The best fish and chips.

Came here the 1st day we were in the area and the food was so excellent, outdoor service allowed us to bring our dog, and they were so knowledgeable about celiac disease and gluten-free that they really put my wife's mind at ease that we came back here 3 more times. We ordered different things on the menu each time and for me the Cuban sandwich was excellent. Next time we're back to visit our friends, we'll be coming back here another 4 times.

Great pizza, songs with great tasting gluten free pizza.

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

100/10, absolutely excellent. Especially if you have Celiac and have to be gluten free -- they have GOT YOU. This is one of the largest gluten free menus I've ever been able to order from that wasn't a dedicated GF restaurant. We got the drunken shrimp, chicken risotto, and smores budino, and it was so good! There were five or six GF deserts I could've chosen too, which is unheard of. The gluten free bread alone won me over. It was so incredible, even my husband loved it. The wine is delicious -- we joined the wine club and got the seasonal dragonfruit sangria, as well as the white sangria. Highly recommend!! Bonita at the wine tasting bar took care of us, she has the best personality and laugh, such a joy. 🥰 Give this woman a raise! Also Casey W, our waitress, for the great service and taking care of my GF needs. We had such a great experience, we definitely recommend. Top 3 restaurant in the Tampa/St. Pete/Saraota area for us.

We visited from TN and we can't wait to come back and eat here again. The food is fresh and healthy. So many gluten free options too since my husband has celiac and I am gluten intolerant. The staff are so nice and willing answer any questions you have. Definitely a 10 out of 10 ☺️

I love Simon’s! I’ve been going for years and the food is always amazing! I always go for any vegan specials and the soups are always delicious and unique! I also never leave without a dessert for later! Such a great variety of vegan, gluten free and other items! A huge bonus is that their entire team is incredible! Local- family owned- great options- check them out!

WELL THE YARD HOUSE IS TOP TIER I WILL SAY. GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS ARE AMAZING, THE BARQUE BACON BURGER IS AMAZING HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I THINK IT WAS THE JUICEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD. WOULDVE LIKED A LITTLE BETTER SERVICE BUT THE PLACE IS GREAT. GOOOO TOOOO YARDDD HOUSEEEE

Restaurant right on the water with lots of covered and not-covered seats. You can sit and enjoy all the boats going by. It gets busy so expect a bit of a wait, but you can grab a drink from the bar and wait at the picnic tables by the dock. The staff was super friendly, and the food was good. The Cesar salad with Mahi was ok, not great, but the veggie burger was really tasty. And they have gluten free burger buns.

As much as I love Culver's, recently I've been having a major problem as I have to be gluten-free. They forgot about half of my order like the toppings I've ordered and then they forget the condiments. Their food is delicious though that's why I keep going back

Kevin Amick

Great place to stop when heading home from Venice. Always a great meal and Gluten free bun option.

Beth Bostrom

The staff have been very knowledgeable and helpful with all my Celiac gluten precautions and questions. They have a gluten free bun, so most burgers can be made gluten-free. I prefer to order at the counter register so I can talk to a staff member and clarify preparation process and ingredients. I always have to ask those things in case something has changed, and they are so patient and nice. Seriously, the customer service has been fantastic. There's a shared fryer, so I can't have the fries. And the shacksauce has spices and natural flavors without origin, so I skip that. But the gluten-free bun hasn't fallen apart on me and the burgers are delicious, so that's a win! If you have gluten issues and are craving a quick and yummy burger, I definitely recommend this location of Shake Shack.

Mike Oliver

Was there in mid December 2024, sat outside, waiter was great, had burgers (I am GF, had the swiss mushroom on GF bread, no issue, but I am not celiac), burgere were exceptionally good. Espresso Martini also very good. Will be back!

The CUTEST little breakfast cottage. I just can't say enough good things! Every little detail was just so comforting. From the toy kits handed out to every kid, to the unique salt and pepper shakers on every table, down to the miniature tin watering cans that held your receipt. The vintage feel was just so charming. We arrived at about 9:30 and there were lots of people waiting outside. We assumed the wait would be long, but she said 5 minutes. It was less than 5 minutes and we were already seated with drinks. And our food came out so fast! They have such a quick and organized operation but you don't feel rushed. Ciara was our waitress and although VERY busy, she was so sweet and very attentive to all of her tables. She was very knowledge on the menu and even built me the BEST gluten free french toast since I really wanted the lemon lavender blueberry pancakes but couldn't have the gluten. We noticed she was also bussing her tables! She was really awesome and I feel like she deserves the recognition. We are from Baltimore and we love supporting local. I am so glad we stumbled upon this gem!

While on a road trip we found this awesome place. So I've been on some strange habits lately of only eating out and ordering things I can't get usually. ( a bit strange I know but it's getting me to order outside the box ) I had the Rueben on Rye with potato salad. I would def order that again. Buttery, toasty, flavorful and filling. It could have a bit more meat though. Potato salad was yummy! My partner had the matcha and a muffin. Muffin was sweetened with monk fruit, gluten free, and just the right amount of fluffy/moist. Lastly we got a sausage & egg everything bagel with a slice of tomato and it was good. Everything is fresh to order yet it didn't take long. Although we didn't get to try all the baked goods they have a really hefty selection.

I was surprised how incredible the cocktails were at Jack and Dusty. There were genuine mixologists behind the bar. I tend to gravitate toward speakeasy-style cocktails, I love classics and also variations on them. Their menu is rich in spirit selection and their cocktail menu is thoughtful. When I asked for off-menu rye based drinks like a sazerac or green point they made them beautifully. For their old fashioned’s they used a large clear square ice cube stamped by a brass ice-stamp. While the smoking jacket, a take on the old fashioned with a single barrel Angel’s Envy exclusive to this Ritz-Carleton served in a smoked glass was a bit on the pricey side, $28, for the quality I would go back and spend that again. The food was also good but I can’t comment so much on the quality because I am vegetarian and gluten-free so I just had their butternut squash soup and fall vegetable salad - both good. Oh - the fries were good too! I’ve been to a lot of hotel bars and this one is a gem!

Allergy Friendly Sarasota

I heard the hype. It exceeded expectations. This gluten-free family ate safely and deliciously. The Falafel Rainbow Bowl and the sweet potatoes were mind-blowing. Every item had a different flavor and texture. I cannot wait to go back.

10/18/24 FHS Gluten free bun hiatus is over. They finally have them GF rolls back in stock!!!

Fresh and delicious ingredients. Their sandwich specials of the day are an incredible value. Anything from their menu is delicious and a great pick. Excellent Cuban sandwiches - they also have gluten free bread as an option. Been in business 30 years!

Kendall Chupp

They have a gluten free bun! Great food!

Malin Parker

I really want to like Culver's. They are one of the few places in town that are able offer a burger with a gluten-free bun where my wife knows she won't get sick. Nothing bad about the food, but I just like places where you can "taste the love" that goes into it.

Tanechka

Beautiful little French gem in downtown Sarasota. Large selection of gluten free pastries. Service is great with the beautiful accent. Absolutely loved it.

Michael S

Great place. Have gluten free bread

Jeanie Glass

Friendly staff, clean facility. The orders are accurate. Interesting menu. The Mediterranean Bowl is tasty. Wish they’d add gluten-free breads & bagels & organic fruits & vegetables. Wish they’d show the carb count on their menu. Also this location is the only one in Sarasota that u cannot order from your table. How come?

Natalia Vorobyeva

Best pizza I’ve ever had!! The place welcomes you with cozy atmosphere and attentive service only adds to the experience. I’ve had pepperoni jalapeño and it left me absolutely speechless: perfect combination of home-made red sauce, high quality cheese blend, and other ingredients. Highly recommend to add a Greek salad to your order, they also have plenty of other vegetarian and gluten free options. Definitely will be back many more times with my friends and family!

We have to have specially-prepared gluten free subs. We were taken care of promptly. The subs were made in a special area. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. They don't even charge extra $$ for gf buns! We've found a new favorite place for a quick lunch!

Mayesha Sahir Mim

Loved the pizzas and the crust was the best (packages say extra-gluten!). Seafood pizza was interesting. The owner was super hospitable.

Gina

Love that I can get a sandwich with Gluten-free bread! So delicious!

Rachael Ridings

My boyfriend and I get smoothies here occasionally and as far as my experiences have gone they are always good! Our most recent visit we were greeted by Nybree who was very nice and welcoming (we felt as if he deserved a friendly shoutout)! our smoothies are always made in a timely manner and taste delicious! During our most recent visit I noticed they updated/accommodated their menu so almost every smoothie can be made gluten free which I genuinely appreciate!!

Heather Sullivan

First time at this location. As someone with a gluten allergy Sawyer let us know all of the precautions they take to avoid cross contamination and made a great sandwich for me. We were very happy with having someone go above and beyond and have that level of awareness and patience in serving gluten free at a sub shop. We’ll be back soon!
