Top 2 Gluten-Free American Spots to Enjoy in North Historic District, Savannah

Keith Hanlon

Went above and beyond for my celiac. Everything was fantastic, their portion sizes were way more than I expected. This place was the highlight of our trip to Savannah

I'm gluten free not always easy to find a good place to eat.But found Kayak Kafe' had a turkey avocado sandwich that was amazing! A small salad with cilantro lime dressing freshly made in house was one of the best dressings I have ever had. My husband had a cucumber lemonade that was delicious! Would visit again if ever I'm in town.

Nice place on the Savannah River for a good southern meal. We enjoyed all our food but the highlights were the Spicy fried shrimp, the fried chicken and the chocolate mousse cake. Our server was amazing and we really appreciated that the restaurant offered plenty of gluten free options for my daughter.

we came for the gluten free key lime pie, which was delicious, and the opportunity for a little patio dining at the end of a long day of touring Savannah, also delightful. but a special shout out goes to our server, Katie, who, from the word "hello," was a top-notch host and guide to our brief experience there. thank you Katie. we'll definitely have an italian job cocktail in your honor the next time we're in town.

The service was great. The line was admittedly very long because the place is super popular. It’s one of those “don’t miss” tourist things. So, when in Rome… they had people bringing water to those of us waiting in 100 degree heat. We waited and had our choices picked out. I was happily surprised they had vegan ice cream. It’s not sorbet or sherbet, it’s actual ice cream, and they can make all kinds of treats with it. They clearly mark their menu for allergens, too, including gluten, nuts, and whether an item can be made vegan. I have multiple allergies so this is very much appreciated. They also offered to scoop out of the back where there was less cross contamination when an allergy was involved, so, again much appreciated. The reason I didn’t rate 5 stars… the ice cream wasn’t knock your socks off ice cream. It’s good, but to stand in line for 30 minutes and all the jazz, the experience didn’t match the hype to me. If you’re looking for ice cream on a hot day, this would be the best option. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it though.

The service is excellent, beginning with the staff at the front as soon as you enter. Everyone is pleasant and cheerful. I have celiac, and the server was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. It had been a hot day, and I always enjoy a chilled wedge salad after being in the heat. The salad was excellent, and the chill was just enough to cool me down after having a couple of drinks on a rooftop bar. All four guests enjoyed the same Wine is reasonably priced based on the normal restaurant charge, and two of us enjoyed a couple of bottles less one glass for someone else. Main orders consisted of 2 ribeyes, a large filet, a small filet, and a small wagyu for an appetizer. The wagyu was outstanding with just the right amount of salt to really enhance the flavor. We only ordered one side of spinach. I did not have any, just focused on my steak. Everyone enjoyed their steaks. Said they had been perfectly cooked and tasted great. I enjoyed the large filet, but not to the fullest. I understand how difficult it is to cook such a thick steak, but the top and bottom portions were very dry, flavorless, and not that appealing. The middle portion, which is the largest, was cooked perfectly. It was getting through the tasteless, overcooked outer part first that I did not enjoy. Overall, it was a good dinner. Excellent service will make you forget about minor issues. I will return soon and check out the ribeye.

The atmosphere is a nice experience. Every staff member was super welcoming and happy to help. The biscuits and whipped potatoes were very good, but a friend and I shared 2 entrees: a shrimp & scallop pasta and a salmon dish. Neither of us finished the shrimp because it was overcooked. Our expectations were high because of the restaurant's reputation, but the main courses did not live up to that at all. I should've said something at the time because our server tried hard to help, but I didn't want to be difficult. Another friend at the table had said she is gluten-free and still was served a sauce with her steak that had gluten. The server was very apologetic, but it was surprising that there was no alternative other than "we weren't supposed to bring out the sauce."

Went here because of the gluten free bun and turkey/ impossible meat option. It was a good burger and fries. The actual building is a little on the grittier side, but overall the food was solid.

Susie Tackett

Highly recommend especially if you are Celiac! Very accommodating! Service is always top notch!

Kim Seaman

I really love the atmosphere. It looked out over the river. The interior was very rustic but classy. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and how things could be made gluten free. Staff was friendly, interactive and the environment was clean and very inviting. We went for lunch but there was a piano so I am sure that they have live music in the evening or on special occasions.

Sue Fritzke

Great food! We had curry shrimp, seared salmon, teriyaki beef (gluten free) and teriyaki chicken. The vegetables with fresh and crisp, each meat was done to perfection. Excellent!

Anne Parris

Inventive cocktails, including no-alcohol drinks, a great beer selection, and a lovely atmosphere. We had excellent service and top-notch hamburgers. The server made suggestions that helped me make gluten-free selections. The fryer is not dedicated gf so I was able to sub in cheese grits. I don’t know that I would choose the grits again, but the burger was one of the best I’ve had in Savannah.

What a fun name with lots of fun and out of the ordinary food choices. Everything we had tasted very good! The collards were almost as good as my Mama's and that takes a lot. The PB&J wings were unexpectedly delicious! Food was served hot and quickly. Our server, Kelsea C. was fabulous even while she was taking care of most of the restaurant's tables in the front. She was always smiling, calm, and courteous. Not many gluten free options. Looking at the tables around us, everything looked delicious. You can see most everyone plates because space is tight.

Amy

Excellent food even had a separate gluten free menu with several selections Highly Recommend!

I went here with my fiancé, who has dietary concerns relating to gluten and soy— and after carefully reviewing their information (posted below) we were very excited about the bacon, eggs, and hash brown options for him! To our dismay, the service attendant told us that they use soy on their grill— which completely negates this dietary information and significantly lessened what my fiancé was able to safely eat. Don’t rely on the online posted guide. Always ask. We narrowly avoided him having a bad reaction.

Food is good. Simple. Gluten free is pretty easy. Great location. Love the atmosphere. Might get noisy when busy.

Entrées were delicious, also a wide variety of gluten-free meals was very pleasing to my aunt who has celiac's!
