El barrio is one of Birminghams restaurants. You can expect to wait on friday and saturday evenings due to the high demand for delicious food at a reasonable price. The servers work harmoniously during busy times and have a streamlined process so that you have the best dining experience. They are gracious about accommodating dietary needs and restrictions which is so welcome due to the Birmingham food scene largely lacking that. The only things that could make them better is gluten free churros on the menu.
Try the queso!

Thankful that they offer dietary options, although the staff could be better trained. Was told I could have the Brussel sprouts (coated in soy sauce - "because it was soy based" - I have celiac disease). After spending $32 for 10" rectangular pizza (3 toppings) that was so-so, I'm not keen on returning.
We love Slice! Our favorite local pizza and beer joint. We’ve never had a pizza that disappointed. I will say, even my gluten-loving husband prefers their GF pizza crust to the regular one! (I do too). White Shadow and Hot Mama are our favorite flavors. Their salads are also amazing! (And generous which we appreciate). Got the cheesecake once and it did NOT disappoint. The wings are good but expensive - you can find more wings for less elsewhere. Can’t beat the $5 wine and draft beer happy hour though!
My daughter has Celiac Disease and we told our waiter that she had to have only gluten free food. We even asked if the fries were fried in a separate fryer from the breaded chicken, and he assured us that the fries were fried separately. He led us to believe that he notated the order to make sure no gluten contact could happen. She was up all night sick throwing up, so she clearly was fed gluten. The bill was $93.12 for three people, and wasn’t even that good. It is very disheartening to pay almost $100 for food then be up all night throwing up. I will definitely never return to another Cheesecake Factory and definitely encourage anyone with Celiac Disease never trust eating at one.
Great service, our large group was able to sit relatively quickly. Really good food. Burnin’ Love burger with the fried jalapeño medallions and Chipotle aioli is always a winner with me.
Everyone had different dietary restrictions, from no-sugar to gluten free to no dairy to no lots-of-things but everyone was able to eat something delicious.
Enjoyed my gluten free grilled cheese! My son enjoyed his chicken pesto sandwich. Server was friendly and attentive. The tea was delicious and fresh. Will definitely eat here again!
Rojo is a staple in the area and I can’t imagine Birmingham without it! Tucked in beautiful Highland Park this gem is a must stop for the local atmosphere and diverse eats. Many gluten free/vegan options, dine in or to go… stuck at home? DoorDash it!!! You have to try the David’s Quesadilla, it’s a personal favorite. Stop in for open mic night for a good time or visit during any other special nights/events. Thank you for everything Rojo!❤️
Gluten friendly it is not. If you have celiac you won’t be able to eat here, period.
My family decided to eat here because usually Mexican restaurants are easy to navigate with a gluten intolerance. This was probably the most difficult restaurant I’ve ever visited, aside from maybe a bakery. The manager said they recently changed their roasted chicken and it now contains gluten, so there was not a single protein I could eat. That was a challenge I’ve never encountered. The queso had it. Even the ranch dip on the table contained gluten—which I ate prior to the manager letting me know— it never occurred to me ranch might have it. Again, something I’ve never seen before.
I will say the staff was extremely nice about it, which is why I didn’t take the review under 3 stars. They even comped my meal for the issues (the first dish they brought out clearly had ingredients the manager mentioned had gluten) and never charged me for the guacamole taco they had to replace it with, which was completely unnecessary but appreciated.
If they had just one protein option it would’ve been an completely different experience. I’ve never been to a sit down restaurant where I couldn’t even order a protein—-usually it’s the go to fallback. With it being such a common issue, I hope one day they can try to be just a little accommodating, especially given that it’s widely assumed a Mexican restaurant will have plenty of options.
Fleming's is a great place for food and drinks! We love the bartenders here; they are friendly and attentive. The food is delicious, They have a gluten free menu and do a very good job accommodating dietary restrictions. The chocolate lava cake is a must have!!
I loved this place! I've been to several Mediterranean restaurants and I always tasted the after taste of Lamb. I didn't grow up eating lamb so I never liked it. I tried their soup with lamb in it and it had no after taste! There are plenty of gluten-free options as well. Great food, service, and great people!
Low salt dietary concerns? Gluten free? (No wheat). No problem!!! This location is my happy go-to place when visiting Drs in Birmingham!!! My unique, custom orders are always perfect and folks are pleasant!! LOVE Y'ALL!! And I'm not a regular McDonald's food-fan but this location I love!! I sometimes go several months between visits and still the service and quality is always top notch!! Loved my drive thru visit today! Many kudos to all staff!
