Brandy Gluski

Delicious food! Safe gluten free options for those w celiac disease. Good service. We always enjoy our meals and wine

Elizabeth Trempert

They have the most delicious house made gluten free biscuits!! I was so surprised and they also have GF pancakes and waffles!. It's beautiful and bright and the people are so friendly. I always enjoy my time there. Definitely order the GF biscuits even if yiu aren't gluten free!

Excellent experience here. I have Celiac disease and while they don’t have a designated gluten-free menu, they have gluten-free items marked on their regular menu. I had a cheeseburger on a gluten free bun with mashed potatoes and broccoli (wanted to avoid fries since they likely are in a shared fryer). It was a really good burger. My husband loved his burger too. Our kids were also happy with their meals. Very cool decor on the inside. There is limited street parking, but there is a parking ramp just around the block. Located in Downtown Fort Myers. Would love if they added gluten-free appetizers like a shrimp cocktail or something.

I eat at a lot of organic gluten free establishments. This was the worst gf sandwich I have ever had. My friend had a regular and it wasn’t any good either. Extremely expensive for such a small amount of medium quality food. Her sandwich was warm but no toasted bread. Pro tip on gf bread - it should be toasted to be edible. It had hummus and tatzki that leaked through and made a mess. Had to toss it out. So gross $40 for two sandwiches and chips that ended up in the bin.

Cute place, very tasty waffles with gluten sensitive options and nice staff. We enjoyed it so much we came back the next day!

Vivian Reeves

Awesome spot, delicious pizza. Will definitely order again! The gluten free was a bit pricey ($17 or $18 for a 10”, compared to the other normal pizzas), but hey what can you do. I loved their red pizza sauce, so delicious! Only thing better would be if they can do keto/ pizza bowls or crustless pizza, then I bet I’d order weekly, lol! Definitely blew my carb count today! Friendly people and great place to bring small kids to play while you enjoy a slice. Will certainly be getting take out from there again soon!

Sydney Friedman

Came here for bunch after a visit with my in laws and I have to say genuinely shocked me. Not only it’s the place adorable the staff was so friendly when I was asking questions about the crepes. I got the s’more’s without graham crackers and replaced it with bananas. I haven’t had a crepe in years so I was excited the coffee was pretty good too mine tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch! I ate that crepe so fast that I forgot to take a picture so here’s one of inside the place. Overall I loved it and next time I come to visit I will be getting it again!

Jill Mentzer

We had great martinis and steaks! The lunch menu is so well priced I'd prefer going during lunch instead of dinner. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy.

Chelsea

I am from out of town, and I had gluten free German cheesecake from here a year ago, and it was delicious. I still think about it and wish it was easily accessible to me now. Definitely worth a stop for their baked goods.

John Meier

This place was great. Atmosphere, food and service were amazing. Emily our server was fantastic. As first timers here she took time to explain every course and was very attentive to my gluten sensitivity

Suzanne Gibbs

We had a great waitress who gave us good recommendations and suggestions for gluten- and dairy-free options. The gluten-free French toast was very good!

Bunky Romain

Perfect place to take people for a great breakfast, also has gluten-free food, and an outside dining area. Great food, and don’t forget to get their million dollar bacon. Super place plus you can get a Mamosa! Great staff too.

Julie S

Quick stop before catching a flight at the airport, this place is fast food at its finest! Friendly service, delicious Gluten Free sandwich option, and free ice cream cones! Highly recommend!

Tiffany Marshall

This was a lovely experience! Both the tea and the treats were delicious and well-curated and it was wonderful to be able to have my gluten-free family member there and have her be able to do all the courses with us.

Keith Litchfield

Relaxed atmosphere with great view of the river. Food was great and was delicious. Gluten free menu available for folks that are interested. Shout out to Jake, one of the greatest servers ever.

Elizabeth Trempert

Gluten free pancakes and strawberry syrup when you get off work at 1am are the absolute best!

Lynn Tromborg

We stopped here with family who were flying out of Ft. Myers International. The location was convenient, easy to find, with easy in-and-out parking. The staff was wonderful, with a nice breakfast menu. They also have gluten-free menu options. We loved the atmosphere as well. The owner (or manager) visited our table to check on our satisfaction. Highly recommend!

Leila Bambury

Kelli and Christina are amazing! they went out of their way to accommodate to all of my food allergies and even sent me home with some extra gluten free bread. BTW to all of my gluten free people out there, they have the best GF bread ever!! I 100% will be back and best of all they made me feel comfortable.

Barbara Abar

Very nice...menu offers gf sign for gluten free entrees... the lady that answered phone wasn't real nice when i called ahead to check on gluten free, but THE STAFF WERE ALL GREAT at the restraunt♡...

T B

Food was served hot. Some nice additions to the menu but some of the old favorites gone. Gluten free was delicious and I did not get sick so I was a very happy camper.

Su Mac

We must have arrived at the end of the rush, because there was just a five minute wait late Sunday morning. We had a pleasant table outside. The service was great. The coffee was okay. I love coffee that is rich and robust, and usually drink it black. This was a bit watery for me, and cream didn’t help much. My husband had a traditional breakfast (the 2-egg platter at $12.50) and I had the Avocado, Swiss, Bacon & Tomato Omelet for $13.50. No gluten free bread here, so I ordered the scone to go, which my husband later said was excellent. The omelette’s ingredients were generous, but the eggs not great; I will ask next time whether the eggs are poured rather than cracked. My husband liked the potatoes and eggs, the meat was meh. Overall I rate this restaurant OK: great service and pleasant seating was offset with not great coffee, no GF bread, uncertain omelette eggs, lackluster meat and prices a bit high given the quality.

Cassidy Dameron

Such a cute and quaint little cafe!! Great coffee and gluten free options!

Todd Sorensen

Fabulous both days. My celiac wife ate safely.

Holly McEntyre

Our waiter, James, was very responsive to my need for a lot of water. He also helped me determine what I could order that could be prepared both gluten free and dairy free due to my food allergies. The giant scallops were amazing, I've never had them so tender. The risotto was a bit salty and I could not taste the key lime but I appreciate the chef making a dairy free batch for me. Several of the appetizers and entrees sounded amazing, and I hear the soups are to die for. I like the old Florida atmosphere, especially on the outdoor porch.

Sarah Roman

I placed my order for pick up. I went to pick it up when it stated it was going to be ready on the email. I go in and the hostess says that my food is in queue and should be out soon. Still no food and 30 minutes later someone came out and said my food was taken. Not sure how this is possible if my food was not made yet. I waited 40 minutes extra for a pick up order during my work lunch break. My coworkers and I will never order take out again from here. Also, when I left, I asked to double check to ensure that the bread was gluten free as ordered, but they would not check and acted like it was an inconvenience that I asked although I just waited an extra 40 minutes for a take out order. Unreal.

Ellen Dehner

Amazing fresh yummy healthy food! Attentive server! Gluten free options are wonderful!

Lori Stehlin

Good iced tea. Great omelette. Gluten free bread.

laurie lehmann

We love it. The service is great and they are helpful re: gluten free foods. Their gf English muffins are great.

Lisa Newberger

Very pleased with our Saturday lunch dining experience at Oxbow today. Our experience was positive from start to finish! The hostess was very kind and personable assuring she would have a table ready within a few minutes which she did! We had a very nice indoor table with a great view. (It was too chilly to sit outside for us). Our server, Adrianne, did a wonderful job making sure our special requests (Vegan salad, Gluten-Free Prime Burger and side) were fulfilled perfectly! She also arranged for a complimentary slice of delicious Carrot Cake for a birthday surprise! We will be back again!

Alexa Macias

I love coming here, the staff is super nice, especially the cashier, he is really attentive. They have really good deals and they have a lot of gluten free options that are actually good, which now a days is really hard to find. The service is as quick as fast food, but the food seems much more healthy than that.

Holly McEntyre

Charming little Café and restaurant. Excellent service. Good food, tasty and well proportioned. A bit pricey. But a lovely spot you would never expect to find in a strip mall, pleasantly decorated and laid out such that you can hear each other over other diners and feel both part of and apart from the entire dining area. Highly recommend. They have gluten free bread and readily prepared me a gluten free, dairy free option. Friends enjoyed wine and cake as well as entrees and specials.

Kristina Bell

We had the best experience today! I am Celiac and have to be very careful when eating out. Today we called ahead to see if they had any gluten free options. The lady who we spoke to was knowledgeable of the menu and was able to direct me to the gluten free options. When we arrived, herself and the young man working both went back to the kitchen to check the prep stations and how the salad was prepared. They checked with the cooks and made sure my food was flagged and prepared safely. It was so appreciated! Everyone there was so kind and the food was fantastic!

Shelly Dailey

Great breakfast and gluten free bread! The app is great so you can skip the line. Fun atmosphere. Great outdoor dining.

Samantha Shimota

Best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had! Service was awesome, we love this place!

Oh my goodness, why didn’t I come here sooner? So delicious! The special I ordered, the Country Fried Steak BLT, was huge and so tasty. I visited with my parents, my mom unfortunately can’t eat any gluten but they offer gluten free pancakes here and she was thrilled! She ordered blueberry gluten free pancakes and she said they were very yummy and she can’t wait to come back. My Dad is a vegetarian and ordered biscuits and gravy. They do their vegetarian gravy with the impossible burger (to my understanding, Hopefully I’m repeating that correctly) so he was stoked and really enjoyed his brunch. We all also enjoyed the Skinny Dog latte, two iced coffees and one hot...umm yeah I need one of those in my life every day. Triple yum! The porch was gorgeous as well to sit for the afternoon and as we had my infant son, the outside seating gave him things to look at. Can’t wait to come back and try more items!

Liz

The environment is super nice, girly and cute! But even if you were to go with a guy, I’m sure they wouldn’t feel out of place. Food was great, their gluten free crepes were awesome as well, not too dry and good flavor. Drinks were perfect! Such a nice place to spend some time with friends, take good pictures and enjoy yourself.

Levi Smith

Me and two of my friends came in last night and shared 2 filets and our waiter was absolutely amazing. One of my friends has celiac and has so much anxiety from bad experiences with waiters not taking her gluten allergy seriously and he was so nice and helpful. I wish I could remember his name. Food was also 10/10.

Sylwias Icecream

We visited First Watch on a Wednesday morning, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The place had a lively, welcoming atmosphere and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. The French toast with berry compote was perfectly golden and not too sweet. The biscuits and gravy were warm and comforting, and the seasoned potatoes were crispy and well-seasoned. I had the veggie omelet with fresh greens and gluten-free toast — so nice to see thoughtful options for dietary needs. The avocado and eggs dish was also excellent. We’ll definitely be returning for another midweek treat!

Amazing...Justin helped us with our gluten free requests. Impossible burger was awesome, kids loved Mediterranean flatbreads, local beer was delicious and the truffle fries...wow!!! There were only crumbs left on our plates!! Highly recommend!!

Rebecca Garcia

Arepa Express has been my go to place for the longest time 😆! The staff is super friendly and the owner does a great job with running business. Hands down my top favorite trucks! They provide a variety of options and are gluten free, and as well vegan friendly 😋. My personal favorites are the arepa Santa Fe and their appetizers, tequeños (cheese sticks). Im glad they've set a location where everyone can enjoy 🍴. You can never go wrong with dining with them. 🤤

Jenny McFadden

The gluten free breakfast burrito is amazing. Good coffee and excellent service.

Eileen Baker

Wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. Delicious crepes - sweet(fruit with whipped cream) or savory( ham & cheese, chicken).... Great sandwiches, cold or hot....And the PASTRIES!!!! Strudel, croissants, Napoleons, cream puffs,macarons, Danishes, eclairs, chocolate cake....and for gluten-free: flourless chocolate cake, cookies....Relax outside on the breezy patio...ENJOY!!

Dottie Guerrasio

Reservations are a must for this delicious dining experience. Every dish was presented in a visually pleasing manner and the portions were quite generous. Everything was fresh and delicious. Many menu items can be made gluten free. Happy hour drinks were available until 6PM. Salads, sushi, poke bowls, tacos, plus a wide variety of beef and chicken options accompany the fresh seafood items. Our servers were very attentive and service was prompt. The fun atmosphere consists of 1970’s music videos broadcast on multiple screens placed among modern eclectic decor. It’s a wonderful location and suits the special occasion or just a way to make any day special.

MedEx Exo

Quality fish, friendly service. They have Gluten free soy sauce 👍

Tracey Omilian

Love this place everything is very fresh and super healthy and im a celiac and they have many gluten free choices best part is its takes me 7 minutes to walk across the street to it !! Love ❤️

Sue Thompson

What's not to love about home cooking. If you had a bad cook in your house come here and taste what you were missing. Large menu as well. My daughter is gluten free and loves the choices she has here.

Victoria Varga

I stopped at Burntwood Tavern for lunch. The chef Jessica personally came out to discuss our gluten free options as well as address my son’s food allergies. She was so kind and knowledgeable and made the experience memorable. We will definitely be going back.
