Top 5 Gluten-Free American Diners to Enjoy in Beacon

Angela Perez

I hate writing negative reviews but I feel obligated to leave one for the sake of anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions who is interested in dining here. I have celiacs, which is an immune deficiency triggered by gluten (wheat). My family chose this restaurant because they are known to be very accommodating for dietary restrictions and we made them aware of my restrictions when making the reservation. There was an item on the menu labeled as gluten free that I was interested in and upon ordering our food, I was notified that the menu was incorrect and that some items labeled as gluten free are actually not gluten free. I instead ordered the salmon and risotto. My food didn’t come out with my family’s food and I waited 15 additional minutes for my food to arrive to the table. During the time I waited, my family noticed that nearly every dish that arrived at the table was undercooked and needed to be sent back (and was still not cooked to the desired temperature when it returned to the table). My salmon was delicious and all was well until about an hour after I returned home when I became violently ill and remained so through Christmas. The only redeeming quality for this dining experience was the incredible, albeit very overwhelmed, wait staff who unfortunately had to do a lot of apologizing for our dining experience. I really wanted to give Melzinga’s the benefit of the doubt but when my health is on the line I expect it to be taken seriously or at minimum be told that I cannot be accommodated for.

Kitchen Sink catered our wedding and it was truly spectacular. Friday night was a fried chicken buffet that our guests could not get enough of. Saturday food came in two batches of amazing, but the first round--our picnic dinner--was really to die for. The grill-top veggies and roasted meats were something that our guests talked to us about for weeks following the wedding. It's hard to call this wedding food, because it was really just an utterly amazing, perfectly designed meal that we got to eat on our most special day. Food aside - the team is also fire. Brian is a master chef and I think Jeff is KS's master of the house - high energy, and makes you just feel fun and festive and special all of the time. HUGE thanks to KS... thank god you have a restaurant we can come back to again and again. OH. And my husband has Celiac Disease. Almost everything was the same except for some pita, pie crust and the fried chicken. But he said his fried chicken is the best he's had. He got to enjoy with everyone else, not be nervous about cross contamination and the guests didn't have to eat strictly gluten free!

They have the best gluten-free pancakes 🙌 so wondering to find a celiac safe brunch option.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The gluten-free pizza was terrific, the staff were so nice. It was excellent.
