GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES!!!!!!

Kollen Marchant

The environment was cool. The art is for sale (kind of expensive) the waiter was great. They have gluten free options.

Misnamed Nomenclature

Hemingway's has been safe for me to eat at. They have limited (think Well seasoned chicken skewers, lentil soup, and blackened fish of the day) gluten free options, but being Celiac in Melbourne makes any place with quality cuisine a repeat.

We went here for our anniversary and the small touches to make it special, did make it special. Kacey was our waitress and she was just amazing, really appreciated her attentiveness in general, and with all my gluten related questions (they have a great GF menu). All around excellent evening with a great atmosphere and amazing food, we could not be more happy with our first time experience at the Chart House.

Taylor Jenkin

Rylie provided us with great service. She made some suggestions for what to order that was celiac safe, letting us know they have a separate toaster for GF toast and a very contentious kitchen when it comes to cross contamination. That always makes us feel better when eating out. Food was excellent as always!

Tanya Hartings

I have my daughter and her friend here for spring break and Sunday we headed to Backwater for brunch! We sat outside on a cute patio and Chelsea was our waitress. She was very attentive made great suggestions on what we may like for food and for drinks. My daughter is gluten-free so she ordered the pancakes and said they were absolutely delicious. I had the breakfast sandwich on the Cuban garlic bread that Chelsea had suggested and it was absolutely mouthwatering. When the gal came out to deliver it to me, she said you’re going to fall in love and she was right. It was exactly what we needed to kick off their visit to Florida. I will definitely be going back and trying some of the other menu items that look delicious. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll definitely have to stop by for a fantastic dining experience.

Waited an hour for our food and our order wasn't right. I have a gluten allergy and this could have been bad if my celiac was really bad. Was very disappointed in the service because the food is really good and our first experience was good but not this time around. Very unhappy and the waitress couldn't reach her manager. Not good.

Tina Travels

Limited gluten free options (I also can't eat eggs) but the quinoa bowl was pretty tasty (minus the egg topper). The atmosphere is like most chain restaurants, nothing to write home about. The patio is a nice option. Our waitress was absent most of the time, too the point another server noticed and checked on us, but that can happen anywhere.

Regina Vogt

Decided to try this for father's day since hubs fav food is pizza and we r all about local. Staff is friendly but... I had to ask for kids water, refills of water, beer and wine, after actually ordering. No crayons for child, so he was disappointed. I am gluten intolerant, Checked website b4 we made plans. Get there, no gf options, Very disappointing as everyone in family was ok, but me. Ordered smores pizza, after 15 min, baby was getting restless, walked around, seen pizza setting there, waited, waited, finally asked if I could just deliver myself. There were at least 6 employees, 4 tables max when we came in. 2 hrs for our experience. Not happy, don't want to bash, but none of us will return. Sad bc we really wanted to support this family.the flavor of pizza was great, other than chic alfredo, no one liked the chicken

Lisa Day

Excellent food! I ordered a corned beef sandwich on a gluten free bun. It came with sauerkraut,stone ground mustard and coleslaw. I also ordered an iced tea. It was the first time I was there and I hope to go back

My husband and I just discovered this place. The ambiance is beautiful. Al fresco at its best! Food was delicious. Our server was warm, friendly, sharp, and attentive. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the french fries. My husband said said they were definitely frozen and overprocessed and tasted like plastic. He loves fries and he did not eat them.The fries do not match up with the freshness and wonderful quality of the rest of the food or the upscale ambiance. Hopefully, they are working on serving a much better product. I was also very appreciative that they can accommodate gluten free diets as I am gluten intolerant. Great place to eat, but we do not recommend the fries.

Candace E

The food was delicious. They even had a small and medium gluten free pizza option (not its obviously cooked in the same kitchen with everything else so not entirely safe for those with celiac but it was great to see the choice). Service was fast and friendly. Two people at our table got wings and said they were delicious (plain and sweet chili).

Nancy Jacobson

Sea bass was very good ... chef accommodated my food allergies ... would love for them to offer a gluten free pasta!!

Nicole Price

This is not the first Ford's Garage I've eaten at so it's nice to see that the food and experience are consistent. The server was well educated about what was gluten free vs potentially cross-contaminated. Food was done well/delicious and despite how busy it was, we neither had to wait long to be seated nor to eat, once we ordered.

Roseann Cryer

I was bummed after going here. It looked fun and the food looked good. It was so loude I could not even talk and could not hear the waitress. I kept asking her to speak again. The food was good but not what the menu said it was. The waitress said everything is made in house. I am Gluten free so when she returned I asked if the GF Buns are made in house since most commercially made are no good. She then tells me none of the bread is made in house. When 5 minutes before she told me everything is made in the kitchen. Sadly we will not return. I was very disappointed.

OMG!! Vegan of 30 years and THIS is my first stop when I fly into Florida. The creamy curry zoodles has been my favorite dish but they came out with a new gluten free Mediterranean tabouli dish with roasted eggplant and garlic and SHAZAAm!! An INSTANT new favorite. Service is incredibly attentive and their market has a little bit of everything from the esoteric to the metaphysic to down to earth. They also have a fully stocked meals to go refrigerated section (great when you want to not think about making food on vacation but wanna eat delicious and nutritious foods) and lots of dried goods, supplements, super foods, and other self care products! Come get your feast on! Prices are also reasonable for a 100% organic shop!

Joel McDaniel

Great staff. Food came out quick. Wife was able to have a gluten free sandwich!!

Veronica “Vee” Dee

I haven't been to an IHOP in more than a decade because I have a gluten sensitivity. My friend wanted IHOP so I figured I'd have to watch him eat pancakes. Our incredible server, Stewart (yes that's the correct spelling) told me that IHOP HAS GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES! They are cooked on the same grill but it's a dry grill and they will wipe it down. I cannot tell you how happy I am! I got to have fluffy, tasty pancakes that did not cause a reaction. And Stewart was the best waiter I've had in a long time. He was attentive without being annoying, he was just as sweet as he could be and anticipated our needs at every turn. He should be working at a fine dining restaurant but he's just so damn personable I don't know that I would want to let him go. Breakfast was exactly how I asked for it with dry scrambled eggs, everything was spot on, Delivered timely and again, Stewart is an absolute treasure. This location is at the entrance of the Brevard Zoo so stop by, have brekkie AND ASK TO SIT IN STEWART'S SECTION

Alanna Dixon

We had a fantastic experience! Our waitress was incredibly patient and understanding when it came to accommodating our gluten-free dietary needs. She took the time to ensure everything was safe and even made recommendations. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

Angela M

Really nice place. The food was outstanding. They have a gluten friendly menu available upon request and the grilled shrimp is a dish so good you won't feel like you're just settling for it. My party also had seafood lasagna and stuffed shrimp and said both were very good.

Jule Reblo

Food was fresh and tasted great! Thank you for the gluten free recommendation from the waitress for the Quinoa bowl, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

delphine geraci

Oysters on the half shelf were so-so. Mojito too sweet. Staff very friendly. No gluten free or vegan options. Wondering what the key in the ceiling is for.

Jennifer M Santos

Food was okay. Called to see about shellfish allergy options. I was assured I could eat from their gluten-free menu, when I arrived and read the gluten free menu there is a disclaimer stating they can not guarantee there isn’t cross contamination. Thankfully, no reaction but was a little disappointed about the potential risk.

R P

Their (naturally gluten-free) macarons are out-of-this-world amazing! I might have to take up exercising just so I can keep eating them! Their other two GF options included meringue cookies and creme brûlée, which also looked delicious!

Marc Sing

Love this place!!!! Food and service are both great!!!! My wife has Celiac and had no reaction! Ate the chips, salsa, guacamole, queso and the arroz con pollo

Laura

Apocalypse has amazing coffee and a super cool space and atmosphere. Their coffee is some of the best in Brevard County. Their food hasn’t super blown me away but it’s still pretty good and I really appreciate the variety, as well as the gluten free options. The employees are always nice. The only issue is the lack of parking during busy times and lack of seating inside, but I suppose it’s a testament to their popularity. Regardless I love this place and can’t wait for their new location to open up!

Megan Meeks

We had Mother’s Day tea with a group of 6. We booked last minute and they were able to accommodate. They were so kind and fun and the food was great. They easily accommodated my 7 year old niece and my gluten free sister. The tea was actually amazing and it was so relaxing. Can’t wait to go back for lunch! If parking is hard, there’s a lot behind the Henegar center about 3 minute walk.

Breckard Ulstrand

Went as part of a party with 8 people for lunch. The place was clean and the service was friendly. The menu ranged from $13 or $15 for sandwiches (including burgers and chicken) to $30ish for steaks and some of the higher end fish dishes. The salads looked good and the other dishes I saw looked good too. There were gluten free options on the menu, and there was the option to exchange any protien with beyond meats. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich. The Buffalo sauce was delicious, it was sweet with enough heat that didn't over power the other flavors. The fries were good and crisp. The chicken in the sandwich wasn't rubbery. Overall, I liked it. Would go again.

OMG I forgot how good this place was! My husband ordered the New England clam chowder soup, fish and chips, and Keylime pie. I am gluten-free so I ordered the grilled grouper with a gluten-free sauce that was excellent. It came with two sides. The house salad was amazing with spring mix, arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, red onion, and cheese, and I had a homemade cucumber ranch that was absolutely divine our server. Chelsea took good care of us. My husband ordered the Keylime pie for dessert that’s homemade and was incredible. It’s a little loud in this environment, but you have a beautiful view of the boats and the water and the food is probably some of the best I’ve had in Melbourne. Do you like fresh fish? This is one of the only places that has something other than mahi-mahi Totally recommend the grouper and if you can eat, gluten, the potato and crusted grouper is amazing. Side note they have a really nice rocks pour. Can’t wait to come back and try another gluten free option.

I’ve heard the food is good here for years and just never thought about it when we were going out. We loved the Jalapeño Roll! I had the stir fried clear noodles. And the table shared pineapple fried rice. They had gluten free options which makes it so much easier for me to eat. We will be back! There is so much more to explore on their menu.

Jonathan Meyer

Great food and service. Harley was amazing. Also, it has great gluten free options. They even have a dedicated fryer. A++

Just discovered there is a gluten free bread option. I had no idea. I recently, 5/18/25, had the healthy delight but replaced the spinach with regular lettuce and it was dope AF. Ordered online and ready within like 8 mins. Will be here again for sure. Also a good alternative to ordering Jersey Mike's from uber eats at half the cost since I work in the mall.

Updated allergy menu means daughter can now eat breakfast here. Manager even came out to doublecheck allergies (gluten and dairy free). Server was great.

Bj

My friend and I were very impressed with this restaurant. Our server recommended an appetizer that was so delicious (fried rice balls, stuffed with cheesy broccoli). We also tried one of their gluten-free flatbreads, which was fantastic. The salmon that we added to our Caesar salad, was cooked to perfection. We thought the prices were reasonable.

Judi Shell

Great breakfast food. Even had a menu for me that was gluten free. Coffee is the best!! Service staff was friendly and efficient! 🎄❤️

Benjamin Salley

Kit Mohr

Foods great, the people working here are even better. Solid customer service and attention to detail. Really appreciate the gluten free options!

Laura Buchan

Beautiful waterfront restaurant and bar overlooking the river. We visited for Sunday brunch and sat out on the deck. My husband ordered the burger topped with a crab cake, and I had a breakfast skillet (modified to suit gluten-free requirements). Both were so delicious, we washed them down with some cocktails. The service was exceptional, and we're excited to return and try out their dinner menu. Great local spot!

Gluten free buckwheat crepes are perfect
