Top 6 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Paducah

Gina Bailey

This place is Heaven in disguise! Not one bad thing here. I was very hesitant to try it because I am not vegetarian or vegan, but have celiac disease. The food and baked goods are amazing . If I lived closer, I’d be in there quite often. A must if you’re in the area. I drive 2.5 hours to eat here.

First things First- Kia is an amazing ASSET to the dining experience and the company. She was extremely attentive and helpful. She didn’t even mention until we were about to exit she’d actually been on shift as long as she had and with her charisma and dedication to service prior to knowing, she was so fresh and on top of everything there’s NOWAY we’d have ever known. I plan to try to visit during times she’s working, when I choose Applebees. I must be honest I’ve been avoiding them for the last several years and honestly whipped in as a “they’re open later than other places and have some 5.00 drink specials; I’ll just go there” so we did and I’m glad we did! The ladies night was wrapped up with our dinner here. There were three of us ages from 70 to 24- we ALL enjoyed the experience, the food was good (again), with a gluten sensitivity it was nice to see that detail clearly marked in the menu, the atmosphere was clean, and again the service outstanding. I didn’t catch the bartender’s name, but also extremely impressed with the service and quality of drinks provided. Overall, tonight really reframed my opinion regarding Applebees restaurant all over again, restored my previous enjoyment of the long resisted visits. The food was all prepared very well and with the specials, was a very reasonable expense. I’m telling you- at least this Applebees has stepped back up to the plate in every aspect and the face we experienced through our server Kia won back my business! Pleasantly surprised and well worth the visit, especially if I can encounter Kia for service again. Management picked a winner with her!!!! We had chips with queso, the endless shrimp, boneless wings, or riblets, and the chicken, shrimp, and garlic/onion mashed potatoes. All items were as expected and delicious. The only thing we’d have to say we didn’t recommend would be the Breaking Rock Rita… I am not sure what that flavor was, but it just seemed very bitter. It was not like ANY other we’d ever tried, so if you would typically like a margarita this one is very “bitter” and if you don’t like them normally, but do like a pungent drink and would typically avoid a margarita- this might actually be one you’d enjoy. We can’t suggest it, personally. We were very well taken care of by staff with that hiccup, sooo I can’t complain. It’s just the only downside we had in this visit so wanted to mention it. If you get in during the drink special with the tipsy Cupid, it was delightful!

The service was wonderful. My sister, who is celiac, was very grateful to see that they had a build your own burger. And they had the lettuce wrap, giving her another option of gluten-free. She would have loved other sides besides fries was not available besides slaw and salad. But she was thrilled with a burger. Server was very sweet, and the cost was reasonable.

Love the Plant Based option for the bowls. Being able to get gluten free and plant based tasty food options is important to me and they carry the Impossible Crumbles! This is absolute delicious and makes it possible, tasty, and fun to go out with friends for a double date night. The service is always fast and they are very willing to accommodate the questions on what is and what isn't gluten free and if the employee is unsure- they are able to QUICKLY grab the sheet that let's them review allergens in each item. We really enjoy QDOBA!

Very nice waitresses kept us updated on things. It was a very pleasant visit. Glad they have some gluten free higher protein options for the pancakes. I hope they could do the same with toast, biscuits, waffles, crepes and other similar items. There are several different gluten free flours now to try.
