This was the best gluten free burger I've ever had. Gluten free buns aren't normally very good but this was amazing. My wife got one of their salmon entrees and loved it as well. We got in faster than we thought and our server was attentive and friendly.
Chimney Rock takes food sensitivities very seriously. As a parent of a child with celiac disease, Chimney Rock provides a safe place for my child to eat and feel like any other kid.
When we originally called to talk to them about how they handle food, the first person we spoke to answered confidently that they properly separate food prep areas for people with celiac or other gluten sensitive conditions. This told me they train their staff on this subject. They have a ton of gluten free meals, including pizza.
The first time we ate here after my child's diagnosis we had so many questions. Our waitress was patient, wrote down everything, double checked with the kitchen and management, and came back to our table multiple times to make sure everything we asked was answered to our satisfaction.
Honestly I can't say enough good things about Chimney Rock Inn. We ate here a bunch of times before celiac and it's been good food and service consistently over the years. Eat here. Bring your family. You'll not regret it.
Almost killed our friend with celiac. Got there at 6:30, didn’t receive food until 8:00. Food received was cold and not appetizing. Never came over to tell us what the issue was and left us hungry.
I have been coming to Plum bakery for many years now. Love the country bread, dulce de leche, quiche, corn bread, cinnamon bagel, all! It will be love at first sight when you enter the bakery, as the sweet smell will enchant you! Thank you for providing delicious and healthy 100% gluten free bakery!
ps: as there is no gluten and no preservatives, make sure you store anything you buy on a sealed container or freeze them (I slice and freeze my country bread) and will last for some time! Enjoy it!
Love true foods ! Waitress was very accommodating for my daughter order who just wanted a gluten free pizza with red sauce and vegan cheese . Love the lavender matcha ! I always order that and so many vegan options. First time trying the vegan cookie and ice cream was delish !
Great local brewing company. Offers gluten-free beers. I see a lot of people on first dates here, there’s a runners group that meets here in the evening during the week, they have game night, date night. You can bring your babies, kids, dogs here. Wheelchair, stroller accessible. There are some snacks, soda for purchase but you can order food and eat it there. There is outside seating on top of beer barrels and metal stools when it’s nice out. Next to Prato bakery. Smaller than the Biergarten but also good for sunny and cold rainy days. Workers are cool and there are a lot of different beers and flights you can get.
Upon arriving, we received a not very warm welcome which set a not nice tone for the evening. However, things quickly became a bit disappointing. When being seated, the host mentioned he saw the Resy notes indicating someone in our party was plant-based and gluten-free and asked if we’d like that menu. If it was already noted in the reservation, it would’ve made sense to have those menus ready at the table or automatically offered. Otherwise — what’s the point of specifying it ahead of time?
Our server, Mary, unfortunately wasn’t very knowledgeable about the plant-based, vegan, or gluten-free options. She seemed unsure of the menu, had to double-check multiple times, and lacked confidence in answering basic questions about ingredients and modifications. It’s frustrating as a guest when you take the time to add dietary preferences in advance specifically to avoid situations like this.
The veggie soup was far too salty and unenjoyable, though the eggplant parmesan was actually pretty good. The Saratoga still water isn’t a personal favorite and it was the only option, so I had to add several lemon wedges just to make it palatable.
The most disappointing moment was when I asked about plant-based desserts. Mary seemed confused by the request until my mom clarified by saying “vegan dessert,” which then prompted her to bring over a tray of pre-made dessert shooters to choose from. Honestly, that felt off-putting. Who knows how long those had been sitting out or how many tables they’d been to that night. It just wasn’t an appealing or thoughtful presentation, especially for a restaurant that prides itself on seasonal and fresh offerings.
The restaurant was nearly empty given it was the 4th of July, so it would’ve been an ideal opportunity for attentive service. I’m hoping this was just an off night, perhaps due to holiday staffing. I might give them another try on a regular evening to see if it was an isolated issue — but based on this visit, it definitely missed the mark.
I’ve eaten here safely 4 times with celiac (very sensitive to cc) I love the wings, fries, and fried Brussels! Can be a longer wait for a table but worth it for the extensive gf menu and safe prep.
Disappointed they changed their menu. They used to have some good classics there, especially the breakfast sandwiches that could also be made gluten free. I barely recognize the menu now, time to move on I guess.
Wonderful lunch 2 days in row while in the area. They offer gluten free burgers and fries and even have dairy free oat based cheese for those with sensitivities.
Bareburger has a variety of options for people with dietary restrictions, like gluten-free buns and vegan patties. A great choice for anyone with specific needs. My wife has celiac and Ashley, our server, made sure everything was safe and helped us understand the allergy chart they provide.

Omg this place was so
Good! I love the food especially the chicken sandwich. I came from Maryland with my mom and I really enjoyed it. I am gluten free sensitive and the fries were fresh too with my sandwich. Very good service by my server! And Bree came and was very friendly as well with good conversation and recommendations about other things to try on the menu. I will be back! If you are in NJ come check it out you won’t regret! Fresh food and you can come late at night too :) Thank you!
This is long overdue, but I can’t say enough positive things about this place. The guys who work there are great and super knowledgeable about gluten-free options. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve ever had here, especially the chicken cucumber salad, pork fried rice, and chicken sautéed in oil and garlic with vegetables. My husband is a big fan of their dry pot chicken but has also enjoyed everything else he has had there. Keep up the wonderful work!
Love that they have so many gluten free options. I come fairly regularly and have never had a bad experience here. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and accomodating.

I absolutely love everything about this place. The food is incredible, especially if you have celiac disease - their fried calamari is better than most places and it's gluten free! They have a lot of other GF options that are hard to find elsewhere. I've eaten here three times and every host, waiter, and bartender has been incredibly professional, accommodating, and happy to help. The whole staff actually seems like they were professionally trained - a novel idea in 2024. It's also physically beautiful - colonial farmhouse look with some twists here and there. I love this place so much that I have it booked for my wedding next year.
I felt comfortable coming to BJs because they advertise items that are specifically gluten sensitive on their menu. I ordered a salad off of the “gluten sensitive” menu. It came with croutons on it (gluten). I let our waiter know I had celiac disease, which is a severe allergy to gluten, and asked if they could remake it without croutons. 5 minutes later they proceeded to bring out what was clearly the same salad because there were croutons still in it and breadcrumbs all over where they had picked off the croutons. Not cool. I hate being a jerk but allergies are a serious thing. If you can’t accommodate them, please don’t advertise that you do. People can get very sick from this.

**Updating my review!
Thanks Ryan for giving us another opportunity to try the food.
I had stopped by multiple times and even order food to go.
They have great gluten free options as well.
The food was delicious especially the crab dip.
They do have a pet-friendly patio seating as well which is awesome!!

Had visited here twice for some drinks and some good appetizers which was great.
However recently when I ordered a take out for bbq ribs they were so dry as though it was frozen.
Never ordering food from here but I might stop by for some drinks.
Was reasonably happy with Stuey’s though the pricing is crazy but par for the course here on the boardwalk. Aside from the obvious fact that this could be the only place on the entire boardwalk that serves any sort of vegetable that isn’t battered and fried, they truly do have some tasty and healthy eats here. Surprisingly large mix of organic, dairy-free and gluten-free selections. They definitely have an understanding and focus on catering to the allergen-sensitive consumer. Acai bowls are artfully arranged, reasonably sized, and not terribly priced given the fact that an egg sandwich costs nearly $10 at most spots around here. Come to think of it, they have those here too and they’re only $8.99 - unless you want that on a croissant in which case you have to add $1. How is that even possible? Smoothies are tasty but feel even rather expensive given they don’t contain any protein powder or ingredients other than fruit, almond milk and ice. Iced coffee was tasty and priced similarly to other spots in the area. They list a Latte on the menu, but I didn't see an espresso machine so not sure how that works. Hershey's next door does have Lavazza espresso, but they don't open till 10 so you can start with a coffee here while waiting for them to open up... Overall, would recommend for a health(ier) breakfast given the other options in the area, but you're certainly paying more given the location.

My wife has celiac and ordered a burger with no bread. The burger came to the table on bread. She explained that she cannot eat the bread because she needs to eat GF and that an entirely new burger would need to be made because the bread on the burger ruined the meat for her to be able to eat. The waitress said OK and less than 5 minutes later, the burger reappeared without the bread….obviously the same burger that sat on bread that would make her sick. The waitresses are very young and obviously have no idea how sick this can make someone with celiac. Either management needs to seriously train staff or be more present when someone with celiac is ordering food from this establishment. I suggest anyone with celiac that requires GF food stay FAR away from this restaurant. Shameful.

Met some friends there for the first time. It has a really interesting menu. I saw that they offered a wood-fired gluten free pizza and I had to give it a shot. I have to say that it was probably the best gluten free pizza that I have had outside of home. Thin crust, very crispy and flavorful. It wasn't cheap, but I would buy it again in a heartbeat..
Overpriced and mediocre food. Fish and chips were ok,but the fried shrimp was almost black. Manager did take that off the check. Wait staff was ok and pretty knowledgeable about gluten allergies for my daughter"s Celiac disease. Just underwhelmed about the whole experience.

The food was delicious 🤤
The nachos and pasta were gluten free! The Mac and cheese was SO divine (bacon bits & creamy sauce) & the wait staff was so kind!! I also love that it’s open late! 10/10 would recommend for people with gluten sensitivities! I’ll be back 😁
