Linda Sullivan

Have gluten-free food that passes muster even for people with celiac disease. Such restaurants are not easy to find. Maybe we celiac sufferers who enjoy eating out can share our GF restaurant experiences.

Absolutely the best for those with Celiac disease!!

Delicious gluten free fried rice

Meg Cosgrove

Everything was wonderful. They were able to work with our food allergies without issue. They accommodated gluten free, nut free, and even a garlic free guest! Room is beautiful, staff was on top of everything, would definitely recommend.

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

We were told to visit Old Europe Pastries because they have gluten-free options. Indeed, they do! The carrot cake is outstanding. We also got what I'll call a lemon bundt cake (which I can't remember the exact name, sorry), which was excellent. We'll definitely go back!

Bethany Bishop

Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.

It is so cute (not at all a dive) inside! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and have many options. The fried chicken was delicious and I really liked the fries. They also have fun cocktails, and my friends enjoyed their meals as well.

GF hash brown waffles and buckwheat crepes. Yum

Sheri Alkire

Service and food were great! My only disappointment is that HQ is changing their menu and taking several items off including one of my favorite gluten free foods…street noodles.

Lynn Sanguedolce

Great food and staff is very accommodating. Most menu items are gluten-free. I have never had a problem here.

Steph

I love popping in to Centro for lunch. Great, quick service, and reliably awesome food. The flautas and tacos are my favorites - and they even have a gluten free fried chicken taco which is so so good!

Lydia Ross

Delicious and gluten-free! Everything was flavorful and made with care and restaurant is warm and inviting!

The Crown Restaurant Brasstown is a true gem. The restaurant was recommended to us by an acquaintance and it did not disappoint. It is a quaint restaurant with amazing views, food and service. My husband and I have found our new favorite restaurant. I’m Celiac and can’t have gluten, dairy or egg. The whole restaurant is gluten free and have many vegan options as well. It is really hard for me to find “safe” places to eat. The food was AMAZING!!! Megan was our server and by the end of the evening we felt as if we had a new friend. She was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Megan even wrote down the name of a cookbook for me to try with gluten free and vegan options. Try out The Crown Restaurant! Trust me, it will be your new favorite place too! Also, make sure to ask for Megan and you will have great service and you’ll make a new friend!

This was my first visit to Bad Daddy's. I have Celiac disease, so gluten free options are extremely important to me, and it's a real treat for me to have a proper burger-in-a-bun rather than a lettuce wrap, even if it is a GF bun (they tend to fall apart without gluten to hold them together; no fault of the restaurant). My burger was delicious; I'll definitely come back when I need a burger fix. However, my review is mixed because I found the ambience lacking - the music was loud and of what I considered to be an obnoxious selection (personal taste, I know, but hey, it's my review). Also my menu was dirty, which was a real turn-off. A few customer-focused tweaks and it could be a five-star experience for me, but currently it's not.

I was very pleased with the gluten friendly menu. Dessert options were great. Malachi was great at knowing all the dessert options. My food came exactly how I ordered. Oh and the Italian Moscato was delish.

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free on a separate surface. They also have a full bar. Perfect for brunch! 3 Charlotte locations! We got the Pineapple upside down pancakes and the Spuds Deluxe!

Elizabeth MacHaffie

Absolutely stellar! Went here for the first time on a Friday night. Ate at the bar and our server, Jess, was so warm and helpful. I’m celiac and was thrilled to see they have a dedicated gluten free menu. We got the ratatouille, Peruvian chicken, salad, and my non-GF partner got the gnocchi. We were impressed with the freshness and flavor of the produce, the tenderness of the chicken, everything down to the flavor and brightness of the salad dressing. The gnocchi was tender and pillowy. Overall the dishes were interesting, flavorful, and had great texture variation. The environment was clean, softly lit, and a pleasant volume. We could chat easily, and no loud music. Prices are very fair and we were surprised our bill was as low as it was. Fantastic value. Really outstanding, and we’ll be back! What a gem of a place, thank you!

Brian Hamrick

Dinner was amazing! Lots of great food. Lots of gluten-free options. Taylor was fantastic!

Amber Easterling

They have a variety of options that are extremely safe for those that have celiac disease. A majority of items are already gluten free or can be made gluten free! The fryers are 100% gluten free along with a spare pizza oven. Any of the pizzas can be made gluten free. It is prepared on cauliflower crust! All pastas can be made gluten free and are prepared in separate boiler to maintain no cross-contamination. I was there for a girls night, so we just ordered small dishes to share. I’d love to try the pasta and pizza. The restaurant in itself is extremely nice.

Jen

This was a fabulous dining experience! Plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. The reason that I knocked off one star is that the dhal I ordered was so insanely salty! But it was very tasty. The atmosphere is awesome. It is a great place to meet up with friends.

Amber Easterling

A great place for sushi and Asian cuisine. They have a complete GF menu with main dishes, appetizers and sushi. Just ask your server for it. They use tamari sauce instead of soy sauce.

Rachel Whalen

I found my new go-to spot! I'm looking for healthy spots to eat (mainly gluten free and dairy free options). The food at Happy & Hale is not only healthy and meets my dietary needs but it's also SO DELICIOUS! Everyone working at this location is extremely friendly and makes you feel really welcome and at home. I met the owner and he's super friendly as well! Try JP's gluten free desserts - you will not be disappointed!

Had a wonderful brunch at Chestnut! The pimento cheese tater tots were amazing! I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try the fried green tomatoes! All gluten-free items are noted on the menu. The servers are very helpful if you have any questions!

Bethany Bishop

Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.

Jawanaka Wilson

Out waitress Emma was great, I have celiac disease and she got me a gf menu and made suggestions but the food and service was great.

Dana Shehan

OMG, the BEST gluten free biscuits I have EVER had!! ALL the food was out of this world and Tim the GM, was amazing, checked on us and got to know us!! We had the best service! Live over an hour away, WILL be making the drive to come back regularly 🥰❤️. THANKS 😊

Amber Easterling

Lots of gluten free options including sushi!! Let them know if you have celiac and they will take extra precautions and your meal will come out separately with an allergy stick. I feel very safe eating here!

Jordan Glover

We had the best meal and waitress today! Sooo much better than our Knoxville experience. Our server was very knowledgeable of our gluten free and dairy free options! Holly was truly amazing!!

Theresa Corcoran

I recently visited the Green Valley Grill for a family celebration. It could not have been more delightful. Five of us were had main courses and desserts, plus a couple of drinks and tips for around $200. Personally, I had the Turkish Chili Braised Short Rib, which was phenomenal. Other members of my party had the parmesan chicken, the rotisserie chicken, the chef's choice duck, and the pork schnitzle, which was a huge portion. The desserts were also great One thing to note, a member of our party had a severe gluten allergy. She was able to find items that she could eat, and very much enjoyed the cauliflower flatbread. The server was knowledgeable about the gluten allergy and thoughtful in his advice. I would definitely return the next time in the area.

MaryAnn Barnes

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

Dawn Meisch

This place has some absolutely delicious hash browns. As a family with various food allergies, we love being able to eat here together. Vegan and gluten free options are pretty good. Their coffee drinks are a bit expensive.

Karen Gonzalez

Brunch is LEGIT, and very reasonable on the price index , Dinner on the other hand is more fine dining. However it worth it, especially those with dietary restriction like vegetarian or Gluten free

Anna Crist

this place is amazing! they have scrumptuous fries and tots (try them fire-spiced) and a killer veggie smashburger. their sides are gluten free and they have a gluten free bun available. duke's mayonnaise packets abound.

Sherrie Pelkey

We love PF Chang's. Ember is such a great hostess. Highly recommend - make reservations it gets busy here!!! Love that they have a gluten free menu.

A Colaco

Staple restaurant in the SouthPark area. Always appreciate the kindness of the team throughout the dining experience. They are knowledgeable about the menu and helpful when advising about the gluten-free options. There are plenty of options — but it is best to ask for guidance/confirmation. We tried the watermelon and tomato salad this visit and it was GREAT! We also enjoyed the meat and cheese tray!

J Miller

I have Celiac disease and Cancer today was a very busy day for me I had a taste for Singapore Mei Fun. The Manager came to me and noticed that I said no heat, no curry no sauce. She suggested to try one of the three sauces she put in my bag. The I used th sauce they use in Lo Mein. It was very tasty, packed with chicken etc the chicken egg roll was cooked to perfection. I am giving a 10 on a scale of five. Job well done I absolutely suggest this restaurant to anyone visiting this weekend. I got the order to go but I am enjoying it as I post this review. Should have taken a photo but it was so good I forgot to lol

Marie Schwirten

Amazing place for gluten free ppl! Everything on the menu is available in a gluten free version. Most of the sweet treats were gf as well! Highly recommend!

Sarah Kemps

Tasha was amazing. Very friendly and kind. She always made sure we had water and was attentive to my gluten allergy. I really appreciated her service.

Toni Rauschkolb

Three10 is located in a lovely house with an open kitchen and a large outdoor space. The tables are well spaced so you never feel hemmed in. The staff is professional and attentive. The menu includes imaginative preparations for their dishes, one of my favorites is the black garlic Caesar salad. The special of the day was a striped bass over polenta with guanciale and puttanesca which my husband loved. The roasted oysters prepared with bacon, collards and cornbread crumbs are wonderful. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and most dishes can be prepared gluten free. Highly recommend!

Dani Dire

Hands down one of the best gluten free buns! Anytime I’m craving a burger, this is where we go. Most of the time when I ask for the gluten free bun they ask immediately if it’s an allergy before I can even say it. I’m celiac but saying it’s an allergy is usually easier. They do NOT have a dedicated fryer so stay away from the fries and tater tots unfortunately.

Collene Black

Everything is delicious! I am not vegan but I always eat here when I am in chapel hill. The coffee is fantastic. I get a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie every time and I am always impressed. They have lots of gluten free options.

bela c

this place is AMAZING!! their gluten free options are extensive, and the gluten free bun is so soft and delicious. the parmesan truffle fries are to die for, and the milkshakes are out of this world. best burger i’ve had in a very long time. salads are huge and so yummy. service was great, aaliyah did amazing! 10/10 recommend!

Kelley

Very tasty food. Not a lot of gluten free options, though what they had was delicious. They are also aware of general food allergies and could adjust well. The Baja Bowl with carnitas was delicious.

Joe Lentz

Posting the Gluten Free menu here since Bad Daddies won't include it on their online ordering or anywhere on their website.

michele lucassian

What a hidden gem this place is! The menu is amazing! The burgers are the best I’ve had! They had many gluten free options which is awesome! The owner really puts a lot of love into this place and it shows! Unfortunately I forgot our lovely waitress's name but she was great!

Abigail Pepper

We really enjoyed eating here! Awesome gluten free options and fun atmosphere. The GF bun was very yummy!!

Dawn Hand

Amazing service. Get to that in a moment. Had dinner with 14 colleagues. We ordered several apps and soups. All delicious. Our dishes arranged from vegetarian to gluten-free to pad Thai to shrimp, chicken and beef. I originally ordered the firecracker shrimp. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The dish came out lukewarm, shrimp a bit tough and it lacked flavor. Our server, Upon sharing with our server, Trinity, she immediately removed the dish. I replaced it with spicy chicken. It was hot and packed with flavor. Trinity offered exceptional service, taking care of our group. We never had to ask for refills. She was engaging and we enjoyed her wonderful personality. Well done, Trinity!

Sunny C

Absolutely loved the buffet so many options if you are a vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. The ambiance is so cozy and service was on point. Loved the watermelon juice it’s at the bar.
