The safest place to eat gluten free in northern NJ

I have celiac disease and this place was great! I chose it because of that, but they had a whole gluten free menu. I haven’t had fried food in a long time, but they have a dedicated fryer and the mozerella sticks are great! Highly recommend.

Isabella Buckman

As someone with a gluten allergy, I love eating at Barrio! The team is so knowledgeable about dietary restrictions — I feel like there’s something for everyone here, so it’s a great place to bring a big group.

We used to like this place, but the service has been going downhill, and today set it over the top. We tried to order food for Mother’s Day for my mom who can’t eat gluten. This place is mentioned on Google for having accommodating foods for gluten free eaters. We ordered food and spent over $150, which they collected when we placed the order. My mom ordered a gluten free pizza to accommodate her dietary needs - which was the whole reason for eating here . When my dad went to pick up the food, they gave us the food without the pizza without mentioning it at all. When my dad left the restaurant, he realized they didn’t give him the pizza. He went back to get the pizza, nbd. When he went back inside to ask, they said that they don’t have gluten free pizzas left. NO ONE CALLED US TO INFORM US. To be so lazy to just ignore the fact that you don’t have someone’s order and then to not inform the people is unbelievable. They just tried to not give us our pizza WITHOUT TELLING US WHEN WE SPENT OVER $150. We literally wouldn’t have gone here if we knew because of my mom’s dietary restrictions as the meal was supposed to be for her. The restaurant was careless, lazy, and sneaky, and we won’t be coming back. What a shame. We’ve never had any issues at the bridgewater location.

Dana Lashendock

The food and service here are excellent! They have such an amazing gluten free menu also! Love this place!

Everything was 100% gluten free even the fries. Burger was juicy and tender and sweet potato fries were done to perfection. Thank you for a great meal!

Lisa Miller

Love love love our delicious chicken Marsala Gluten Free!!!!! Thank you shout out to Chef Johnny and takeout team! Delicious delicious delicious food!!! ❤️❤️❤️Friendly take out counter service too! Happy New Year! 🥳🎉🌟🎊

Katelyn Clark

First time at bare burger and it was phenomenal. I am gluten free and have never gotten to order gf breaded chicken in a restaurant. It was fantastic!

Tom Mazza

Great assortment of exquisite Italian fare with plenty of gluten-free options. Not overly priced with huge portions.

Kayla Kiby

Very kid friendly, such kind employees and our waitress was beyond caring. They have gluten free options and they taste just as delicious. We got the chips and guacamole and the chips are gluten free. We ordered our meal and the food was done entirely in just about ten minutes and the food was delivered by a waitress who was just as kind as our own. On a Saturday night we got a table right away and we did not have to wait for a table for three, and the environment is very homey. In addition it’s located right next to the beach so it’s worth going to. They have tvs and the windows are open, and the Phillies were on the tvs. This is a good family friendly place to visit for a good meal.

Jhon Pineda

Bareburger has a variety of options for people with dietary restrictions, like gluten-free buns and vegan patties. A great choice for anyone with specific needs. My wife has celiac and Ashley, our server, made sure everything was safe and helped us understand the allergy chart they provide.

Christina N

One of my favorite places in Hoboken- I still can’t believe we can get gluten free calamari here!! Love love love the food, I’m usually paralyzed with the number of gf options, including flatbread, pastas, appetizers, and of course, great wine. My eyes are usually bigger than my stomach when we come here… what a first world problem to have. Highly recommend.

The food was good, the waiter was nice but,.... Food was served without utensils or napkins. I ordered a gluten free dish and it came with Italian bread placed on top. The extra dishes to share the appetizers were dirty. All this was discussed with the manager who was nice and accommodating.

Mike Beagan

It was my fiancée and I’s first time at 618 and we were both absolutely blown away. It was like no other dining experience we’ve ever had. The food was incredible, our server Rick was so friendly and accommodating of my fiancées celiac allergy. I couldn’t say enough great things about our experience, we will definitely be back!

Kayla Ingold

Pretty good, just wish there had been more training on the gluten free menu for the waitress. Ended up using the online menu to order.

Lori Dalzell

Red Robin has great food! They are super careful with gluten free for celiacs! DOMINIC and Elizabeth are the best!

Caroline Ketcham

We love Vocano!! One of the only places where you have abundant options for gluten free.

Mom23

Very nice atmosphere. They have a pretty good gluten free menu which is perfect for my daughter and I. The food always tastes very good. The prices, as everywhere, is the only thing I can say why I need to delete a star on my review. More gluten free entree options would be nice. Very good overall.

I have uncontrollable ice powers like Elsafire from the full fortresses (severe asperger's, it feels like that). I went here with my maternal grandfather for Father's Day and it was a very nice dinner and the food was delicious! I had an ice cream that was gluten and dairy free and a delicious freshly squeezed lemonade as well as some nice lemon water and a goat cheese pizza. The only thing I didn't like was there was no family restroom for him to wait right outside my door and hold it shut so please consider adding a family restroom to accommodate certain people's needs but luckily other people were at the dinner my mother and my maternal aunt were there to do that but please do create a family restroom for those who have special needs because a woman can't go in a men's bathroom with her grandson with ice powers and a man can't go in a women's bathroom with his granddaughter with ice powers. 😞 My ice powers are a special need and they need that specific accommodation. My cousin was adorably sharing her dairy ice cream with me. The food is really good here and I really enjoy it at Red Bank. I highly recommend Pazzo because the food is very tasty and they have a beautiful screened in lanai and I LOVE eating here!! I will be coming back here with my maternal grandfather next time I visit him!! Grandpa enjoyed his food as well. 💜 I loved the ice cream and food here was delicious. You should move to Dunedin, Florida. I think that would be very nice. 💜

Writing this review specifically for our server Madalina. My husband has soy and wheat/gluten allergies and as you can imagine it’s typically difficult to find him suitable food when we go out to eat. Madalina not only researched the specific questions he had, she was super proactive in researching on her own what he could and could not eat. We both agreed she was the most attentive server we’ve ever had and we truly appreciate her! (also, I’ve eaten here multiple times and it never disappoints!)

michal leshem

Love the food and a lot of gluten free options!

James Teller

Great gluten free pizza

Nick Minikel

Great service and gluten friendly menu!

Derek Lux

Love this place! I’m gluten free so their menu is super accommodating! I just wished they delivered so I could order more often!

Izabella Pereira

The food was just delicious! And our server was very helpful with my gluten allergy! Would definitely come here again! Unfortunately, I left my leftovers on the table. I’m so sad. I’m missing out on a second meal.

Craig Young

This place was amazing and very accommodating to our dietary allergies! Two in our party have allergies to gluten (Celiac’s Disease), dairy, and tree nuts. A special shoutout to Al for going above and beyond for us! 10/10 would definitely recommend

Christina Chedid

I'm surprised I liked it. Went here once for a book club meeting; we sat upstairs and I did not order anything. The others ordered what looked like tasty, greasy, cheesy, fatty bar food. (I think it was the patatas I saw and was on the fence about trying. It looked like it was too much, but they liked it). Came back another time and tried a hot dog - it was pretty good, I like the gluten free bun option and that you can make your own. Very casual, odd location, but there is some parking. I'm not a hot dog aficionado, I've probably only ever eaten one out at a food venue in NJ two other times: 1, at point pleasant beach, at that yellow stand in the middle of the boardwalk, where they have the best boardwalk fries - and the hot dog there is a footlong and we tried it once and split it 3 ways, but I had to eat it without the bun. And it was good. 2, the cider mill near hacklebarney state park, where the hot dogs and sauerkraut are cooked in the cider or something like that. Also ate it without the bun, and I do like it and try to get there once a year or once every two years. Sometimes, it's those mediocre, just okay experiences that you may come back for, and it'll hit the spot. I feel like I should add the health warning: hot dogs are not brain food and may take years off of your life ("Eating a hot dog takes away 36 minutes of healthy life"). Everything in moderation.

I absolutely love everything about this place. The food is incredible, especially if you have celiac disease - their fried calamari is better than most places and it's gluten free! They have a lot of other GF options that are hard to find elsewhere. I've eaten here three times and every host, waiter, and bartender has been incredibly professional, accommodating, and happy to help. The whole staff actually seems like they were professionally trained - a novel idea in 2024. It's also physically beautiful - colonial farmhouse look with some twists here and there. I love this place so much that I have it booked for my wedding next year.

Brianne Giordano

I felt comfortable coming to BJs because they advertise items that are specifically gluten sensitive on their menu. I ordered a salad off of the “gluten sensitive” menu. It came with croutons on it (gluten). I let our waiter know I had celiac disease, which is a severe allergy to gluten, and asked if they could remake it without croutons. 5 minutes later they proceeded to bring out what was clearly the same salad because there were croutons still in it and breadcrumbs all over where they had picked off the croutons. Not cool. I hate being a jerk but allergies are a serious thing. If you can’t accommodate them, please don’t advertise that you do. People can get very sick from this.

John Slusarski

Myself and my fiancée always love going here! James our server was wonderful in making sure if we needed anything as well double checking our order since my fiancée has celiac. The backyard BBQ pork burger was great as well as the rest our food!!

Kimberly Rivera

A Dining Experience Worth Every Mile… We can’t say enough good things about Maggiano’s in Cherry Hill, and it’s all thanks to the outstanding team led by the incredible server Allysia and manager Carla. We drive over 90 minutes to dine here because the service, attention to detail, and warmth make it feel like a second home. Allysia is a true gem. She goes above and beyond every single visit, ensuring our experience is not only enjoyable but memorable. She takes meticulous care of our son’s severe celiac allergy, which gives us the peace of mind that is so rare to find when dining out. She always engages with our rambunctious 3- and 6-year-olds, remembering us by name and making them feel like the stars of the show. This is more than just a restaurant to us. We’ve celebrated milestones here, like my husband completing 45 rounds of radiation, and even shared a comforting meal after a family wake. Allysia and Carla went out of their way to make those moments extra special, showing us what hospitality truly means. The food is impeccable. We especially loved the Parmesan-crusted cod and are heartbroken it’s no longer on the menu—please bring it back, Maggiano’s! The ambience is warm and inviting, perfectly complementing the phenomenal service. This location is unmatched when it comes to making guests feel valued. Allysia, with her genuine care and attention, is a rare find, and Carla’s leadership shines through in every aspect of the restaurant. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you Maggiano’s!

Holly Schureman

Great help with gluten and dairy allergies. Knowledgeable. Service was great and quick!

Theresa Miller

Their gluten free menu is absolutely amazing!

sara pickle

is on the upscale end, but a touch pricier than expected. unfortunately did not enjoy my main course, which i thought would've been good bc it was fish, but we were pleased with the apps, desert, & drinks. (fries were meh.) happy that the menu offered healthy options & had clearly marked gluten free items, but wish the specials were announced if were gf or not bc i strongly dislike asking. (ofc i prefer not having to announce my diet in front of everyone)

Christina Chedid

We shared the cheeseburger and creek burger - they are pretty good, cooked about right (maybe a little more well done than we ordered), and have a little different taste than a regular beef burger. The chuck is supposed to have more flavor than beef. Loved that there was a gluten free bun option - I only tried the bottom half of the bun and it was soft, had already soaked up the meat juice. The jam and aioli on the creek burger were tasty, even though I'm not usually a fan of bacon anything, but I do love the traditional ketchup accompaniment more. The fries are not my favorite style, I would pass on these carbs. The burgers are on the expensive side, $25 or $30. Not sure I would go out of my way to try again for a burger, because I think a burger is usually only as good as the fries that come with it, but it is a solid choice.

Carly

Don’t eat here if you have celiac disease. Alerted my server of my gluten allergy and he insisted they had a gluten free fryer. 30 minutes later I was already having a severe reaction. Shame because their menu is labeled all over as GF, but I would not recommend if you are sensitive to cross contamination.

Valerie Pressley

I have the immense pleasure of meeting at this restaurant every Thursday for my Rotary club meeting. They take our orders in advance and always have the food for us right on time. The entrees and appetizers are yummy and make the meetings that much more pleasurable. They accommodate gluten sensitivity, which is important to me.

Lawrence Rosof

On the positive side, their gluten free crust and margarita pizza is really good . Wasn't sure if the mozzarella was fresh mozzarella as advertised but either way it was good. Service was good and the ambience is nice, upscale industrial bar. My issue is $30 for a medium pizza is just ridiculous . Like seriously outrageous . Medium pizza , soda and tip $44 ! 🤦‍♂️ Receipt below. It's too bad it was my first time here and I live a block away . Won't be back for pizza ever. Napolis's is $19 for their gluten free margarita with mushroom and pepperoni , blaze is $12 .

Elizabeth Cheung

The best ever - great sports bar also

Dolores Caroll

GF items on the menu

Trish L

Absolutely amazing as usual. Can you please offer gluten free bread for this location.

Jennifer Fincher

Great selection of gluten free items included clamp chowder. Waiter was busy and had a lot of tables. Food was hot and delicious

Eileen R

Gluten-free pasta options! Yay! My pasta dish was served hot out of the pan and delicious... very impressive! The server was nice and attentive, but not intrusive, and the management was also attentive. It was very clean, updated, and beautiful... very nice atmosphere.

Christine Janitz

Always great food a d can accommodate gluten free and vegan!!!

Connor DeVries

I will say that while the food isn’t always perfect and the lighting needs some help, service is usually great and they are accommodating for my wife’s celiac disease. She can eat GF here and never has symptoms of her food being contaminated. That deserves a 5 star especially for a chain. My favorite is the scorpion burger for that extra kick and flavor!

Dana Livelli

Awful experience. Manager was rude and incompetent. Server and cooks are incompetent. Never coming back. Avoid this place - especially celiacs.
