My favorite brewery! As someone who is gluten free this is a hidden GEM!

Jersey was our waitress and absolutely was amazing. We came with 3 children and she did everything to make sure the whole family was happy. You can’t find great waitresses like her anymore but she goes over and beyond to ensure her customers are well taken care of. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience. Our family is gluten free so going to a breakfast place with gluten free pancakes/ waffles is really a treat for us. Not only are they gluten free but they are so delicious to eat!

Had a really great lunch here with my mom. They cook their gluten free pizza on a separate pan and use separate utensils. You do need to let them know that you have celiac so they can note for the kitchen to take extra safety precautions. They offer vegan cheese for those that are dairy free as well!

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.

I try to eat at Sixty Vines every time I visit Nashville, you can never go wrong! Most recently I got a gluten-free pizza and devoured the entire thing!

Mary Lathem

Delicious gluten free waffle! Alma has been our server twice and she is always so lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

Blanca Hermida

Best burger and gluten free bun!

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

On a road trip with my family 1/3 of us are gluten free due to celiac. We found this place on find me gluten free app and it’s the best pizza I’ve had in a minute. They had extensive gluten free options and everything we tried was delicious! Everyone was so nice and the place was clean too. I wish we lived closer because we’d be regulars!! The only way it could’ve been better is if they had more seating inside, but it was all amazing

James Sanchez

Online ordering and takeout is super easy. Pizza is always delicious and the gluten free crust makes this spot one of our classic go to options.

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!

Anton Kossack

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!

Amber Perino

Delicious food and cocktails. Wonderful staff was knowledgeable and accommodating to our dairy free/gluten free dietary restrictions. Sushi was wonderful!

A Colaco

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!

Dawn Lineman

Such a beautiful place our server took my gluten free order pizza was great it was a snow day at lunch time so quiet Perfect lunch date

Laura Eidem

Great place for work dinner or to catch up with friends. Love the food and friendly service. Many gluten free drink options or alternatives for those who don’t enjoy beer

Gluten/Dairy allergies; server was well informed of the allergies and didn't give me that eye roll that those of us with food restrictions know.

Service was 100% (Kaitlyn C.!) Drinks were on point as well. Hot fresh food. Vegan and gluten free options. Server asked us while we ordered drinks if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Our first time and surely not our last!

Gluten free food was solid! I didn’t get sick at all and it taste delicious

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 =)

Very good food, with Gluten Free Options.

Allison Hart

Amazing gluten free options. Highly sensitive to cross contact and I feel great about eating here. Food is super fresh and delicious. Items are clearly marked on the menu and staff changes gloves and takes care to make sure everything is gf for your order. Portions are generous and price point is reasonable.

I ordered a grass-fed burger with a gluten-free bun, and it was really disappointing. The burger patty was incredibly tough — probably the toughest I’ve ever had — and the bun was rock solid. Everything was super dry and just not enjoyable. For nearly $20, I expected a lot better. The atmosphere was fine, and the service was decent, but I won’t be coming back.

Alex Gomez

Excellent spot for a lunch. Environment is modern with exposed ceiling. Plenty of natural light. Music is not overly loud and holding conversation was very easy. The food and service was exceptional and I will absolutely be back. We had the gluten free basil chicken (level 1 spicy), gluten free drunken noodles (level 1 spicy), and the gluten free moo ping.

So this was my 2nd time visiting. My first time was great, but this 2nd time was..to put it nicely, less great. My partner & I decided to grab lunch here because I knew they had gluten free options which my partner needs. To start our server was frazzed and all over the place which seemed weird since we were 1 of 5 tables there. We expressed my partner’s gluten & dairy allergy & ordered the skewers with the greek yogurt on the side so that I could eat it. However the skewers came out without the yogurt to which I had to ask a different server who brought it out to being me some & for some reason my server charged me extra for it… My soup was barely warm and we just didn’t enjoy our time there, which is unfortunate since I had a good experience the first time. I hope this was just a fluke but I won’t know unless I go again.

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!

Food is good here! A lot of gluten free options. Carrie is always great too!

Loved 800 degrees. The Gluten Free (Cauliflower) pizza was AMAZING.... Ms.Lynda was the nicest server and when we come back we will see if she is working 🙂. *Will definitely visit again

I would not consider this an allergy-friendly restaurant. Quite frankly, if a kitchen and restaurant do not care about the health of their customers, what are they even doing cooking food for other people? I ordered the chicken avocado wrap with a gluten-free tortilla (which I paid extra for) and asked for no cheese. I also ordered a grilled cheese with fries and ketchup. I was a little taken aback when I realized my wrap wasn’t labeled gluten-free, but I tried to keep an open mind. Then I noticed it had cheese in it as well. I called the restaurant to confirm whether it was a gluten-free wrap. The person on the phone just tried to describe it to me, but honestly, there was no way to tell. I was left with food that I couldn’t be sure was safe for me to eat. The grilled cheese we ordered was burned, but I didn’t even bother bringing it up because it was already clear they had no process for handling issues with orders and didn’t consider it important enough to escalate to a manager. I did mention that they forgot the ketchup; however, the woman on the phone decided to blame the Grubhub driver for that. Explain to me how it’s the driver’s job to pick up ketchup, napkins, and silverware. They work for Grubhub—they’re a delivery driver. Why should they be doing the restaurant’s job? Plus, the bag was stapled shut when it arrived. Was he supposed to bring those items in his pockets? Disappointing and not like I remember it when it was the Dilworth location.

This is a great Quick serve Indian restaurant. I have been several times and I have turned on several others also who all agree they are a really good option for lunch or dinner. The rice selection is awesome and even includes a gluten free option. My favorites are Ghee and Biryani. The meat selections are out of this world and all very good. Indian food is rich and flavorful automatically and they dont dusappoint. My favorites are: Butter Chicken over Ghee, Mutton over Biryani, and Nilgiri Chicken over Ghee. I think there is something there for any taste buds though. 😋. The flaky Parotta is small but very yummy. Its always freshly made and warm and it pairs so well with every dish so just get it. I also love how when you go in person, they ask to top every dish with cilantro and/ or chopped onions.. This is a nice additive to the dish and I hope they add this option to Doordash to select for those not going in person. It is very clean and they take pride in everything they do so I appreciate their effort and dedication to make you enjoy it. They also offer in person a small cup of savory yogurt raita sauce with each entree that again should also be included as an option when ordering online . They provide free water, but there are no soft drinks or sweet tea available. This would entice those of us to eat there more frequently or eat inside, just FYI. Sometimes the service does move sloww, but it's because people are I'm sampling mode and they dont have help to keep the line moving, so keep that in mind. I also recommend they invest in To-go utensils especially for to go orders, because open utensils today isnt necessarily the best move 😉. Overall, I am pleased with the start of this business and I will continue recommend them to folks in and outside of this area . I pray the quality and effort put into the food and prices stay the same. Good job Kolapasi! Keep up the good work.

Delicious! And they can make the bread gluten free. The beef was my favorite. Yummy!!!!

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!!!

River's Edge is a surprisingly good restaurant that's part of the US National Whitewater complex. If the weather isn't good enough for you, they have indoor seating. It feels like they have much more outdoor seating than indoors, as they should - the views are beautiful. There are many canvas coverings overhead to provide some shade, but in the evening when the sun is starting to set you can catch some sun right in your face or right on your back, which makes for a sweaty experience. It is wonderful to be able to eat a good meal while watching zipliners, enjoying the folks attacking the rapids right below you, or listening to a band performing right across the canal from where you sit and enjoy your food and drink. The atmosphere is top notch, even if your timing isn't ideal with the setting sun. The food is quite amazing for a location like this, as I would expect mostly overpriced fast-food-type choices when you don't have any other options except this or leaving the complex. Instead, you are presented with a diverse and healthy menu full of delicious options, including clearly labeled vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices. In our experiences there, the kitchen is very accommodating to any dietary or taste needs. My typical go-to is the Mediterranean Bowl. The falafel is always fried up well with that classic middle-eastern seasoning. Crunchy on the outside and well maintained on the inside. The veggies taste fresh. The rice is fine, but probably there's too much of it. The hummus is nice and traditionally prepared with good flavor and texture. The highlight of the dish is the whipped feta, which is a really unique take on delicious cheese and gives a fabulous tartness to the dish. I usually add the grilled chicken as well, for extra protein, and that is quite good. I once changed it up and ordered the smoked pulled chicken instead - that was just okay. It lacked any smokey flavor. I'll stick with the grilled chicken going forward. The service is generally just okay. There are a lot of tables outside, so the wait staff usually seems spread pretty thin. When a server is with you, they are very attentive to your questions and for taking your order. However there have been multiple times we've been waiting on refills of water or needed an order correction and it takes quite some time to get someone's attention. Overall, this place is great. Wonderful food with great views, River's Edge gives you an excuse not to leave USNWC too early after a fun day!

Not celiac safe. All GF crepes are cooked on the same surface as regular crepes and same utensils are used. I was really sad I couldn’t eat here!

Lex

The food here is amazing. I went in January for my birthday! The Ube Pancakes did not disappoint & the short rib hash was sooo good. My friend who has celiac got the oreo pancakes and my other friend got the shrimp and grits. We were all in love and full! I do think they need more space, I felt cramped and like I was in the staff’s way even though I was seated. Besides that, I want to go back soon bc it’s just that good!
