Food was delicious, they have vegetarian and gluten free options. Strozzapreti gluten free pasta was safe for gluten allergies.

Incredible food. Helpful waitstaff. Pleasant, fun atmosphere. My girlfriend is gluten free and tries to limit dairy. It was easy to have a great GF meal, and their various sheep and goat milk/cheese dishes made it super easy to go low lactose, too. She’s very sensitive and says this is the best dinner she’s had in years. The portions were appropriate for the richness of the food, and we tried almost everything on the GF menu and both left satisfied (and pleasantly surprised by the bill). The pastel de chocolate was a delightful dessert, too.

What an incredible restaurant. We really enjoyed our dinner and were thankful they were open late since we came in after exploring the Smokies. I loved to watch him crack open my whole lobster to get the meat out for me. Lots of gluten free options. Fresh seafood. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

Becky was our waitress and she was fantastic. Lots of gluten-free options and they were very careful about making sure we were safe to eat. Wonderful place to eat.

We ended up at Urban Grub after finding out the wait at a nearby breakfast spot was 2.5 hours for 2 people- yikes! Whisper was our server and she was amazing! So personable and sweet. She was also able to help my celiac friend navigate the menu and even offered options for substitutions. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits which was FANTASTIC. I ordered the Oscar Bennie which was OK. The crab comes cold and on the side, which was odd, but the crab was tasty nonetheless. The hollandaise was flavorless, although it was advertised as being “citrus”. I got it with a side of Gouda grits, which were so yummy. Overall, pretty happy with our experience! And kudos to our server, Whisper!

Outstanding food and wonderful service. Very gluten-free friendly for our Celiac family. Portions were generous for the price. Very convenient to Rock City and Ruby Falls. Highly recommend!

A dual birthday celebration led is too the Acropolis Grill. The food was delicious, Lucy our server was wonderful, and we had the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy beautiful weather. I had the Gyro Dinner with a Greek salad. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked, the pita bread was good, and the rice was well prepared. One of our party was provided a vegetarian menu, and they also provided a gluten free menu. We'll definitely be going back here!

Super good! There was a really nice waitress. She's one of those sweet southern ladies that make you wish you could live in Tennessee. They also had Gluten-free options. Kinda limited though. I wish the barbecue sauce was Gluten-free.

Very cool place. They do not have a dedicated gluten free menu. My wife has Celiac and can't eat gluten, but the waiter was knowledgeable about gluten free options on the menu....btw the tacos are a corn tortilla, so gluten free.

Our favorite place in Murfreesboro. Superb food. Deliciously plated. Servers are engaged and knowledgeable of menu...and make excellent recommendations. We love to pop in when we want something light. BangBang shrimp is our favorite! And the servers and chef are well-versed of Gluten-Free diets and will accommodate you without hesitation. If you want excellent cuisine and service in a comfortable atmosphere...Bone Fish Grill never disappoints.

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease recently, so happy to find a restaurant that actually takes measures to prevent gluten cross-contamination! Great food. Great care to super sensitive celiacs like myself.

We haven't been to Olive Garden in a while and decided to head over for an early dinner. It was enjoyable and delicious. Great service and many classic Italian Entrées, family-style meals, fan favorites, appetizers, amazing alfredo dishes, soups, and endless salad & breadsticks. Olive Garden has gone out of their way to present you with some incredible menu selections such as - Tour of Italy, Shrimp or Ravioli Carbonara, Lasagna, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Stuffed Chicken Marsala, Manicotti, Five cheese Ziti al forno, Herb Grilled Salmon, and more. They have Family Bundles and Pans to feed large families and groups. One of my favorites is the Zuppa Toscana Soup, made with spicy Italian sausage and creamy potato broth. It's gluten-free. If you haven't been to Olive Garden in a while. Plan to.

I tried this restaurant about a week ago when a woman's group met there. They have great martinis and a wonderful wine list by the glass. I was really impressed that they have a full gluten-free menu. Most restaurants have none. The service was good considering we had about 18 people there arriving at various times. I had a salmon Cesar and the salmon was cooked perfectly! And the Kim Crawford wine was excellent. Something I rarely see on menus. Portions were large and pricing was reasonable. Try it!

This really is a hidden gem! Speakeasy vibe with an eclectic menu. Gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu which is much appreciated. I had the Jumbo Shrimp & Grits and it was so good! My partner that has no dietary restrictions had the Cajun Pasta. He said it was very good as well.

Sadly the Cornmeal has changed and has flour now and is no longer gluten free, so no more fried okra or catfish. We always came here for that. At least the nachos are still ok to have. Fish wise I was told the trout almondine won't be done without the breading, the salmon has soy, and the catfish can't be done without breading even though it is breaded as it's made I guess the fish quality not good when grilled or is too small. Unsure. I've had grilled catfish at other places just fine. Maybe one day they'll bring back to good cornmeal. :/ Such a sad day.

If you're in Chattanooga, I highly recommend this restaurant! From the Caesar salad, deviled eggs with candied bacon, roasted beets and goat cheese to the Shrimp and Grits, and their Hibiscus Mule(house ginger beer). Everything from Service to food was Excellent. Ended the meal with their Praline Caramel Carrot Cake. Very Good! They also have a Good gluten free selection.

Last year I went with my son after Mother's Day. After two interactions, our server would not come back to the table and refused to even acknowledge me. I had to go find a manager to get the bill. Service has not gotten better. I went with friends tonight and will likely never go back. Our server took 20 minutes to refill drinks AFTER I had to flag him down and saw him tending to other tables. Food took almost an hour to come out and all that was ordered at our table were burgers or sandwiches, a salad and gluten free honeysuckle chicken tenders. They say they have a dedicated Gluten Free fryer, but I still got sick. The Calamari appetizer used to be good. The "steaks" have turned into wedges smaller than most steak fries. One of our party was supposed to have a wedge salad with chicken. The chicken never came out, the salad was literally a head of iceberg lettuce cut in half with a vinaigrette and sliced onions on it, nothing at all like the menu described. The only change he wanted was no Bleu cheese. Used to be good. Now just disappointing.

Was invited to the quaint, adorable, and inviting atmosphere of Frannie's Vegan Café today by a sweet friend who treated me to lunch... and it was wonderful! Besides the food being super fresh and healthy it was tasty and fun too. How is food fun? Here it just is, especially if you are new to vegan food. The fun comes from stepping out of the box, trying something new and seeing how it compares to food you are otherwise used to. Frannie's has a welcoming atmosphere that's coupled with a homey kitchen and cool decor. It felt like being on vacation in a new town when stepping inside with an urban meets country vibe. For added fun, I has a patron pick out my meal, which was the jackfruit Bar B Que sandwhich with a sideof carrots and seasoned potatoes. The gluten free lemon and blueberry cupcake hit the sweets craving spot too! It was great leaving satiated and not stuffed or too full, which I attribute to the quality of the food prepared there. Definitely worth checking out!

My wife had lunch at the Chop House in Kingsport on Thursday. She has some pretty serious food allergies and explained the situation to her waiter named Chris. She placed her order and thought he completely understood what she needed to keep her safe. The other two individuals ordered the same items but did not ask for their food to be "plain". Another server brought the meals to the table and my wife was not really sure she got the "plain" meal. When the waiter refilled her drink glass, he said "here's your gluten free water". This was a real turn off for her. Later in the day, she did experience some allergic reactions to what she had eaten which had to be dealt with. I would strongly suggest that you reiterate to your wait staff the importance of paying attention to guests with severe food allergies, especially when they go into detail of what they need. We don't eat out often and this just reinforces why we don't.

My Girlfriend and I went to the Olive Garden. I wanted to write a little review of the Famous Olive Garden. Olive Garden has been around for years, almost as long as I have know. When I was younger, I never understood the Olive Garden salad but I love the Breadsticks. It took time all these years later, the Breadsticks are still good but the Famous House Salad is absolutely wonderful. I wish that I could go to OG just for the Salad alone. The Homemade Soups are Chicken & Gnocchi, Pasta e Fagioli, Minestrone & Zuppa Toscana. The Dipping Sauces are marinara, homemade alfredo or five cheese marinara. There are Gluten Free options and there is a Kids Menu. Also, Olive Garden offers Catering too. Flipside -> The Lasagna Frites are not that good, I was very disappointed. Their restaurant is clean, plenty of parking, Wheelchair accessible as well, and The Staff are friendly & helpful.

Sat at bar. Didn't order alcohol drinks, but wanted to eat male bartender was helpful with gluten free and vegetarian options but wasn't pleased we weren't drinking, lol. Had the potato chip nachos: Fab. And the ceviche sampler. Split with a friend it was perfect.

We had an excellent meal! We have a gluten allergy in our group. We spoke to the GM due to the website and allergen menu not being up to date with their current menu. Our meal was prepared separately in different area. Sydney was an amazing server! She rocked!!!

My ribeye was cooked to perfection and the salad bar was great as well. Too bad there weren’t any gluten-free desserts. Be sure to ask for a table by the river!

I posted a review earlier today buts it’s gone now. I’ll repost and capture the image in case it disappears again. I have celiac disease. I ordered lunch here to go online, I ordered 4 gluten free rolls with gluten free soy sauce. I got home and started eating my lunch. About 2/3 of the way through my meal I realized they gave “low sodium” soy sauce which uses wheat as an active ingredient. I’ve been feeling increasingly ill since. My receipt also shows I ordered gluten free soy sauce. I’m really not happy at that level of service or negligence.
