The best fish and chips.

The menu mentions asking about gluten-free options, so I asked what was gluten-free. The answer, “everything”. They have gluten-free toast, French toast, and waffles! They also have sugar-free syrup! Having a wheat allergy and being diabetic usually means I have to be very selective. I was amazed at how accommodating this restaurant is. The food was amazing and Phillip was an excellent server!

Definitely not celiac friendly! You can smell the baked pizza in the air. Yeah nope! How can anybody rate these places as gluten-free friendly. Seriously, just walking in and being there for 5 minutes, my son and I both were symptomatic, and we didn't even eat or drink anything

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

This place exceeded expectations. Excellent food, drinks and service. We started with raw clams and spicy margaritas and then had two pasta dishes for entrees. My partner is gluten free and they offer gluten free pasta which was great! Everything tasted and was presented beautifully. Serving sizes were very generous - I took at least half my entree home! Our server was friendly, professional and quick. We will be back!

100/10, absolutely excellent. Especially if you have Celiac and have to be gluten free -- they have GOT YOU. This is one of the largest gluten free menus I've ever been able to order from that wasn't a dedicated GF restaurant. We got the drunken shrimp, chicken risotto, and smores budino, and it was so good! There were five or six GF deserts I could've chosen too, which is unheard of. The gluten free bread alone won me over. It was so incredible, even my husband loved it. The wine is delicious -- we joined the wine club and got the seasonal dragonfruit sangria, as well as the white sangria. Highly recommend!! Bonita at the wine tasting bar took care of us, she has the best personality and laugh, such a joy. 🥰 Give this woman a raise! Also Casey W, our waitress, for the great service and taking care of my GF needs. We had such a great experience, we definitely recommend. Top 3 restaurant in the Tampa/St. Pete/Saraota area for us.

I love Simon’s! I’ve been going for years and the food is always amazing! I always go for any vegan specials and the soups are always delicious and unique! I also never leave without a dessert for later! Such a great variety of vegan, gluten free and other items! A huge bonus is that their entire team is incredible! Local- family owned- great options- check them out!

My wife, 2 six year old girls and myself waited 25 minutes in line that was out to the curb. The chalk board had gluten free flavors and dairy free flavors. Once we got up to order we were told they were out of dairy free. They had been out for hours. Try telling your 6 year old who is allergic to dairy who was excited for about a half hour about ice cream she can't have any. What's the point of an updated menu if it's not marked. Do better and let the people at the curb know what's available.

Check out all the awesome REAL food here full of organic, gluten free, vegan, GMO free, plant based life nourishing fuel. This place has figured out the perfect blend of go to recipes and local vendor medley that can almost replace your grocery store. Try the drive thru for a quick pick up of plant based hot and cold drinks, gluten free donuts and awesome shots to pump your day like elderberry and anti inflammatory. When you head inside you’ll be super stoked to find a treasure trove of the coolest food and treats around. My whole family has health issues that we are tackling by plugging into this healthy local family owned business committed to helping people heal. Just started replacing our not so healthy shelves with these health packed goodies and sure enough it doesn’t get better than hearing our family say hey pick me up some of that Crop stuff! Woot!!!! When your fam feels good you feel good, just can’t say enough about this place. Ask for Tyler he’s the guru on anything you need help with totally cool vibe and will steer you to just the right items for you and your family. CROP you ROCk!

Our server Ashley was great! She was great with our son and very attentive even though it was really busy. The food is great, the kids meal is a great value and great quality. Love that they have gluten-free and dairy free options (except dessert 😞) Love that the menu changes with the season too. It's super busy on the weekend, they should open one closer to Parrish

Kerstin Long

Really special place. The macroons are all gluten free and amazing! Our family tried: birthday cake, bubble gum, belgian chocolate, praline and coffee. All were amazing. Even the bubble gum was totally edible though obviously meant for kids. The praline and coffee were sweetwithout being gross and just perfect. Thank god we dont live anywhere near this place!

Awesome pizza, very unique and tasty pizza selection and variety. (Regular classics and Thai/Mexican/etc). The best customer service of any restaurant ive been to, every time i go there. Restaurant manager and servers are super attentive, friendly and pleasant Very consistently excellent food and service, never disappointed. Also gluten-free options for people with Celiac's.

Steph Sundell

Wow this place has A LOT of gluten free options with their unique ice cream flavors. I was helped today by Lori and she was super nice explained all the different flavors for me and gave me lots of samples to help me choose. I will be coming back this is my favorite ice cream spot now! Thank you for the delightful treat and service!

UPDATE 1/3/25: Ate here 8 times in 5 days. Still amazing. Additional recommendations, ribeye (size and taste align with the price), coconut shrimp and calamari REVIEW 12/29/23 5 stars are few, BUT triple tail deserves it! Back Story: I was craving a grilled chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun and my brain and stomach said “no other option it HAS to be that”. After calling 5 restaurants, being prompted to go online, unable to speak to a real person, or gluten free buns being unavailable it was the restaurant who specializes in seafood who: -Answered the phone -Had the most pleasant and professional young lady take my order -Accommodated all my requests (I’m extra and ask to add or remove a lot of things, I am a Karen after all) -Meal was executed perfectly -Atmosphere and restaurant interior is beautiful and cozy -Quality far exceeded the cost Recommendation - Grilled chicken sandwich on gluten free bun, with fries. Side of honey mustard (for fries) Sweet chili sauce (for the chicken sandwich). Chicken was juicy, GF bun was fluffy No pictures included #ToHungryToTakeaPic ✅ Karen Approved!

Food was ok. Not what i hoped for. The menu sounds delish. I read online that they had Gluten free options. Essentially it is there regular food but without bun or tortilla. My server was Medicore she was here to to the job and nothing more, but maybe it was an off day. We all have those. Atmosphere was great. Love music outside. I did sit inside but they have all the doors open so you still get the outside vibe.

Taylor Keefe

Love this place! Stumbled upon it during my vacation and could not be happier. Great for my gluten free/vegan people. Doesn’t taste like artificial sugars/sweetener; it’s very natural and filling!

Michelle Jackson

Already 95% gluten free, will bring out fresh sides if needed as well. Very understanding.
