Great place for a quick brunch! Many gluten free options, and the food is not greasy at all.

Absolutely wonderful! My family tried their food for the first time a few days ago to celebrate my daughter‘s (celiac) birthday. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to see her experience, without any worry, this amazing food. Aside from flat-out rejoicing in the fact that it’s certified gluten-free, the fusion of Indian and Mexican is heaven, and beautifully presented. We returned just 4 days later for a second round, we hadn’t had enough. Tried a different assortment from the menu and found even more new favorites! ( Actually, if everything on the menu blows you away, is it still safe to say they’re favorites?😆) I reached out via email to the owner to congratulate him on this amazing food and he responded personally with a call to thank me. Truly an amazing place and our new favorite restaurant, hands-down!!!

Love the build-your-own with unlimited toppings, gluten free crust and vegan cheese options. Don't miss their 3/14 Pi-Day deals. Their rewards program on the app is also great.

Amazing service. And lots of gluten free options for celiacs

I've been to this location several times before and was always happy with the food and service provided. However, during my most recent visit, they served my friend with Celiac's Disease regular pancakes instead of gluten-free ones, and the server barely apologized. They took the entrée off the bill but still made him pay for his coffee and juice, which is totally unacceptable. My friend made it very clear that he needed gluten-free options, which they proudly advertise. The server's reaction was completely inappropriate and I hope the restaurant provides some allergy sensitivity training for her, as this could have easily ended very badly for my friend. Despite the rest of the experience being positive, this was a very perturbing incident that nearly ruined an entire day for our party.

Well said by Emma. As a local as well me and my wife use to love to come here. She is gluten free and we loved the fact that she could get salmon over greens and vegetables. Now with this menu change there is no chance. Prices are sky high I don’t think I can justify 15 dollars for a chicken sandwich :/ even with inflation. If I were to order a side it will be over 20$ for a sandwich and a side. Nachos are $15, the new menu does not match the restaurant. Hopefully things change one day but for now you have lost two more customers. It’s sad because we actually loved this place.

Great spot centrally located in the heart of the Asbury Ave shopping district. Menu has lots of variety. Many gluten free and healthy options. Love the flourless crustless quiche! Fast service. Hot food. Seating is often tight inside due to the small space. Bar seating is often available and you can usually find a single seat if needed. We have been here over a dozen times and food and service are consistently good! Worth the wait if there is one. Several great shops nearby to shop while waiting. Will be back!

Best gluten-free rolls I've been able to find, and my allergy makes it very hard to find one. Dude makes an amazing diablo spread and fills that sandwhich to the brim, I love it here

Would have liked to endulge in there pancakes but although they offer gluten free pancakes they don't have a vegan option. Everyone else in our party loved the food and from what I saw the pancakes did look fresh and very tasty. Everyone was happy with the food here. Cute spot to visit in ocean city .

Truffle Pig

The best pizza place local to me. When you walk in it smells of as a traditional Italian grandmas kitchen. My boyfriend was craving pizza so I brought him here. He got the meatball pie. The face he made after eating the first bite was him falling in love with me all over again 😂. This place also has amazing gluten free and vegetarian options. I recommend this place to all my friends. Tight indoor dining but they have a cute patio outback that’s much more spacious. I personally always do take out.

Awesome gluten free and dairy free options 💯😊

The food was good, the waiter was nice but,.... Food was served without utensils or napkins. I ordered a gluten free dish and it came with Italian bread placed on top. The extra dishes to share the appetizers were dirty. All this was discussed with the manager who was nice and accommodating.

Great GF pancakes; the staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination.

We came as a gluten free, vegan, and regular eaters. We all got something off the menu and it was all delicious!!! Veggie wrap, blt, shrimp and bacon Quesadilla, and gluten free pancakes for us. We all left full.

Corinne Esposito

Always a go-to for me! I called ahead before ordering delivery and the woman on the phone was very accommodating for my celiac. She said the kitchen will change their gloves and use foil on the grill for my order. Gluten free items on the menu are marked!

GF pizza and vegan options

Sam Griff

Good barbecue. They do have dedicated fryers and special areas. They have always been amazing about gluten free.

Pinkyand TheBrain

The food was exceptionally good. Or the ingredients of the pizza were. But the crust was like a cracker and I have had gluten free pizza at 5 places I like that it was "gluten free" . But it was not really. True Gluten free for Celiacs has pizza or whatever in a dedicated oven. It was not. The pizza itself was Gluten free. But it was made with Glutinous pizza. My husband is Celiac and broke out. Because it was not made in a dedicated pizza oven. The parking was not free like they advertised. It was 8.00 and there was no bathroom. You had to go across the parking lot not close. But it was close to the ferry. For some reason I am not able to post pictures.

Steer clear. An overall unpleasant experience. They were out of several dishes, omitted components entirely (avocado on the salmon) or had made substitutions without letting us know - (ricotta (?) for creme fraiche on the bolognese, and most shocking: a corn tortilla for a gluten-free bun on a burger). On the upside the service was suitable - our server did their best considering the circumstances and their own frustration with the restaurant's lack of detail and basic ingredients. Hopefully management / ownership can right the ship - where its headed now is down, down, down...

Perrin Brown

Very large menu and no reaction whatsoever!

Devon D

Very good spot, breakfast was phenomenal. Got steak and eggs with the avocado toast. I have to eat gluten free and they were able to accommodate for the gluten free avocado toast! For the food it was a little pricy, between me and my girlfriend it was 62 dollars for breakfast before the tip. Our meal: Grilled steak & eggs Cacio E Pepe egg sandwich Coconut hot chocolate 2 Orange juice

Went early to avoid the beach Sunday breakfast rush. Service was fast and the food was good. They also had gluten free pancakes which my daughter loved.

Gregg Woelpper

Our waitress Sandi A. was and always is amazing. I have a gluten allergy and she always takes care of us perfectly. All of the managers and the owner Scot are very nice and very very helpful. If there is any issues, they take care of them immediately. It really is a great place to eat.

Love that everything is gluten free and vegan because of my dietary needs

Great GF pizza!

Amazing food, awesome staff, everything is so tasty and freshly made. Amazing it's authentic Greek food an explosion of Greek culture on your taste buds. They also serve gluten free food you can get anything gluten free on a wrap or a gluten free salad with chicken or tuna.

Leigh Jaros

Gluten free bun was surprisingly fabulous and Diana was the quintessential example of great service and personality! We ate here twice in one day

Pros 1.For those that do not understand. Being Gluten free is not a choice like being a Vegan! It is due to having a gluten allergy! Curley's fries are gluten free! Which means nothing else goes into the same frier such as chicken nugget or anything else along those lines. That is a big plus! 2. It was the ONLY food we could have on the boardwalk that we could find that was Gluten free! 3.Fast service. 4. all of the condiments. were on the side so you could serve yourself! 5. Were not greasy at all! Cons 1.They were very potatoey and not crispy and didn't seem fried at all! 2.They were not too flavorful.

We had my sister’s bridal shower at the Element this past weekend. Our bar tender Rachel was spectacular and went above and beyond. The food came out perfect and the chicken franchise was amazing! The manager allowed us to come in an hour early to put up decorations and was so responsive when we sent her emails with questions. We also had a few guests who are gluten free and they were able to order off the main menu. I can not thank the Element team enough for how well everything went. My sister had an amazing time and so did all our guests.

Matt Whelan

Had a gluten free bun that was so good!

Mark Dennis

We ordered an ice cream cake for 14 people 2 days in advance and it was done no problem. We did a 10" cake with chocolate on the bottom with vanilla caramel on top. It needed to be gluten-free so we did a fudge center instead of the crumbles and everyone loved it. The staff is very friendly as well.

Kevin Leonte

Overpriced and mediocre food. Fish and chips were ok,but the fried shrimp was almost black. Manager did take that off the check. Wait staff was ok and pretty knowledgeable about gluten allergies for my daughter"s Celiac disease. Just underwhelmed about the whole experience.
