Egg, sausage, fruit and English muffin was delicious!

Tucked in the farmers market is Holy Crepes! A fabulous find while on our NO adventure. Great choice of savory and sweet (gluten free is an option). We went sweet with Elvis and Pralines both were delicious! Take the trolly down Canal to this hidden gem.

Extremely knowledgeable servers and chefs! Delicious food and extensive wine list. Door (not sure how this should be spelled) and Miss Jackie made sure my meal was Celiac-safe. Such a pleasure eating somewhere they honestly care about serving a Celiac patron safely. Highly recommend.

The food and service were fantastic. I had an excellent meal. All of the fried seafood is gluten free. This place is a gem. Best seafood in NOLA.

I really enjoyed the food here and was so grateful to find a place that had a lot of gluten free options. I was able to try gumbo and gf beignets (calas) and they were very delicious 😊 the service was also pretty quick and friendly.

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and I have to say my experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, and the food? Simply amazing. Every dish had such bold, unique flavors, and I really appreciated the wide variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options on the menu. I ordered the Crab Scramble with vegan eggs, which was packed with flavor. I also got a side of the bison sausage it was my first time trying bison. While I personally prefer chicken or seafood over red meat, the sausage was still well-seasoned and tasty, with subtle notes of onion and bell pepper (not sure if that was intentional, but it worked!). My mom ordered the Shrimp and Grits, and I got to try a bite and wow. It was a flavor explosion. I've never tasted anything quite like it before rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. We all shared the Bananas Foster Pancakes, which were sweet but not overpowering, with a unique flavor that really stood out. I also tried their Iced Matcha Latte delicious and classic in taste. If you're looking for a traditional, less-sweet matcha, this is the one for you. My cousin ordered the Cat Daddy Biscuit, and once again great flavors, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was on point. My aunt went with the Bearcat Breakfast, a more traditional option, but she swapped in the bison sausage, and it paired beautifully with the eggs and potatoes. The only downside? Parking can be a bit tricky, and there might be a wait ours was about an hour. But trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Next time I'm in New Orleans, I’ll be back without a doubt!

Great place for someone with celiac, gluten intolerance or allergy. The GF onion rings were amazing! The service was slow, but there was only one person waiting on the entire restaurant and every table was full.

Brian the server and young architect: My wife and I have worked in fine dining, Ruth's Chris and Brennan's, New Orleans; most servers find a way to irk me and disappoint. Brian's service was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly without getting in the way of our date. Food: You can scarcely complain about any of the creole and New Orleans fusion served at Eliza; we have been loyal in particular for the gluten free fried seafood. For such a high quality place, however, I was disappointed to learn they are still using the industrial biproduct, "vegetable" oil, in their fryer instead of beef tallow or at least refined peanut oil (which does *not* cause allergic reactions). I selfishly hope Eliza's can commit to clean oils in their kitchen, so they can once again be our go-to for fried seafood and perfect destination to show out of town friends a refined but casual experience of excellent south Louisiana fare.

Loved our meal!! Gluten free fried seafood combo, and gluten free fried artichokes with marinara - all tasty, amazing!! Even better, after being my messy self our waitress offered me the use of her Tide to Go stick, amazing service. I love this place!

Ali Swiatkowski

As a vegetarian with Celiac Disease, I felt so comfortable ordering from their menu since everything is gluten free. Our food was delicious and the staff was extremely attentive. Prices were also bery reasonable. My husband who eats gluten and meat said his food was also phenomenal, so highly recommended for everyone!

Ordered the burger, medium rare, and it was burnt. Order a gluten-free bun, which is normally good, but this one was so hard. I couldn’t bite into it. Ordered the chard cauliflower and it was barely cooked. Complete waste of money.

Mic Reich

Omg. This place was amazing. Great cocktails and an abundance of gf Snack/ bar menu options. Including fries, spicy kimchi fries, and wings that were all stunning. My group of 11 literally ordered dishes over and over again to share. The only dish bit be ordered multiple times? The one dish with gluten.

Tracy Franks-Blanchard

Definitely will be back to try some of the other entrees on the menu. The pork tamale was so tender, the birria and cheese enchiladas were perfection. Hubby recommends the Mexican Stir-fry with the protein trio of chicken, shrimp, and steak. I did steal a shrimp to check for myself. The grill on it made the flavor pop. They can cater to just about any restrictions too. They have keto, vegetarian, and gluten free menus. When you go, ask for Dallas. He delivers top notch service!

Kerri Lorigan

Outstanding GLUTEN-FREE fried chicken and salt and vinegar string fries. We sat ourselves in the semi-enclosed private room on the second floor, which was comfortable, allowed us to hear the live music and talk comfortably with one another. The cocktails were delightful and interesting!

Kim Slone

Amazing and delicious!! Had plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Ragan Everett

Gluten free options for the win!! And it was delicious.

April C

We went here specifically for gluten free food. The owner was there and super friendly. We ordered gluten free fried green tomatoes, shrimp, crayfish, catfish, pickles, and fries. The coating/breading was light and airy. We were the only ones in the restaurant. It was a little awkward, quiet, and dark.

Matthew Enderle

My wife has a gluten allergy and did not get sick here. When she eluded being allergic, Micah promptly gave her a special menu. She got the Goodnight burger as a bowl and I got the Doddy Melt. Both were delicious. When she wanted a side of ranch, Micah let her know it had jalapenos in it. She is NOT a spicy fan, but said it was delicious but hot. We saved this place in our "To Revisit" list and will be back for sure.

Jason C

Great restaurant with authentic food and amazing service! Could accommodate my gluten allergy which I sincerely appreciate :-). Steak frites and eggs are fire 🔥

Brandi Miller

This is a 100% dedicated gluten free restaurant with arguably the best food, whether you are eating gluten free or not. Their menu clearly states everything used is gluten free, which if you have Celiac, you know the appreciation for that alone. If you’re in the area, take the time to make a stop here…you won’t regret it! It is a sit down, nicer restaurant so take that into account. Ordering to-go might be an option if you are looking to get back on the road when traveling through. They also sell jars of their green and red salsa…worth buying to take along!

I was super excited to come as you hear and read so much history about this place. It was everything I was told and imagined. The first thing you see and feel when walking in is the history this place has. All the staff was exceptional and on point! And the food, the foor was fantastic. Our table had the fried chicken, which was finger lickin excellence. For one order they were able to make it gluten free for my mom!! The Stewed chicken was absolutely delicious! And the same for the Shrimp Clemenceau. This place is a must come and repeat!!

EJ Martin

It was my first, and unfortunately, last visit to this restaurant. I ordered gluten-free cauliflower with fries, an additional order of cauliflower, and one of their pasta dishes. The cauliflower and fries were for me. It was absolutely delicious. There were rave reviews for the Cajun pasta as well. I gave a 3 star review because the cauliflower was not gluten-free and made me very, very sick. If you have a gluten sensitivity or celiac's, beware. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for this error. Please be mindful of this when filling orders. This could land someone in the hospital.

Tiffany Woods

They have a dedicated fryer and many GF options. The tacos are awesome!

Casey Norlin

New Orleans locals and can easily say this was the best meal we’ve had in months. Absolutely excellent. We got happy hour drinks at the bar (3-5pm on Sun) and then transitioned to the restaurant dining room for dinner. We split the duck with sweet potato hash and the scallops with crab hash. Both absolutely INCREDIBLE. Also, for my allergy peeps, many menu items were dairy free & gluten free - they have a designated gluten free fryer.
