This is a family owned and operated eatery. SHANNON is very proud to be working here and supporting this endeavor. She's is not part of the family that owns this. Based on Countryside Mall, they offer breakfast and all entrees all day long. Gluten free dedicated grill and waffle iron! I opted to try Bacon Super Slaw at the place with Bacon in the name. Great hot tea that I chose over an array of cocktails and 4 beers on tap. Yes I passed on the signature Bacon Mary at 830am Bacon Slaw Salad is crunchy with just enough bacon and sprinkled not swimming in a light sauce. Gluten free options are noted on menu Several TVs line the bar and corners of the main with bar height stools and accessible tables. Another more secluded room offers accessible table as does stood and umbrella covers outdoor area with accessible tables. Accessible restrooms with grab bars Van accessible parking in free parking lot with accessible entry with push door directly to parking lot and a door to mall access They are open every day at 8am before mall opens

Very nice breakfast place! Not as fast food like others. Very good food! No run-of-the-mill menu. Gluten-free pancakes on offer and made with a lot of love. The skinny omelette was also absolutely delicious. Very friendly service.

Jane Dean

My wife loves ABE because they have lots of gluten free choices and a creative breakfast menu.

Heidi Vieira

Had the gluten-free Chicken Mandalay. I really liked it. The service was great and the atmosphere was worthy of calling it a romantic date. Go ahead and go!

Antonio Souchet

Wonderful atmosphere for families and even business launches with lots of gluten free options

Daniel Smithurst

I would give more than five stars if I could! So glad my friend recommended Joseph's tea room. Not only did they have vegan and gluten-free options, but the ambiance transports you into another world. Every little detail has been tended to at this small business, local establishment ran by a family. They also host special events (think: Bridgerton parties) so feel free to reach out whether you need an afternoon tea party getaway, or are looking for something more formal with a group. (The salad was so delicious it was gone before I remembered to take a photo... Oops!) Stop by, you won't regret it!

We enjoyed a delicious meal that was safe for my two very sensitive celiac kids. The wait staff is well versed in what is safe and not! I 100% recommend eating here!

Shannon Kratz

Absolutely love this place. It never disappoints. The food is spectacular. They were very accommodating of my food allergies, they even have a gluten free menu. Can't wait to go back.

If I could give 0 stars for the behavior of the owner of this establishment, I would. Please see the attached conversation below if you feel like a good read. I have recently wrote a Yelp review stating my experience. I stated that the food was good, service was good and the atmosphere was good. I specifically noted that I don't mind paying and typically type at least 25%, so the price WAS NOT an issue when leaving this review. I simply stated that my biggest concern was in our party of 6 we had a person who requires gluten free options. Because of this requirement we do check the menu prior to going out. They advertised gluten free options but after ordering drinks she placed her order and they really aren't gluten free and there is a potential for cross contamination. (We have been to several places that can provide her with comfort that they will not cross contaminate.) I also stated that it does feel like they nickel and dime you. When leaving a review I try to tell people what I would have liked to know BEFORE dining there so they know what to expect. This "high class restaurant" charges a 4% credit card charge, provides 12 oz cans with no free refills and does not allow you to upcharge for a different side if you don't prefer chips or fries, you have to pay for the side a la cart. These are simply things I would have liked to know upfront. Aside from the concern for cross contamination, we most likely would have still eaten there and I would have still provided a 5-star review. As a passerby was walking, they inquired if they should eat there and I told them the food was good and they should give it a try. I said that I would still recommend it, but I wouldn't strongly recommend it. The owner responded to me insulting my intelligence, called me cheap (Thinking I wanted a "discounted" side (not what I was saying)), a Karen, telling me that my negative opinion doesn't matter and that my parents didn't teach me well because if I don't have anything nice to say I shouldn't speak. After this interaction I did some research and reviews from previous employees say a lot about this person which I experienced first hand. The reviews on indeed state that he watches cameras from home 24/7 and calls managers to nitpick the staff and the environment is toxic and a previous employee states that the food is overpriced for tourists. I have placed the exchange in the photos.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to our waiter tonight. First time going out and having to be gluten free. Thank you for your assistance and gluten-free menu. The food was amazing and your patience and help was amazing.

Just Jules

Every time I come the service is good and I like that they have gluten free bread available. The last time I came I was with my mother who ordered the blue crab and shrimp burger 10/10 shes says, lots of flavor and a perfect serving size for lunch. I ordered the Grillsmith burger, cooked how I like it served with the gluten free bread. We both made substitutions to our orders and the kitchen had no problem accommodating our picky needs! We will be back! 😋

Jovie is the freaking bomb! Great attitude, great server. The food was great. Gluten-free options are fair, and the salsa was off the chain. Will be coming back again had great drinks as well.

clydeknightwind

This should be an easy fix that never had should have been an issue. If you are offering gluten free buns, you MUST toast the insides well. They fall apart otherwise and just are unpleasant

Paul Gasner

Upscale vibe and great food! They even have Gluten free bread!!! Love this place for a nice dinner out, anniversary or fun group get together.

Thomas Greaves

The fruit crepes were amazing. Little disappointed it didn't come with cream cheese, but the waitress was kind and added cream cheese. My wife had their gluten-free strawberry cream cheese pancakes and absolutely loved them. Absolutely recommend coming here.

Kathryn Janicek

I’ve been coming here for 15 years. Service is always extraordinary. Do not be overwhelmed if you have food allergies. They now have a food allergy menu and there are a ton of gluten and dairy free options. Eat here! (I prefer the outdoor seating on the harbor.)

Misty Patterson

I have celiac disease and was skeptical about ordering from here. I called the store and spoke with Mason the manager to let him know about my order before placing. He has personally taken it upon himself to handle every one of my orders. His thoroughness, attention to detail, his responsiveness and the way he goes above and beyond will definitely keep me a customer for life. I can't say enough about Mason and his team in clearwater! 5 stars!!!

Anna Higgins

If you have celiac or a gluten allergy make sure to be extremely cautious when eating here. I ordered the gluten free tacos with corn tortillas and I was given flour. After noticing they didn’t look like corn I asked the waitress and she assured me they were…. upon taking a bite I knew they were definitely flour so I called her back over and said they are definitely flour. They did quickly make me new ones however there was no apology or free drink or anything. I’m extremely disappointed as I was sick and throwing up due to my allergy.

I had an appointment at Morton Plant hospital in the morning, I googled breakfast place near me, found Wildflower cafe so I came for the first time it was small cute place. I was seated quickly, but it was busy and a little loud, I was greeted a min after by a very lovely waitress who was absolutely awesome! I received my oj, tasted fresh no pulp, I was happy, I ordered the gluten free deep dish vegetable quiche came with side of fruit, it was delicious! However I did think for the price I had paid for the portion seemed a little to be desired?! I thought for $15 dollars I would have expected two pieces or one large piece of quiche ?! After I left I was hungry an hour later. I would have preferred a bigger portion instead of insulting me thinking 🤔 (go on a diet, stupid). Food was really good, tasted fresh, but for the quantity, wasn’t worth the price tag.

Lisa McGinnis

So deceiving! This gluten friendly viby spot looks like a dive bar from the outside but it’s so not! The service was AMAZING and they accommodated our gluten sensitivity and made us the most amazing cinnamon waffles. Upscale drinks and DELICIOUS brunch. Don’t sleep on this restaurant/bar;)

Jeremiah Harris

The museum was cool and the food was delicious. All of the burgers are huge, and they have gluten-free items as well. Gluten-free pizza was one of the best I've ever had at a restaurant.

If you have a gluten allergy, DO NOT eat here. Even if you order gluten free bread, they will give you regular bread. I made a takeout order that explicitly stated gluten free toast, but was given regular toast. I called about 2 bites into it and they confirmed that the bread I was given wasn't gluten free. Then they tried to tell me it was my fault because I didn't mark off having a gluten allergy. It's reasonable to expect that I would be given gluten free bread when I ordered gluten free bread. Their website has allergen information published. I was told I would be refunded and a manager would contact me. Neither happened, so I'll just dispute the charge with my credit card company. I did get sick from their negligence. I would NEVER eat here again.

The ship has sailed on this cookie cutter chain. Going to this restaurant feels like going to a birthday party you're excited about, but there's a clown, it's really loud, the cake sucks with disappointing icing, and the mother running the party is inattentive and drinking in the garage. Plan to wait a long time for a very disappointing meal that tastes a bit like frozen dinner fare. Gone are the days of new and exciting recipes and here to stay are nickel and diming practices trying to cut back on the all little things. The little things are what makes a restaurant great though. It's unfortunate because a long time ago I remember having a couple of meals here that were pretty good. Of course my memory might be jaded and I probably over romanticized the food. Still, for this many people trying clamor into the door of a tired chain restaurant, somebody should speak up and tell people that the jig Is up and it's time to find a new restaurant. Luckily they still offer a couple of gluten-free cheesecakes which is their one Ray of Hope. It's hard to cater to today's digestive issues and this restaurant does very little to help customers who can't eat wheat. From now on when we pass by this place we will look at each other in the eyes and remember the days of old when the Cheesecake Factory was a place to go and enjoy food.

This is THE place to go on your trip to get the full Florida experience. We sat out on the dock by the marina with fans pointing on us. We had the starter fries with scallops & bacon & I had the salad with Grouper fish on it (came with a spicy honey mustard dressing). Gluten-free: At first I ordered the fish tacos thinking it would be a safe choice but when it came out, it had fried breaded fish on the two tacos. The waitress was super nice about exchanging it for a salad!

Antonio Souchet

Great for couples, business lunches, and large families, with family size portions of South American Latin cuisine. Gluten free options

It’s hard to find a good gluten free pizza in the area. And our server Christian was great! He had great energy and was very prompt.
