Foo Dog has been my favorite for years for gluten free food deliciousness. As someone with celiac, this place is a dream come true. Everything is so flavorful and unique from anything else around Jax. I try a new dish or app every time and I’m never disappointed. I love introducing this place to others. My only complaint is that wish I could buy their sauces and vegan popcorn by the gallon!

I'm not a big chain restaurant fan, however, True Food kitchen is an exception. It really is whole food. I appreciate that there are several vegan and gluten-free options. The butternut squash soup and the hot tulsi ginger and tea are somethings I always look forward to.

I have reviewed this exact location before and gave it five stars but I need to update it. It’s only worth three. Food wasn’t nearly half as good as it was last time. The sausage was dried out. The pancakes were average. I got the peach ones that were on special this month. My wife had gluten pre-pancakes, which were OK for gluten-free. Let’s be real here. But the waiter was rude. He was normally rude to us. He was rude to other people and they may be shortstaffed, but there’s no excuse to treat people like that. They need to be knocked down a notch accordingly.

Great service! We are visiting Florida and this place was safe for our daughter because it is fully dedicated gluten free food.

Cali Bowers

Such a great find! They had amazing gluten free doughnuts, the matcha and chai were superb and the staff couldn't have been sweeter.

Marc Sing

Great place as always. A little sad they don’t have a dedicated area to cook for gluten free as my wife has celiac. Flavors were great and price is right!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arepa is a great spot, especially if you’re looking for gluten-free options! The place has a nice, cozy vibe and it was super quick to get seated, which was a pleasant surprise. The food took a little while, but it was definitely worth the wait — everything was fresh and delicious. The service was okay-ish. The host or waiter didn’t check up on us at all during the meal, but he was friendly when we left. My partner thanked him and said everything was delicious, and he appreciated that. He also knew a bit about gluten-free needs and recommended a celiac-friendly arepa for my partner, which was super helpful. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Only pickup and delivery. Everything is gluten-free and dairy-free

We stopped for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the great food and service. Our server, Matt, recommended the Bison Burger, Avalon, and it was delicious. It’s nice to have gluten free dining options, too.

Roger Hargrove

Great pizza. Hannah was excellent! Had gluten free option for one of our family members!

Caroline Clements

Very happy to have stumbled upon this gem. We visited after the GA FL Game & were sat immediately after given options for different tables. We ordered and our drinks and food were brought out quickly and fresh. I have celiac (non-reactive) and had a fantastic gluten free pizza. I got the Laura and it was delicious. Others in my party got a meat lovers pizza & sandwiches and all were great. We were checked on frequently and offered to go drinks. All around fantastic & we hope to be back next year.

Destiny Dykeman

Our waitress Kate was absolutely incredible! She was very knowledgeable about the gluten-free options and the kitchen procedures to make sure the food was celiac safe. She was also very kind and the service was amazing!

Tia Bodine

Absolutely love this pizza place! They offer a fantastic gluten-free crust that actually tastes amazing, which is hard to find. The crust is perfectly crispy and holds up well with all the delicious toppings. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, and the variety of pizzas is top-notch. Whether you're gluten-free or not, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend!

LORI

Never disappoints. Fabulous food. I cannot do gluten and it was no problem. They even have a separate gf fryer. Highly recommend!!

Chevonne H

LOVED this place! The gluten free pasta AND chicken parm was so delicious! My friend and I also loved Sean at the bar! A great night out!

I fell in love with both the neighborhood and the restaurant. Their food is so good, and I can order almost anything I like due to the gluten free friendly substitutions. Instead of breaded chickun they grilled my soy curls unbreaded, substituted their house patty that has gluten for a Beyond burger, and served me both on GF buns. I was ecstatic!!! A restaurant where I can enjoy Plant-Based Comfort Food, then enjoy the fantastic nearby shops (I’ll share in upcoming posts) is everything my heart desires. 🥰 FYI: I caution anyone with Celiac’s disease that cross contamination is possible, and the fryer/grill are shared. Gluten Free Fried Pickles: This was the #1 reason I wanted to eat here. Yes, their menu is amazing, but I wasn’t sure I could enjoy much even with a gluten free bun as an option. However, fried pickles have long been a favorite that I haven’t enjoyed in almost a decade, and this is the first restaurant I’ve seen that has them. They were so good, I would order them, even if they didn’t have anything else I could eat. But, thankfully, they do! I had these as a side for the Buffalo Ranch Chickun, specifically prepared to be gluten friendly, per my request. It was absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to eat it again! I'm also looking forward to another Black Cherry Tarragon Stubborn Soda because it was delicious. Murray Hillbilly has a laid-back atmosphere with books to read and games to play while you wait for your food. There’s even a small assortment of items to buy including t-shirts, hand-crafted hats, and a variety of eco-friendly items. I had to try on the crochet hats. They were absolutely adorable, and for those who don’t know I used to not be able to wear hats because I had too much hair. 😆 I loved that each one was different not just in color but in style, and it was neat to see how they each looked on me. Perhaps next time I’ll leave with one.

Melody Beers

The food and service is absolutely amazing here!!! Today our server John, was a delight and made sure we had everything we could possibly need (and more) at all times. I got the lamb and it was absolutely amazing 😍 The Tuna Tar Tar starter is so fresh and delicious! (as well as everything on the menu) My hubby and MIL got the cedar planked salmon and loved it! They are also great at accommodating with allergy’s— I knew I didn’t need to worry with my gluten intolerance. This is our second time and we definitely will be back again!!

Eva Pitsoulakis

This Thai restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the pad thai & we shared fried tofu squares and spring rolls with peanut sauce. Everything was full of flavor & they were super accommodating to my gluten and dairy allergies.

Izzie Titberidze

The food was incredibly delicious. I'm gluten-free, so I got a potato bowl. You can build your own breakfast and add whatever you'd like. They do not have gluten-free bread on the menu, but their bowls were much better than a sandwich. Coffee was delicious, too.

Karry King

Excellent place for lunch. I’ve ordered online a couple times. It was very good and fast. Good portions and filling. Love the lemonade and Philly cheese made with mushrooms. I appreciate being able to get gluten free and dairy free options and that the food is made with fresh veggies and isn’t all soy based and seitan fake meat or covered in cheese like so many restaurants do that call it vegetarian. I have alpha-gal and am highly allergic to mammal meats, and I am sensitive to dairy and gluten. I am thankful to have a place that only serves vegan options so I don’t have to worry about cross contamination from mammal meats or dairy products that make me sick. My husband really likes it, too.

Rebekah Milks

This place has solid food and many gluten friendly options! The customer service is always excellent and fast.

Diana Ramos

Was able to get a gluten-free dairy free pizza that was really good. Great service, nice vibe.

Caryn Jones

It's rare for upscale restaurants to offer a designated gluten-free menu. I was pleasantly surprised that Iguana on Park not only has a GF menu and the choices are absolutely delicious!

William Bennett

Amazing Italian food that is both delicious and authentic! Their gluten free pasta is fantastic as well. I highly recommend trying this place for a satisfying meal.

Karissa Hagemeister

💙 I ate at the Blue Orchid Thai restaurant for the first time this past week with my friend. It captures your attention right away with its beautiful interior and large outdoor eating porch. We decided to sit outside because the weather was so nice. I ordered my fav Thai dish, Drunken Noodles. They are great about taking care of gluten allergies there and the dish tasted very fresh and delicious. My friend got the yellow curry and she loved it. If you love Thai food definitely go The ambiance, food and location are amazing 🤩

Amanda Suter

Mia was especially helpful when we were choosing our beverages. She also gave a great gluten free option!

Marlon Tran

Hawker’s was my first stop for my trip to Jacksonville. I sure was craving Asian cuisine and this place is the place to go-to. The decor and atmosphere was very lively and see why it is. The food was fantastic and delightful especially the Roast Duck Bao. The Bao is so simple few ingredients which makes it amazing and always been my favorite. The other dishes Roti, C.K.T, Singapore definitely complement each other and can hold its own. Viet-Spresso was a very good twist to the popular espresso martini but more of kicker going into the veins. As I’m typing this, I can taste all the food once again. *multiple items can be made gluten free such as the Singapore Mei fun and the servers are open to finding alternatives for your restrictions.

New in town and pleased to find this restaurant that has Gluten free options. I'll be back to try them all. Server Chloe was awesome.

I’ll admit that the day I visited, I was in a rush. I specifically came in to order the Cuban sandwich, which was an old favorite before becoming vegan and later gluten free. The atmosphere was lovely, and the human who prepared my food was wonderful. I could see sitting at the bar having a leisurely meal with friends or solo while reading/working or chatting with the staff. (If I hadn’t been in a rush I would have stayed to chat.) That said, I will definitely visit again when I have more time and try some other offerings. I loved that they have gluten free bread available, but most of the sandwiches have wheat meat style slices. Unfortunately, this was the case with my Cuban, but I will say that for maybe the 5th time in the 8 years I’ve been gluten free I said screw it. I got the sandwich on the gluten free bread (because I may walk a little on the wild side, but I’m not reckless as I knew more than that and I’d definitely feel it later). I had the sandwich hot pressed, and I split it with Stephen. It was delicious and tasted very much like I remembered a Cuban tasting. However, I would rather stick to the truly gluten free options so I probably won’t get it again. My side was the potato salad, which was delicious, but spicy so I could only eat a few bites. However, Stephen devoured it along with the 1/2 a Cuban. The black cherry limeade I had was very good. Looking at the menu, I didn’t ask about the thot dogs, but my guess is they’re probably also wheat meat. Of the sandwiches, it looks like I could get 3/5 of them on gluten bread otherwise as is, so I’ll give them a try. There are quite a few smoothies and juices, but I tend to go places for the variety of gluten free vegan options. I’ll be back next I’m in town, and I’ll stay a while this time while I try something new. (If I was not also gluten free this would be an amazing option.) FYI: While I am gluten free by choice due to Hashimoto’s disease, it’s not much of a choice because without it I have insomnia (and I preferring sleeping). Cross contamination does not impact me personally, but be aware that this is not a gluten free establishment if you have Celiac’s disease.

Within a minute of being there, I was greeted by a very cute person and given free cornbread and samples of three of their outrageously tasty meats that are made of actual plants instead of just soy and/or gluten. Truly unique and creative plant-based cooking here, but with a traditional soul food flavor.

Abigail Medford

Delicious food and tons of great gluten free options! 🙌🏻

Gili's Kitchen is an absolute gem and truly felt like a home away from home for our family. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. Tanya was the highlight of our experience. She is the most amazing, patient, and kind-hearted woman. She loved our kids, treated them with so much care, and made us all feel relaxed and happy. She was also super helpful and fast with taking our order and offering thoughtful suggestions that made everything even better. The food was incredible. Real, authentic Israeli Mediterranean flavors that took us straight back to the taste of home. Every single bite was delicious and comforting. We enjoyed the meat hummus which was creamy and flavorful, the lamb kebabs which were juicy and perfectly spiced, the baguette shawarma full of amazing textures and flavors, and the huge schnitzel which was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Make sure you ask for their spicy paste called schug on the side. It adds the perfect kick. They also have amazing desserts. We tried the babka and the brownies and both were delicious. They even have gluten-free dessert options which we really appreciated. One of the best parts is how much more there is on the menu. There are so many other dishes we are excited to try. We are already planning to come back to explore more. The prices are very fair, especially for the big portions and high quality of everything. This place has everything you could want. Delicious food, great service, a warm and family-friendly atmosphere, and a staff that truly cares. We highly recommend Gili's Kitchen and will definitely return again soon.

Went last night for dinner, called ahead to see if they were still safe for celiacs doing hibachi. The lady who answered the phone was really sweet and explained that they would make my food in the back but it would take a little longer because they had to wipe everything down, which I was fine with! When we got there she reminded me to let my server know. My food came out before my fiancé got his meat from the hibachi table! It was quick and delicious!! I’m a sensitive celiac person, so I couldn’t recommend this place more!! They doubled checked the ranch dressing for me (it is gluten free), and just made me feel really safe eating here! It’s a must try!! The only thing I wish is that they had gluten free yum yum sauce. We will be back!!!
