I do not have celiacs and am not gluten intolerant. The chicken strips are one of the best chicken I've had in my life, gluten-free or not. They were so moist yet crispy and crunchy; I would come back for just the chicken strips. But the beer too! My partner and I had three different kinds and loved all of them. If you're in the area, gluten-sensitive or not, stop in! It's amazing.
My gluten free dreams came true. I haven’t had fare food in at least eight years. To finally have found a gluten free restaurant that serves corn dogs and funnel cakes that taste 10/10 was just the best thing ever. The corn dog was sweet, crunchy, salty, and flavorful. The funnel cake was sweet, soft on the inside and crunchy and chewy on the outside and exactly how I remembered from my childhood fare days. Super quick service, my food was ready in 8 minutes.
Bamboo Sushi is hands down one of my favorite spots in the city, their great food, service and atmosphere is pretty consistent.
Also as a GLUTEN FREE girly I love feeling so safe and comfortable with the menu!
100 percent gluten free menu, and good drinks. They have taco specials, I picked the seafood option. The tacos were good, very fancy with the ingredients. I wish I had tried the meat tacos as well. The passion fruit margaritas was also good.
I really wanted to love Via Chicago, especially as someone managing both gluten and dairy allergies. I built my own medium pizza with the gluten-free crust and the vegan cheese combo (Daiya and tofu ricotta). Unfortunately, it just didn’t hit the mark for me. The crust was thinner and a bit tougher than expected (definitely not worthy of the Chicago style title), but the biggest issue was the cheese… It was so heavy and overpowering that it completely overshadowed the rest of the pizza. Being from Chicago, I fully understand that Chicago style pizza has a lot of cheese, but when you’re working with alternative cheeses, certain alterations need to be made because they simply DO NOT cook the same as regular cheese options. The texture ended up being more slimy than satisfying, and there was more cheese than crust. There was actually more cheese than anything else, including the toppings that I added (pepperoni, pineapple and supposedly onion, but I didn’t see or taste that on the pizza)
Ultimately, I understand that allergy-friendly options are often more expensive, but when I’m paying $35 for a medium pizza, I at least hope I’ll want to eat the leftovers. Sadly, that wasn’t the case here. While I appreciate the effort to offer gluten-free and vegan options, I don’t think I’ll be returning.
If you’re looking for great gluten-free and vegan pizza in Portland, I’d highly recommend Boxcar instead, they do it Detroit style and they do it right!
Wonderful establishment!! Great service and the food is delicious! The gluten free crust is the best … taste is the same as a gluten crust. Thank you for making it taste “normal”! 😀🍕😀
As someone with celiac I really appreciate a dedicated gluten free kitchen. However, the options here are underwhelming. Got the pulled pork fries, which are just fries, pulled pork, and a sauce. Would be much better if there were more ingredients for a little more flavor, and honestly I would hope for a little more for $15
these people know what they are doing! everything is well marked and dedicated GF fryer. kind and thoughtful staff. we make a special trip to Portland, just to get the fried chicken here.
Absolutely amazing food! The burger was awesome the fries were on point. The chicken tenders were a little over cooked but lots of variety for gluten free options. The Marionberry lemonade is on point! I will definitely be back. Delicious food and great service! They even have an outdoor eating area.
Discovered this place on Tik Tok by a previous guest. Placed this on my must do - to do list to come to when adventuring on my 10 day Oregon roadtrip. Very hard to find places that are “true healthy” restaurants when traveling.
Stopped in solo 5-30-25 post breakfast hours but before lunch. Was greeted by Cash - SO NICE, great personality!!!! suggestions were made but ultimately I decided to have the Vegan “tuna” chickpea salad sandwich. I had already had breakfast but wanted a light lunch before going hiking. (Had kitchen cut in half for me to take remainder on my hike). Loved the bread (almost sure and hoping it was gluten free) that was toasted lightly but not so hard it was like a crouton. The side soup was a vegetable type soup. Wow! Seasonings were on point with the sandwich and the soup.
Bathroom was clean.
ONLY THING that had me sad was no souvenir sticker. I travel all over the US frequently and enjoy collecting stickers. I don’t need cups, shirts when traveling. Please consider getting stickers.
If I ever come back to Portland area. Hands down you will have a repeat customer coming back. Thank you!!
We went with Verde Cocina as the caterers for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the decision.
Literally everyone came up to us to rave above the food. Having the EVO grill there made for a fun addition to the reception and also really made people feel like they were getting the most fresh high quality food. The cocktails were grabbed up almost immediately. Our only regret there was not buying more cocktails.
The first bite of crab cake we got after hours of photo taking and wedding stuff will go down as a top 5 bite of food i've ever had. the sentiments were shared by many.
Verde Cocina being a gluten-free restaurant and being very sensitive/aware of dietary restrictions was such a massive relief for us and for guests.
Arro(in charge of the catering) was so quick with communication, extremely personable, and made the menu selection process a real joy. He's also just a nice guy, by the time we'd actually gotten married he was so excited to say congrats.
Probably more that could be said, but I would just say if you are still looking for a catering option, just contact them. It will be worth exploring.
The food was delicious! We are from out of town, and we'd never been to Boxcar Pizza before. I am gluten free and vegan, so finding good pizza is tough. This was THE BEST vegan, gluten free pizza I've ever had! They also had Cheesy Garlic Bread that had a gluten free option. Simply amazing!
Friendly gluten free restaurant with an excellent selection of food, ciders and cocktails. It’s so reassuring to know they use quality ingredients and really care about their product.
My only suggestions are to have a slightly more affordable can beer selection and to make sure food isn’t too hot as I burned my mouth unbelievably bad while eating a chicken sandwich.
The food: top tier
The employees: delightful
The atmosphere: casual, fun, upbeat, low-key
As a celiac with a strict gluten free diet, this place is heaven. As a person who appreciates quality product/services, even more so.
The gluten-free pizza is one of the best I have ever had! So glad to find this place when my husband and I were in the area for a convention. Thank you!
The only unpleasant thing was bumping into someone when I got up from the table to use the restroom. The area is small and my booty is not.
The food was AMAZING! Especially if you are gluten free. How do they get the cardamom french toast so thick? And the flavors *mwah.* I also tried the gluten free eggs Benny and it was very tasty too. Apparently there are yummy gluten free biscuits out there folks, and this is where they are hiding!
Also the location is cool too because there are 2 vintage stores right next door basically. All the staff was very friendly too =^.^=
Vegan celiac here! I’m lucky Red Robin is my husband’s favorite restaurant, because they always know how to make sure I eat well and safely. Shout out to our server Hana for tonight’s dinner! Our party had a bunch of dietary requirements and she handled it great, went back to the kitchen multiple times to make sure we all got what we needed.
The Beet Rueben, The Walnut Chorizo Quesadilla, The Utopia Dream Salad, The Gilt smoothie, Garden Scramble…Love this place! And I feel safe coming here with my Celiac Disease which is huge.
Not my 1st time BUT stayed till l8 2 play TRIVIA w my friend and her hubby!
My friend LOVED LOVED LOVED the gluten free choices and the Gluten Free Beer!
Very busy, in a slightly crowded space, my friend and I waited about 20 minutes for a table. She had the egg scramble and I had a breakfast sandwich. Sides of potatoes were good and grits excellent. My sandwich was decent, with some nice flavors, should have gotten the bacon. The scramble was huge and full of veggies. Waiter was very nice and helpful dealing with my friend's gluten issues. This wasn't my 1st time here, but 1st in a while.
Any place that sells gluten free pancakes is a good place for me. The ambience and rest of food was very nice too. The seasoned tofu was good, but a little too salty for me.
First time trying Egyptian food. Went with my wife and son, who are both gluten free. We all ordered different meals and enjoyed them a lot. It tasted homemade with quality ingredients. Different spices and flavors were delicious, but not overpowering. If you value good quality food, you won’t regret.
The fact that this place does gluten free fried chicken with a DEDICATED FRYER has me hooked. I love having that knowledge that this space will be somewhere I can safely eat without worry! Delicious chicken cooked in a great sauce. Quick service for a Saturday afternoon as well. Very happy about that! Space inside is pretty small, so I definitely recommend opting to sit outside. The burger was cooked to medium, and was very juicy. Cocktails were also excellent. This place has a great happy hour menu as well if you find yourself searching the more budget friendly option. So many gluten free options to chose from on this menu, I would definitely recommend!
The service was great but the food wasn't as good as I remembered. The fries were somewhat cold, the gluten free bun seemed stale, and the original order was wrong. It's still better than McDonald's but for the price I'd rather go to Shake Shack.
By FAR the best gluten-free pizza I've found in Portland!
I've been on a quest to find good GF pizza since a recent health diagnosis made it a necessity, and not only is their crust leaps and bounds above every other place I've tried, but it also comes in a full 15" pie, available with a garlic cream sauce (I also have a tomato allergy 🥲), and is some of the best pizza I've found here, GF or not. I ordered for the second time tonight to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and adding feta this time, it was even better than the last time.
This place will absolutely be my go-to from here on out!
Absolutely delicious!! Like wow what a damn delight! So fresh and so good, wish I could eat here every day.
Gluten free and dairy free for the sensitive tummies. The food tastes soooo good and at prices the average folk can afford, really a unicorn of a combination.
Cute and welcoming space that has room and enthusiasm for children, amazing chef busting butt in a hot kitchen, menu has apps and meals so you can get a little or a lot.
Opted for the queso and hoooboy it was perfection, just a little heat with flavor that makes you say “I can’t believe it’s vegan!”
Such a great experience, every time. The sushi is always so flavorful and fresh. As someone with an extreme gluten allergy, it’s nice to be able to eat anything without worrying about gluten-poisoning.
One of the most stellar pizzas, one of the best gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had. Gluten conscious restaurant and cool vibe with top quality ingredients
Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments.
It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.
