Not a lot of places for someone who has a baby for a stomach with IBS, Gluten intolerance, and Dairy allergy, yet I can come here and get a medium pizza for less than 20 bucks with everything I can actually have, and it not only look like a freaking normal pizza for once (fantastic mind you) and it was freaking perfect. I will be coming here on the most absolute regular now.
Delicious gluten free Asian food with a wide variety of choices. I also appreciate that Health-Ade Kombucha is available in 11.5 FL OZ cans. Fast and friendly service. Clean establishment.
Our daughter has celiac disease and this restaurant did a phenomenal job cleaning the preparation area and opened fresh ingredients to prevent cross-contamination. The manager, Ryan, did a great job and was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Thank you
Our fantastic server had knowledge of the gluten free and allergen items of the menu as well as the possible point of cross contamination and what to order to avoid them. Thanks to all staff for making dining out with allergies a lot easier!
Food we ordered was good. Waiter (Steve) copped an attitude when 2 in our party informed him of their severe dairy (anaphylactic) and gluten allergies. He was unwilling to explore options regarding the menu. “We’re busy in the kitchen. I can’t ask them”. If you go to this location, request to not be served by Steve.
China Dynasty exceeded my expectations! I visited as a group with different dietary needs (gluten free, vegan, pescatarian) and we were all able to get a meal. The portions were generous—enough for lunch the next day. If you’re looking for gluten free Chinese food in the Dayton area, this is the place!! Sushi was good as well.
Ok, so this place is AMAZING! Firstly, the fact the staff is SO nice and helpful is beyond awesome but they actually have gf options for people with celiacs and it all tastes SO good! I love the atmosphere, I love the service and typically go here a few times a week! Fantastic place!
Dalton was a wonderful server!! He was so kind and courteous about my gluten allergy. We will be back! Thank you for a great date night with my husband!
Absolutely terrible experience with the location in Centerville, OH (Miamisburg Centerville Road). Ordered a big order including a giant gluten free turkey sandwich with no cheese due to allergies. Delivered with cheese and white bread with wrong ingredients as well. Took the sandwich all the way back in 0 degree temps and they charged additional for the gluten free bread ($3.50), offered no apology or compensation, all the while being rude about the whole situation. AVOID this location at all costs. Never again.
Expensive, but the food, service and atmosphere was great. Very nice area for a special occasion. We had the prime rib, petite prime rib, asparagus, jalapeño infused potatoes, and creme brulee. Our server was very attentive to our needs as well. They offer a nice gluten free menu as well.

I am gluten-free. I asked 3 times if the meal I ordered was GF. I started to feel bad about an hour after the meal. Stomach issues for the entire next day. The meal had either some high cross contamination or they didn't make it properly.
Vincent was an excellent server.
This restaurant could use a little refresh in the entry but I do like the local art in the dining area.
For a restaurant being so progressive with it's menu and careful with gluten/vegan cuisine I do not understand why there are not markings on the menu. Disappointed in allergens not being marked especially since this is a sister restaurant to Wheat Penny who despite the name actually does gluten allergy notices excellently.
Tonight I had a herb vinaigrette salad. I feel like someone was trying to be unique with the dressing. I've had a lot of vinaigrettes and salads. I never dislike a salad. I did not like it. The olives were oddly flavored. The cheese was good, but the dressing had herbs de provence or something odd in it I couldn't put my finger on. I feel like that's such an acquired to be taste, it should be mentioned or the dressing needs to be renamed or reformulated to be more like a goddess. It said it was lemon and didn't taste like lemon or vinegar or oil. Mostly avocado and herbs.
I highly recommend the caprese toast on gluten free bread. That's one of the best things I've had in a long time. The tomatoes were red, fresh, and juicy.
The burnt peach and macadamia nut cheesecake was not it. I feel like it has a lighter feel with more egg/custard taste than cheese. Needs more sugar and more cream cheese, more brown sugar crumble. Pass the burnt top and replace by peach jam or something like that.
I hope they are as celiac friendly as was shared by server. I'll report back. **Can't notice specific issues with gluten.
Also the two-tops were too close to each other to have no music playing. There needed to be background music because it was near impossible not to hear the entirety of the next conversation. One table should be removed in that row.
Although the restaurant met our needs that day I wouldn't be swift to return, but can recognize the value of a locally owned place with a strong following.
My boyfriend and I went to brunch here this past Sunday and it was phenomenal! The food, service and , atmosphere are amazing! Our server Makenzie was the best and very knowledgeable about the menu. I have celiac disease so I’m always apprehensive to try new places but I can say with certainty we will be back!
We had a wonderful dining experience! I have Celiac disease and our server was very good knowledgeable about gluten free options and avoiding cross contact. She was very friendly, answered all our questions, and provided quick service. The potato appetizer, chips and salsa flight, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, and cake were delicious! We'll definitely be back in again next time we're in Dayton! Thank you so much!
This is the best BBQ in Dayton. The food is consistently good and they can accommodate gluten free diet. I feel comfortable with celiac eating here. The customer service is great. Tea and lemonade is great and this location is perfect and quick and they even have a drive thru. 10/10
not gluten free friendly. Has a gf crust, but uses the same sauce and ladle and smears the sauce with the spoon with both gf and regular pizzas. If you have severe reactions to gluten would not recommend, but it has been a little bit since I've been in. I only have mild reactions and the pizza is good but if you have celiacs or an allergy please be careful and make sure to ask them to use a different spoon and new sauce container!
Our server Ender provided top-tier customer service and handled my wife's gluten allergy with care and efficiency uncommon in the fast food industry. He knew what he was doing and immediately took the necessary precautions and cleaning steps to provide her with safe food.
We were blown away with his respectful and professional attitude. My wife is Celiac and has a hard time eating out; places like Chipotle and employees like Ender make this process a whole lot easier. Definitely visiting this location again!
A great stop if you're in the area. Good service and very fun atmosphere. I had the pork burrito which is fantastic, and my wife was able to find a lot of tasty options which is challenging because she's gluten free. Our kids enjoyed the items from the kids menu.
The drive thru and parking experience has improved dramatically. They were able to address my gluten allergy and they have breakfast bowls that are gluten free.
Terrible customer service. They ran out of regular buns. All they had were chipotle or gluten-free buns, which you have to pay additional money for. That was not properly explained. Why make the customer pay additional money when you are at fault. When I asked to speak to a Manger to have the additional charges taken off, some rude and unprofessional person told me it was my fault for not choosing to have the burgers without a bun.
This is honestly my favorite restaurant. I have never tried African food before visiting here a couple years ago, now I can't get enough. The woman working the front desk is always so sweet and accommodating for my gluten free needs, as I always get the GF injera and it is AMAZING. Can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to indulge in this amazing cuisine properly with the traditional bread as a GF person. 10/10 recommend the Nanya Platter, something for everyone and it has a great variety all in one place. The Fitfit appetizer is amazing as well, mouthwatering and crisp.
If you're thinking about coming here, RUN don't walk, to try this amazing cuisine.
If you’re looking for a causal, cozy brunch, this is your place! The brunch food is delicious & the mimosa/Bloody Mary bar is a fun experience. Brunch in the summer is my favorite: out on the private patio, with great food and a calm atmosphere. I’m there every weekend.
The accommodations for food have been a game changer. It’s hard to find a bar that has gluten free and vegan options. I can always count on something that u can eat there.
Lastly, always say yes to the Herbie Dip as a side. I look forward to it every time I go!
Staff and food were fantastic! My wife has Celiac's disease (gluten free) and they were very knowledgeable and gave my wife a rather large list of menu items to safely eat.
Best in Dayton! Food is incredible, prices are right, wine shop + restaurant + bar all in one place. Did I mention the food is phenomenal? Quality ingredients, many dishes made from scratch, all are full-flavor! And the best part for someone with food allergies, they offer a wide variety of gluten-free deliciousness. Try the "Dig the Fig" GF Pizza. Service is top notch too! Love everything about this place... put it on your must try list.
Brought 6 people and 5 really enjoyed their meal. I loved the Hawaiian Burger. Wife appreciated the gluten free option. Greek fries were good. Only exception was that my daughter didn't care for the pasta but it's a sandwich place so... :)
I became addicted to this place after my 1st visit! The sweet potato noodles are the bomb with any meal. I get the bibicup instead of the bowls because it's a lot of food and the cup is just perfect for me. All fresh and gluten-free. Everything tastes wonderful! 🤌 My 10yo daughter even likes it, and she's a picky eater! Friendly and patient staff. Clean environment. 5 stars all around ☆☆☆☆☆
Nice place to dine if you're visiting Dayton, Ohio and want something a bit more upscale. My wife has celiacs and had no issues getting a gluten free meal. The waiter kindly told us most menu items could be prepared GF, even though there are no markings on the menu.
Food was great! Staff was amazing! I'm a carnivore & someone in my party was gluten sensitive. The employees were friendly & efficient & accommodated our requests during a busy lunch rush... impressive👍❤️
My partner and I went to celebrate Valentines early. We made a reservation in advance and had zero issues the entire experience.
BUT YOURE HERE FOR THE DETAILS so lets lay them out.
1) We immediately were seated with no wait thanks to the reservation
2) Their setup is different than normal resturaunts in that the waitress brings you the menus not the person that seats you so getting the menus did take a second but that wasnt an issue for us.
3) As a person with a gluten allergy/celiacs the online menu was more helpful than the in-person menu but the waitress was super helpful/kind.
4) We got the fries/frittes - THE DILL KETCHUP IS THE BOMB, if you dont like truffles then you wont like the aoli. The fries are the small shoestring kind so they are super crunchy and not oily. You get a whole bucket of them which we demolished.
5) I will preface saying Roost is not about BOLD flavors their style is more enhancing and pairing the natural flavor of things. This is not going to be like Sueno (high end bold latin). Their food is complex but natural italian inspired.
6) My partner got the Veal and potatos and I got the chicken with GF raveoli.
7) I tried his dish and it was AMAZING. Cooked perfectly, amazing natural flavors with complexity. The tiny onions were adorable and delish. 100% will come back for this dish alone.
8) Initially the waitress forgot about my allergy so they had to redo my dish but she was so sweet about it. They redid my dish in less than 10 minutes which was shockingly quick. Chicken was moist but skin was crispy. The raveoli were slightly better than Aldi GF raviolis (my GF people will know this is a big deal) and the sauce was light but still flavorful. Plenty of sauce for everything.
9) We thought the meal portions were good sized for the prices. Keep in mind portions are made for courses! If you dont get an app/salad or dessert you might not feel there is enough food. This is not the place you leave with leftovers.
10) We did the Sorbetto and the Spumoni for dessert. Presentation for these were great. I LOVED the hallowed out lemon. The gelato was really good, again light flavors but a sweet/salty combo (strawberry, chocolate, pistachio with a salty dark/semi-sweet shell and a sweeter chocolate sauce) BUT we should have asked for a knife and fork because the ball kept rolling all over while trying to eat it.
11) We didnt do drinks because we went to Century Bar after
12) Only minor stuff that is not Roosts fault is the parking -Oregon district parking sucks
Overall meal was $115 ish including tip (1 app, 2 entres, 2 desserts). We left full and satisfied and felt we got really good food/service. I had no symptoms after eating everything. We read the negative reviews before going and felt they were likely due to impatience (good food takes time and this isant fast food), and people not realizing the type of food/flavors Roost is offering.
If you like spicy pizza then this is the place for you. I don't do spicy. My partner likes a little spicy but it was too much for him. We even asked if it was spicy and the young man said no.
I have gluten sensitivity and the gluten free crust was very good. I don't know if they make it in a separate area or not. No problems for me tho.
The BEST restaurant I've been to in Dayton! This place goes above and beyond any expectation that I have for any restaurants. The hot tea was served in a French press, they created a house salad for me that was vegan and gluten free, and the rosemary potatoes and the zucchini were so absolutely amazing that I can't wait to order them again soon. You can see the little extra special touches in the pictures like the fact that they bring the fancy teacup with a little plate with a stirring spoon, a glass jar of honey, and the most delicious salad dressing I think I've ever had in my life was served in a glass dessert cup with spoon. I sent a tip to the cook, and I have only done that maybe twice in my entire 46 years. You seriously cannot go wrong here. I am ultra-picky, have lots of allergies, and cannot think of a place I'd rather eat.
