Top 8 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Havens to Enjoy in Syracuse

LONG REVIEW: PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE GLUTEN SENSITIVITY OR CELIAC: My Wife has celiac disease, the gluten free menu is great and offers fee a lot of diverse options. We normally don’t eat out but it was her birthday and I wanted to take her to this place because she loves their gluten free menu. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in the kitchen and they accidentally brought her out the gluten edition of her meal. They apparently realized it before bringing it out and and attempted set it off to the side, before making the correct meal. However, they failed to inform the servers, and a server still ended up bringing it out. My wife ate a good portion before the waitress came over and realized it was the wrong dish. Look of panic on the waitress face said it all. The manager was apologetic, but the damage was done. We left immediately and we got to our road just in time for her to start puking all over the side of it. She was bed ridden the rest of the day. Make sure, ask and then ask again before diving into your food that they cooked it correctly. I hate that I have to give this place 1 star, because they are usually great.

My Partner and I ordered online and upon arriving I was very impressed by the atmosphere in here. Lots of great places to sit and eat inside and outside. The aroma of food was amazing, it made my mouth water. The service was incredible, greeting every customer with a smile and took customer concerns very seriously. You can tell that the staff want the customers to have an authentic experience. I got the fried chicken sandwich and my partner got buffalo wings. Absolutely everything on the sandwich was fresh from the lettuce and tomato to the sauce. The wings here are like no other, they are practically boneless with a crispy exterior that makes them absolutely perfect. Strong hearts is also very inclusive of those with dietary restrictions, including a menu of gluten free and vegan options. Overall the entire experience here was amazing and I will definitely be a frequent customer

Wendy was awesome and fun, provided us with endless amounts of gluten as requested and deserves a big raise!

Great place to visit, the food was very good and super tasty. My wife has a celiac disease, and I am happy to report she had no issues with this place, and felt great after eating there. The place is small and can get very loud, kinda hard to talk to the people that you are eating with. Also, they did mess up our order and got us 2 of the ribs instead of what we ordered, but it was still very tasty. Overall very good place to go and eat, good atmosphere, music a bit too LOUD! Prices are good, we were 4 people had food and drinks and the bill was around $100 ( not including tip). Recommend.

Great gluten free waffles. Get the brie bacon and basil waffle. Be sure to try their house sauce/syrup.

Things to know: Slaw = Raw Cabbage (for texture! No Mayo. This is a good thing). Allergies = Super friendly. Clearly marked on all menu items; able to alter order for GF/DF for my wife who has Celiac. Ambiance = bomb. Music was straight passion pit and phoenix. Bob’s burgers on the TV. Chattering teeth toys hanging from the ceiling. What more can you ask for? Service = incredible. Andrea was knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and struck a great balance between making sure we had what we needed right away and leaving us be so we could enjoy our food. Her recommendations were spot on. Prices/portions = also spot on. Happy Hour = Half priced beer every day 4-7pm. It’s also not busy at all. Come here then. Creole Fish & General Tso’s Shrimp Tacos = to die for. Literally. The shrimp taco was so spicy it almost killed me. I loved every minute of it. Fly Bird = Nothing to write home about. This was my first visit and I hope I just caught them on a bad day, but I expected fresh tenders and these seemed like they were frozen/overly breaded. I’ll try again before I write it off wholesale. Redemption: the Fly Bird Custom Sauces were great and worth the extra $1.50. Try the Banana Pepper Honey Mustard. Perfect blend of sweet and spicy.
