I have been lots of time and the Armored Cow is a great place to grab a cold beer. They have a wide variety of different beers including sours and gluten free beers. And there is always some new flavor to try. Friendly staff and plenty of seating. There is a good food truck there as well.
I love that our server Bee was attentive to all of our needs, made sure that I was safe with my gluten-free diet, and had a huge smile on her face while she was taking care of our large party here tonight. We appreciate you!
We happened upon this amazing pizza when we were downtown while on a recent trip to Charlotte. Our daughter is gluten free and it was by far the best pizza we have ever had. The GF crust is made in house and was fabulous. Highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a great GF pizza.

Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.
Delicious drinks, fantastic food, great service. I especially appreciate that they can make a majority of the menu gluten-free for those of us that are celiacs. They have a fantastic menu of mocktails as well. Definitely plan on going back

Brought a group of friends from out of town (6 of us total). Service wasnt terrible but our server was very absent and had to be flagged down and she seemed not to care or want to be there. 2 people asked for no ice in their water and she said "I'll just do no ice for all 6" when that's not what we wanted. She brought the waters then took 4 peoples cocktail orders and then walked away. We watched our drinks sit at the bar for so long when she was nowhere to be found. Someone else had to bring the other 2 people their cocktails when she finally let them order, someone else also brought our second round of drinks to us instead of her. Please keep in mind it was not busy at all when we went- less than 8 tables of people in the whole place. Our other friends (group of 7) at another table arrived after us, got their food before we were even able to order ours. Our server incorrectly told us there was gluten in the items we wanted to order off of the gluten free menu.
I was so excited to share this place with friends and we left very disappointed in the service we received. Our other group of friends received excellent service.
Additionally, we had a question as we were leaving about the parking at the designated garage for this area and the hostess said shes new and didn't know but also wouldn't ask anyone standing around up front. There appears to be several people working here that just can't be bothered to do anything more than the absolute bare minimum, even on a slow day.
In all of our previous visits service has been a bit lack luster but not this bad and the food has been good but not great enough to justify the poor service
Honestly, our waitress was not great. We didn't make it easy for her, with a large group, but she tried to charge us for several drinks more than once, forgot to bring out a gluten-free pizza and forgot one meal completely. We were joking about it when she took the order - it would have been easier had she taken notes of our order!
Edit: I've never been there before. I'm from out of town. I didn't know where to stand or where to order. The two ladies working around 11: oo (?) Sat were so friendly and helpful to me. They acted like I was a local and that I wasn't confused at all, lol. The half Pizza they suggested was perfect. Also, they asked me if my gluten order was because of an allergy or preference. No one's ever asked me that before. I am impressed.
GLUTEN FREE REVIEW:
Absolutely amazing experience with endless Gluten Free options available - both appetizers came with gluten free bread. All pizzas can be made on gluten free crust and pastas can be made with gluten free noodles! Bonus that there is no up charge for gluten free.
The flavors of everything were amazing and the atmosphere was great! Our favorites were the mussels and whipped ricotta. Heads up that the chopped salad was spicy!! We didn’t get to try a gluten free pasta but will be back to do so!
Had a delicious burger and slaw for lunch. They offer gluten free buns. They do not have a dedicated fryer, so no fried foods are safe. Gluten free sushi is marked on the menu or you can crate your own.
Staple restaurant in the SouthPark area. Always appreciate the kindness of the team throughout the dining experience. They are knowledgeable about the menu and helpful when advising about the gluten-free options. There are plenty of options — but it is best to ask for guidance/confirmation. We tried the watermelon and tomato salad this visit and it was GREAT! We also enjoyed the meat and cheese tray!

Legion Brewing South Park location has a whole gluten free menu. The southwest salad and bbq sandwich are my favorites for lunch + dinner. They make an amazing monte cristo & always have a lot of local ingredients. We bring all guests who come in town here because of the variety of options and knowledgeable staff.
I have Celiac disease and Cancer today was a very busy day for me I had a taste for Singapore Mei Fun. The Manager came to me and noticed that I said no heat, no curry no sauce. She suggested to try one of the three sauces she put in my bag. The I used th sauce they use in Lo Mein. It was very tasty, packed with chicken etc the chicken egg roll was cooked to perfection. I am giving a 10 on a scale of five. Job well done I absolutely suggest this restaurant to anyone visiting this weekend. I got the order to go but I am enjoying it as I post this review. Should have taken a photo but it was so good I forgot to lol
What a cool spot!
The sandwich was perfectly made, loved the flavor and crunch combination and I couldn't tell it was gluten free, best bun I've had in a while!
The place is a bit loud but the design is amazing and so unique 😍
this place is AMAZING!! their gluten free options are extensive, and the gluten free bun is so soft and delicious. the parmesan truffle fries are to die for, and the milkshakes are out of this world. best burger i’ve had in a very long time. salads are huge and so yummy. service was great, aaliyah did amazing! 10/10 recommend!
I have been oyster bar hopping this year and this is becoming my go to spot. I tend to try all the local (NC/VA) oysters and then get more of my favorites. But Mike, the manager recommended Rocky Rhodes after hearing my favorite oysters are meaty and briny and if that sounds like your oysters please try them. They are a new favorite.
The non-celiac member of the party wanted me to shout out the shrimp po' boy as well.
The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive despite the busy Saturday atmosphere.
I can't wait to go to the oyster happy hour next!
Final note: I am very sensitive to sound and crowded restaurants are a big offender for this. I've only ever sat at the bar here, it's been close, but I've not had to use my earbuds yet. Mileage may vary, but its acoustics definitely make it quieter than a lot of other places I've been downtown on a Saturday.
Girls weekend fun and everyone working was very accommodating for our rambunctious group!
Happy to come back, no matter the size of party
Everything I ate was wonderful, pretty sure everyone in the party was happy with their food as well
Berry Sangria was yummy
Zucchini Fritte was perfect especially the dipping sauce - even picky eaters tried this for the first time and liked it =)
I tried the spinach artichoke dip, amazing! Tried it on my Zucchini Fritte ...wow, definitely suggest trying those two together
Tried the calamari with marinara, don't forget to squeeze the lemon juice on the calamari....brings up the flavor a notch =)
My entree was the Chicken Picatta with Gluten-free Penne pasta in place of the spaghetti it comes with. So much flavor, chicken was tender and could cut with my fork, pasta was cooked perfect- especially for Gluten-free pasta 👍🏼👏🏼
I tried a bite off my friend's Chicken Parmigiano- amazing!
They also graciously give a military discount, which I always appreciate.
We were also there after closing time and they weren't trying to push us out the door =)

Amazing service. Get to that in a moment.
Had dinner with 14 colleagues. We ordered several apps and soups. All delicious. Our dishes arranged from vegetarian to gluten-free to pad Thai to shrimp, chicken and beef. I originally ordered the firecracker shrimp. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The dish came out lukewarm, shrimp a bit tough and it lacked flavor. Our server, Upon sharing with our server, Trinity, she immediately removed the dish. I replaced it with spicy chicken. It was hot and packed with flavor.
Trinity offered exceptional service, taking care of our group. We never had to ask for refills. She was engaging and we enjoyed her wonderful personality. Well done, Trinity!
I called ahead and ordered a gluten free pizza because I have Celiac. When I received the pizza and after I ate a couple of bites I realized it wasn’t gluten free. I went back inside and asked to speak to a manager and explained to him the issue. He was very dismissive of the whole situation and just took the pizza and said he would bring a new one out. No apology or refund. I have been to this location and have had an issue before, but most of the time it’s good service and food just terrible management.
Looking for a specialty burger and pub restaurant with indoor outdoor seating and great service in an exclusive area in Ballantyne? Boom. Recommend the signature items but you can build your own too! From pancake covered bacon to gluten free or meat optional items, get the Angus beef or Buffalo burgers for outstanding deliciousness. The banana pudding is Devine, the fried pickles are full slices with perfect breading and the sliders are yummilicious. Expect great service and to wait for a table since its always busy.

#CeliacReviews: What a blessing when celiacs can eat like pigs, just like non-celiacs. I called ahead and the patient, friendly staff connected me to the sous chef, who explained the options with lowest risk of gluten cross-contamination (flat-top is used for gluten-containing items too). I had the mixed brisket 😋 with one of their GF sauces.
📌 Not a gluten-free facility, but there is a “gluten-friendly” menu (their transparency is honestly refreshing).
✅ Staff are knowledgeable and accommodating.
⭐️ Amazing service- they want you to have a great time. The cocktails are awesome too.
This place is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is beautifully decorated and cozy, the food is fantastic and our server Allison was an absolute star! She was so personable and knowledgeable of the menu and gave fantastic recommendations. My friend who is gluten free even said that the gluten free options were extensive and delicious! Definitely will come eat here again, can’t recommend enough.

Food is always great, awesome gluten free options. But man, do not come here if you’re on any sort of schedule. Been trying to leave for the last 30 minutes…. No dice.
I’m ecstatic to have found this place! I have celiac disease and it is incredibly hard to find anywhere to eat out when I don’t bring a lunch to work. The menu here has an impressively large variety of gluten free items to choose from as well as gluten free beers & ciders.
Eating gluten free meals means food that is usually mediocre at best. Not here. I got the meatloaf, broccoli casserole and a loaded baked potato; it was all wildly delicious. Meatloaf was savory, juicy, perfectly crispy on the edges and by far the best meatloaf I’ve ever eaten. The broccoli casserole tasted like it came straight out of my grandmothers kitchen and topped with lovely little gluten free crispy onions. Even the baked potato was on point with its perfectly thick, crispy bacon.
Staff was very friendly with quick service and were more than happy to make accommodations to food requests.
I can’t wait to come back!
We decided to try Fuel when our usual pizza spot was closed. I have celiacs and they were extremely knowledgeable and warned me about the risk of contamination being high due to both ovens being in use and wanted to make sure I was aware and okay with the risk or if I wanted to change my order. The food was absolutely amazing. The gluten free crust had the perfect crisp, my boyfriends calzone was one of the best he’s had and my kids ate all 6 garlic knots and an entire pizza.
We will definitely be coming back here again.
The service here was the absolute worst. We ordered chips and queso and it went to the wrong table and when we asked they said it was coming. We literally never got them in spite of asking another time. Then we got a taco with a flour tortilla in spite of telling them it was needed to be gluten free and specifying only corn tortillas. It was sent back and then 10 min later it came back with 2 flour tortillas. My poor daughter had no meal since they couldn’t get it right. I never got my tea drink as well. We’ve never had such slow and poor service. We asked for the manager and she never came over to see us. The waiter apologized and said the food items were taken off the bill to which we said that’s good since they either never came to the table or were inedible. Will never go here again!!!
A much heralded Charlotte restaurant, not sure why it took me so long to visit — truthfully, I think I was jaded as diners would typically share “must try” dishes that seemed to be delicious but not gluten-free friendly.
Well, this meal was a reminder that I should reach out to a restaurant instead of only reviewing a menu. We were impressed by the team’s awareness of the dishes — and what was (or was not) gluten-free safe. It was quite easy to order an entire meal without much change. Dessert was the least interesting for me — an adaptation to the banana pudding was offered, but dinner was so satisfying that this was not a needed cap to the night.
We started with the chips and onion dip — though the chips were very over salted —this is a must try dish for sure! We also ordered the summer salad which was a collection of endive, apples, radishes — this was fine, but nothing worth a review/recommendation. The table also ordered the bread with beet butter — not gluten-free, but the table said it was delicious. For dinner we shared many plates: roasted chicken, wagyu pot roast, mushrooms risotto, roasted broccoli, and roasted carrots. Everything was delicious—a great combination of robust flavors and fresh ingredients.
It is worth the note that this is not a reasonably priced meal — taking out the bottle of wine, this meal was easily $50-$75 a person across the split plates — but the dishes were decent sizes, the composition was memorable, and overall this is a meal that felt worth the price.
If yall have not tried their Sicilian or the new personal pan pizzas, THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! God, they're amazing. Easily best pizza I've had in a while. I hope it's here to stay cause that's my new go to now! It's crunchy, yet soft. It's thicccc but it's airy. Naaaaah, they got this perfected.
I highly recommend the Sweet Heat, it's got all the best things. Meat, pineapple, HOT HONEY! I also suggest adding bacon, but that's just me being fat. I crushed the whole pie and I can't wait to try it again with some different toppings!
I've tried their parm sandwiches in the past and they are delish! A friend got some gluten free pasta and he also loved that as well.
But seriously though, pls make those personal pan pizzas permanent! I need those in my life!
Our servers were great about checking for food allergies, and they even had a gluten-free menu for people who need to avoid gluten. They had a decent selection of items, but not a large menu. The food came out in good time. It was well prepared and had good flavor. The servers kept the drinks filled and were attentive to our party of about 20.
This was not my first time eating here. And I can honestly say that the experience is consistent every... single...time. We arrived early on a Friday evening and were promptly seated. In fact, it took way longer for us to find parking than it did to get a table. Our waitress was patient and attentive throughout our visit. She was also knowledgeable about the menu as well as dietary restrictions (gluten-free). We took her suggestion about mixing and matching to try different tacos.
Our food came out very quickly. All of our orders were prepared exactly as requested. The portions are generous and the food was flavorful. Just a few warnings: the complimentary salsa is a bit on the spicy side. The Honey Wasabi Sauce on the Tavarua tacos was a little heavy but I survived.
If I had to take off for anything, it would be the ambiance. It's pretty dark which made it difficult to take good photos. And it was also very loud.
Pro-tip: Sign up for their rewards program to earn points for visits. There is also a restaurant app.
Great with gluten free options!! They actually have an allergy cheat sheet that shows you what’s gluten free and what can be modified. The chips are GF!!! The queso and the brisket street tacos are amazing!!!
We only had 2 slices of cheese, but it was divine! The gluten-free with strawberries had half the calories and was so good!
My husband had the upside down pineapple 🍍 and it was as tall as the to go container. Calories twice as much as the gluten-free.
Highest quality ice cream with great service! There are many rich, vibrant flavors to taste and snack on! They offer free tastings of their mainstay flavors and their awesome rotating seasonal flavors. The dairy-free and gluten-free flavors are great, too! Great service and great location.
After a wonderful lunch at Ilios Noche, I must rave about the delicious and varied menu. We had the most courteous and professional server, Trip. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had a better meal, great atmosphere and awesome service. Please do yourself a favor and have a meal at Ilios, especially if you are gluten-free. They have a fantastic choice of Mediterranean fare. This has made our Sunday afternoon a very pleasant experience.
Yummy Cuban fusion brunch. The best natural juices. Lots of vegetarian options and gluten-free variations. Ask for Kelly as your server, she's friendly and on-point.
I’ve been here before for drinks, but hadn’t really eaten much besides picking up someone’s french fries or something. So I was delighted when my colleagues decided to host an intimate business dinner here.
We sat out back in the open space underneath the magnificent tree. I absolutely love the decor, both inside and outside and I love the use of the spaces. It just feels very open and airy. It’s such a great place for gatherings and celebrations of any kind. I could also see it being quite romantic for a date night underneath the twinkly lights.
Everyone in my group has a typical diet. I was the only one with dietary restrictions. I am plant-based (vegan) and gluten light.
I’m grateful that they were thoughtful to put a couple of very user-friendly items on their menu, as well as a full on vegan mac & cheese.
Our group ordered a good number of small plates to share that we really didn’t end up eating any entrées. We had two different shaken fry bags, the Togashi and the garlic herb Parmesan. Both were delicious. We also enjoyed the golden beets so much that we got two of those as well as two marinated shrimp cause they wanted to drink the butter. We also got a couple of variations of the good salad, one with shrimp and one without shrimp or cheese. A couple orders of wings. We had no complaints about anything!!
The food was absolutely delicious and my colleagues who were visiting from out of town were so grateful to have spent their evening at such a delicious and delightful restaurant.
The short rib was “melt in your mouth” incredible and GLUTEN FREE too. As a celiac, I was able to eat like a queen and enjoy fabulous wine. Service was attentive - praises for Hailey our waitress who loved on us and offered great advice. We can’t wait to come back and try the scallops next. Thank you!!
