Top 10 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Downtown Columbus

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

Randomly stumbled in because nothing else was opeb. They had great pizza, great service ( thanks Brock!) and even the perfect gluten free crust for my 12 year old! 5 stars, we'll be going back again.

I absolutely love coming here to work. The employees are kind and charismatic, the facilities are clean, the music and the vibes are great. One MAJOR issue… If you have a gluten sensitivity (namely celiac disease) I’d consider skipping this place if you plan to order actual food! While they do offer gluten free options for pastries that they source from reliable, local GF bakeries, The Roosevelt themselves raise no caution when these pastries reach their care when it comes to cross contamination. As a celiac myself, it is just so disappointing to see. Their prepackaged pastries from Cherbourg are fine, but if you are interested in their new GF/vegan donut options, just forget it. They are almost always cross contaminated. They sit on the same plate as other vegan (but VERY GLUTEN) pastries. If they just moved them to a separate plate, or dedicated the top shelf to their GF options, everything would be fine. I really didn’t want to leave a negative review on this place, but I’ve raised this issue to several employees on separate occasions and no action is ever taken, so this is sort of a last ditch effort. It’s just horribly disappointing. I love this place, I just wish they took this specific issue more seriously. If I’m going to pay a fortune for a GF pastry, I want to eat it with the peace of mind that its safe for my consumption. Coffee & justice for all…but not for celiacs :(

Great service, good food, great dessert, and good drinks. I ordered a margarita and it was very good. The salmon was well complimented with sauce and grilled asparagus. It was VERY slightly overdone as one edge was crispy but the rest was very good. The strawberry rhubarb crisp was very good and I confirmed it is Gluten free because they use almond flour. Overall very pleased I stayed in the hotel to eat which is unusual as normally there are better options around most hotels. Prices seemed to be better than many downtown hotels.

I had a nice time there. It is a place I could get comfortable in a hurry! The staff was very welcoming and helpful. My wife has Celiac and the bartender did too. She was able to help my wife navigate the menu and everything turned out good! They have many menu items I would love to try! The loaded tots were killer! Corned beef and kraut! Yumm! Two things stuck out on the negative side, one, the coleslaw, seemed like salad with mayo. Very minor, easily forgivable. The second, the mixed drink cost. I believe a double Titos and soda was $18. That is nuts! may as well drink at the airport. At least at the airport the second shot is at a discount... All of that said, I will avoid the mixed drinks, but I will not avoid the establishment. I will return to try more of the menu and I'll stick with a beer!

Stopped in for lunch this week and was surprised by the varied menu, with vegan/vegetation, gluten free options and "traditional" fare. We loved the atmosphere, bright and open with a great view of the Columbus. The staff were friendly and courteous and made sure we were pleased with our meal. We can't wait to go back Great coffee, too!
