Many, many options for celiac and/or gluten intolerant folks

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.

I met a friend for brunch there. It was my first time dining in. The place was busy and the atmosphere was very cozy. It felt like visiting a family friend's house for a meal. The customer service was excellent. They really believe in their food and were happy to share options and how much care they took in creating it. I had the Gluten free pancakes and a strawberry based drink/smoothie. The food was amazing as always. I have also had 2 other items from their menu in the past and it's consistently good. I highly recommend visiting and experiencing it yourself.

My favorite item is the grilled wings. They are so delicious with a bit of smokiness, and they are gluten free (I have Celiac disease). Several other GF items including buns.

Bree Viens

The Tipped Angus Stout was the most delicious beer I’ve ever had! I haven’t had beer in close to 10 years because of a gluten intolerance, and Silly Yak was the best experience reintroducing beer that I can tolerate! I will be back for sure!!!

Shane Dumas

We loved all the breakfast options. My wife has a gluten allergy and was able to find French toast along with many more options. I like that they had a protein pancake option along with many other healthy options for breakfast. We liked it so much we ate there two days in a row. We will eat there again when we are in town.

Menu is well marked for gluten free and other dietary needs. Staff is helpful and friendly. Have healthy options that the whole family will enjoy.

They do not have a dedicated fryer. Still, they have a nice variety of GF options and try to minimize cross contamination.

Christopher Bedrossian

Food was amazing, had the bison burger, highly recommend. Prices were aligned well, service was fantastic (servers name I believe was Dan). Drinks were on point and the ambiance was classy but not pretentious. They also accommodate gluten free eaters really well. Looking forward to coming back. ONLY knock was the fries, think they could have been a littler more crispy but hey thats my opinion.

Zheng Zheng

Great tasting pizza but lacked one important ingredient; Bad customer service really ruined the experience. Staff gave attitude when we asked about gluten free options and got annoyed when asking about toppings.

Arthur Moore

Incredible food! Good Gluten Free options. Parking can be a challenge here during peak hours.

Melissa B

AP was so nice and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the butter chicken and saag paneer. I recommend all of these. They even have gluten-free naan!

Ricardo Patiño

I liked my gluten-free burger, thank you, roderich.

Mike Hillyard

The gluten free pizza was great.

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

They have a gluten free menu and as soon as I mentioned it to my waiter he asked if I had Celiac - the manager even came out to talk to me and make sure that I felt safe. I ordered the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna and they were able to substitute the sauce for a GF one! They also checked to see which cocktails were gluten free for me. Highly recommend!

Leah Ferrer

Fantastic service, food and cocktails- we had dinner here last night and loved it. First, I love that they have gluten free items on their menu and not just salads. I’m talking about wings, clams casino, Maryland crab cake etc!! Probably the best crab cake I’ve had! Today I came back for more just for take out. The staff is just so friendly - I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Nick Plahn

Will be back. Food was great and portions were good. Dishes did come out separately but overall service was good. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options clearn marked on the menu. The owner did badger me about leaving a review at the end. He offered to sweeten the deal with some freebies but I declined, gotta keep the review honest.

Thomas Stuppy

We brought our family to the restaurant on Thursday, April 17th for dinner, and it didn't go well--long delays, issues with service, etc--leading us to leave without eating. The owner and manager reached out to apologize and asked us to try again; we returned Monday, April 21st to a truly excellent dining experience. The service was stellar, the food was fantastic, and we truly felt appreciated as customers. TONS of gluten free options, felt like a great, safe place to eat with an allergy. I would absolutely recommend the Gaithersburg Melting Pot after tonight's dinner; we will be returning!

Cyndee Furukawa

Delicious! The buffet had a nice variety of vegetarian and meat choices. Most buffet items were gluten-free and staff pointed out what wasn't. Excellent service.

Marc

Great food, prices, and gluten free options.

This Mediterranean restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a vibrant open kitchen that instantly set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The concept of building your own bowl or wrap is executed flawlessly here, with an impressive array of fresh, high-quality ingredients that cater to every taste and dietary preference. What sets Mezeh apart is their commitment to fresh, natural ingredients. Everything is made from scratch daily, and you can taste the quality in every component. As someone who appreciates healthy yet flavorful food, I was thrilled to see vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options so seamlessly integrated into the menu. The ambiance is casual yet inviting, with plenty of seating (including pet-friendly outdoor tables!) and a clean, modern vibe. At around $11 for a generously portioned meal, it’s an incredible value for the quality and quantity you get. Whether you’re a Mediterranean food lover or just looking for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal, this place will not disappoint. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Gary Jarocha

Great place. Straightforward. Any kind of crepe you can imagine and buckwheat for those who eat gluten free. Waffles sandwiches and other lunch items are also available. Excellent lavazza cold brew. We will be back.

Crysti Ellen

Great pizza thin and crispy. Got the gluten free and loved. Great prices

Brian Baxter

Dahlia L

Great causal meeting space with lots of drink and menu options. Wish there were some more gluten-free baked goods because the desserts all looked delicious. Lots of Latin flare items and perfect for brunch.

Alissa Vera

great bar/happy hour bites and love their burgers, and they have gluten free options!

Milagros Ortiz

Nice place. I just missed salad options. Staff very cordial and helpful. They accommodated my gluten free needs even though I order it after paying

Adam Murphy

Great food, great service, and a nice, modern space. Lots of dishes can be made gluten free—just ask your server. I had the pad see eew with beef and the mango sticky rice and both were delicious.

Audrey Olney

I was so disappointed in this cafe. I went for dinner and was assured that my meal was gluten free. It was listed gluten free on the menu. When it arrived I asked again if it was gluten free and they said yes. But as I was eating, they told me it was not gluten free. By that point I had already eaten it. As someone with the autoimmune disorder celiac disease, I will now be sick for several months. They apologized and compensated the meal. I would never go back.

Elizabeth Challenor-Reese

Very crowded, but Celiac-Friendly

Alexa Melgar

Elias Taqueria is an absolute gem! The food is truly delicious, with fantastic gluten-free options that don’t compromise on flavor. Every dish is fresh, well-prepared, and packed with authentic taste. The atmosphere is just as impressive, warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed dining experience. With spring and summer just around the corner, this will definitely be a go-to spot for enjoying great food in a lovely setting. To top it all off, the team at Elias Taqueria is outstanding friendly, professional, and always making sure guests have the best experience. Highly recommended!

Matthew Cohen

This restaurant is not gluten-free friendly. They bread and fry their bacon. Ordered a wedge salad and the bacon came out breaded. I questioned it. The manager came out and explained that is the only way they can get their bacon crispy. Clearly they do not order high quality food from their supplier. The menu mentions nothing about breading the "applewood smoked bacon". Ordered a mule. It came out tasting like setzer and lime juice. They remade it and it was still sub-par. Do not recommend.

Ivan Maertens Aramayo

So I came here on a friend's recommendation. I was looking for a particular empanada, but they didn't have it. I settled to try some off their menu. The cheese and rice gluten-free were my choices, and they tasted great. The service could have had a little outgoing friendliness and not just here your cash and bye. The atmosphere was small and needed to be a bit more open. They had several large freezers behind the counter. I'm sure they have a good reason that I'm not aware. Overall, yummy empanadas.

We just happened to be walking by this place and we were hungry. My wife is gluten free so we stopped in to ask if they had any gluten free options and they have a GF waffle! We both got one and they were delicious. They also use homemade whipped cream. They have indoor and outdoor seating, books to read, and a lot of different food items, including take away options. The price was a little high, but it was a cute place to try and service was very good.

Teresa Sikora

We ordered a feast! It was all delicious- the Al Pastor was to die for!! The service and the price were awesome too!! AND it was gluten free!!!!

My wife eats gluten free and normally makes due with a lettuce leaf for a bun. Why? Because gluten free buns that taste good are as rare as unicorns. Well tonight my wife caught a unicorn, complete with a rainbow mane. To quote her, “best gluten free burger bun. Ever. “

Mark Poremba

Great Gluten free bread along with really good Philly cheese steak

Meg Silfee

Great food. Allergy friendly menu. I was able to easily order gluten and dairy free items without loss of flavor. Service was friendly and accommodating.
