Top 10 Gluten-Free Spots for Fries Enthusiasts in Maryland

Lucas

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for dessert too - butter chicken was fire, and that gluten-free cupcake? Unreal. Definitely coming back.

Wonderful server, delicious food, safe for my daughter with celiac. Really a treasure of a place.

Gluten free! No inside seating, so if you are buying a hot and ready item you'll be sitting outside or in your car to eat. Took someone with celiac there, they got to have their first chicken tender, churro, and onion rings in years. They were delish, with a lot of flavor in the breading.

Cozy Spot with Great Food and Vibes Loved my visit to Golden West Cafe! I had a hot chai latte that really hit the spot, and the High Mesa polenta with chorizo and an egg over easy was delicious. They were super accommodating with my gluten-free needs and brought out corn tortillas without me even asking. The vibe is laid back and comfy—perfect for a relaxing meal. I’ll definitely be back!

Oh my dear beloved Burtons, This is our go-to restaurant as a Celiac family. Any event, celebration, etc, we are at Burtons. Unfortunately, the Riverdale location is going off of our list and will be returning to the Alexandria location. When I say we go for all the celebrations, I'm not joking. Yesterday was the worst experience we have ever had at any restaurant and it was brunch on Father's Day. Mother's Day was fine. We were there. No issues. But, Father's Day was a diabolical disaster. If this was our first experience, which I fear it was some people's first time, I would never come back. Let me start by saying, the serving staff was amazing. You could tell the kitchen was falling apart but they were trying their best to hold the front of house together. I am going to repeat that we were there for brunch so when I say there were no water pitchers or food was unavailable, you know it got worse throughout the day into dinner service. Why advertise specials that you don't have? My husband and I both ordered off the specials menu. Appetizer sold out (at brunch.. yikes), main course was unrecognizable. They didn't have mashed potatoes, which were part of the dish. The sauce was missing from the chicken, and the chicken was more like Jerky. Needless to say, I took my meal home and didn't eat it. I was offered french fries at the end of my meal when I was informed there were in fact no mashed potatoes cooked. I took those home too. My daughter also ordered chicken that she didn't eat because hers was also a dried out jerky form. I will say, the waitress did comp a piece of chocolate cake, but after spending $150 on meals that 3/4 of us didn't eat, I decided you need to do better. In this economy, $150 for a family of 4 to have brunch comes with a certain expectation and you failed. Like I said, our family adores Burtons and we know what this restaurant is capable of and a busy brunch isn't an excuse to lose customers. I can only imagine what a mess dinner service was when you were running out of food by lunch time. Poor management destroys business. Do better. You have a strong reputation to uphold in the allergy and celiac community.

Full gluten free menu! I tried gf fried chicken sandwich and loved it. The bun held together and was not gritty. There must be a bit of heat in the gf batter but it was delicious. No bacon for me but added pickle slices. I can't wait to try more gf dishes here The waiter was great

Szabina Taylor

Love this gem. The food is so delicious and the smoothies are out of this world. Everything is organic, vegan, and gluten free. This place is a must try even if you don’t have dietary restrictions. This is because the food is fantastic!

Laura Bagley

Great food and service in a fantastic location. So many gluten free options! Our server, James, was knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful in explaining all the gluten free options available to us. My husband LOVED the beef stew: great flavor, plenty of beef. My salad was huge and fresh, no wilty greens. We split an order of fish and chips, made gluten free with specific batter and dedicated fryers. The batter was SO crispy. My husband ordered the creme brulee with whipped cream and fresh berries for dessert, and it was AMAZING. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to a return trip.

Grace Moore

Great place for breakfast and lunch! The employee was very helpful in explaining what menu items could be modified to be gluten free. Very generous portion sizes as well. I will definitely come back for dinner and to sit in the outdoor patio!

Rico Mason

The chicken here is always great. Some of the best fries I’ve had in a long time. I also appreciate the great service. My wife is Celiac (gluten free) and never had any issues.

Julie Smith

I’ve loved Thrashers since I was a kid. So glad I can still enjoy the fries now that I’m Celiac. 😋

Jared Boardman

Great food (wings are great) as well as a very good gluten free menu for my wife. Worth going more times for her safety ❤️

Jen Reilly

Ordered takeout: burgers for 3 people and crab dip appetizer. The server didn't check that all items were added to my bag. The crab dip hadn't been added. Fortunately, I checked before leaving. The server quickly and politely retrieved the crab dip. The burgers were VERY good. Choice of healthy sides was very much appreciated! I got steamed broccoli that was good. Gluten-free bun on my burger was great! All-in-all, and very positive experience.

This used to be a haven for us as hove to eat gluten free. The waiter informed us that they have changed the procedures, and are now breading in this facility. Thou the friers are no longer dedicated. No more gf fries. The waitress was courteous and helpful. Corporate changed the procedures and left us gf out.

The waiter treated us very well. The food was very varied and delicious, but unfortunately, despite serving a gluten-free burger, my celiac son had stomach pain and diarrhea after today's meal. Please take care of cross contamination so that it happens to more celiacs for the safety of their health. Thank you

I have a gluten allergy that I made special requests for them to prepare it. But they didn’t listen to any of my requests and I ended up getting sick because of their malpractice with allergies

We had a very nice experience there last night for our party of 8. Our server was great, attentive, and personable. The food was very good as well. The Cream of Crab was not the best but those crispy Brussels were on point. The kids menu portion sizes were very large as well. And It was wonderful that they had gluten free options throughout their menu. Thank you!

The music would randomly go from blaring to loud but tolerable and not only our table but others were consistently asking about it. The food was decent but they don't have much for anyone that need a gluten free outside of a salad and goodluck finding out about the dressings. The service was nice, accurate and kind so if you don't mind loud and dont have dietary allergies I recommend giving it a try.

Rowena Redlich

The menu has several gluten free options: seafood , steak and salads. I do not eat seafood. However, I was able to enjoy a pimento burger, no bun, with several options for sides. I chose cheese grits, which were fabulous. The wait staff was knowledgeable and double checked with chef that everything, down to the ketchup was gf. Then the manager came to the table to discuss personally with me my allergies and celiac to ensure my meal was 100% gf.

Very impressive quality vegan restaurant, with outstanding vegan sushi— extremely well- done! The Unagi with truffle is phenomenal! The watermelon ‘ tuna’ is very appealing, yuzu-tangy, the Margarita cashew- cheese pizza very good. Perhaps add a basil frond for the ‘ industinguishable’ thing we all are going for! Good choice as vegan cheeses are not yet ‘prime- time’ as my old friend used to say. I will be a regular, of course: I am why Real Food Daily was created in Los Angeles, my father is why Food& Wine industry was created. I was kidnapped when the US fell, as was Donald Trump. They stole my Gulfstream by black people using robotics as- police, and in Trump’s case— he was pretending to be my genius father in the oil business as were Cheney and Bush Sr—I don’t know whether the black JD kept the money yet. Oprah Winfrey murdered my mother on my Gulfsyream jet election week 2008 when I was supposed to be the VP. The most famous French chef was my personal chef as a young princess, so of course we are very much looking forward to restaurants like PLANTA in the fine- dining meat- and - dairy- replacement space. It all in vegan should taste identical, cook by chemical processes, by texture and mouthfeel, identical. It should be packaged in the same quantities, commercial and retail grocery, and be adopted as an interest of State. I was busy being tortured, as my murdered mother would say, or I would be with agar- agar, aquafaba, textured soy protein, seitan, vital wheat gluten, making masterpieces of my own. My heat sickness migraines were misdiagnosed as statistically impossible acute psychiatry— as Biden was kidnapped by Harris using Jewish invasion-pseudomedical— and in my case I was a PhD in the faculty of Harvard, disappeared i Virginia. My family prostheticized by black Marine purchases of old Navy robotics. And voila, the perfect crime. Trumps gold buildings, the Chicago Convention (Joe Biden by extortion not feeling well, you see…a danger to himself and others, of course… can’t be trusted with a gun, but nothing political, not money involved, of course). For background on the review, I make vegan foie de canard, vegan soufflés—went to French culinary school — vegan boeuf bourgignon. Everyone, even in Trumps middle- class lockdown, can make the old vegan burger. You remember? Not billionaire- acute-psych? Nuts, peas, beans, bread- crumbs. In the processor. Tea at the Plaza now has a $90 vegan etagere. Kidnapped Trump didn’t do well on his own ‘ billionaire psych - eval’ so he is now penniless, pan- handling and cannot stumble in leg- chains and past Israeli psych torturers, it to Court. The Palm Court. Hell, I’m indigent in virginia without private aviation, and I’d sport. No errors, Doctor??? I’m the one who removed the Dean of Harvard Law. Clothing still in Harvard faculty laundry. Paranoid, Doctor? Have a vegan ‘Japanese steak’ at PLANTA and maybe you will get better. Do doctors never get sick? I can teach at HMS, offered by Summers a University professorship. He was on the Nobel in Econ Sci that ended the US. plant- based, Docttor. It’s good for ya. I’ll be doing the psych- evaluation. And you will be In restraints. Not the country, in its downfall.
