Vegan and gluten-free options are only halfway worked out -- available but not delicious. It turns out I had been served a meal that was not gluten-free at a prior visit. The server's timing delayed our meals being served together. The host didn't have the character to accept responsibility when he inquired as to how things worked out. I will definitely think twice before dining here again.
Sometimes, all ya really want is a good ol' gluten free breakfast sandwich, and thankfully, High Street delivers!
Apparently you can order a GF loaf ahead of time as well, in case you were wondering. The man working was super nice 🙂
Also very happy that they have delicious modification options, so my maple sausage, egg + cheese with avocado + caramelized onions was super flavorful and juuust a little bigger than I could finish.
Their pastries and refrigerated sides look super good; only one gf chocolate muffin available.
Small place with enough seating for 4-5 inside and 6 outside.
& the fresh OJ was super fresh!
Our server Aidys was excellent! Really made our first time here spectacular! I have a gluten allergy and he was so knowledgeable and patient with my questions. Employee of the month for Aidys! And obviously the food was delicious!
Everyone was wonderful! Our waitress asked the chef if he could make a meal I wanted gluten free, and they did! It was amazing! Both my husband and I had wonderful time!

During our recent visit to Pennsylvania, my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic spot that truly exceeded expectations. For a very reasonable price of $59, we enjoyed a delicious spread, including tacos with a side of chili, two burgers with fries, tea, and two waters. One of the standout features was that everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was a huge plus for us. The buns on the burgers were especially delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The atmosphere was just right—not too loud or crowded—creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. A nice touch is the digital payment option on the receipt, where you can easily pay and leave a tip with a code.
Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we are definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in the area. If you’re in PA and craving some great food in a comfortable setting, this place is highly recommended! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
We always love visiting the Hard Rock, no matter which city we’re in, and this was no exception. The food tasted great, but was a tad expensive when compared to other local restaurants. Also, for gluten-free options, you’re limited to mashed potatoes instead of fries, which isn’t ideal. Where we’re from in the UK, gluten-free fries are available in the Hard Rock, so I don’t know why the same can’t be true in America too. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was everything you’d expect from a Hard Rock.
Amada has the best brunch in all of Philly! They have the friendliest staff who are very knowledgeable about allergy-friendly items on the menu. Their refreshing and flavorful $5 sangria at brunch is an absolute steal and worth the visit alone! Some of my favorite items (which are gluten free) include the gambas (garlic shrimp), meat and cheese with lavender honey, Amanda’s breakfast hash and their French fries. Their dinner is as delicious as the brunch but significantly more expensive.
NEW AMERICAN IN OLD CITY
The story of America was written in its colonial taverns, where future revolutionaries gathered to trade ideas and engage in spirited debate over hearty meals and cold drinks. Red Owl is smack in the heart of the cradle of liberty, Red Owl aims to revive that classic tavern experience, with a distinctly modern touch. The restaurant's superior details—hand-crafted cocktails, house-cured charcuterie, butcher-shop cuts of steak—make it a neighborhood respite. We do our best to accommodate the individual tastes and preferences of our guests with a variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menu options. That’s how Red Owl manages to be old, new and free-thinking all at once. Just like Philly.
Amazing plant based cheeses, including rich creamy brie? Check. The best vegan burger (garbanzo bean with chipotle peppers and vegan americican cheese)? Check. Can we go gluten free with that too? Check!
This place is special! A great thing to have in Philly!
I chose this place for my 6th anniversary specifically for the reviews I saw for GF homemade noodles + deserts. As a celiac, they sounded delicious. I was extremely disappointed when we got there to find out they only served GF penne (not homemade). The quality of the penne were similar to a cheap GF box of penne, to the point it was impossible to use a fork without them falling apart.
The sauce, however, was delicious and my scallop appetizer was out of this world.
The only desert offered that is GF was ice cream, for the price I could eat ice cream at home and have the same satisfaction.
Our waiter on the other hand was fantastic, quick, and very knowledgeable on what items on the menu were gluten free. Granted, there wasn’t many entrée options that were GF, he was still able to explain without issue.
I don’t think I’ll be coming back to pay for an upscale restaurant for GF penne bolognese.
I had another incredible dinner here yesterday. The experience from start to finish was wonderful. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I have to eat gluten free as a result of a medical diagnosis and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely return to Fork again soon.
The woman working was quite grumpy.
The wait was atrocious! And I mean atrocious - 30 minutes for two Philly cheesesteaks and some chips.
They mixed up our orders, my husband wanted everything loaded on his and I wanted mine plain with cheese, meat and jalapeño and gluten free bun. They made them backwards but we didn’t dare complain and wait again. I just only ate part of mine. And then felt super hungry afterwards.
I also didn’t want to complain because the woman was so grumpy.
The chips were great.
Google only asks about the table wait, so the table was actually fast to get. But the food order was the slowest I’ve ever had at a market ever!
I hadn't been to this BurgerFi since my last trip to Philadelphia in over 3 years. I knew from their previous location (across the street from Reading Terminal Market) their food was some of the best! I used to just eat here during my stays from New York.
Was very happy to have found them inside the new mall's food court, and was looking forward to having what was my first meal in over 5 hours, having just come from my Flix Bus.
I ordered my usual: double bacon cheese burger green styled (lettuce wrapped), and a CriFry. The young lady behind the counter was kind enough to check the ingredients of the shakes (I can't have gluten or corn due to my disability), which I appreciate her doing. When my burger came out I was very disappointed with the lack of lettuce! I only got 3 pieces, one of which was broken and had soaked up the grease of my burger.
On the other hand my CriFry was good. Fried and salted perfectly!
The tables were clean. Chairs were clean as well. Only complaint not related to food is that I felt like the rubbish (trash) bins were too far away from the tables. I didn't want to leave my luggage and backpack unattended and risk them getting stolen.
Otherwise I would come back again in the future.
The food is phenomenal- the owner told us how he makes things fresh from scratch every morning and I believe it. It is not a fancy restaurant (not a white tablecloth place) but the staff is attentive, it is spotlessly clean, and the prices beyond reasonable. I’m gluten free and they were helpful in modifying my dinner so I was completely comfortable with it. My husband definitely not gluten free and said the bread was fabulous. I love the variety of customers - students, families, couples. Highly recommend.
I love this place. There food is really good and consistent. They are friendly. And the price are really reasonable. I’m gluten free and I have so many options and I’ve never gotten sick!
I loved my growler of Cabernet Sauvignon. I was thrilled that they had gluten-free options. I had the brussel sprouts and the buffalo cauliflower tacos. Both were delicious!
I rented a car and drove in from New York specifically to see Sy Smith and she did not disappoint! Both she and her band were amazing.
Tonight we ate here after reading a review and I totally agree ... Great service, great food, good prices and a nice atmosphere... I had chicken wings which are gluten free and side salad. Drinks each.
The coffee is good, but the croissants and the lunch sandwiches are highly overrated.
My father asked a Bologna sandwich with gluten-free bread, and he got a tiny sandwich for double of the normal price ($17.25 + tax!) After we asked for a normal sandwich they brought us 2 slices of plain gluten-free bread, which was ridiculous. They said that the ingredients in the sandwich are the same as with plain bread, so it's fine that way…
Also, the pistachio croissant is filled with marzipan flavored cream, so definitely not pistachio. Just try the coffee, nothing else is worth it.
What a blast! Here in downtown Philly; Step into a Havana eatery with an abeyance of CUBA 🇨🇺 wall decorations, big fans, Latin music! The Mojitos are spot-on. The appetizers delicious; crisp plantains, guac 🥑, & cinnamon infused butter for bread. Entrees were beautifully plated & tasted amazing. Raphael did a superb job! Plenty of gluten-free items to pick from.
I enjoyed P.J.Clarkes restaurant at the Curtis for my birthday back in April 2022. I had just started a new job that week at 6th and market and didn't really have plans. So my husband came to take me to lunch and we walked around a few blocks and stumbled upon P.J. Clarkes. We ate outside, I loved the atmosphere and the customer service was top-notch. I have dietary restrictions, gluten free, dairy free, and they were able to accommodate that so that I could enjoy a meal. The server (I wish I remembered his name) was gracious and extremely welcoming as was the general manager of that day. Highly recommended.
My husband and I had our elopement dinner/microwedding here in November 2023. Samantha and the whole Royal Boucherie staff gave us the best experience we could have wished for. We planned everything in less than three weeks. Samantha & team were not phased a bit, even as we were adding new vendors to the roster week of (a holiday week at that.) Communication was prompt from the day we submitted our inquiry. They managed logistics with our vendors. They were able to accommodate a gluten allergy and a few other dietary restrictions flawlessly. Every single staff member we interacted with was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. In addition to Samantha, I want to give a special shout out to the hostess who helped us see the space while we were making the decision on where to host and also made sure our “after party” was comfortable and had space downstairs at the bar after the wedding.
We used the upstairs covered patio for our ceremony and the parlor for our reception. We decided not to bring in any flowers because the space is already so green and beautiful.
We received lots of compliments on the food. The staff went out of their way to make sure we, as the bride and groom, were able to enjoy passed Hors D'oeuvres as we were taking family portraits during cocktail hour.
If you are looking for a place to host your 65 or less person wedding in Philadelphia, add Royal Boucherie to your shortlist. They went above and beyond for our day and we cant wait to continually go back to celebrate new life milestones.
Really delicious food. Plus, since I have celiac disease, they offered me a gluten-free bagel to accompany the dish, and it was very good! Very friendly and approachable waiter. Excellent quality/price! Advised!
Celiac friendly
