Top 9 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Stamford

A lovely gentleman took care of us, excellent customer service. The food was delicious, my mother has celiac and other food intolerances, she had plenty of options to choose from. I had their prosciutto panini, it was yummy. Highly recommend!

If you’re in Stamford and there’s nowhere else to go then this place, attached to la Quinta, right off 95, has a cool, old school American diner look and a nice hostess. Order something very safe. Do not order any salad, anything with chicken or the French dip au jus, because they are just not good at all. I met my friend and her daughter there. We normally meet at the fabulous New Rochelle diner, but we thought we’d change things up. Sigh. We told the waiter the daughter was celiac and asked several questions about what was gluten free. She got grilled cheese on gf bread which came with French fries that were NOT gluten free. Fortunately the daughter sensed they weren’t and held off eating them. The waiter just didn’t register his mistake. No one ever bused the table which was a mess. We finally went and found a waiter and ordered lemon meringue pie- 2 slices - and deçàf. The decaf was great, the pie had a bit of freezer burn but was fine. The place looks fun, but it’s just not good or friendly besides the hostess. Then, while we were eating the pie they began to vacuum. Loudly. We are friendly and there’s nothing off putting about us. We didn’t say anything about the fries mishap or anything else, and they decided to just full out loudly vacuum right there in our faces. No communication/offer to have us move. In short, they were unfriendly and the food was bad.

I hosted my sister's baby shower here last weekend. I was really impressed by how Will (manager) and the chef accommodated a custom menu that met all the unique dietary requirements of our party (vegan, vegetarian, celiac, dairy free). The view from the semi-private area of the restaurant where we held the party felt quite personal, with a great view of the patio and water. Nice, tall, green hedges sectioned off our area from the rest of the restaurant. We were allowed to arrive early to set up some flower arrangements and all the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful (they provided us with glasses for flowers and an extra high table for party favors, and they cleaned up everything we brought after we left). They even let us linger longer after our three hour time slot had finished. Everything went so smoothly and was very relaxed and delicious. The cocktails and mocktails were GREAT too. Thank you so much for making it a special celebration for our family and friends.

Wow, the service here was phenomenal! All the staff were so attentive and very knowledgeable about allergies like gluten (for celiac disease). Plus the cocktails, buffet bar, meats, and desserts were all tasty. My family and I were so impressed and would recommend.

If you don't mind spending a little bit more, DIG makes excellent, healthy food that offers lots of choices and flavors. I never know what to get, and I've never been disappointed! Don't sleep on the gluten-free brownies - they're rich and delicious!
