Amazing menus that you would not know was over 90% gluten free. This is how it should be done. Most people just go here because the food is great, and those of us who can’t eat at most restaurants can just be like a normal customer here.

Delicious safe gluten free food. Burger had THE BEST GF bun I have ever had. Alexis who helped us order was knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure I had a safe dining experience.

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!

Amber Easterling

Absolutely everything on the menu is gluten free except the empanadas! They can make those in flautas form though! It’s so nice to go to a restaurant and be able to order almost everything on the menu!

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.

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.

The service here was the absolute worst. We ordered chips and queso and it went to the wrong table and when we asked they said it was coming. We literally never got them in spite of asking another time. Then we got a taco with a flour tortilla in spite of telling them it was needed to be gluten free and specifying only corn tortillas. It was sent back and then 10 min later it came back with 2 flour tortillas. My poor daughter had no meal since they couldn’t get it right. I never got my tea drink as well. We’ve never had such slow and poor service. We asked for the manager and she never came over to see us. The waiter apologized and said the food items were taken off the bill to which we said that’s good since they either never came to the table or were inedible. Will never go here again!!!

I recently had the chance to experience Ted’s Montana Grill in Waverly as a hosted guest, and this scratch-made kitchen delivers on flavor. Ted’s is a smaller national chain with about 38 locations, but they focus on quality ingredients and an elevated take on American comfort food. Bison is the star of the show. I started with a tasting of several appetizers and complementary house pickles. While Ted’s isn’t a seafood spot, they still served up a solid St. Phillip’s Island Crab Cake. It had minimal filler, which I appreciated, but I prefer a lumpier texture and a bigger portion. That said, this is a meat restaurant, so let them shine with their strengths. The Bison Nachos were dangerously good. They are gluten-free and absolutely smothered in cheese and bison meat. I had to pace myself because I knew more food was coming, but these could easily be a meal on their own. The Grilled Shrimp on Ciabatta was another great starter. The shrimp were plump and juicy, seasoned with Ted’s proprietary blend, and served on garlic-toasted ciabatta with lemon compound butter. I normally do not like cauliflower, but the Cauliflower Fritters completely won me over. These cheesy, crispy bites were incredibly addicting. I kept going back for more. This dish is a chef’s special, so it is not always on the menu, but if you see it, order it. Ted’s is known for its bison burgers, so I had to try a couple. The Smash Burger is a limited-time chef’s special available until March 16, 2025. It comes with American cheese, spicy pickles, and a scratch-made ranch onion dip. The flavor was spot on, but I prefer a little more caramelization and crispy edges on my smash burgers. I would still order it again. The Canyon Creek Burger takes things up a notch with cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeño, blackberry jam, and a fried egg. The combination of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors worked well together. The onion rings that came with it were some of the best I have had. Ted’s excels in bison dishes, and the Bison Short Ribs were a standout. The bones slid out clean, and the meat was incredibly tender. It came with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a house roll for the perfect comfort meal. The Bison Filet was another highlight. I ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. Bison has a richer, slightly sweeter taste than beef, and this filet was exceptionally tender. I paired it with carrots and asparagus, which balanced the richness nicely. I always save room for dessert, the Kahlua Fudge Brownie which was served hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream. I could have eaten five of these. No notes, just perfection. I was also told to try the Apple Pecan Crisp which was full of warm spiced fall flavors, with a buttery oat and pecan topping over tart Granny Smith apples. If you love cozy desserts, get this before it rotates off the menu for strawberry season. Ted’s Montana Grill has something for everyone. They are great at accommodating allergies, so let your server know and they will work directly with the chef. They also offer mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages, which is a nice touch. Next time you are in Waverly, you will probably find me at Ted’s.

This is hands down my favorite gluten-free restaurant in Charlotte. The globe trotter wrap is my favorite. They do not have bread but the wraps are delicious. They even let me do the smash burger on a wrap and it was amazing. They also have byo margs & espresso martinis. BEST espresso martini I’ve ever had in my life!

Shayna Grogan

Service was 100% (Kaitlyn C.!) Drinks were on point as well. Hot fresh food. Vegan and gluten free options. Server asked us while we ordered drinks if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Our first time and surely not our last!

André Schleich

Stef Nedy

Kate McGuire

Our server Alexandra was fabulous! She was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed during our meal. The gluten free chicken wrap was great but the breakfast potatoes are by far my new favorite!! We also had the build your own omelet and breakfast bowl. 10/10 will be visiting again!

I have Celiac so am strictly Gluten Free. This is a great spot to get Gluten Free fried Chicken in Charlotte. However, they most recently messed up my order completely. After specifying I had celiac, they decided to put bread under each piece of chicken. Very disappointing experience overall. Don't really understand how they can't communicate that to the chef well. Had I not noticed the bread underneath the food, it could've easily gone unnoticed and gotten me very sick through cross-contamination.
