Ashley Kus

Gluten free, very accommodating, thorough, allergen friendly

Kelsey Battista

hidden gem!! cute diner with tons of gluten free options. I let the server know of my gluten allergy, the staff were very knowledgeable. the buckwheat chocolate chip pancakes were delicious- even my non gluten free husband loved! definitely recommend making a pit stop here

Valerie Fallon

Excellent gluten free options. Truly my go to for fried seafood. My only complain is their chocolate cake used to be a large piece with amazing frosting. It’s definitely gone down 2/3 of the size and the taste isn’t the same as it used to be. Somebody added chunks of salt on it! It was really bad and same with the frosting was bland!

Celiac Friendly!

Lots of Gluten free options for appetizers, lunch and dinner.

Heather Coupland

The staff goes above & beyond to ensure a safe & inclusive experience. Great celiac safe menu! Highly recommended.

Laurie Jambor

We love Plan B for their dedicated fryer and many GF options. My celiac daughter loves the chicken tenders and tots and we’ve never had any issues with feeling sick after eating here

Karen LaFleur

I love the GF version of General Tso Chicken.

Genna Mullen

I absolutely love Green Olive. I have celiac and have never had an issue with food, and they have so many options! My only issue is they close earlier than their hours say and it’s not super close to where I live, so when I finally get through my day and am SO looking forward to a good calzone, they’re closed hours earlier than it says online. That has been and is my only issue and it’s so disappointing to me as I can’t get this kind of food everywhere, driving over half an hour away and craving the food to find out it’s closed it so sad :(.

Leslie Burby

I tried a variety of foods and they were all delicious and the staff were incredibly patient and kind. I will definitely be back. This is nice and close to the New Haven Union Train station.

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Olga Rodland

Great gluten free options! Suitable for celiacs!

Parent LH

Son recently became gluten free and was looking for restaurant in the area that had some choices. We had BLT's and sweet potato fries. They were fantastic and would never know bread was GF. Fantastic customer service! Inside seating was very clean with a welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely come again when back in this area!

Katherine Roland

Awesome place!! Great for gluten free/Celiac Safe.

Ben North

Great take out dumpling place! Many gluten free dumplings too! Try their pork bao buns!

Minakshi Stalhamer

Amazingly flavorful, all gluten free food, wonderful options, absolutely lovely experience (btw the burritos are hugeeee and the taco orders are 1 per and pricey but nice to try a few)

Greg Roberge

this is my second visit there and everything was just as delicious as it was the first time. The service is impeccable. Drinks are creative and well crafted. Lots of gluten free options and Bespoke small plates worth checking out. Definitely try the Fried Mozz!

Hannah H

Gluten free dedicated fryer, the best appetizers and drinks. gluten free bread for your table if you order it, a lot of the soups are gluten free and a majority of the menu can be made gluten free. this is my go to spot! very celiac friendly.

Barbara O'Marra

Our waiter was Stanley. He was friendly, attentive and polite. As always our food was so good and we safely ate gluten free!

Jade Warzenski

Used to frequent the wood-n-tap in Milford/Orange area. Loved that place, the food was always good & the atmosphere was great too. This was not that. Although our waiter was very friendly. The food wasn't great. My wife has celiacs, & they had gluten free buns apparently. The waiter mentioned he knew about cross contamination, but I think the cook staff didn't. My wife got very sick shortly after eating here. We had a party of 5, the other couple weren't very happy with their food either. 2 of us got some breaded chicken sandwich. I don't recommend it. It looked like it was breaded & fried several times over before they put it on a sandwich. I hope this location doesn't represent all of the locations. If so, I do not recommend coming here. Hopefully this was a 1 time event. Try if your feeling adventurous. We will not be coming back.

First time they made food which I clearly instructed I am allergic to. Then manager said he'd personally make sure next sandwich was correct. Burger came out with wrong toppings again. No gluten at least. But the burger was so raw that I feel nauseous from taking a few bites of it. Absolutely disgusting

Jen F

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

So easy to east GF here

Alethia Botchis

We both ordered a Cobb salad with Cajun chicken and vinaigrette dressing. Celiac restrictions were easily met. EXCELLENT!

Emily-Catherine Madia

gluten free food options

Charlotte

My favorite restaurant in Simsbury!! Always great food and great service. Fantastic with food allergies- I have celiac and have never gotten sick there. They’ve got a dedicated gluten-free fryer and gf hamburger buns. Highly recommend!!!

mai aludi

Tasty bites woth gluten free options. Perfect for a nicer night out with friends or a date. Can't go wrong with Patatas Bravas

Jeff Adelman

Went on a supposed bogo taco Tuesday n tacos weren't on the menu n waiter possibly the manager too said they we're in process of a menu change n could still offer us the deal ☺. Excellent tacos thrown together a little sloppy, but definitely overpriced st aprox $23!! Gluten-free chicken nuggets also Excellent n large portion! Great cider in can. Server though was not very friendly or attentive. We have 1 closer to us n will most likely try a burger next time. ✌

ESTHER TARTAGLIA

We spent the last 3 days at Foxwoods. We ate there Sunday nite. It was so good. I had Cheeseburger with Sweet potato tots. They are Gluten Free. You couldn't tell. My brother also had cheeseburger with sweet potato tots. I forgot what she had. She said very good too. Service was Excellent. We decided to go back Sunday. I Loved mine so much that I got same thing. Sweet potato tots are the best. Brother got some cobb salad . Said very good. This place is Great. Great Service. Great food. .

Ashley Berry Neff

So good! So many choices! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. We were seated at the bar quickly. Lucas was our server and he was awesome! I have to be careful about what I eat, since I’m gluten free. Lucas was knowledgeable and assured me that what I was ordering wouldn’t make me sick. As he put it “welcome home” 😂 The drinks were amazing and the tacos were fantastic. Charles came over at some point to help other customers and he was super attentive to them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Low Key Gluten Free

Very celiac friendly!

Jillian Gagnon

I met a friend here for lunch and hadn't been in so long. I forgot how amazing their food is. I got the fried chicken meal and it was to die for. Being gluten sensitive, they are able to accommodate that easily, and have separate fryers. Their food is like southern comfort food. Highly recommend. Food is better than most of the restaurants in West Hartford Center.

Eric Gugliuzza

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!

Laurie Jambor

We’ve been here a few times to get food before concerts in Bridgeport. Great food with GF options clearly marked

Playa Squirrel

Went for a family lunch and it was great! the waiter was really helpful for recommendations for pescatarian and gluten-free options. Service was excellent and the food was amazing. Absolutely recommend this place for great food and drinks.

J Matthews

Love this place. The food and service were excellent. Many gluten free choices.

Andrea Stone

What a little gem! The vibe was good. The food was tasty. There are lots of gluten free options. The customer service was friendly. I'll be back!

Jonathan Santillo

Absolutely loved my first visit to MISSION BBQ! The food was fantastic you can really taste the quality and care in every bite. As someone who eats gluten-free, I was so impressed with how extensive and accommodating their gluten-free menu was. It was my first time there, and the staff took the time to walk me through everything in detail, making sure I felt comfortable and informed about my options. The team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. And as a proud member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, it truly warmed my heart to see Coast Guard memorabilia proudly displayed throughout the restaurant. It made the atmosphere feel personal and patriotic. I’ll definitely be coming back again highly recommend to anyone looking for great BBQ and even better people! 🇺🇸

Dan Richardson

What can i say, a service themed restaurant that has absolutely amazing food. I've never had a single bad experience. My wife loves it because not only is the food amazing but they also have a large gluten-free assortment, and the kitchen cares about GF customers

Catherine Kalonia

Love love love Faith Cafe! Everything is delicious, especially their baked goods. Gluten Free never tasted sooo good!!

d olson

It's not like it use to be, got rid of GLUTEN free options and staff was lazy told use they didn't have items to make certain drinks but people next to use orders from a different bartender and was able to make everything. ordered GF food but was server gluten rolls breaded chicken huge mistake. I asked the staff and they said it was GF but clearly it was not. They would not give me the chicken wings I ordered.

Michele Bassett

The service can be a tad slow at times, but the food is excellent with amazing gluten-free options.

Jack Fitzpatrick

Burgers, fries, onion rings etc. seem very basic, but BnB brings basic to another level with superior quality food and family-like service. The homemade chicken fingers are game changer! Great stuff. Had chicken tacos today, and the great food and Service continues! They even have gluten free tortillas and burger buns

Dont eat here if you’re celiac The server was really nice and set us quickly but I told her we had a 45 minutes to eat and said that they could accommodate but I have a gluten allergy and I asked for gluten-free menu and they brought me a hamburger with a Gluten bun I took a bite and realized that it was a Gluten bun. I already ate it, so it was too late, but I hate the burger not the bun because cross-contamination is an a problem for me. Yes, the waitress and she said oh no, I forgot or something to that extent then the manager came over and asked me why i ateb my food it’s not it’s not my responsibility to explain my allergy you served me Some thing I was allergic to cross-contamination isn’t a problem for me because I’m not celiac, but the second I said I wasn’t celiac he didn’t seem to care I asked for to go bags for the food they watch me struggle with my toddler and everything spilled out of the bag and they didn’t take the burger off my bill which I think it’s just really poor service because I eat the burger and not the bun, but I took a bite of the bun which made me sick .

Emily Waniewski

Lots of flavor packed into little plates! Fun to try a lot of variety. A few Gluten free and vegetarian options. Love the 3 oz. pours of wine to also try a variety. Make a reservation this place fills up!

I heard that they are celiac-friendly and wanted a quick bite on the go. This was the first time I'd gone since my diagnosis, so I went in because I was nervous about making sure it was safe for me to have it. The person who took my order had limited knowledge, but luckily it was not very busy, and the manager took the opportunity to explain to both of us the process. Not only they have a few gf items marked on the menu, but if you tell them you have an allergy, they make sure to alert the staff, so they clean the area, utensils and change gloves before preparing the meal. They have a separate fryer for the fries, too! The grilled chicken sandwich was appetizing and gluten-free.

Bri Davin

GF accommodating + separate fryer

Kendall Richey

Laylas is definitely growing heavy in my Stamford gluten free rotation. There are ample gf options including the falafel, hummus, and fries and they have a dedicated gf fryer. The staff at the cashier was very helpful and they had good procedures for avoiding cross contamination. I particularly loved the grape leaves. Only bummer is a lack of gluten free pita.

Elisa

This is the 3rd time I have ordered a gluten free meal from here and I can't say enough how much I appreciate this restaurant. They didn't know but today is my birthday and all I wanted was some comfort food of spaghetti and meatballs. They really made y day by going out of the way to make GF garlic bread on their rolls, and they actually had GF meatballs! I wasn't even able to eat it all because the meal was so big. Thank you thank you thank you. Previously I had ordered a salad and then the Rueben sandwich on a GF roll and both were fantastic. Can't wait to try more!

Ashley Kus

Allergen friendly, extremely accommodating, gluten free
