Wonderful gluten-free menu.

Absolutely great for gluten free food. Lots of options on the menu and my food came out marked with an allergy flag. I got the portobello mushroom sandwich and sweet potato fries. Both were excellent. However I am knocking off one star due to the fact the GF buns are awful. The texture isn't good and it started falling apart within a few bites. Switch to a better GF bun and this place would be 5 star. Definitely sit outside if you can as the atmosphere is entertaining (we had a cellist set up and play during our dinner!) Would eat here again without hesitation.

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.

Out late on a late night date w the hubs in his hometown and looking to NOSH!! This place was recommended by our rickshaw driver strolling down King street. This place is SUPER CUTE!! We actually had passed by it and didn’t even notice!! 😵‍💫 Accross from the Apple Store; with kitschy-modern vibes we loved it as soon as we walked in! 90s tunes wash over us as we enter and we are taken back to simpler days; when we were young and without the cares of kids and adulting. Our server Katie greets us as we sit down at our cozy little booth - she is Super Cute and upbeat! We love her energy! And she knows her Sh*%#! She thoroughly explains how things work in her world, and we know exactly what to expect and respect how much she loves what she does! She educates us on the freshness of the E back bar ingredients? As well as that we should expect the highest of quality Ingredients in the tacos and such as well! We also love that these tacos are served street tacos style and explains that each will be 2-3 bites. This is very helpful in Gauging how many we should order! We decide to get a little of everything! The cucumber salad and sliced cucumbers came first. Then came the Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl - The Baja fish tacos - in CA they are usually grilled. But here they are fried. I was skeptical but when I added the jalapeño sauce and took a bite MAN!! So lite and flaky!! Fish was tender and the batter was melt in your mouth! Not at All great! And not breast either! Katie explained later that it is a tempera rice batter and that it’s gluten free. Super lite and DELISH!! The addition of the slaw gives it just the right vinegar mayo kick as well YUM 🤤 The mushroom taco is very light and mild. Bits of mushroom; they tasted like shiitake or even just an umami mix including some king mushrooms even had a very mild and meaty texture and mild flavor. I added the rojo sauce for a bit of a kick. The given tortilla adding the perfect nuttiness. The crispy shrimp taco uses the same lite tempura batter. This batter has a little kick to it. Not sure if they add something else to the batter to make it slightly different than the fish but it’s slightly spicier. Which I Loved. We eat a lot of spicy foods and I loved this one. I ate this with the cucumber salad as well for more of a crunch factor. The pork belly taco had a bit of a crunchy pork skin bite to it, and the porky goodness that you can ONLY get from pork belly!!! This one was next level taco yumminess!!! We ate this one with the Happy Habanero sauce and let me tell you - NO. This one you hafta taste for yourself to believe!!! PORK BELLY. NEED I SAY MORE??? Now we had also ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna Taco but we had forgotten about it and the kitchen had also forgotten about it , so by the time they brought it out we were so stuffed we didn’t get to try it before my review. I’ll try to update this tho once I try it! It looked awesome, and I will include the picture! The only thing the hubs wasn’t too impressed with was the bulgogi bowl. The bees was sliced too thinly he said and was a bit dry. He expected more juiciness. Especially for bulgogi and I hafta agree on that - having had a LOT of bulgogi in my lifetime lol. I LOVED the kimchi and spinach in the bowl tho and helped him to polish those off. 😝 Oh!!! We also tried some agua fresca - the Berry Colada which was FANTASMIC I cannot say this enough. This drink tasted of fresh coconut water, blueberries and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Not sure if that’s the mix but that’s what it tasted like to me. It was so refreshing and didn’t make me feel light headed like fruit juice normally does. The hubs has a Tito’s n Grapefruit juice which he absolutely LOVED. We were really impressed with Bartaco! Late night nosh as its finest! And Thanks again Ms Katie!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had such a fun time here for our friends birthday trip! Our girl Rachel was so sweet and took the best care of our large group! The drinks were delicious and the food came out quickly and was very tasty! Also loved that they had a gluten free menu for my friend! Highly recommend

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!

Ann Brickey

Excellent food with many Gluten Free options. Luke our waiter and bartender was excellent and made sure we tried some of the top items and drinks. 10/10!

Chantal Z

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

Gerry-Ann Bates

Absolutely delicious. It’s a pretty and rustic atmosphere with low lighting with certain bright areas. Pretty plants and rustic decor. The gluten free food options are delicious and there are soooo many choices.

Ignacio Millar

Sandi Nahmias

I love going here. Everything is delicious. I would love them to have more choices of fish and gluten free dessert’s if I had to leave any suggestions. It’s always busy here!

Had a really great experience while visiting HHI for my mom's birthday/retirement celebration. The cupcakes were fantastic and they even accommodated when we had some late changes. Will definitely use again when we visit next! Photo: Gluten-free chocolate, carrot cake and salted caramel cupcakes. I added the cupcakes toppers after purchase.

Paris Powers

Our server Kayla was FANTASTIC!! So sweet, attentive, and overall helpful! I notified her about my gluten allergy and she showed all options on the menu and was very informative. Definitely would eat here again and ask for Kayla to be our server :)

Raja V

Great food, they took the time to accommodate dietary restrictions and communicate which items were gluten free.

Jacqueline March

Wonderful and delicious sushi! I come here often and always feel very safe as someone with Celiac Disease. They gave a gluten free menu and when telling the waitress I have Celiac, they were very accommodating and understanding of the seriousness of Celiac. Chefs will change gloves upon request. The food is phenomenal. Get the rainbow roll!

Chloe McGarvey

This is a super quaint restaurant with amazing food and service! Steve was our server and he was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating as my family is gluten free! The food was also incredible! I will definitely be returning and highly recommend!

Jana Powers

Rachel Odum

Atmosphere is charming and intimate. There was a had written card reserving the table. Jon, the server was amazing and accommodating with my gluten sensitivity. I recommend the Paris Market plate and strawberry lemonade tea. I hope to have a chance to go back for a high tea experience.

Lisa Hamel

This was our first time at Wicked Tuna and we already can’t wait to go back. I have been gluten free for about 4 years and that typically means unseasoned protein and steamed vegetables when you eat out. Everything we ordered was amazing and so flavorful! They even had spicy mayo, and gluten-free Soy sauce. The surf and turf was awesome, and the steak was incredibly tender. My husband had shrimp and grits, which he reported to also be great. We had the Oysters Rockefeller and a specialty tuna roll both if which were great. We will definitely eat here again!

Thomas Izzo

Great brunch spot. Been here a few times now enjoyed it ever time. Great menu, great food, great service. Highly recommend. Oh and great gluten free menu available.

Alison Jackson

We found this place based on Google reviews, and we are so glad we did! It's a terrific dessert café. I'm gluten-free, and it was such a joy to find somewhere with delicious after-dinner options. My non gf husband had the bourbon pecan pie and said it's fabulous.

Maggie Gehrlein

Wonderful dinner experience with delicious food. They had sliced cucumber to have with the saganaki and the gluten free shrimp santorini was so warm and tasty.

Jackie Burka

We had the best experience at P.F. Chang’s last night… mostly due to our waiter Leon who provided an exceptional experience. My daughter has celiac and we needed specific information regarding gluten-free items on the menu and he not only provided the information we needed, but he brought samples of different sauces for her to try that were celiac safe so she could decide what she wanted for dinner. This is above and beyond what anyone has ever done for us in a restaurant. He was also prompt with drinks refills, boxes and the check. Food was delicious ! Hostess and other staff also gracious. We will be back!

Excellent service and food. We were there with a party of 8. They were able to seat us promptly. Most everyone ordered something different. Everyone enjoyed their food. It well prepared and delicious. I have a Gluten allergy. They have some GF menu items and made note of that for the kitchen.

My husband and I really enjoyed this restaurant, but I did wish there were more gluten-free opinions. We sat outside on a beautiful Saturday evening around 6 pm. in September. After we had a bite to eat, we walked dover to the battery.

I have celiac disease and ordered a petite filet and a loaded baked potato and got sick. I’m disappointed that the kitchen is not more careful with cross contamination and doesn’t seem to take food allergies seriously. I tried to order safe items and asked the server to please verify they don’t put anything else on their grill that contains gluten and to make sure they know my meal should be gluten free. Although the steak was delicious, I ended up with a stomach ache (intestinal damage) for the next several days. I think they must have items on the grill that contain gluten, or it was something in the loaded baked potato. . I never have this problem at Hall’s in Charleston, but there’s some kind of cross contamination going on at the Greenville one because I usually end up sick no matter how careful I try to be. I realize they can’t guarantee anything but it’s such a shame with it being a high end restaurant. Although I won’t be able to dine here again, for those without food allergies it is great!

Bourbon deserves 5 stars across the board! The ambiance was lovely..The food was great, and there is something for everyone- the menu has numerous vegetarian and gluten free options. But most of all the staff was amazing!! Christan our server was awesome and gave me an amazing recommendation (éttouffée was delicious).. and I truly don't have enough kind words for the manager Deborah!! We had a great conversation, and you could tell she takes pride in managing Bourbon and making sure every diner was happy and well taken care of. Next time I find myself in the area I will surely be back!

Ginny Williams

We stopped here for coffee and a light breakfast and it was absolutely charming. The staff was welcoming and we loved the unique coffee options. Each of us got the avocado toast, but two of us got the gluten-free bread and it was all delicious. I appreciated that they slightly mashed up the avocado on the toast so it didn’t slide all around!

Alexuss Brown

Best chicken sandwich I’ve had. Food was amazing, drinks were great. Our waiter Rick was so kind. Also had great GF options for my sister with celiac

Visiting from Maine my expectations for the seafood here were already high. I can say that not only was the food delicious but the service was fast, I think that I had my food within 15 mins of sitting down. I ordered the Seafood Boil for 2 and the serving size was perfect. Just enough to get full and take home a plate for later. Shout out to Zhanel ,my waitress, we had an allergy at the table and she made sure the chefs were aware and another shout out to the host pointing out the gluten free options on the menu. I will definitely come back for the bar because their drink menu is as long as the food menu 😂😂 bottoms up.

Ben Pierson

I was here with a bachelor group and have celiac, another person in the group also did. We were accommodated exceptionally well! Our server knew exactly what to look for and even rechecked one of the meals as the distributor had changed so she subbed in a different option. I had seen a previously negative review for gluten free but and was worried but this was the best restaurant for accommodating gluten free and celiac. By far the best service I received in Charleston for accommodating celiac and gluten free

Amanda Walker

If I could give over 5 stars I would! I recently had the opportunity to visit your restaurant with my husband, mother, and our little dog Buckley. The staff was so welcoming to us dining with our dog in the patio area. We had the meatloaf, Hawaiian chicken, and BBQ ribs. The food was absolutely amazing and large portion sizes. The waitress went out of her way to assist me with my gluten allergy and helped me place my order. I wish I would have gotten her name but overall, this place is topnotch for food and service! I wish we could dine here more often!
