Came in for the gluten free cheesesteak as I kept seeing it recommended online. It was a solid sandwich. The GF bread was the best part. The steak and cheese needed a little love, some seasoning, and a little more of it in the sandwich.
My absolute favorite restaurant! The most delicious food, the safest for people with celiac, the kindest staff, the best vibes, most amazing happy hour! I couldn’t recommend a place more!
Phenomenal food and service, can’t say enough nice things about this place! Loved that the chicken pizza had a smoked option!
My dad had a gluten free sub with fries that he said was delicious, we will be back for sure!
I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! I am just passing through town and saw that it was highly recommended on the app and it absolutely did not disappoint… With the menu as robust as the cheesecake factory the fact that almost anything can be made gluten-free is it extremely impressive. I am celiac and tried the calamari and the lump crabcake dinner and it was absolutely delicious. No reaction! Highly recommend. I wish I could go back over and over to try just everything that was available gluten-free such as sandwiches, pizzas and burgers, along with a multitude of appetizers and other dishes.
We have been to Charlie's multiple times and always enjoyed delicious food, great drinks, and awesome service each time. I wanted to specifically highlight that this an amazing place to go for people with food allergies. We went a few weekends ago with my MIL and our family, and we had made a reservation ahead of time that noted my MIL's significant food allergies (corn, gluten, wheat, and dairy). Before we came, they did extra cleaning of the restaurant to avoid cross-contamination and management had briefed the team and our waiter on her allergies. When we arrived they had a special menu prepared for her with all the items she could eat so we didn't have to ask about every one. We ordered lots of food and we all loved our dishes. As each dish came out the waiter noted which had allergens and which didn't so we could easily make sure she got what she needed. She had no reactions and said it was one of the best meals she's ever had. Thank you so much Charlie's for making this so special for us! We will be coming back every time she visits.
100% gluten free. Rated one of the best food trucks in the country for a reason. The food is great and it’s nice knowing you can order anything safely.
The food and whole experience was like a spiritual experience!!
As a person with celiac disease I have one had fried chicken once and it was not anywhere close to being as delicious as the fried chicken sandwich I got here! I also got the fried provolone cheese wheel. YALL!!! 10/10. My gluten eating best friend was as blown away as I was! She said it was the best food PERIOD that she's had in a long time! Would recommend!!
I had a wonderful experience all around. I have three difficult allergies (gluten, soy, cows milk). The woman who took my order was so patient and very willing to double check all the ingredients in the menu items I was planning to order. I ended up being able to order one of their delicious gluten-free pizzas. This is the first time I’ve eaten pizza at a restaurant in three years! I so appreciated the fantastic customer service and the delicious meal.
It's so hard to find gluten free fried chicken, but love bird is amazing and knowledgeable on allergies! I live like 40 minutes away but it's worth it to me to get good gluten free food that I can trust. The Mac and cheese and onion rings are also very good. I need to try the fried pickles next time I go! The fact that everything aside from the bread is gluten free is really amazing. And usually that would make me nervous because cross contamination but everyone I've talked to at lovebird seems to be educated on food allergies and how to keep things safe. I love the popcorn chicken so much. I really can't recommend lovebird enough, thank you guys for giving me good gluten free fries chicken!
Ps, if you opened a location closer to Delco, I'd be there like once a week. I know other celiacs/gluten free people who'd love it too. Just something to consider:)
I’ve been ordering from Mandy’s for 7.5 years, since being diagnosed with celiac. Things have been wonky since ownership changed, but on 12/28/24 I called at 5:15pm and was told they were out of gluten free pizza shells for the evening. Sold out at 5pm on a Saturday? So I ordered a gf turkey hoagie, to which I was told that the owner had taken this item off the menu! What?? I was flabbergasted! This is not an unconventional item, it’s a turkey hoagie!
I continued my order of traditional food for the rest of my family, a pizza and two hoagies, and waited 55 minutes for them, even when the the girl answering phones was telling people 35 minutes(I know this because I stood in the restaurant for 20 mins waiting for my 3 items, since I arrived at the 35 minute mark.)
It was very disappointing, and I hope that the restaurant can stay true to the original owners dream of food for those of us will allergies and restrictions.
We drove from Buffalo to eat here. I must say it was worth it. Fantastic service and delicious crepes. So Fresh and tasty. My wife is celiac and they were accommodating.
They take allergies and celiac very seriously here. Although the menu is not marked, you can ask them what is gluten-free. I'm majority of the entrées are. And they have a dedicated fryer and some of the best fries we have ever had. It is one of our go to places and we feel very safe coming here. They've got great protocols in place.
This place was absolutely amazing. The food was so delicious and healthy. Felt like I was eating my moms homemade dinner. So fresh. Also 100% GF! So no need to worry about cross contamination 🤗
The food here is Deliso! My son has celiac., a severe glueten intolerance, and this is one of the very few places that you can trust to be truly dedicated. The staff is friendly and fast. I highly recommend! Glueten free or glueten full, lol, it's DELISO!
I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone with allergies. My best friend has severe gluten and mushroom allergies, so we were excited to try this fully gluten-free spot. We informed the waitress about her allergies, but it became clear they were not taken seriously. After eating tortilla chips, we were later told the fryer was used for mushrooms—a major cross-contamination issue.
The situation escalated as we anxiously waited to see if an epi-pen or ambulance was necessary. The waitress apologized, but the manager hovered awkwardly, making excuses instead of giving us space to handle the situation. Their poor handling of a life-threatening allergy made an already frightening experience worse. If you have food allergies, avoid this place.
Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food
My daughter and I loved everything about this restaurant. The service was terrific. The tables had beautiful, colorful coverings. The food was amazing and almost everything is gluten free! I had an arepa with chicken salad, it comes topped with creamy shredded gouda. She had the chicken empanadas, which were crispy and delicious. I can't wait to return and try more dishes.
I have to say I'm always skeptical about gluten free pizza, however this pizza was absolutely amazing, the tuna salad was so good, eggplant parmesan white regular pizza everything we ordered was great!

The filet was prepared well. Could have been a little more rare. The salad, vegetables, and mashed potatoes were good. They have all gluten free desserts so I tried the chocolate mousse. It was excellent. The coffee was fine but it wasn’t hot enough.
Not celiac safe at all. Came here because a friend told me the guy who works at the front has celiac and is very conscientious. Not my experience at all. Staff was curt and short. Sicker than I’ve been in a very long time. Really a shame because the food was delicious
Amazing food, outstanding gluten free pizza, service is great we always request Nick he and everyone else is so insanely friendly. We go here every time we are in the city and for a good reason. 10/10 would recommend.
I called and asked how they cook their pizza and they said they cook it in the same area as the gluten stuff and I asked if there’s a way they could cook mine away from the gluten the guy says “oh you will be okay if it’s in the same area. They did not seem to care if there was going to be any cross contamination.
I have celiac so finding good Gluten Free pizza, fried fish sandwich & desserts is a prize!!! Little E’s has a great patio for warm weather but is a little small inside. The waitress was VERY busy and seemed to be the only waitstaff working when we were there. She was pleasant and worked hard to get our food to us.
Solid burger place and the ice cream is good too, especially the peanut butter flavor. Friendly staff, good service. Just remember: cash only (I can only imagine how many times a day the guy taking the order has to break the news to customers as they stare back with a confused look on their face). Gluten free buns are a big plus!
Family friendly atmosphere or perfect for date night. The service was fantastic and was very clean. For us it was amazing because of the many Gluten Free options; my husband has celiacs disease and was so happy to eat out and have so many delicious options (including apps & desserts)! The food was delicious, highly recommend!!
Jay was the most knowledgeable, attentive and kind server! He graciously helps you navigate the large menu by giving sincere recommendations. I have celiac and need extra reassurance that my meal will be prepared gluten free. He made the experience excellent and we will be back thanks to him!
Luigi’s Pizza Fresca – A Fairmount Gem!
If you're in the Fairmount area, Luigi’s Pizza Fresca is a must-visit! I had the pleasure of trying their Fresca Works pizza as well as a custom-built gluten-free pizza, and I was blown away.
Gluten-free pizza can be hit or miss, but Luigi’s absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin, yet strong enough to hold all the delicious cheese and sauce without getting soggy—a rare find. The Fresca Works pizza is also packed with flavor, a perfect choice if you want something hearty and balanced.
I've tried many gluten-free pizzas, and this one easily ranks among the best. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you’ll find something to love here. Highly recommend giving it a try!
Such incredibly good gluten-free food! My daughter, who is the one with celiac, was so excited to get the onion rings and gluten-free Oreo shake! My husband and I do not have to eat gluten-free and still got the gluten-free fried chicken and it was seriously some of the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life! Very, very tender. We drove 20 minutes out of our way to get here and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Wish we lived closer.
