My daughter has a wheat/dairy/egg allergy and she was able to eat here!
We ordered a plain burger with bacon on a gluten free/dairy free bun, and also added ketchup. The fries are also gluten free and fried in a dedicated fryer. So, 5 stars for this because eating out with my daughter is nearly impossible! Happy to have found this place.
This place is so cool. You get to choose your toppings as well as gluten free or regular crust. Staff is very friendly & knowledgeable. Your pizza comes out quickly after being in a brick oven and is bright to your table. Great place for the kids and for the money it's well worth it
I have gluten, soy and dairy allergy’s and they were so accommodating! The chef came out to speak with me and make sure that there were no allergens in what I was ordering. Emily was a fantastic server as well! Great experience!

Hi, Sorry about this, but people need to know.
We ate here 7 times the first 5 times were wonderful. We both are diagnosed, symptomatic CELIACS .
The 6th time we both got sick. Ruined our trip. 2 years later, we figured we would give them another shot. Nope !!! I didn't make it out of the restaurant. I had to run to the bathroom... as we know guys , it was coming out of both ends. Needless to say . ruined our vacation.

I recommended this place for our family to meet up at. My husband and I have eaten there before. I've since have to work with dietary restrictions. Do I googled and it said they had gluten free vegan stuff. Well we were a party of 13. So we got sat in the direct hot sun for half of us. I sat between two tables and my chair was lopsided to try to get a bit of shade. Then no gluten free vegan and almost all had ordered so we stayed. Very sad because I don't usually give a bad review. Someone needs to change or update Google to let people know they don't have any cannot accommodate gluten free vegan. I got two things but prepared naked and still paid the high price for a half ear of corn grilled.
We had a wonderful experience here. I am gluten free. The GF chicken tenders were absolutely delicious. When my food came out, one of the chefs came to talk to me about it and see if I had questions about how it was prepared. My husband got the salmon meal and he said that was delicious as well. We went around the 5 PM timeframe and it wasn’t super crowded. Also, to note, the prices are very reasonable for what you get. I would highly recommend, and if we’re ever back at magic kingdom , we will go there again
Robert T was a fantastic waiter. I was incredibly pleased with our service and with his manners. He even offered to take a photo of my friends and I. He made sure my friend with a gluten allergy was well accommodated for and made sure she had a safe experience at the T-Rex Cafe. Would definitley recommend you come here! Beware of the meteor showers which occur approximately every 18 minutes (i timed it)
I am gluten free and one of the things I like to get at Disney that I can't normally get at restaurants near my home believe it or not is chicken tenders. They have really good ones at Liberty Tree Tavern and I didn't think they could get any better than that. Then we ate here. I truly thought they gave us the wrong order when I saw them, but once I took a bite I was sure these couldn't be gluten free. My husband brought them back just to double check (mistakes happen). They reassured him they were and I was just amazed. I didn't finish my fries, but you better believe I finished that chicken! I WISH I could get these at home. The only reason to knock off one star is that these took a very long time to be ready. Like everyone else got their order and were done eating long. Also for Disney the atmosphere wasn't anything special. With that said I will definitely eat here again, the wait was still worth it!
This restaurant was incredible! The first time we were there, the waiter made several wonderful recommendations for one of our guests with gluten allergies. The chicken dinner, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and coleslaw were incredible! It was so good, that we had to return later in the week based on the waiter's recommendation for the meatloaf dinner. He has salt n pepper hair and a beard and he was the friendliest guy..I wish I could remember his name. :(
The restaurant is super cute and themed throughout. We were really looking forward to having to freeze when Andy came. It was fun and the wait staff were pretty creative with how they were positioned. I have to eat gluten free and was very happily surprised that I could eat most things on the menu. My favorite for the meat was the brisket for sure. I know my group said the first batch of chicken was a little dry, but that the second batch was really good. The tater tots and corn were gf as well and delicious. I know my group really liked the buns (non gf ones) that they got and even asked for more. The waiter we had was sassy and hilarious! It was super busy, but he was on top of refills and at the end gave me all 3 gf desserts to try instead of just 1. It made my day! The only reason I knocked a star off is bc of the price and that they don't offer any discounts here (dvc,ap) probably bc they're so new still. I would totally go back though!

Came for a dinner with coworkers during a conference. We had an amazing time with Matthew as our server. He had great recommendations, and knew the drink and food menu very well. He was incredibly patient with our group in deciding what we wanted. We loved all of the food and drinks we got, including a vegan and gluten free dish for members in our party. We recommend the ribs, Kung pao cauliflower, morimoto buri-bop, and sautéed Chinese vegetable (made spicy on request). For one drink and meal per person, we spent about $85 each including tip.
Dined with friends and family. 2 young kids and 4 adults with gluten free needs. The crab guacamole appetizer and the cocktails are great. The kids food was very good. The lobster boil was good, with a sizable portion of lobster. However the grouper was a disappointment - we had 3 orders of it and I tried it too, somewhat dry and the accompanying vegetables didn’t add anything to the taste or experience - somewhat of a strange pairing. I would return but I’d follow the servers recommendations on fish dishes more closely.
We had a great meal, and our 2nd server was excellent- Bao- couldn’t be more kind and helpful in assuring us that my daughter’s food allergies would be taken care of. However the reason for the poor rating is the treatment we received by our initial waitress- Suzan. Never said hello as she approached our table- started with “you have food allergies here- wheat and gluten.” And I corrected her and said no- it was tree nuts and sesame. And she argued with me that no- the notes say wheat and gluten and implied I was wrong!!! I tried explaining what treenuts my daughter was allergic to, and she cut me off mid sentence and said “I know what tree nuts are.” She rolled her eyes and said “I’ll get you water” and walked away. Immediately my husband requested a table switch and thankfully the experience improved. But I hope Suzan gets some training in customer service and kindness bc she was awful to us.
Amazing atmosphere and ambiance. You are nestled into a cozy and beautifully decorated dining area with prime viewing of one of the worlds largest aquariums bustling with over 2,000 fish, including a variety of sharks. Try and catch the 100 year old sea-turtle! This establishment boasts a very good Gluten Free/Allergy Menu. Disney is known for how well they handle allergies. Really enjoyed the gluten free bread rolls with the pineapple coconut butter. The corn bisque is phenomenal. All the seafood entrees looked great, but most of us settled on the grilled Mahi Mahi. It was excellent. The dessert was great and again, they have a gluten free option. Our server Alex was top-notch and delightful. She gave us some interesting info on the aquarium and was super nice! Highly recommend this place, especially if you have kids who are tired and hot, the fish viewing keeps them engaged!
Tried their brunch... salmon salad and crab cake Benedict are so good! Also have sides of Mickey Waffles if you don't want the kid's meal. Caters to gluten friendly and allergy friendly dietary needs. Great place to grab a bite!
The food here was pretty good, not life changing- HOWEVER, I have celiac disease, and the chef here, Jose, was so considerate and so incredibly helpful that it made the entire experience a million times better. I was nervous about visiting Disney because of my dietary restrictions, but he was so awesome that I had no worries about eating what he made me. Thank you, Jose, for taking the time to make sure I could eat comfortably!

Came here with my celiac aunt thinking she could have a meal out at last and was fairly disappointed when we were told the fries were fried in the same fryer as everything else which is a total deal breaker with severe allergies as ours but is also such an easy fix by just having a separate designated fryer. Don’t put something in the menu if you can’t make it!!! Ruined the afternoon. If disney can do it and they receive a thousand more guests a day, why can’t you?
When traveling, we have to mindful of where we eat because my wife has #Celiac. We were pleasantly surprised by the multiple GF choices around WDW. Just go on the App (get it, it's a lot of fun) and you can find GF options. We ordered the Allergy Friendly Chicken Strips for my wife, and the Chili-Cheese All-Beef Foot Long Hot Dog. The Strips came out golden brown and Crispy, plated by the Manager to make sure it was GF safe. The Hot Dog was huge and very filling, didn't know if I'd be able to finish it, but I did! The area is clean and breezy. It's near Tower of Terror so it's a lot of fun to hear the screams nearby, LOL.
Amazing burgers and fried pickles!! The place is super cool as well. 4 bars I think I counted. Will certainly be returning!! Wait staff was very friendly and accommodating to our gluten free needs.
The views are incredible around the lake. We got the guacamole with chips and the gluten-free churros, which comes with a chocolate sauce, a caramel sauce, and a strawberry type dip. Incredible!
Sebastians is one of our favourites, Disney is great at having gluten free options and Sebastians is sooo tasty, with great service. The beef is particularly great. Dessert was amazing but it defeated me, so a return visit is needed to do it again!
Great!!!! GLUTEN-FREE options. Great service, Great food . celiac family here. Yes all 4 diagnosed, symptomatic celiacs. Wine list was incredible. We really enjoyed everything.
Our server was Mya and she was amazing! We came in as a big group of 16 on a school trip and she was patient, answered all of our questions, and put up with our rowdy table! One of our students has a gluten allergy and she was clear and kind on all of the available options! She also gave us plenty of fun details about the restaurant

As soon as we entered into Benihana’s restaurant we were greeted with a warm smile. When our name was called and we went to sit down at our seats, Nevaeh was friendly, kind and professional. As well as Chef Justin who prepared us a delicious meal and was mindful and accommodating to celiac and other food allergies. Overall it was a wonderful evening and a wonderful experience, thank you again. :)
When we stay at Hilton BVP we always have breakfast at The Letterpress because of the servers some who have been there since way before BVP was in the Hilton portfolio. Like server Joan and Hostess Brenda who meets us with big smiles and hugs as returning guests that have become friends. We are glad the omelette station has returned and was delicious as is the fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, danish, toast, we made our own waffle one day and had fluffy kitchen made pancakes the other day. There is cereal if you like, choice of juice, cheeses and gluten free options. Adults nor children will not go hungry at this breakfast buffet. The only miss is on some sites they are still advertising the character breakfast which no longer exists and I admit I miss seeing my Disney friends too!
See you next time Joan and Brenda!
Thanks Chef for another amazing breakfast buffet!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. Our server was great and everyone really enjoyed their meal. They brought me gluten free bread which was very good. Everything was spot on.
I don't get all the horrible reviews. We walked up without a reservation, waited 15 minutes and were seated during "brunch" time. We were in no rush and enjoyed a leisurely adult brunch. Service was friendly, maybe a bit slow but not horribly so and we did not care. I had buckwheat crepes since I am gluten free. It tased perfectly fine, no issues with taste or texture. The eggs were cooked perfect and cheese was melted, the coffee was strong which we also enjoyed. Cost is average Disney, nothing crazy. We'd go back.
This restaurant surprised me with how friendly they are for those with food allergies and especially their gluten-free options!! They offer GF bread and pasta to substitute and our server Tobi was very accomodating with the desserts as well.
We had an amazing dinner at Il Molino! Every dish we tried was outstanding—from the Calamari Fritti and Polpette Al Forno to the Cozze and gluten-free Rigatoni con Funghi with salmon. The Cheesecake Italiano was our favorite dessert, with the Torta di Cioccolati close behind. What truly made the evening unforgettable was our server, Carmelo. He went above and beyond with excellent recommendations, warm service, and thoughtful touches.
As we ended our meal with limoncello, Carmelo even brought our son a glass of lemonade so he could share in the fun—our son said it was the best lemonade he’s ever had! Carmelo also suggested a sunset walk afterward, which was the perfect end to a perfect night. We left smiling, and we’ll definitely be back!
