Top 10 Gluten-Free Bars to Unwind in Bethesda

This restaurant had been on my list for a while, and I’m glad I finally visited with friends. It’s always packed when I walk by, and now I see why. The hostess and staff, including Partner, who was kind, funny, and brought our wine, made us feel welcome. Our server, Crystal, provided excellent service with helpful recommendations that suited my picky eating. The menu included a few great options for my gluten-free and vegan friends, and the food met all our expectations. The desserts, especially the crème brûlée and pistachio brownie, were outstanding. I look forward to returning to try more seasonal offerings. Thank you, Silver, for a wonderful dining experience!

We’ve been going to Mon Ami Gabi for a few years. The food and service is always great. Everyone is attentive and kind. But lately, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting Braulio and he is the best!!! He remembers us from previous visits, he always greets us with a big smile, and he’s always happy and friendly. He even remembered my gluten allergy. He is wonderful and always makes our visit so much better!!! Thank you for everything!! We’ll see you again soon!!

I tried their birria quesadillas made with corn shells. The meat had great flavor. The birria broth had a touch too much cinnamon for my taste, but it was still good. They were very accommodating with my gluten allergy. The waiter was able to tell me what was gluten-free and what I should avoid. I really appreciate it when the wait staff can answer my questions regarding allergens. It was a busy night. All the tables inside were full. The hostess opened the enclosed patio (with heaters), so I didn't have to wait, which I was totally fine with. Inside was very loud with people talking over the music and other people, so I was grateful to sit on the patio and enjoy my dinner.

This place is such a hidden gem! Great happy hour specials and the bar food is so good! I went here and asked a whole bunch of questions about gluten free options and had great service. The waitress returned to the kitchen many times for me and I settled on crab dip, which was gluten free and delicious. They also do all their burgers without a bun on request and have omission gluten free beers. Only downside is that it's very crowded in the evenings and the bathrooms were a little dirty.

This place is so amazing!!!! The seared scallop salad was gluten free! The BEST!!!

It was a great find! I have a gluten allergy, so I'm always cautious of where and what I order. I'm glad I took a chance on Caddies. The staff is always super friendly. I order the bone-in wings, and they are the best I've had since moving here. I've tried the buffalo wings, and they were not too spicy, which I enjoyed. I've also tried their bbq wings, which are my favorite. I definitely will be back.

I went here on a Saturday right before rush hour seemed to hit. It was not crowded until much later into our meal. I found the seats comfortable and staff friendly and attentive. Beer: This has a much greater range of options that anyplace that isn't a beer specialty restaurant. They also have seasonal and specials (being October there was some pumpkin flavors, gross). They serve in several sizes the largest being 25oz. Which lasted me an entire meal and for only $7.50 I felt I got my moneys worth out of it compared to a cocktail. I recommend knowing what you like or asking for a sample tasting before getting a giant beer. For price and variety of flavors and sizes this was excellent. Food: You'll find the classic American style of options but also some extra options you wouldn't expect. I ended up with a Mac N cheese with chicken and bacon mixed in. This was excellent, and they have a separate gluten free menu. However it should be noted that the menu is "gluten sensitive" and may not be for people with Celiac's. I would inform the server of your allergy to double check they prepare it safely. Serve went very well and I know not everyone will have the same experience. But hopefully the resturant will make amends for your issue. For the few times I've been I found this to be a pleasant experience and a price point to match.
