Top 8 Gluten-Free American Diners to Enjoy in Oxnard

We sat for open seating in the high table area. You still get the full menu and service. They had gluten free bun for my burger. I enjoyed my pineapple cocktail (I think it was a mule). I forgot the names of our drinks. I recommend the Cinnabon cheesecake.

My daughter and I took my five-year-old granddaughter to Lazy Dog for a Girls Day Out. She's a bit picky but loved the kids hamburger meal with fresh fruit and lemonade. My daughter enjoyed one of the rice bowls, and I chose the cheeseburger with red mashed potatoes from the gluten-free menu, which was terrific. Easy access from the 101 and usually plenty of free parking. The service was first rate! If anything is not just right, they will bend over backwards to correct it. Although we dined inside because it was a windy day, they have a lovely patio out back where pets are welcomed as valued guests.

I like the gluten free options. This location was very under staffed.

Gluten free options! Had the GF French toast. Cute spot near the beach.

Super chill waiters/waitresses, they are always in a good mood. There's a gluten free menu on request. I love the selection of mule flavors here. I always come here to hang out with friends and catch up. It's never been a disappointment.

Excellent menu, I love the low calories and they have gluten-free bread, the service is a little slow but in the end the food makes you forget the wait

We had a rehearsal dinner at Waterside for my best friend’s wedding on May 16, and I was blown away by how great everything was. The manager and staff were amazing, and handled our large party with such professionalism. The manager personally helped me many times, grabbing an extra table/table cloth to set up the event decor, showing me the best places for photos in the private room, and even finding me a place to charge my phone. The atmosphere was just perfect for our party, and we loved having the sunset/water be the backdrop of the party. I was nervous about the lower temperatures when I first walked in, however it was very comfortable the entire time. I’m gluten free and dairy free, and the staff brought out a tray of vegetables just for me with so I could enjoy the hummus appetizer with the other guests. The blackberry margarita was one of my favorite drinks I had the whole trip. As a former restaurant manager, I know how labor intensive large private parties can be, & how easy it can be for the staff to overwhelmed. However, our entire party was so well attended to the multiple hours we were there. There was always at least one staff in the private room at all times, so we never a time where we had to hunt down someone for a service request. They deserve recognition for making this very special night so memorable. Every single thing I ate was so delicious, and while I couldn’t have many of the dishes the family selected, the guests around me were absolutely raving each time a new item came out for them to try. I packed some lactaid just in case there was something I wanted to try, and I’m so glad I did because the strawberry chocolate dessert was out of this world. Wish I could have had a bucket of it 😂

Still the best shakes and best bargain for a burger anywhere. Gluten free options would be great as well as perhaps adding more variety to the menu after so many years.
