Gluten free menu was very clear and outlined the items with a risk of cross contamination very clearly! I felt confident eating here and the burger was so good!
Amazing food, neat decor, great staff, & is a very clean establishment. This is a must stop for people with Celiac &/or require a gluten free diet. GF options were plentiful and clearly labeled on the main menu in green. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable about Celiac & said many come in regularly. They modified their 'Shame Bowl' to be GF subbing the gravy for cheese. (Basically a better version of the KFC bowl.)
I absolutely loved that all the decor was of local people, people that worked there, etc. It has a cozy, southern feel with so much to look at!
Eaten here before and it was great, however this time I got food from them-the picture shows- how much the quantity of an almost $10 salad was. In can't have gluten and said that but they didn't adhere to that...and my medium rare steak was super well done.
My all time favorite Indian food restaurant. Love their lunch buffet! Love their garlic naan, chai tea and mango lassi. Very easy to eat gluten free there, if needed. Every item we've tried on the menu is flavorful and rich and comforting. It's 45 minutes away from where we live but if we're going out for Indian food we always head to Seva!
Such a great experience every time! There is a large selection of gluten free and even celiac friendly items! 10/10 every single time!!! Our server Bilei was so considerate and helpful!
The food here was excellent! All members of our party enjoyed ourselves. The food was fresh, hot, and packed full of flavor! I really enjoyed their commitment to serving those with gluten allergies.
The ciders were delicious and the fact that they showed the sugar content in each made it easy to pick what you desired most.
The atmosphere was beautiful. Since it was a nice day in June, the bat door was open and there was a nice breeze. The only complaint were the drivers revving their engines loudly while driving by
Service was also exceptional. Our server was attentive and regularly checked to ensure we had what we wanted or needed.
I absolutely recommend Brick River Cider!
The people were so kind and the food was really great. One in our party is celiac and they understood and took very special care of us. Even if you didn't have special needs, the food was great, affordable, and the people are so so kind.
Partner and I have been coming here for ages, and we don’t even live in KC. It is always a must for us. Great service, great atmosphere, great gluten free options, and excellent food. Often a bit of a wait, but never long. I do miss the calmer vibe of the older days before counter ordering, but I can’t argue with the speed. These folks have it figured out.
We decided to try Blue Bird Bistro on my birthday. We went on a Monday evening and made reservations, however, this particular night no reservations were needed and we were seated right away. We got there at 7:30 and stayed until close, it was so relaxing and we didn't feel rushed. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. The food was a little more bland than I expected but it was still good and hot and fresh. There were plenty of gluten free and dairy free options for me.
The cocktails were great!
Recommend the catfish bites appetizer.
All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely visit again.

We arrived pretty late with 4 kids and were greeted by just the nicest host and then waitress! For being almost 10pm she was so kind and didn't make us feel rushed. My youngest has an egg allergy and she went to make sure the pizza dough was safe for her. No eggs in the regular crust and the gluten free is vegan. My youngest is kind of picky and really doesn't like pizza much. She ate 2 slices and asked when we could come back! The kids split a bacon and pineapple on hand tossed and adults split a 1/2 Philly cheese steak and 1/2 not yo chicken. Philly cheese steak was amazing! Not yo chicken was pretty spicy, but still really good! Definitely will be returning!!
Our server/bartender Greg was great! He expertly advised us on food and drinks. He even caught that we were brought the wrong pizza before we had a chance to eat it. Super friendly even when balancing multiple tables. And of course the food is always delicious. Love the gluten free options.
I am celiac and it was a wonderful experience! Our server Valerie was so knowledgeable and sweet! They have so many gluten free and vegan options! I was very impressed! The food was absolutely amazing!! I got the chicken skewers and the fries. I can't wait to try all of the other gluten free options! I found my new favorite restaurant!
This was my first visit to this cafe, and it won't be my last! Stopped by for brunch with my gluten-intolerant friend after a hike and Urban Cafe had so many great options that looked delicious for both of us! We got the Midwest omelette and the truffled mushroom omelette. They arrived relatively quickly and was delicious. On top of that, they did the interior of the place very well; the ambiance was comfortable and the music was great. Great small, local business. Will be visiting again!
Started coming here because it is a spitting image of another pizza company where I went to college. Who doesn't love an unlimited topping pizza for a decent price? Employees have always done a great job, they're always very friendly here. One time I came in a few min early for an online order, and they were pulling mine out but it had a big hole! They remade it ASAP, and were super apologetic about the wait. They were slammed that night too. The only downside is they don't have options for those with gluten intolerance (salad will be cross contaminated).
Cute place. Friendly staff. Good service. The food was good. But not great. Nothing was "wow that's good, I will be back". It was $30 with tax and tip. I had an omelet with sweet potato hash browns, 2 sausage links, and gluten free toast. Hot cocoa to drink. For a $30 breakfast, I want to be wowed.

Inspiration For The Modern Age
This is our absolute favorite donut shop. We had a lot of fun trying to choose our favorites amongst the wide selection of pastries. (They even have gluten-free options)
The staff here at this Branson location were wonderful, light-hearted, and entertaining.
We look forward to our next visit to Branson's Hurts Donut Company!
My family decided to give this place a chance even though we are vegan and gluten free. The wait was 2+ hours to be seated. When we were seated our table wasn't clean, it was caked with sauces and stuff. I cleaned our table and chairs and the cloth was nasty. We were hungry so we stayed, but we didn't get our food for another 1.5 hours. Luckily there was a bean bag toss to keep the kids (and let's be honest adults) busy. They ran out of crayons and coloring paper.
When the food finally came out, they had cross contaminated the vegan gluten free pizza with the non vegan pizza and my daughter and I got really sick.
Needless to say, if you have food allergies, don't go there. We learned our lesson the hard way.
This place is amazing!! Fresh tacos, salad, soup. The service is great and it’s a chill environment! Great for gluten free options. Whole menu is GF except flour tortillas! Get the cake!!!
LOVED this place!
Celiac here… not only was the server polite and attentive, but VERY knowledgeable about the “safe” options for me. And they have TONS of safe options for gluten allergies including a dedicated fryer.
Food was exceptional!! I had the pot roast and could eat it every time I’m here now. Went back the next night and got a burger on GF bun and was great! Other fam members LOVED the he nachos and chicken BLT.
Will absolutely make this a normal stop when we are in town
Lakeside restaurant is great. They are easy to get to by the water and the food is top notch. I always appreciate their positive attitudes and service. Great place to get an ice cream also. They even have gluten and dairy free options.
Our waitress messed up my order several times. I ordered the crab avocado toast on gluten free bread. The first order arrived without the crab. The second order arrived with crab, but on regular bread. The third attempt was the exact same plate as the second. The fourth attempt was on gf bread, but with scrambled eggs, not the easy over eggs that I had ordered. I took the last one as everybody else in our family was done eating. Our waitress made no attempt to make this right. To top it off, they rang up the wrong ticket and charged our son for a much larger ticket. Our son had to wait in line for 30 minutes to get it fixed. I was very disappointed with First Watch for Mother's Day brunch.
Good atmosphere, service all around was good, Food was terrific. Gluten free options for us. (They have a dedicated fryer.)
We got the fried Jalapeno Bologna and I ordered the Oklahoma double with added brisket on top. All great!
Make sure to check out the super cool water feature.
Stopped in to Heritage for some sushi this evening and wanted to say it was delicious 🍱 We sat at the bar which is so beautiful! The decor is amazing. I ordered the California roll and the sushi chef assured me it is gluten free. Our bartender John was so professional and helpful. I highly recommend Heritage for those of you looking for Chinese cuisine!
Nowhere on the menu was it listed that they had grilled or gluten free options and the staff didn't ask. When they brought out an extremely over cooked dry deep fried chicken I said I couldn't eat it. The manager offered to only take half off. After making the point that im not going to pay for something I can't eat they said they'd take it off. We left without my husband eating as they staff was short with us after that and rude. Will not be back.
Edit. They did NOT offer an alternative option. At no point did they ever answer my questions of a grilled option whatsoever. Absolute lies to their reply to my comments.

Really neat place. Waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable! My 8 year old who has gluten and dairy allergies was able to enjoy a “normal” sandwich and Root beer float! He was on cloud 9!!
Phenomenal! Great food, great drinks, lovely indoor and outdoor seating - all in a cute little country store. Can’t wait to come back!
They were also very knowledgeable about my gluten-free restrictions, which I very much appreciated!
Good choices BUT I have been glutened more than once here, the gf noodles are often undercooked, they are just barilla penne, and I found a spaghetti noodle in them once. Eat at your own risk!
I’ve lived in the Grove for about two years, and I’m walking distance from Songbird. This means, most days I’m up at 7 am walking my dog past this place to smell all the smells. Great smells, and all for free. I like to think my dog thinks the same, bc he will usually stop and take extra sniffs by this place. Fantastic place to smell, first and foremost.
Okay, you want to know about the food. Yeah, I’ve gotten take-out from here, PLENTY a times. And it’s always going to be the same effing thing. THE COMBO SANDWICH! Please! Cmon! Insane to the fricken membrane! Never gets old! Perfect sandwich, and please know I come from the land of breakfast sandwiches (new jersey) and this place knows how to do a breakfast fricken sandwich. Freshly toasted sourdough, thick bacon, incredible cheese, and that EGG! 😫 With salt and honey on top, please. 🙏 Any time I get this to-go, it’s always warm, egg perfectly cooked, and so easy to order through their user-friendly website. Shoutout whoever does their web-design BTW - love it.
Okay, now you want to know the dine-in vibes. Such a cozy, lovely, well designed interior. It feels like you’re eating at your down-to-earth rich friend’s house who definitely is a NPR contributing member. So like, good vibes. Love the hand-painted designs all over, and the color scheme is not overwhelming, it aids in your eating experience. One bathroom - small, and does the job well. Great bathroom. Every detail of this place is so well thought out, to the cookbooks on the bar, to the little figurines on the sill of the mirror. Also, always love a purse hook! Which there are a plenty of!
The wait staff here - they are professionals. Like true, real deal professionals. My dad still references this phrase someone used - “How was your first chew?” I mean, how does one even think of such an original sentence? Thank you for inspiring thought and critical thinking.
I’ve sat at the bar and at a table. Both spots had excellent back support, and how enjoyable to place my feet wherever I so choose when we sit. Perhaps I swing them! Love the choice. And the open-kitchen concept for the drink making, love it. How fun to watch espressos and kombuchas and teas and delicious alcoholic morning beverages be made!!
Okay, now you want to know about the dine-in food experience. As much as I love that OG sandwich, I was recently diagnosed with a random autoimmune disease that restricts some foods I can eat, including gluten, so I was so happy to see they have a gluten-free option for their combo sandwich! I’m really not supposed to eat a lot of food, but the thing is the quality of ingredients is so incredible, I never have a poor reaction to their meat, dairy, or butter. I love they have partnerships with lots of local businesses, and you can really taste the quality.
Okay, so I know I raved about the combo sandwich, but their menu is so full of variety and they have the best seasonal specials. My dad loves the Kale Frittata, and I’ve also enjoyed their Sprouted Grain English Muffin, and their grits are so yum! Please try everything once, you won’t regret it. Also always get the combo. lol.
Now - the drinks. You might be saying, why is this tiny little Songbird latte $10? Yeah, I wonder that too. I think it’s because of inflation, and also because the quality of house-made syrup, cruelty-free coffee, and delicious milk varieties are just worth it. But hey, don’t want to spend that much? Get one of their insanely delicious teas, matchas, or juices. But don’t sleep on that kombucha. I won’t lie, it’s a bit of a small amount for the price point, but again, you get what you pay for here. My boyfriend tried their Coffee with a Kick as well, and he got a SUBSTANTIAL amount of liquor in that jawn 🤣. Very pleased.
I know it’s a long review, but I must address one final thing. All of you weirdos are always complaining about the wait, and being “pushed out.” Go work in a restaurant once in your life. Please. Learn patience. It’s worth the wait.
Over 3 days in St Louis, I ate at:
* Salt + Smoke (Delmar Blvd)
* Pappy’s Smokehouse
* Sugarfire Smokehouse
S+S had the best brisket of the 3. I liked the deviled eggs. They knew what items were gluten free gf. Ribs were good. Liked the sauce.
My experience at Hatched was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Mia, took our order and immediately understood what it meant when I mentioned I have celiac disease. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made me feel very reassured.
When our food arrived, a gentleman (whose name I didn’t catch) brought it out and mentioned that he is also a gluten-free diner. He explained that they had taken special care with my meal to make it safe, and even adjusted the “Blue Pancakes” by leaving out the lemon to avoid any risk of cross-contamination — while still trying to stay true to the original flavor.
What truly stood out was that after the meal, Mia came back to the table specifically to ask how I was feeling. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed how much they genuinely cared about my dining experience.
Because of their attention to detail, understanding, and kindness, I felt completely comfortable eating — without any fear or hesitation. I can’t recommend Hatched enough, not just for the incredible food, but for their outstanding service and heartfelt care for their guests.
Nice place to get a burger and specialty fries. Freddy's Sauce is really good and a great twist on the shoestring fries they serve. Our Food was served relatively fast and hot. They offer a lettuce wrap for all the sandwiches for those with a gluten allergy. If you like Sunday's, they have a pretty good Turtle Sunday.
If you need to eat Gluten Free (or friendly) their cheeseburger lettuce bowl is AMAZING! zero issues and I have had it four million times. Don't skip the sauce. It's incredible. Get extra.
Beignet All Day is a must visit spot! The beignets are absolutely delicious, with a fantastic variety of toppings to choose from. Whether you’re in the mood for sweet or savory, there’s truly something for everyone. I tried the gluten-free beignets and added ice-cream and was blown away. They were great and every bit as indulgent as the traditional kind. Our whole family loves them & they even sell larger quantities you can bringing to gatherings. Highly recommend!
Great gluten-free options! Thank you Wonderful server “Tarn” that went above and beyond to help us out with our specific food and dietary requests. Started with the bubble bar flight, then had the apple and fig salad, so good. Ended with the lobster and gluten-free Mac, but traded out the lobster for steak and it was delicious.
