Delicious gluten free eats and amazing coffee, atmosphere, and workers!

Lynn Sanguedolce

This is a fun place to go with great gluten free options for Italian food. My server had celiac disease and was very knowledgeable. I have been here a few times and not had any problems here.

April Sallan

Awesome sweets! I had a friend who was in the area and she found this place. I asked her to bring the lemon pound cake, oatmeal cookies and apple muffin. Everything tasted awesome. Look forward to ordering some things in the future! Thanks!

Dan Sheehan

This is a great spot for food allergies. My wife had a fried chicken sandwich which was gluten free and she was in heaven. I had their signature black bean burger and the jalapeno jam was very tasty.

Brandon Goings

Absolutely the best for those with Celiac disease!!

English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

This place is awesome! the gluten free bolognese is incredible and they made a dairy free substitution for my allergies!!

Mary Claire Barnes

Ask for the GF pita bread!

Charles C. Craichy

GF DF Gluten Free and dairy free chicken sandwhich is AWESOME. I love it and I’m so glad to be able to enjoy something like that at a restaurant. Thank you!

Kay Somers

Great gluten free food at a reasonable price!

Dani Dire

Hands down my favorite place for gluten free pizza! They are very accommodating to gluten free customers. Not only do they have gluten free pizza crust but they also have vegan cheese 😍 They have specific pizzas that can be prepared certified gluten free as shown on the menu. Some ingredients vary by location so be sure to double check. Sometimes I venture out and build my own pizza but I always verify which ingredients are safe. They also have individually wrapped gluten free brownies for dessert!

Gijs Aarden

Great selection, fresh bread (organic) and friendly staff. There are many gluten free options. It was a little pricey, but you get a nice meal for it!

Shaun Provost

Their head chef is actually celiac, so very knowledgeable! The food is delicious and the atmosphere here is unmatched. As long as you share your allergies, they are very accommodating and knowledgeable in how to keep you safe!

Carly Anne

Wowza!! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious these gluten free deserts were. I stumbled upon this place by happenstance and since I’m gluten free decided to try the brownie, pecan pie and gingerbread cookie. I’m use to gluten free deserts having a slightly odd flavor or grainy texture so I was expecting this from what I purchased. Boy was I wrong!! Everything taste divine and the textures were on par!! Again, I was so pleasantly surprised that I had to write this review right away. Can’t wait to come back and try new things 😁

Marie Schwirten

Amazing gluten free baked goods, multiple options!

Diane Eblin

GF hash brown waffles and buckwheat crepes. Yum

Amber Easterling

Lots of gluten free options that are listed on the menu. They also offer gluten free buns for any burgers or sandwiches!

Ian Greenleaf

Y'all are really blessed to have such great food. I had a biscuit with fried chicken gravy, and it was simply incredible. The best biscuit and gravy I've had in... some years lol. I was also able to pick up a gluten-free/vegan biscuit for my friend, which is just lovely. If I'm ever back in town, I'll be stopping by again :)

Nathan Childs

If you want some great gluten free cupcakes stop by!!!

Marci Huntsman

Wonderful breakfast food, amazing gluten-free waffle

Dhruti Dave

This was the best experience for burgers fot anyone with gluten free preferences.

Barbara Gulten

We had salads and pizzas delivered for our large group one night. They were fast and efficient. Salads were fresh and delicious (Greek salad). The pizzas satisfied our cravings and went perfectly with the wine we had at home. Solid crust and ingredients. We had a guest that was gluten free and she was able to pick her option and enjoy a great pizza alongside everybody.

Sue & Troy Griepentrog

Perfect place to eat if you're gluten free!!

John Yates

I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

Yikes. Don’t even know where to start. Long story short - don’t come here. We waited over an hour and a half for our food and after that we walked out. Never typically leave reviews for restaurants but this was an exception because it was so bad. I mean the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. We kept getting different excuses from the waiter and the manager. At one point it was that “gluten free pizza takes longer” (which has never been a hold up in the past at Mellow), another time it was “the kitchen made your orders wrong,” and the third time it was “the kitchen lost your ticket and your order hasn’t been made.” After over an hour and a half of waiting and the server asking us our order again and getting the order wrong on the ticket, we decided to leave. Manager and waiter never seemed to care that we had been waiting over an hour and a half, there was no sympathy or apologies, and they were rude. Exceptionally bad customer service. Other tables were waiting for their food and the food pick up section had a large amount of people waiting a long time too. So don’t count on pick up being timely either. Understand delays can happen because of staff shortage and busy hours, but the restaurant was half empty and tons of servers standing around. None of our group will be coming back. Highly recommend you don’t go here or if you really want Mellow Mushroom to visit the Cary or Durham location.

Great spot if you’re gluten free! We ordered take out and when I talked to them on the phone about celiac they were very knowledgeable and accommodating! Lots of options! I had a gluten free grilled chicken sandwich and a house salad. The gf bun was great and the grilled chicken was also very good! My (gluten eating) boyfriend got the cheese steak sandwich and enjoyed it (he’s from Philly)

Kay Somers

Good burgers and fries! The food tasted pretty good, I’d say the prices are a bit outrageous for what it is though.

SB

My husband, two kids, and I dined out for brunch on Easter morning. They had so many yummy gluten free options! I wish they carried GF pure organic maple syrup though as I am allergic to blueberries!

Allison Battle

They have great gluten free and vegan options. Servers were very helpful when I forgot to order gluten free bun. Deviled eggs were a little spicy, which we enjoyed. Onion rings were yummy. Overall it is a good local burger place.

Jeff and Pam Terrell

Excellent selection of gluten-free food! Everything tasted amazing

Amber Easterling

The best place for GF eats!! Everything on the menu can be made gluten-free except for the mac & cheese! The owner’s daughter is gluten-free, so she wanted to make a place where everyone felt safe eating! Fried chicken tenders, fried flounder, barbecue, hot dogs, fried pickles, fried okra! Cake! They have it all! Separate prep area and fryers!

Margaret Frantz

I’m a frequent flyer here and the food and staff are AMAZING. I have celiac and they take allergen precautions very seriously and it is greatly appreciated.

Susan Rodriguez

I’m a vegetarian, and the main menu has almost no meat-free dishes—but Winston’s actually is vegetarian friendly as long as you say something to the waiter. They have a complete alternative menu available: the front lists vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the back has gluten-free dishes. I can’t speak to the gluten-free options, but the vegan and vegetarian choices are excellent!

Stephanie DuVall

Our waitress was Kate and she was fantastic! She recommended the fried chicken which we got in two different dishes and it was delicious (and gluten free). The Biscuit French was absolutely amazing - sweet, soft, and topped with homemade whipped cream. Best meal we had in Asheville (actually by a long shot).

Tesha Gulati

Great gluten free and vegetarian options

Yanni Bistro is truly a hidden gem in Matthews, NC. I’ve been here a few times before and always loved their food—especially the salads, which are consistently fresh and flavorful. And let’s not forget the gingersnaps. It seems like every time I visit, they’re generously offering complimentary gingersnaps. Today, I stopped in on a whim during my day off and ordered a lavender latte with almond milk and a gluten-free BLT. I decided to sit outside, soaking in the minimalist decor and letting the sound of birdsong become the soundtrack to my morning. Then something unexpected and lovely happened—the owner brought my BLT out to me personally and struck up a conversation. What started as a quick meal turned into a 30-minute, soul-filling talk about food, wellness, and the importance of clean ingredients. I learned that everything on the menu is sourced locally from the farmers market next door, and I could genuinely feel his passion and care behind every bite. Yanni Bistro gets 10 out of 5 stars for their incredible customer service, peaceful atmosphere, and commitment to healthy, locally-sourced ingredients. They also offer fantastic gluten-free and vegan options, which is a huge plus. If you’re in the area—go. Take yourself on a breakfast date. You might just leave with more than a full belly.

Krystal Aubry

Really nice outdoor seating space, and the crab cake sandwich I had was fantastic. What I appreciated most is when I had questions about ingredients in some of the dishes, the cook came out and talked to me and made sure I ordered something completely gluten free. We'll be back there again next year!

Robin Pita

The Crown Restaurant Brasstown is a true gem. The restaurant was recommended to us by an acquaintance and it did not disappoint. It is a quaint restaurant with amazing views, food and service. My husband and I have found our new favorite restaurant. I’m Celiac and can’t have gluten, dairy or egg. The whole restaurant is gluten free and have many vegan options as well. It is really hard for me to find “safe” places to eat. The food was AMAZING!!! Megan was our server and by the end of the evening we felt as if we had a new friend. She was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Megan even wrote down the name of a cookbook for me to try with gluten free and vegan options. Try out The Crown Restaurant! Trust me, it will be your new favorite place too! Also, make sure to ask for Megan and you will have great service and you’ll make a new friend!

Gluten free pizza was delicious.

Randy Earl

This was my first visit to Bad Daddy's. I have Celiac disease, so gluten free options are extremely important to me, and it's a real treat for me to have a proper burger-in-a-bun rather than a lettuce wrap, even if it is a GF bun (they tend to fall apart without gluten to hold them together; no fault of the restaurant). My burger was delicious; I'll definitely come back when I need a burger fix. However, my review is mixed because I found the ambience lacking - the music was loud and of what I considered to be an obnoxious selection (personal taste, I know, but hey, it's my review). Also my menu was dirty, which was a real turn-off. A few customer-focused tweaks and it could be a five-star experience for me, but currently it's not.

Alison Salo

A true bright spot for those with Celiac Disease! Food and experience made our trip.

Teresa Mohr

I got a gluten-free biscuit and ham sandwich. The biscuit was wonderful, but my ham was very fatty. My daughters got the biscuit and gravy and really enjoyed it.

Amanda's Quest

Burger was just adequate. Tomato was underripe. Bun was dry. Service/ friendliness was absent. They don’t ask for tips that may be why. Fries were good. I had a gluten allergic reaction after 30 minutes even though it’s reportedly a dedicated frier. Parking in the area is a nightmare… we wouldn’t come back.

A P M

I was very pleased with the gluten friendly menu. Dessert options were great. Malachi was great at knowing all the dessert options. My food came exactly how I ordered. Oh and the Italian Moscato was delish.

SK

Splash did an amazing job setting up a private table to celebrate this couples engagement on the beach. The service was wonderful, the manager attentive and the food was amazing. They are able to accommodate gluten free & dairy free diet needs seamlessly. Appreciate everything that was done for our celebration!

Tracie Lane

The best grits and eggs I've had in years. I also loved the gluten-free waffle. But what I loved most is the premise behind this place.

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free on a separate surface. They also have a full bar. Perfect for brunch! 3 Charlotte locations! We got the Pineapple upside down pancakes and the Spuds Deluxe!

Morgan Smith

Amazing for people with celiac disease!!! They have separate prep areas so no risk for cross contamination, and the food is so good it makes you question if it’s gluten free. Best gluten free food on the beach!!!!!

Stephen Hamby

A great place that is easy to eat vegan and gluten free. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

Dave Gold

Great food and service beyond the call of duty! I called to check out gluten free options and spoke with Chris, the GM and chef,. When I told him my wife's favority was eggplant parm he took some eggplant out of the fridge and ensured that we had a custom made gluten free eggplant parm when we arrived and ordered, Food was terrific, prices reasonable and service stellar
