Top 5 Gluten-Free Celiac Friendly Spots to Discover in Downtown Grand Rapids

Island Ewert

Awesome food and selections. Very filling. Most sandwiches can be made gluten free and they note if it's an allergy! Quality and filling gluten free options.

First visit here was several years ago on an overnight stay for a concert. Today I had to go back because that time was so good. Today I went and sat at the bar for brunch the staff (all 4 I encountered) were friendly and helpful answering questions and making suggestions that made my visit amazing. I went for this avocado toast gluten free with added egg and coffee, followed up with a citrus drink they mixed for me (not cocktail) that was the perfect refresher after the delicious meal. 10/10 recommend going here when in Grand Rapids, it is a super adorable yet smaller space so try to go outside the typical meal times or be patient and willing to wait. It’s worth it in my opinion.

Great food and drink and VERY careful with food issues including gluten. YUM!

An incredible steaks with phenominal service. I sat at the bar and if you get Adam your service level will exceed any expectation. The dry aged NY Stripe Oscar Style paired with a Woodford Reserve Old Fashion created a party on my palate. The gluten-free Cheesy Brazilian pop-over bread is a must that would have made my Gkuten-Free friends run around punching the homless.

Ruth’s Chris is an upscale restaurant where are you are treated very well and service is top notch. They definitely strive to make the customer happy. Your drinks are constantly being refilled and The waiter is always around if anything else is needed. That being said, we tried several different items as a family so we could get the full experience. Two of us ordered drinks and they were $15 apiece. The warm bread that you get in the beginning is very good. For the meals, we started with Caesar salad‘s and the ahi tuna appetizer. Both were very very good. The ahi tuna was perfectly seasoned and was one of the favorite items tasted by everybody at the table. Three of us ordered steak. The steaks were extremely tender but I didn’t feel like they were very flavorful. The Chilean sea bass was amazing! It was also seasoned perfectly. The shrimp was good. The sides are family style so the four of us were able to eat a little bit of everything. The sweet potato casserole was the favorite side for everybody! It was so good that it was almost like dessert. The au gratin potatoes were OK. The brussels sprouts tasted good but they were not very tender and the asparagus was OK as well. The baked potato was a very good size potato and it was good. For dessert, we got the chocolate sin cake and the crème brûlée. The chocolate cake is flourless for those who are looking for gluten-free. It is very good and very chocolatey. It is not a light desert. If you’re looking for something a little lighter, the crème brûlée is light and very very good. Overall, it was a very nice experience and some of the food is definitely better than anywhere else I have ever had it. I knew it was going to be expensive and I’m OK with that when the food is all impeccable but the four of us did not feel like we just ate a $440 meal(Before tip).
