and makes our experience so special!

Alisa Jones

This is the perfect median between an upscale fish restaurant and a local dive bar. Food was AMAZING! It is family owned and you MUST sit outside on the dock. I WILL be going back next time I'm on HHI. We arrived a little after 5 pm & had about a 20-minute wait. We sat in the bar, had a couple of great drinks, & enjoyed talking to the bartender. Food was reasonably priced and high quality. I'm gluten free and they were very conscientious of my needs.

First time having lunch here and having a gluten free menu option and the waiters knowledge of celiac disease was reassuring. Looking forward to my next visit! Mahi mahi and shrimp were delicious🤤

Jodi Stum

We love stopping at Crazy Mason when we visit Myrtle Beach. I have Celiac and they even offer Gluten Free options. They do have Dairy Free as well. We took a friend a long with us last night to experience what this place is all about. Max, our server was very pleasant and answered any questions we had. Our friend said that she will definitely need to return. Keep up the good work!

R S

Excellent breakfast! They have gluten free options with GF bread for toast or sandwich. Gluten free sandwich was a good size and delicious! My husband loved his corn beef hash. Our server, Christina, was a ray of sunshine!

Dwight Slama

Chantal Z

Delicious brunch and they have gluten free, keto and vegetarian options.

Heather Owen

The food here is great! The gluten free buns are amazing.

Kailey Benson

Best experience ever!. I called first to check with procedures and the person who answered was not knowledgeable about celiac/gf so she got the manager. The manger was very educated explained that they would do the meat separately on a pan as it is cooked in the oven first then fried. He said I can substitute fried chicken for grilled chicken. They would change gloves and get stuff from the back to prevent cross contamination.And that they also have gf waffles that will take a little longer. I got the gf biscuit with cheese and egg and grilled chicken. I asked for the blueberry lavender jam and they got it from the back. It was so delicious my husband who is not gf said it was a great biscuit. It was so fluffy and tasted delicious. Highly highly recommend. My husband had the hangover and absolutely loved it. The servers were very pleasant and had great recommendations
