Top 10 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Grants Pass

Rachel Stephens

I think people need to temper their expectations with the fact you're in basically rural Oregon. This isn't a city, it's definitely a small town. I came here after finding it on the Find Me Gluten Free app. I came here because I have Celiac disease and read the owner of someone related to the owner is also a Celiac. Ambiance is definitely Italian restaurant in small town America. It's at the end of a strip mall near the Albertsons market. My menu was a printed paper that had gotten wet and then dried so the ink for the drink menu was smeared. Waitress was nice. She let me know that the fried foods and the desserts were gluten-free. I was disappointed to find out that making the food gluten-free is an undisclosed upcharge and that there wasn't any gluten-free bread. I got the appetizer of fried mushrooms for $15 which I felt was a bit much for button mushrooms rather than a fancier fungi. I had the $24 gluten-free chicken parmesan and while it was fine, I think I'd go with something else next time. My husband got the regular pasta and ordered the $23 carbonara, not even looking at his menu. That was a mistake because their carbonara is a mushroom cream dish and my husband hates mushrooms. "Carbonara" is a specific dish - cured pork, eggs, hard cheese and salt and pepper. Imagine ordering bolognese and it being full of mushrooms as the default. It's odd. My husband ordered wine and I got an Italian soda in guava flavor. Usually I'm sucking down 4-5 glasses of water but the water here was the local tap water which has a strong mineral taste. Overall, the meal was okay but I was a bit disappointed as a Celiac. Visited October 2024.

My wife has Celiac Disease and they make sure that everything is made gluten-free and safe for her. We can request gluten-free fries and buns for our sandwiches. The decor is fine. The staff are all very helpful and respectful.

The husband and I wanted to try it out after the change in ownership, so we went in for breakfast today. The atmosphere hasn't changed since the place opened. They weren't busy at the time, the parking lot was maybe half-full. In the area that we were seated, there were two other tables with two people seated at each. We ordered first but did not get our food first. We waited over 30min for two eggs, meat and a cup of fruit. I word it that way because they messed up the order. I had specifically asked for steak & eggs, with gluten free toast (they said they carried it). When the waiter came back saying they didn't have any & asked me if they could substitute anything to "supplement the meal", my husband answered "bacon". Instead of steak & bacon, they brought back four slices of bacon. The orange juice & over-easy eggs tasted bland and my husband (who actually got the steak he requested), said his steak was chewy & bland, mentioning how he was not asked how he wanted it cooked. Not worth the cost.

Came here for the great reviews and “allergy aware” menu. Our meal started great until we noticed very small pieces of croutons in a salad that was supposed to gluten free. This is important as there is a CELIAC ALLERGY not just a gluten free preference . We had to leave within the next ten minutes and the affected individual was throwing up the rest of the night. God forbid it had been an anaphylactic reaction, or we would have had to go to the hospital. Unacceptable when an allergy is stated.
