Very good dinner at Sixty Vines Monday night. The menu clearly identifies a large variety of gluten free options and the staff did well in asking about dietary restrictions. Had one of the best filets I’ve had in a while, along with a few vegetables on the side. Nice (but pricey) wine selection too. If you’re eating on broadway you’re likely going to have to spend a bit, but this is a great spot to treat yourself!

Our server Kaylee who was also the bartender ( we sat at the bar) was sweet, very knowledgeable of the items and how they were cooked. Oh, and made a mean strawberry margarita and Jack and coke! The food was absolutely mouth watering and the gluten free selection is out of this world! I know it’s a picture of half my burger but I forgot to snap a pic before devouring into it. If you are in Nashville and want a great burger and have a gluten allergy THIS is the place!!

Put name on waitlist before going it definitely gets busy. We ended up sitting at the bar had Becca as our bartender. It was so nice we came back the next day. We had gluten free egg scramble with fruit. Cinnamon French toast and shrimp and grits . Blackberry smash and cold vanilla brew with almond milk.

Lauren Halford

The experience was so great we went twice in one day! The head chef came out and we talked over my multiple allergies. Then came up with a dish that was safe for me. The chef made sure the waitstaff and kitchen staff knew how to ring in the order and make it safely.

Peter Angelos

Solid go-to spot for good chicken, but everyone knows this, so just plan on a line and a few minutes wait. Grilled chicken and some sides are gluten-free. I have Celiac and have eaten here without getting a reaction, but it's the usual risk. Order as GF allergic. I get greens, grits and hot 🔥 grilled chicken.

Andrea James

Excellent gluten-free options and the fully loaded nachos were amazing!

Valeria Arrieta Araujo

Lots of Gluten Free options! We had the best waiter last time we where there (can’t remember her name) she was the nicest!!!

Lee “Lorelei” Sensibaugh

DO. NOT. MISS!! I can't say enough great things about Urban Cookhouse. The food is utterly out of this world, and they have incredible options whether you're a meat lover or vegan and gluten-free! Their brisket sliders are so amazing, I got two orders, and their house BBQ sauce is what Nashville is all about! But wait, there's more! The staff are just some of the sweetest, loveliest people you'll find anywhere. They are every bit as much of the winning charm at Urban Cookhouse as the food. Treat yourself!

Jasmine Cano

They have gluten-free options! The bread was big if you’re gluten-free, you know how important it is to have Good big fluffy bread. we’ll go every time in Nashville

M M

Had the most amazing lunch at the Omi Hotel! They had a dedicated fryer for gluten free buffalo wings, tots and fries and gluten free buns for the burgers as well!!

Jack Irwin

Had a very good breakfast here. Service was great and the waitress didn’t hesitate when I asked for gluten free options and recommendations. The gluten free pancake was fantastic and had a nice rise/fluffiness to it. I also had eggs with sausage, hash browns, and a side order of some special bacon. All in all a fantastic meal. A little pricey but the price suited the quality of service and food.

Trevor Knight

Best gluten-free pizza in Nashville. This spot is always buzzing - the vibe is welcoming and fun. Solid wine list and the pizzas are (obviously) the focal point. Lots of delicious options for whatever flavor profile you’re going for. Don’t sleep on the chicken parm either!

Adam Graf

Had the chance to go last Thursday while in town for a wedding and chose to sit at the Chef’s Counter either my girlfriend. Outstanding experience and choice, great service and server was very good about accommodating my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. Even more impressive was the food, some truly just well done dishes. One of the Chef’s, JD, that we met was awesome and helped give recommendations on fan favorites from their new menu. Check out that pork ribeye and s’mores dessert especially, out of this world. Would travel back to Nashville just to have dinner here again!

Jade Novak

I had the pollo con mole, with sweet potato fries and a chopped salad. I enjoyed the colorful, tiny-chopped salad with jicama. And the rotisserie-cooked chicken was delicious with a rich and flavorful mole that had just the right amount of kick. The fries were crisp and well-seasoned. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about gluten-free options, and the interior was well designed. A very nice lunch experience overall!

missmywolf

Amazing food and homemade gluten free bread! I love this place!

Mishawn Greenfield

I love eating here on special occasions. I feel safe eating and know they are being careful

Lady McBabs

Great job of being a safe place for Celiacs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great vibe, and good food. Nachos are super yummy!

Frank Gregg

We go to Ted’s every time we make a trip to Nashville. The bison burgers are always delicious. My wife is gluten intolerant, and they offer a gluten-free bun that is quite good.

Virginia Eason

Not many safe gluten free options. Everything is cross contamination. Shared fryers for all. Even the salad dressings have to be removed from a salad. The GF Pizza crust is NOT 100 percent as it is in the same oven and touches the same surface normal crust. Drinks are good!

Marc Sing

Second location I’ve gone to abc both were great!!! They care and are knowledgeable about celiac which is huge!! Will definitely be back.

Dorothy Smith

Sophie Lennon

Both my boyfriend and I are celiac. We were lucky enough to have Becca as our waitress and she’s also celiac! I got the wagyu sliders modified to not have a bun, but they do have gluten free burger buns for the full size burgers! My boyfriend got the steak salad. Both dishes were delicious. Definitely ask for Becca if you’re celiac and come to eat!

Eric Michaud

This place had great service and very good atmosphere. We were on the patio a group of 12. This is higher end and designed for sharing. The portion sizes were bigger than they said (tri tip easily feed 4 of us). You get what you pay for, it was high quality and great tasting food, and priced accordingly. Also has a great whiskey collection and one of the best gluten free menus.

Serena Rohrer

Our food was outstanding and our server Kristy was sweet as pie. Will return on any trip to Nashville! Good Gluten free options. Canadian tourist approved!

Due West Designer

Gluten Free lemon Blueberry Pancakes and the salted Carmel coffee. Typically I don't eat or drink this much sugar - but it was sooo worth every sip and bite. It's not a quiet atmosphere, waited about 35-40 min for a table which is pretty average for Nashville. Definitely will return.

Alexi James

Jessica was the best server! We waited at the bar for a few minutes while our table was getting cleaned. Dinner was amazing, service was amazing, and we really enjoyed our dessert. Our server, Jessica, was sensitive to my husband’s gluten allergy. She let us know all the menu options that were available to him and all the ones that could be available to him with adjustments. We LOVED The Magi live music group!! We will definitely be back!

Liv Oaxaca

Great for gluten free! Jesse was very helpful.

Waitress was very attentive and made certain that my sister's meal had zero gluten! She advised us that the oil was also used to fry crusted foods (using gluten)! My sister thanked the waitress and assured her that wouldn't be a problem for her. As always, the food was perfectly cooked and delicious!

Rachel Hardisty

Clean and cute place to stop for delicious food, our server Taylor was fantastic lots of good recommendations. We have the crispy chicken sandwich with the mild sauce, the brussel sprouts which were out of this world, the street corn Pizza which is one of the best specialty pizzas we have ever had. We started with the caulipoppers 10/10 they were so crispy perfectly fried they are gluten-free so that's a nice option for our Gluten Sensitive friends. Would highly recommend

Lonny C. Friedman

Haley Richards

First timer here and gluten free. I got Charlie at the register, and he too was gf and was great at recommending what to get and what he liked. Food was great. Came at lunch, super busy, yet the restaurant and tables stayed cleaned and turned quickly for new diners. Sat on the patio in 37 F and it was toasty warm. 10/10 recommend for gf hot chicken! Thanks!

Debra Vasquez

Thanks for the coupon! My cobb salad was a bit pricey. I'm glad you have a gluten-free menu.

Jill Swisher

I appreciate that they had plenty of gluten free options!

Besides the food and margaritas being absolutely amazing, we were in awe of the amazing staff. Our server Jeff was beyond kind, explained the menu to us, helped us with gluten free and nut free options, and had fun with us! Overall experience was 10/10 and will absolutely be going back. If you have a 6+ people the shareable meal option was more than enough food and delicious.

Ann Schwichtenberg

Wonderful breakfast experience. Wanted to try all of it. They also have a gluten-free menu.

Lovell Anderson

Every time I order from Them the order is wrong. This time though takes the cake. So I ordered A Cobb salad and the lettuce looks horrible. But the worst part is my burger. I got a Royal Robin With a turkey patty with fries and the egg over hard on a gluten-free bun because I have a gluten allergy… They didn’t give me a gluten-free bun. They gave me beef instead of turkey, And they gave me salad instead of fries, which is crazy. The wild thing is on the ticket. Everything is correct, but they made the burger wrong. It is Charlotte Pike, so if you know you know. I’m trying to stay classy with this.. but it actually gets worse. I called up there to tell them about the mistake they made, and the first person hangs up on me. I call back then all of a sudden somebody has a very strong Accent . Then they hang up on me when I asked for a manager. I’m at work and I had ordered the food for me and my coworker so she calls up there three times and asked for a manager all three times gets hung up on.

New favorite spot in Nashville! I have gluten, dairy and fish allergies and they were SO helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious (I got the paprika chicken and Avo Hummus with veggies instead of bread), plus the cocktails were out of the world and the wine selection was great. Staff was also amazing, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great vibes for a date or going out with friends!

Bethaney Moore

everything was awesome! our server Emma was so kind and accommodating, especially with being gluten free! great cocktails, great food, great service. get the street corn

Ashlee Cardona

Lisa Mayberry

Many gluten-free options as shared plates, entrée, and dessert. I had a wonderful birthday dinner here with the topper being the gluten-free cherry cheesecake.

Yaminah Mitchell

My late lunch at Etc. was perfection. The ambiance and service were exceptional. As a foodie with severe gluten and corn allergies, I was thrilled that the staff ensured almost any meal could accommodate my dietary restrictions. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I've already told my friends about it and plan to return for dinner soon, as I know it will be fantastic as well. I love dining at places that go the extra mile to ensure my experience is enjoyable. Thank you, Etc.!

I had an exceptional experience at Hattie B’s! The service was top-notch, thanks to Marshall, who was incredibly professional and helpful. He went out of his way to assist me in finding gluten-free options, making my dining experience worry-free. The area was clean and spotless, with staff constantly working to clean up right after someone finished eating. It made for a very pleasant dining environment. The food was amazing! I highly recommend the hot chicken sandwich with a side of mac and cheese—you won’t regret it.
