This is a family owned and operated eatery. SHANNON is very proud to be working here and supporting this endeavor. She's is not part of the family that owns this. Based on Countryside Mall, they offer breakfast and all entrees all day long. Gluten free dedicated grill and waffle iron! I opted to try Bacon Super Slaw at the place with Bacon in the name. Great hot tea that I chose over an array of cocktails and 4 beers on tap. Yes I passed on the signature Bacon Mary at 830am Bacon Slaw Salad is crunchy with just enough bacon and sprinkled not swimming in a light sauce. Gluten free options are noted on menu Several TVs line the bar and corners of the main with bar height stools and accessible tables.

Had such a great experience here! I am gluten free and ordered a pizza for pick up - the team was so nice and honest and let us know it would be longer than expected because my pizza was in contact with gluten so they were completely remaking it. I love the honesty and safety they provided and the pizza was great as always. I highly recommend for any allergy needs to come here, they’ll keep you safe!

Very nice breakfast place! Not as fast food like others. Very good food! No run-of-the-mill menu. Gluten-free pancakes on offer and made with a lot of love. The skinny omelette was also absolutely delicious. Very friendly service.

Jane Dean

Really good lattes!! Lots of choices for flavors and cold foams! Gluten free options and delicious snacks! We will be back!

**** gluten-free review-celiac ***** I ordered delivery so I don't know the atmosphere but when I called the guy who answered the phone was awesome "both times". Gluten-free pizza was great. Most gluten-free pizza is the plain old frozen pizza. This wasn't only gluten-free but they could make their specialty pizza on the GF crust. Their wings are also gluten-free. Everything was amazing. Highly recommend. Thanks for being awesome Kings Pizza. You all should look into a gluten-free crab cake pizza because no place on the beach knows how to make a crab cake without breadcrumb filler. 🤭

Heidi Vieira

Had the gluten-free Chicken Mandalay. I really liked it. The service was great and the atmosphere was worthy of calling it a romantic date. Go ahead and go!

Antonio Souchet

Wonderful atmosphere for families and even business launches with lots of gluten free options

Daniel Smithurst

Lucy M

Great gluten free bread and omelette. Super nice/friendly owner.

I would give more than five stars if I could! So glad my friend recommended Joseph's tea room. Not only did they have vegan and gluten-free options, but the ambiance transports you into another world. Every little detail has been tended to at this small business, local establishment ran by a family. They also host special events (think: Bridgerton parties) so feel free to reach out whether you need an afternoon tea party getaway, or are looking for something more formal with a group. (The salad was so delicious it was gone before I remembered to take a photo... Oops!) Stop by, you won't regret it!

We enjoyed a delicious meal that was safe for my two very sensitive celiac kids. The wait staff is well versed in what is safe and not! I 100% recommend eating here!

Shannon Kratz

Absolutely love this place. It never disappoints. The food is spectacular. They were very accommodating of my food allergies, they even have a gluten free menu. Can't wait to go back.

If I could give 0 stars for the behavior of the owner of this establishment, I would. Please see the attached conversation below if you feel like a good read. I have recently wrote a Yelp review stating my experience. I stated that the food was good, service was good and the atmosphere was good. I specifically noted that I don't mind paying and typically type at least 25%, so the price WAS NOT an issue when leaving this review. I simply stated that my biggest concern was in our party of 6 we had a person who requires gluten free options. Because of this requirement we do check the menu prior to going out. They advertised gluten free options but after ordering drinks she placed her order and they really aren't gluten free and there is a potential for cross contamination. (We have been to several places that can provide her with comfort that they will not cross contaminate.) I also stated that it does feel like they nickel and dime you. When leaving a review I try to tell people what I would have liked to know BEFORE dining there so they know what to expect. This "high class restaurant" charges a 4% credit card charge, provides 12 oz cans with no free refills and does not allow you to upcharge for a different side if you don't prefer chips or fries, you have to pay for the side a la cart. These are simply things I would have liked to know upfront. Aside from the concern for cross contamination, we most likely would have still eaten there and I would have still provided a 5-star review. As a passerby was walking, they inquired if they should eat there and I told them the food was good and they should give it a try. I said that I would still recommend it, but I wouldn't strongly recommend it. The owner responded to me insulting my intelligence, called me cheap (Thinking I wanted a "discounted" side (not what I was saying)), a Karen, telling me that my negative opinion doesn't matter and that my parents didn't teach me well because if I don't have anything nice to say I shouldn't speak. After this interaction I did some research and reviews from previous employees say a lot about this person which I experienced first hand. The reviews on indeed state that he watches cameras from home 24/7 and calls managers to nitpick the staff and the environment is toxic and a previous employee states that the food is overpriced for tourists. I have placed the exchange in the photos.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to our waiter tonight. First time going out and having to be gluten free. Thank you for your assistance and gluten-free menu. The food was amazing and your patience and help was amazing.

Cherry C

Delicious food! Husband and I got tostadas as well as chips and queso. They had gluten free and vegetarian options for me. Husband enjoyed the spicy chicken option for his tostada and I loved the portobello ranchero!

Robert D

Carrabba's is a favorite for my Husband and I. Menu has wonderful staples and a rotating seasonal menu that I always have to try. Gluten Free Pasta is available and since I have to eat GF due to allergy this is wonderful. Great food and cocktails here.

Lord Colin Oneal

Ashlyn and Maddy were AMAZING!!! Our food came out fast and hot, the fries were steaming! If you ask for Gluten Free fries, they’ll get them for you and they have gluten free buns, the best I’ve ever had out!

Pat D

The best Italian we've ever been to! Absolute recommendation! There are even gluten-free options (pasta and pizza). The gelato is an absolute MUST! Rarely have I had such good ice cream. The service is simply TOP! Super nice, hard-working and funny (especially the “head of the service staff” is an absolute entertainer. 11/10! Must GO!!!

Just Jules

Every time I come the service is good and I like that they have gluten free bread available. The last time I came I was with my mother who ordered the blue crab and shrimp burger 10/10 shes says, lots of flavor and a perfect serving size for lunch. I ordered the Grillsmith burger, cooked how I like it served with the gluten free bread. We both made substitutions to our orders and the kitchen had no problem accommodating our picky needs! We will be back! 😋

Gluten free baked goods and breakfast tacos on corn tortillas!

leo coward

was a rough start with not being greeted by a server for quite some time, but once a server, Jacquelin, noticed, she made sure everything was perfect for us. Even ended dinner with some AMAZING dessert. 10/10 food, 10/10 waitress. phenomenal gluten free options.

Jovie is the freaking bomb! Great attitude, great server. The food was great. Gluten-free options are fair, and the salsa was off the chain. Will be coming back again had great drinks as well.

clydeknightwind

This should be an easy fix that never had should have been an issue. If you are offering gluten free buns, you MUST toast the insides well. They fall apart otherwise and just are unpleasant

Paul Gasner

Upscale vibe and great food! They even have Gluten free bread!!! Love this place for a nice dinner out, anniversary or fun group get together.

Thomas Greaves

The fruit crepes were amazing. Little disappointed it didn't come with cream cheese, but the waitress was kind and added cream cheese. My wife had their gluten-free strawberry cream cheese pancakes and absolutely loved them. Absolutely recommend coming here.

Kathryn Janicek

I’ve been coming here for 15 years. Service is always extraordinary. Do not be overwhelmed if you have food allergies. They now have a food allergy menu and there are a ton of gluten and dairy free options. Eat here! (I prefer the outdoor seating on the harbor.)

Toni Thompson

This cute window service eatery reminds me of an indoor food truck with its one service window. They offer snackstizers, which have my name all over them, so I got chicken nugs with upgrade to sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were a tad salty but very crispy just like I like them. They offer vegetarian substitutes and gluten friendly options. My food was cooked to order at Cleveland Street Market and I was pleased with the time it took for fresh prep food. Great service. Indoor accessible tables and outdoor uncovered accessible tables are uncovered. Tots playground outdoors Accessible restrooms on second floor accessed by going outside and up ramp or by 5 steps from first floor to second floor

I always like visiting Jason's Deli locations when I am near. I ordered a turkey sandwich with mozzarella on GF bread. Due to Celiac disease, the GF bread is a must and not an option. When they brought out my sandwich, I saw that it had been toasted. As someone very sensitive to cross-contamination, I did send it back and ask for it not to be toasted for dietary purposes. It was quickly remade and was delicious.

Anna Higgins

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy make sure to be extremely cautious when eating here. I ordered the gluten free tacos with corn tortillas and I was given flour. After noticing they didn’t look like corn I asked the waitress and she assured me they were…. upon taking a bite I knew they were definitely flour so I called her back over and said they are definitely flour. They did quickly make me new ones however there was no apology or free drink or anything. I’m extremely disappointed as I was sick and throwing up due to my allergy.

Pizza very tasty! Gluten-free pizza on offer. We ordered a 14” pizza per person. Was way too much. We only managed half. Very expensive at $27 per pizza!

Being on a gluten-free/ celiac diet is not always easy. However, this local restaurant has so many gluten free options, it is amazing! I absolutely love their vegetarian dish- made up of gluten free sides. It is absolutely delicious and fresh! I was most surprised by the fried cheese and plantains. The plantains were sweet, soft, and had a crunchy outer layer! Amazing! The cheese was so flavorful and savory.

Brian Dowd

Awesome pizza! Loved the trio veg pizza. Also loved the gluten-free pizza which my wife enjoyed.

I had an appointment at Morton Plant hospital in the morning, I googled breakfast place near me, found Wildflower cafe so I came for the first time it was small cute place. I was seated quickly, but it was busy and a little loud, I was greeted a min after by a very lovely waitress who was absolutely awesome! I received my oj, tasted fresh no pulp, I was happy, I ordered the gluten free deep dish vegetable quiche came with side of fruit, it was delicious! However I did think for the price I had paid for the portion seemed a little to be desired?! I thought for $15 dollars I would have expected two pieces or one large piece of quiche ?! After I left I was hungry an hour later. I would have preferred a bigger portion instead of insulting me thinking 🤔 (go on a diet, stupid). Food was really good, tasted fresh, but for the quantity, wasn’t worth the price tag.

Lisa McGinnis

So deceiving! This gluten friendly viby spot looks like a dive bar from the outside but it’s so not! The service was AMAZING and they accommodated our gluten sensitivity and made us the most amazing cinnamon waffles. Upscale drinks and DELICIOUS brunch. Don’t sleep on this restaurant/bar;)

If you have a gluten allergy, DO NOT eat here. Even if you order gluten free bread, they will give you regular bread. I made a takeout order that explicitly stated gluten free toast, but was given regular toast. I called about 2 bites into it and they confirmed that the bread I was given wasn't gluten free. Then they tried to tell me it was my fault because I didn't mark off having a gluten allergy. It's reasonable to expect that I would be given gluten free bread when I ordered gluten free bread. Their website has allergen information published. I was told I would be refunded and a manager would contact me. Neither happened, so I'll just dispute the charge with my credit card company. I did get sick from their negligence. I would NEVER eat here again.

I am in Florida for the first time on a business trip. While here I was able to go out in the evening and visit Clearwater Beach and Pier 60. My coworker and I were looking for a place for dinner, and walking down the street we saw the Spotted Donkey. I am so glad we chose this place! Very fresh great quality food and the flavors were amazing. Even their table salsa had a creamy texture from blended peppers, and was rich and delicious. I got mahi fish tacos on white corn tortillas, it came with rice, black beans, guacamole, fresh tomatoes, and sour cream on the side. The black beans were absolutely divine, best I've ever eaten. The fish tacos were delicious; The mahi was very fresh, and cooked perfectly, nice and tender with a nice char. My coworker got a vegetarian burrito, it was absolutely huge, and he was unable to finish it.. The service was outstanding. A big shout out to our server Juvi who delivered such genuinely warm, friendly service and checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you On a sidenote, they do have a completely separate gluten-free menu, which I very much appreciated.
