Rick's place is an absolute gem!
We recently visited and had the most amazing night!
The food was exceptional with delicious options that cater for lots of different dietary requirements.
We needed gluten, dairy and onion free, and had the first dining experience where this was "too easy" and we felt like the inclusion and not exclusion.
Rick and Andy are warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely thoughtful, making us all feel so welcome. They take so much pride in providing a fantastic dining experience for all.
Couldn't recommend Rick's Place enough!
Looking forward to our next visit!
Ordered the food via phone than online. Easier to call as the online app was a little weird but that could of been the phone. The gf grilled Barra was really nice but the normal calami and prawns were over cooked/fried. We like the chips to. Are at the beach.
The person on the phone was so helpful with allergies and customer service. EVERYTHING GLUTEN FREE (besides 4 small items) ?! Are you kidding how amazing for those with this allergy, I asked to make it on a separate pan to avoid cross contamination which they were so easy with. Thanks guys ◡̈
Perfect place for all gluten free people and their friends. Food is amazing and even coeliac friendly. Suitable for everyday meal or special occasion. We vere very happy to decide to have our special dinner here.
Delicious and Gluten Free available -with separate fryer !
Cleanest fish and chip shop I’ve ever seen! Smiling friendly staff ! Found this gem online looking for a GF meal after a day on the peninsula ! Will definitely be returning . Highly recommended 10/10 Ordered flake, scallops, dimsim , potato cake , chips and fried pineapple all very tasty and fresh !
Waitress was very thorough clarifying dietary requirements for gluten free Southern Fried chicken & chips pack. I had asked for chicken salt on my chips but they were not salted and were not as crispy as I would have liked. The chicken however was so delicious, it was offered as a 3 piece pack but to my surprise they gave 4 pieces. Even my hubby who isn't coeliac was impressed with the chicken and said it was better than the Colonel's version 😆
These guys have such an amazing menu. Everyone in the family is covered. Even a great number of gluten free options. Check it out. We will be back again for sure 👌
GF friends, look no further for your lunch or dinner in St Kilda!!
Absolute gluten free taco perfection! *please note - I do not say this lightly*
We had the beef, pork and fish tacos, and I honestly can’t tell you which was my favourite! Full of flavour. The fish was probably the best fish taco I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot of tacos) haha
The owner, chef, bartender and overall awesome guy, Peter is worth just popping in to have a chat with if you’re not hungry! Grab their new house GF beer, and if you’re feeling brave - maybe have a boogie on the dance floor!
Thank you so much for a lovely experience, tasty food and great chat. We will definitely be back soon.
Incredible pub. Can’t recommend enough. Amazing food, great selection of drinks, amazing service, great vibe. Even do coeliac friendly meals AND beers! A jewel in west/north Melbourne’s crown.
Called in a phone order to ask about the gluten free options, to have the lady who answered tell.me they were busy and couldn't provide any detaisl other than chips.
I proceeded to order to be told there would be ready in 20min only to wait nearly an hour for the order to be ready
I’ve ordered several times from here online and have always enjoyed the burgers. Finally popped into today with some family. We were happily greeted and welcomed. Were talked through the menu helpfully and were told that coeliac was not a problem. Excellent service from start to finish.
Great quality food, fresh cooked, best traditional burger on the peninsula and to top it off they can do fish and chips Gluten Free.
Great family owned place and we bypass 4 other places to get from here.

I popped in tonite and ordered the brisket, but I'm gluten and dairy free, the staff were fantastic it turns out for once dairy was a bigger issue than gluten (all options marked and a seperate fryer) but they swapped it over for steak. Which was safe and delicious. Thanks so much
Friendly, fantastic cafe with an exciting range of delicious offerings to suit all in our party of three, including one coeliac and one vegetarian. Fantastic coffee, friendly service and a ovely pet friendly outdoor area to boot. Surprising gem of a place, will definitely be back!
I can't believe this place is not widely known to the Gluten Free community, they are coeliac Australia accredited restaurant. Price is reasonable, food is great.
The chicken here is absolutely succulent—perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor! The stuffing is out of this world, easily the best I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend this place for the ultimate BBQ chicken experience! No photo because there wasn’t a single bite left after our Christmas Eve feast!
**Gluten Free friendly
Very friendly staff, they advised that everything on the menu can be gluten free except snacks and rolls. My wife surprised me with a gluten free parma as I have not been able to eat parma for a very long time. We will definitely be back
We recently held my father’s wake at The Victoria Hotel in Woodend, with close to 400 people in attendance, and I cannot thank Emily and Tash enough. They are, hands down, one of the most amazing and supportive teams I’ve ever come across. Everything ran so smoothly—from the service to the atmosphere—but what truly stood out was the care and attention they gave to our family.
They made sure we were eating, had a drink in hand, and never once let the scale of the event affect the warmth and personal attention they offered. A special thank you for the thoughtful care shown to me as a coeliac—it meant so much.
We’ve had countless comments from guests about how beautiful the venue and service were. Thank you again, Emily and Tash—you helped us honour Dad in the most wonderful way. Highly recommend.
Perfectly seasoned fried gluten free chicken, excellent sides, margarita was great, very friendly fast service, slaaaaay!!! Even the lighting was nice.
The staff were so delightful and accomodating! The food tastes great with some delicious gluten free options. My friends and I have gone a couple times recently and both times we felt very well looked after! Probably the best table service I’ve ever gotten :) We’ll definitely be making this a regular part of our routine and look forward to coming back soon!!
Go here. Be ye pauper or royal, vegetarian or celiac, moustachioed or clean shaven, you will find what you seek at the missen link.
Never have I so enjoyed being slathered in grease. I know people who drive a several hundred kilometre pilgrimage regularly just to taste the ambrosia of traralgon's centre of fulfillment.
I was thinking of this place for a week, and after 12 hours of travel, made it, and found it closed. After fleeting shocked eye contact with the master of victuals inside, she opened up and fed my dear sister and I anyway. They have my permanent adoration and undying loyalty, and if you pass this place by, your life will be worse for it.
This place if gluten free heaven!!!! I tried the gluten free battered barramundi, gluten free chips and gravy and, to top it off, a gluten free pineapple fritter!! Such great batter and friendly service 10/10, highest praises to this place on all accounts
Burger burger is a great place to eat.
As a fellow coeliac, the Gluten Free burgers are made with care and safe :)
The burgers certainly will not disappointment.
Plenty of parking available both out the front and around the corner near the station
What a lovely place to share a meal, or simply a coffee.
The food was delicious, the serving staff attentive and pleasant.
Seating was available both inside and outside. We choose outside as we had the family dog with us.
Loved the fact that there were Gluten Free options.
The coffee was strong and well made.
Plus there is the added bonus that there is a gorgeous gift and antique store attached. We had a lovely time exploring all of the interesting items and making our purchases.
