Amaris Klimczak

The food is so good! They have many gluten free options. I ordered their gluten free quiche and gluten free blueberry lemon scone. The quiche was so fluffy, the scone was very large and so delicious. You could not tell either was gluten free, I will definitely be back!

I had an excellent time at Melt bar and Grilled. When I mentioned I was gluten free, the bartender Megan, was happy to grab be a gluten free menu for me. She answered my questions and was happy to help. The food was delicious.

Ruby Rhods

Kind staff, great atmosphere, easy location. Offer gluten free food and non-dairy milk options.

Nicholas Duncan (Ghosty)

Food was pretty good. They have plenty of gluten free options which is a plus because I am always looking for my wife's allergy. Everyone was very friendly! 😄

Absolute best breakfast in the Akron area. The red eye hash is my favorite with big chunks of corned beef. The benedict is amazing. Everything is always great. Lots of great gluten free options including omelets, hash browns (potatoes are NOT fried in shared fryer) and GF toast.

Cozy and popular breakfast and brunch spot. Absolutely love that they offer gluten free toast here. I usually get a breakfast sandwich and it hits the spot every time, but it is a bit on the pricey side when adding bacon and gf toast.

This Denny's location on Arlington Rd is excellent. Very friendly staff and clean. Food was very good and I love the gluten free muffin they offered. October 21, 2021 at 11:00 am.

Gluten free biscuits are pure heaven

"GLUTEN FREE SHELLS!" says the menu. "GLUTEN FREE SHELLS!" says the cashier. "Flour tortilla," says the bag... Went with my wife for some DF/GF taco's. Turns out, despite it saying GF in bold on the menu, they are not gluten free. Also of note, they have missing items on their menu. And as for the "Avocado taco" you might assume it would come with fresh avocado. Unfortunately, they've opted to use processed avocado paste. Wasn't even acceptable. Just bad. Chicken taco was almost there. But the chicken was significantly overcooked. I ended up eating in front of my wife and she searched Google for another restaurant. Not the date we were hoping for. And I'm not sure the cashier understood that vegan cheese is dairy free.

I have eaten here dozens of times since discovering I am a celiac in January 2025, I have not had 1 single issue with cross-contact/contamination or any problem with accommodations to my needs. I highly recommend this restaurant as a frequent stop as they pride themselves on a clean and celiac friendly environment both in the restaurant and even for take out!

Gluten free pancakes...yes please! Delicious.

Christina Kelley

Gluten free and dairy free options. Atmosphere is classic and classy. Owner was so helpful and kind. If I lived here I would frequent often!

If I could give ten stars to service I would. Jess made our weekend. My wife just found out she is gluten and dairy free and has never had a good experience eating out until now. Food was delicious and Jess our server took such good care of us. We are from texas visiting places to retire, and Akron moved 17 spots up the list because of the good food, and the people here like Jess that really show how awesome it is here. Thank you so much Jess for showing us that there are good folks no matter where you go! If you are in Akron and don't stop here, you are definitely missing out. Thanks again Jess!

I absolutely love the restaurant on the top level! Reasonably priced, whole, clean, delicious food. Not to mention the added bonus of live music fri/sat night! Great date place for any time of the day! Definitely recommend trying. *Great for food sensitivities and restrictions! -Vegan -Gluten free -No sugar -etc.... *Restaurant is open later than the grocery store part*

Krista Galloway

Great cafe, vegetarian and gluten free options

Jake Aretz

Great place, cool menu but this was a awful waffle..I don't know if it was the gluten free make up or the weird cinnamon sugar but it all tasted like hot dirt..very disappointing. Waiter never even checked in on me (just cause I'm eating it doesn't mean I'm happy) I wish everyone else a better experience.

Steve Smalley

Great vibe great food! Good gluten free options!

Kassady Oberacker

Best salad bar around. Not many safe options for gluten free people, but we made it work.

Jason Turner

Good burgers and great service! Gluten-free buns available as well for those that need them.

Jenna

Amazing gluten free options, great presentation and drinks, unique dishes and lovely service! So happy a restaurant close to home has good gluten free options. Staff was knowledgeable, but gave me a menu that chad everything clearly labeled. Downside is no gluten free dessert, but everything else makes up for it so I can’t complain! We’ll be back without a doubt.

Elizabeth Lawrence

Delicious, many unique tea choices, lovely service and fancy atmosphere. The Tea Lady was able to find me a few gluten free items on short notice even though I hadn’t made a reservation in advance. I’m sure she’d appreciate you reserving 48hr in advance for those though 😉 my daughter thoroughly her children’s afternoon tea. It was a fun mother-daughter date

Beth McGuire

like their power bowls (with gluten & diary free modifications)

Kim Park

My husband & I visited this fun restaurant on a trip to Akron. Service was excellent; our waiter was extremely helpful in guiding me thru the menu, offering gluten free choices. He even asked the chef about preparing the fish special gluten free, which chef was only too happy to do :). Loved our little private curtained table & all the colorful paintings of faces with enormous chins - so much humor in those! Yes, the bill was a little pricey but it was a special evening. Enjoyed it!

Sandi C

Came here for breakfast close to downtown Akron... The food was amazing, even though there were no gluten free bread options. The service was great and the owner even came over to greet me. Definitely will come here again.

chad henderson

My wife and I went here for anniversary because she loves tea. Food was great. For not being a tea drinker, I enjoyed the tea. Our server went above and beyond to make sure my wife could have a gluten free pastry.He did apologize for forgetting to bringing us our tea. That was ok. We weren’t in a hurry to eat and go. We were given a tour of their meeting room. We look forward to going back to try other dishes

Jeremiah Currier

The chicken dinner made of soy w/ gravy and onions was wow!!! Seitan/gluten proteins are always better, and have such an easily attainable great texture, so I was very surprised that even the texture was really enjoyable. As a first timer, I didn't know what to expect with flavor and there was so much flavor! The rest of the fam had burgers and fries. Can’t go wrong there! To the employees who were late, so late that we never saw them arrive, smh. Your boss is a good one, she doesn’t deserve that.

Brendan Droge

So far this place has been great to us! The food was delicious, and the ingredients were quality. (Also to mention they cater to gluten free needs!) We got two BYOBurgers and chicken skewers, everything was cooked with care, the portion sizes were more than sufficient. The people were very kind and reassuring of our specific order as well.
