Fast service but GF foods are prepared on same grill as non GF foods.

T West

Food was delicious!! Love that there are gluten free options. The service was absolutely outstanding! The whole experience was wonderfully unique.

Went Friday. They were able to accommodate but the short rib nachos which were advertised as GF I was told they used a shared fryer. They do carry Udi buns.

Malcolm Tyler

Nice place to enjoy a tasty pizza or Italian dish with various beverages. Simple furnishings, big screen tv for sports enthusiasts. Gluten-free crust offered.

David Serrano

Love the pizza, love the wings. They even have a gluten free pizza.

I had a wonderful experience here last weekend! With Celiac disease it's sometimes hard to find a place that's safe for me to eat, but the server and the manager of Proof On Main both assured me of how seriously they take food allergies. It meant the world for the manager to take the time to speak with us. My meal was delicious and it was even better knowing that they care about food allergy safety! Next time I'm in the city we will definitely be back.

Be prepared to spend money, but be prepared to eat in one of the finest restaurants in Louisville. The food is exceptional. Service is impeccable. Our waiter overheard us discussing our future grandchild (due 2023) and presented the expectant parents with a cute onesie and bibs. My husband has gluten allergies and they immediately presented him with a gluten free menu. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a chain taco place in the lobby of a MOXY hotel (Marriott?). Food is good. Order from kiosk. Big bar. Hip modern trendy interior to match hotel. Got breakfast tacos - corn tortillas, gluten free gf per server. Got one of each of the two kinds, they were both good. $5 per taco is a bit much as the portions are small. Not the best value for money, but good stuff.

Gluten free pizza crust is so good, and vegan! Amazing pizza

Jesse Genovese

The experience was great. The meats were great. The atmosphere was pleasant but standard. Cheese bread is good and gluten free. Pineapple is amazing. They are very generous with the cheaper meats, but the more expensive ones don't come around as much and they slice off small pieces of it. If you want a particular item, don't be afraid to ask for it, as much as you want. They will get it for you. Don't fill up on the basics. Go hungry.

Caitlin Body

When I went it was almost closing time and they didn't have much left. But the customer service was great! She knew they were running low so when I asked for some rice she got some from the back. I will be coming back since I am right around the corner. Being gluten-free it is nice to have an option so close by.

Laura Bergner Owens

I've been ordering dine-in and carry-out from here 5 or 6 times a year since 2018. My orders have always been ready, correct, and we'll made! The employees are great too! The customer service has always been fantastic no matter how busy they are. I can't have #gluten or dairy and I've never had a problem with my orders. I get the Unwich and customizing my order online is really easy. Get the app!

Rick Castagno

Excellent, both service and food. Will be back. They also understand and catered to food allergies (ie, celiac disease).

Heather Walker

We ate breakfast here a couple of times during our stay. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. They also have gluten-free options that were very tasty. We felt refreshed and full and that we did well for ourselves. We would definitely eat there again.

Jennifer Noel

This is a hidden gem in Downtown Louisville. They have fantastic food for all tastes. The vegan menu is extensive. If you are gluten sensitive, go for the gluten-free injera bread. Definitely try the collards and green beans.

Doc Crow’s has the most number of reviews (+4,000 as of 4/2025) and they are all consistently high. Plus, I was in a hotel around the corner - definitely had to stop by. Ate at the bar. Great atmosphere - plenty of bourbon and beer for you to choose from. They have a dedicated gluten free menu - a photo is attached. All the meats and the obvious sides are okay - as are the wings. Got the wings and the ribs. I did politely ask if I could sample a small piece of brisket and was told my only option was to “order the sampler platter.” It’s great that they have that - but I’m not interested in sampling pulled pork or chicken. My preference is beef brisket and ribs. The ribs fell off the bone. The wings were good - nothing special. The baked beans were really good. The guy next to me was unhappy with the food, as he doesn’t like dry rub style and prefers lots of sauce, and he doesn’t like fatty brisket - they charge $2 for lean brisket and I guess he didn’t go for it. Again, I didn’t get to try the brisket and there is no ability to order just meat, and there are no 2 or 3 meat combo plates.

Clara Martin

Super good burger and toppings, but the reason I started going there was I can get a Gluten Free hamburger bun.

Sarah Phenia

FANTASTIC PLACE!!! Excellent food, super accommodating of my food allergies (so appreciated). Gluten-free buns are available. Staff was super friendly and made you feel comfortable, and he even let us sign their Packer flag. Must visit when in Louisville!!

Gluten free breakfast! I was so happy to find this place during my stay. It was pricey but, I had a kale and tomato omelette, gluten free toast (toasted on a cookie sheet in the oven to avoid the toaster) and mint berries. Worth the money and I did not feel sick!

Antonio Hanna

Stayed at hotel for a conference and went to have breakfast in the morning. They were only offering the breakfast buffet for $18 per person. I have a restrictive diet due to allergies - no gluten, eggs or dairy and so the only things I could eat at the buffet was bacon and potatoes. I asked kindly to be charged less than $18 as I would only be eating bacon and potatoes due to my allergies. They declined my request and accommodation and made no offer or alternative. My spouse would of ate the full buffet and so we would of still spent a good amount of money.... but instead went somewhere else. Wouldn’t recommend simply based off unwillingness to accommodate to people with food allergies.

Dan Pete

Met with friends for dinner before a show. Excellent food, and appreciated the effort to advise me of their gluten free options, a dietary must.

Charity Serrano

This place is AMAZING!!! I have celiacs disease and they went ABOVE and BEYOND the manager helped with the menu and personally made my food . The server Ashley had such amazing hospitality amd so personable!! Food was super delicious !! This is a Must try !!!

Alli Farrington

Fall in a Cup 🍂 is the perfect autumn drink, I got it iced and was not disappointed. They also have dairy-free and gluten-free snack bars (10/10 would recommend). Comfort vibe plus comfy seats.

Perseus

This was my first time in Kentucky and I stopped here for lunch. The food and service were amazing! Everything was fresh. You can build your own bowl or choose from signature bowls among other food options! They have gluten free options and gluten free cookies as well. I like Chipotle, but this was so much better. :)
