I am gluten free (allergy), and this was a great place to eat! I got breakfast. The eggs, sausage, toast, hashbrowns, and pancakes were all delicious. And gluten free! Parking and finding the place was a little more difficult since it’s in the skyway and I don’t use the skyway often, but I found it pretty quickly. The server I had was super helpful and very nice. Atmosphere was great as well and the decor is chic. This is a must-try!

A clean convenient location for lunch or dinner with a variety of food options and excellent service. Gluten sensitive and healthier options are available, and we were told they use a dedicated gluten sensitive fryer. We liked the gluten sensitive options so much we forgot to take a picture when we first got them :). Sorry!

4.4 total stars for this great American restaurant. They had issues seating us out of the sun which was frustrating but they eventually were able to accommodate. 5 stars for our server Ephraim! He was so accommodating and knowledgeable about the dietary restrictions. They have many gluten sensitive and plant based/ vegan options and accommodated various requests for us. Lots of variety in the menu so anyone can eat here. 4 stars for the quality of the food it wasn’t outstanding but good. We had the: Blueberry mocktail- nice that they have many alcohol free options but this drink was just okay Gluten free truffle Parmesan fries- very good garlic aioli hit the spot Gluten free rainbow roll- okay Plant based mushroom fettuccini with gluten free pasta and chicken- delicious! Bison burger of gluten free bread- decent, amazing Gf bread GF Cookies and cream cake - excellent I do recommend for a group that needs variety and has dietary restrictions. It’s a nice atmosphere on the casual side.

Love this place! Great menu selection and such a fun place. I had the Cobb Salad take away and it was delicious! You can ask for no bread so it’s gluten free 👌🏼

Only give reviews if places are exceptionally good or bad, and this was the best acai bowl I’ve ever had…and I lived in Brazil! Loved the base flavors (not overly sweet, great consistency, wonderful flavors), the fruit toppings were so fresh, and all the granolas were gluten free. Please open a location in Kalispell Montana!

We had a fantastic dinner at Chester's. One of the best hamburgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife had the wedge salad and she said it was great. Fires were delicious! Even had gluten free key lime pie. Our waiter, Adam was awesome. He learned of my gluten allergy and even came back and said the tater tots I ordered weren't gluten free and offered options. Great job Chester's. Next time we are in Rochester we will be back!

Sam

Always a pleasant experience at Smoak. They offer a variety of quality & affordable BBQ items. All of which are delicious. They even have gluten free options so my wife can enjoy barbecue again. Highly recommended.

My wife and I stopped by for breakfast this morning on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised to have an outstanding experience. My wife suffers from a whole host of food allergies and as a result it is difficult to find a restaurant that can accommodate all of them. Chief among them being gluten (celiacs disease) and cross contamination from gluten. The staff did just that. From the top notch service provided by our waitress (thank you again, Amber B.) to the kitchen staff that prepared our food exactly the way it was ordered including all of our special requests. Our meals were made with top quality ingredients that came thru in both the taste and texture. It is also worth noting, that my wife did not suffer a reaction from any errors made in the preparation of our meals. The whole experience exceeded all of our our expectations. We will definitely be coming back again. To all those that read this, quality service deserves to be rewarded and lauded. Not just with gratuity but also thru reviews such as these.

Love this little place! Staff is ALWAYS courteous and helpful. Vegan donuts are good - love the variety of flavors! They will do gluten free also if you pre-order. Smoothies are good too! Their food looks amazing - will definitely be back to try some!

We Live out of town my wife is celiac. We got 12 “gluten free donuts” My wife ate a donut on are way back to my mothers house she started getting symptoms of ingesting gluten. We spent the rest of our entire Easter alone with a trash can by her and the bathroom ready. If your celiac or have a gluten intolerance. Don’t risk it here.

This place is amazing all around. From the awesome staff, to the colorful and fun atmosphere inside and on the patio. The food and drinks are great, they have options for gluten free and vegetarian. They also have an NA option for tap beer and some yummy juices if you're not in a drinking mood. If you're looking for beer, they have an awesome beer menu with multiple sizes and options, whatever your flavor, they probably have it. They also have some spirits and wine to choose from!! This place has it all!! The cafe is open early for the coffee and breakfast goers!!! 😁

Rosemed Miami

4.7 stars for this delicious lovely gem 💎 The atmosphere is beautiful and on the upscale side. Highly recommend the Grenache rose to go with the oysters which are on the Briney side but great if you like that sort of thing. Asparagus app and beet app are smothered in cheese so not great for my taste but loved by others. Bison meatloaf and scallops were the best dishes. Cabbage rolls were good but the tofu inside is the best part. Pork was also good. The 16 layer crepe cake was amazing as well as the chocolate torte that’s also gluten free which is a big plus. The server was very helpful in determining the gluten free dishes and options. All the staff were kind and helpful. Overall a great restaurant highly recommended!

i ordered a grilled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun for dine in, and was given fried chicken (rest of my order was correct, just the chicken was wrong). when i went up to the counter to ask for what i ordered, i was helped very kindly and quickly, and while i stood waiting for the correct chicken i had multiple other employees stop and ask very kindly if there was anything i needed help with. mistakes happen and they fixed theirs very quickly and professionally :)

Jennifer Schuetz Hadley

Fun, very tasty place for breakfast and lunch and dinner. The Dutch skillet was amazing, as was the blackberry creme muffin. The chocolate chip pannekoeken was more eggy than floury, which was fantastic for me, as I minimize my gluten consumption. Can’t wait to try their Muenster cheese curds, cabbage rolls, and more!

Gluten friendly.

I walked over from the Mayo and asked what their dairy-free, gluten-free options were. They didn't have any. Disappointing because it looked like a lovely spot!

Cosmic Fitness, LLC

Gluten and soy-free diner here! Just enjoyed their veggie omelet (mushrooms, onions & peppers), with a side of andouille sausage, gluten-free toast and a large black coffee. Scrumptious! And Juneau Elizabeth loved the fact that the sausage was diced. Thank you!!

I am gluten free, always a great experience.

So delicious!! 10/10 would come back anytime! We started with pork dumplings and fried tofu. My group is still talking about how mind-blowingly delicious the dumplings were (being gluten intolerant I was not able to partake). The fried tofu comes with a generous serving and was also delicious. The kitchen nailed the slightly crispy exterior and soft interior that makes fried tofu most delicious. We also enjoyed the soju and other drink options. For the meal we had 2 types of Bibimbap, Bulgogi, and Japchae and we all had food left over. We’ve just left but I’m super looking forward to leftovers already. All orders come with complimentary Banchan (small shareable plates), and several entrees include Banchan also. Banchan rotates and depends on what the kitchen has available. The menu has some options for gluten friendly and vegetarian alternatives for specific dishes. I am gluten sensitive and pregnant and the server was very attentive to my dietary restrictions and needs. She made sure the Banchan that came with my meal were options that I could have and asked the kitchen to thoroughly cook the egg that came with my Bibimbap. We were impressed with the level of general noise of the restaurant. There was quiet, pleasant music playing in the background and you could easily hear each other talk without having to raise your voice. We did sit near a side entrance door which left us a bit chilly before our drinks and hot food hit our systems.

Denise Miller

We got a take out order and everything was absolutely delicious. We’re zero gluten and we were easily accommodated. Our food was actually better than many meals we’ve had in the Caribbean.We highly recommended this restaurant!!

Salute wine bar & more is now one of my favorite places to eat in Rochester, Minnesota! My father has Celiacs and I have lots of food allergies! They have a huge gluten free menu and are extremely cautious. Usually gluten free portion sizes are small and expensive not here. They r huge and great prices and are delicious. I usually can't have pasta out of the house because I have a gluten sensitivity not celiacs but I can't eat gluten I am allergic to corn so most gluten free pasta have corn in it so I showed my allergy card and asked her to ask the chef if it was safe for me to eat, she comes back and says chef says you are all good to have pasta we don't do corn pasta because of that allergy it is rice pasta. Needless to say that chef made my day. My dad the one visit had chicken Marcela he said it was very tendar and the mashed potatoes were amazing. My other 3 family members got reubons and these folks are defenitly not typical reubons they are piled high with meat and they all said they tasted amazing. Needless to say if u want amazing food and great service oh and good prices eat here. It's kind of like a hidden gem. P.S. If u r like my Dad and myself and have allergies I definitely recommend eating here neither one of us got cross contaminated and our food we got was delicious.

LOVE the atmosphere here! Always clean and decorated nicely. Food is great! Had the "naked burrito" because I am gluten free. Excellent!

Mary eggermont

Great, interesting salads, all gluten free. I had the Tex Mex bowl. Yummy!

Shari Mukherjee

Almadina is a downtown gem and one of the top restaurants in Rochester. The food is consistently cooked properly and is always absolutely delicious. The owners, Samar and Feras, put a lot of passion into the food they cook and the menu items they present--and the results show. I've never had a bad meal from Almadina and recommend it to all of my friends. The menu is also vegan and gluten-free friendly, so there is something for everyone! Personally, I love the lamb chops, chicken shawarma, tabouli, hummus, and falafel. My kids go crazy for the toum (garlic sauce).

Corey Wondra

Hashbrowns were extremely dry and difficult to eat, almost stale. Was disappointing because I haven't been to Perkins in some time and remember a much better hashbrown. Omelette was good, waitress attempted to assist with my gluten allergy but I was still made sick by my meal which was a meat and potato omelette substituted tots for hashbrowns.

Donna Lawson

Great breakfast! Would be nice to have gluten free bread and sugar free syrup for us on specialty diets. Billy is a wonderful server

John Severs

Excellent food! A wide selection of vegetarian and nonvegetarian tacos (even gluten-free if you choose corn tortilla shells.) They have live music several nights of the week. The restaurant is closed on Monday and Tuesday. It's definitely one of our family favorites!
