Delicious food. Great atmosphere, and Service. We were served immediately, they had great music, tvs, and great decor. The chairs were comfortable, I'm gluten free and had an option to make any pizza with a cauliflower crust. Bon appetit!

Benchmark Bicycle Supply Co

Great Italian food and wonderful gluten free options.

Amber Easterling

They do not list gluten-free options on their menu, but a lot of their food is naturally gluten-free. Their bowls and their curry dishes (without naan). I got the lunch special, which was a burger rice bowl! It was amazing! They also offer gluten free buns for their burgers and sandwiches!

Kevin Wanamaker

Great BBQ place on Hilton Head. Many gluten free options with a separate GF menu for anyone with celiacs/allergies. All of the smoked meats are gluten free, and so are most sides (except succotash, Mac and cheese, and green bean casserole). The half chicken was fantastic with coleslaw and potato salad. Service was great and the bar has lots of drink options. Highly recommend eating here.

Came with a group; pre-ordered “grilled fish of the day”. It was fish cakes!!!! Fish cakes are not “grilled” and it was not a piece of fish, as I expected. It was some sort of flaked fish filled with breading and that could have been very dangerous as some people are seriously affected by gluten products. Plus it was not grilled as anticipated. It was sautéed. I thought better of Charlie’s; I was very unhappy with my entree. I would have spoken to the manager but it was a busy day and didn’t want to make a fuss but I have thought about it since my return home and needed to let people know. I felt they took the “cheap” way out. Obviously fish cakes are not the same price point as grilled fish which is what I thought I was getting. The waitstaff did a fine job and the restaurant is as beautiful as ever, all decorated for the holidays. It is not the quality I expected, especially because it was pretty expensive to boot.

Chef is doing original, tasty work at this pleasant spot in Shelter Cove. The shrimp shared plate was a revelation. Half dozen fat local shrimp sat in a creamy sauce, served with fresh mixed greens and slices of toasted baguette. It could be an entree right there. The Chicken in Pesto was an enormous bowl of linguine with a big pile of fresh, grilled chicken breast. The pesto sauce was very rich and creamy and loaded with grilled vegetables. Very impressive dish. Nice wine list, and, like the food, prices are reasonable. The restaurant is handicap accessible, and plenty of ideas for gluten free diners and vegetarians, as well as kids. We ate on the patio, very pretty. Service was friendly and efficient. Hilton Head is busy so plan on making reservations for dinner.

Food was. Excellent. Steaks tender, cooked to specification. Our server took care of my celiac needs. I enjoyed every bite. So nice to have knowledgeable servers and chefs.

Allison Osborne

Great food and service. Staff knowledgeable about gluten free options. We sat outside overlooking the water. Possibly the best meal we had during our visit.

I have dined with CQ's many times over the last 15+ years and never disappointed. It was an early dinner with a 5 year old, so how much atmosphere can a person handle. The restaurant was busy, but it was calm and peaceful, which was good after being in the sun for most of the day. Take away the 5 year old, allow me 30 minutes to throw back 5 shots of tequila, and we have a totally different ballgame. Appetizers consisted of calamari and a shrimp cocktail for me. I have celiac and must adhere to a gluten-free diet. Thanks to all those on a gluten-free diet that is not required. Provides better products and more options, so keep eating gluten-free. Apologies, both of the appetizers were good. The shrimp cocktail was extra special when compared to the one from a few nights earlier while diving at a different restaurant. For some reason, any day that I have spent a long period of time in the sun, I crave a cold wedge salad, and it was on point. The chicken fingers and fries were rated 5 lipsticks, based upon the Barbie scale, which I was unfamiliar with until the rating. I was informed that the filet and potato pancake were excellent. I would estimate that 80% of the time that I select the pork chop. Always cooked perfectly and outstanding. The only issue I personally have is the Bourbon glazed apples listed as part of the dinner. As we all know, bourbon mash is made from corn, wheat, rye, and malted barley. Except for the corn, the other ingredients are not gluten-free. It could be that some people are not impacted, or maybe when the apples are glazed, the ppm drops below the measurement threshold. I have no idea and am highly sensitive, so stay away at all costs. I once read that double distilled scotch is fine for celiac, and though triple distilled should be even better. I will only say that the scotch experiment did not work out so well. Staff is great. Servers are attentive without being overbearing and are knowledgeable of the menu and dietary constraints. Great meal paired with a nice Barolo, and of course, what goes best with chicken tenders? Shirley Temple!! Now that I live a couple of miles away, please order more pork. I shall return soon.

Amber and the wait staff were wonderful. Had the best time for my wedding dinner. Everything was beautiful. The only thing I wish there was more of is gluten-free options. I highly recommend Elas, they made us feel very special.

My girlfriend has a gluten allergy, so it is nice when we find places that really accommodate, New York Pizza doesn't just offer a handful, but over half of their menu can be asked to supply a gluten free varient, pizza, pasta and more. She tried the pizza and it was delicious. I had normal spaghetti and meatballs and it was also delicious. It is a little more pricy but well worth it. Thank you New York City Pizza!

Staff was super familiar with gluten free and dairy free diets, felt super safe eating here. Good food, good drinks, good time

Cheryl George

Great drinks - pretty atmosphere. Lovely to sit outside and listen to pool fountains while you enjoy your drinks. Didn’t get the food but looked good and reasonably priced for hotel food - especially the gluten free pizza.

Leslie Gromis Baker

New York City Pizza never disappoints. Whether we are ordering pizza, wings, subs or one of its fabulous dinner entrees, we know we will be having a fabulous meal. When we have friends over to watch a game or movie, NY City pizza is our go to place for takeout - especially since one our friends is gluten-free. Just as important as the quality of the food, the service is just as high quality.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY I REPEAT DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY We came here with a party of 6; 4 had a gluten allergy, one of which also had a dairy allergy. Our waiter greeted our table, then didn’t come back for 15 minutes. When he came back to take our order, our waiter said point blank “I don’t know what gluten is, whatever you told me to take away I will (i.e. no croutons) and I’ll tell the kitchen.” Our server was very sweet and attentive, just un -informed and poorly trained on allergies. One of the managers was alerted, and when he came over he asked us to confirm our orders. I am not exaggerating when I say he rolled his eyes at us and said “I’ll deal with it.” He then ASKED US who our server was, and when we came with a generic description, he said “was it the old guy?” (High key age discrimination!!) The gluten/dairy free salad came out with the gluten full dressing on the side, which then had to be re-made with the appropriate dressing (please note: the only adjustments were to take off the croutons and to change the dressing to olive oil/vinaigrette). This salad took 20 minutes to come out. When the same manager was informed that there was an issue, he blamed the server and said that “he didn’t say there was an allergy”…buddy you literally came over to confirm our allergies. Then they sent a female manager over, who brought out the correct salad. I informed her of how inappropriate and rude the male manager’s behavior was, and she apologized. Absolutely the worst service we’ve had with an allergy. We’ve been coming to this island for 25 years, and this was our first time at Scott’s Fish Market. We will not be back.
