Wonderful gluten-free menu.

Always visit a few times a week when we are on the island. Always knowledgeable and the entire family enjoys while keeping our family member safe.

Absolutely great for gluten free food. Lots of options on the menu and my food came out marked with an allergy flag. I got the portobello mushroom sandwich and sweet potato fries. Both were excellent. However I am knocking off one star due to the fact the GF buns are awful. The texture isn't good and it started falling apart within a few bites. Switch to a better GF bun and this place would be 5 star. Definitely sit outside if you can as the atmosphere is entertaining (we had a cellist set up and play during our dinner!) Would eat here again without hesitation.

Awesome place. Especially for celiacs. A little pricey—but the food was worth it. Excellent customer service. Great tasting and fresh food. Will come again. Recommend it. (Sad we didn’t do the karaoke.)

My Husband is Gluten Free and this came up on the internet. Was perfect opens at 5.00pm and after walking miles around this glorious town we were ready for an early supper. Welcome excellent, lovely table in the window. Small menu but well thought out. We both had the Salmon bowl. Oh my the tastes exploded on your tongue. Waitress excellent. This restaurant is excellent.

Surviving of unsuspecting tourist! The gluten free pancakes were nasty, very dry and tasteless. I got then banana foster and that was plain uncooked banana’s with whip cream and plain syrup. My husband ordered seafood omelette and their seafood is not fresh. His shrimp was hard! WOW! This place was a mistake. The waitress did not present well either. Your better off going to IHOP!

Janet Gidley

Extremely cute atmosphere with gluten-free availability and the food was great. Also catered to my granddaughter who is dairy free we love the place.

Heather Foster

Amazing gluten free buns, burgers and chicken straps all delicious. Whole family loved! Highly recommend.

Victoria Neff

This is a MUST GO for people with celiac. I had the best experience. They have a gluten free menu, just have to ask for it. And it has plenty of options from the main menu that you can have. Our waiter was very thoughtful and even put my husband’s croutons on the side of his salad just in case we shared it. When my food came each time, he acknowledged the safety of my meal to me. The place is a little upscale but laid back at the same time.

Audrey Pacheco

Unfortunately we will never advise anyone with celiac to eat here. We read all the reviews and decided to stop in. My Daughter who is celiac ordered the salmon from the gluten free menu and still got gluten. She was sick for days

Cara M

Gluten free paradise! Totally celiac safe crepes and 100% delicious! I wish I could take this whole restaurant home with me. You should eat here!

kenzie crissman

Highly recommend! The manager personally takes allergy orders and notes them on a large red slip, making sure they’re handled with care. There are so many gluten-free options available, way more than you’d typically find at most places. And did not get sick. These are the (small) nachos with grilled chicken. Super yummy.

Liz Thornell

Our server Ernesto was great and the food was delicious! They were also very knowledgeable on celiac/gluten allergies and have a dedicated fryer and section of the kitchen!

Tracy Johnson

As someone with Celiac Disease, eating out is VERY limited! I am grateful for Grill Marks. Been to Greenville and Columbia multiple times over the past decade. I have never had an issue with gluten cross-contamination here! I appreciate the fries, etc are also dedicated gluten free. My burger is always cooked as ordered. For the price, the value of food quality and service level are completely on par. I will continue to return and if I have a singular experience below the norm, I will still give them another shot!

Destine Spells

Absolutely amazing, everything taste good. I got a variety of things because I do not live there but I am certainly glad I did. If I could order online I would an have it right to my door all the time ! All the gluten free items are yummyyyy

Makayla Deyling

WOW!! LOVE!! came here from Ohio on vacation and will be back before we leave in a week (lol). Paige was amazing, attentive & came back at the perfect times. She offered a gluten free menu to me & manager Chris was HILARIOUS & so kind, would come back just to see Chris. Amazing food and atmosphere.

Elizabeth Howlett

Excellent! Our family of five loved everything that we ordered! We have a daughter with a gluten allergy (Celiac Disease) and she enjoyed the fried shrimp so much! She is always so excited when there is a dedicated GF fryer to enjoy safe, fried GF options. She had no reaction afterwards and asked to go back again. Thank you!

Scott Cowling

Almost everything is naturally gluten free! The brisket arepa is to die for. Super savory!

Bonnie Hahn

As someone with celiac disease i love going somewhere where I can enjoy a good meal with family and friends

Asia Isadore

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Hard Rock Café in Myrtle Beach! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the grilled chicken wings and the Southwestern Bowl with grilled chicken, and both were flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. What truly made this visit stand out was the exceptional service. A supervisor named Dianne stopped by my table to personally explain how certain items from the gluten-free menu were prepared. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable with how things were cooked and whether certain preparation methods would meet my needs. I’ve never had anyone at any restaurant go out of their way like that to make sure I felt safe, heard, and completely satisfied when ordering gluten-free. The care, attention, and genuine hospitality Dianne showed truly made this experience unforgettable. I left not only full but also genuinely impressed and appreciative. I will absolutely be back!

Out late on a late night date w the hubs in his hometown and looking to NOSH!! This place was recommended by our rickshaw driver strolling down King street. This place is SUPER CUTE!! We actually had passed by it and didn’t even notice!! 😵‍💫 Accross from the Apple Store; with kitschy-modern vibes we loved it as soon as we walked in! 90s tunes wash over us as we enter and we are taken back to simpler days; when we were young and without the cares of kids and adulting. Our server Katie greets us as we sit down at our cozy little booth - she is Super Cute and upbeat! We love her energy! And she knows her Sh*%#! She thoroughly explains how things work in her world, and we know exactly what to expect and respect how much she loves what she does! She educates us on the freshness of the E back bar ingredients? As well as that we should expect the highest of quality Ingredients in the tacos and such as well! We also love that these tacos are served street tacos style and explains that each will be 2-3 bites. This is very helpful in Gauging how many we should order! We decide to get a little of everything! The cucumber salad and sliced cucumbers came first. Then came the Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl - The Baja fish tacos - in CA they are usually grilled. But here they are fried. I was skeptical but when I added the jalapeño sauce and took a bite MAN!! So lite and flaky!! Fish was tender and the batter was melt in your mouth! Not at All great! And not breast either! Katie explained later that it is a tempera rice batter and that it’s gluten free. Super lite and DELISH!! The addition of the slaw gives it just the right vinegar mayo kick as well YUM 🤤 The mushroom taco is very light and mild. Bits of mushroom; they tasted like shiitake or even just an umami mix including some king mushrooms even had a very mild and meaty texture and mild flavor. I added the rojo sauce for a bit of a kick. The given tortilla adding the perfect nuttiness. The crispy shrimp taco uses the same lite tempura batter. This batter has a little kick to it. Not sure if they add something else to the batter to make it slightly different than the fish but it’s slightly spicier. Which I Loved. We eat a lot of spicy foods and I loved this one. I ate this with the cucumber salad as well for more of a crunch factor. The pork belly taco had a bit of a crunchy pork skin bite to it, and the porky goodness that you can ONLY get from pork belly!!! This one was next level taco yumminess!!! We ate this one with the Happy Habanero sauce and let me tell you - NO. This one you hafta taste for yourself to believe!!! PORK BELLY. NEED I SAY MORE??? Now we had also ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna Taco but we had forgotten about it and the kitchen had also forgotten about it , so by the time they brought it out we were so stuffed we didn’t get to try it before my review. I’ll try to update this tho once I try it! It looked awesome, and I will include the picture! The only thing the hubs wasn’t too impressed with was the bulgogi bowl. The bees was sliced too thinly he said and was a bit dry. He expected more juiciness. Especially for bulgogi and I hafta agree on that - having had a LOT of bulgogi in my lifetime lol. I LOVED the kimchi and spinach in the bowl tho and helped him to polish those off. 😝 Oh!!! We also tried some agua fresca - the Berry Colada which was FANTASMIC I cannot say this enough. This drink tasted of fresh coconut water, blueberries and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Not sure if that’s the mix but that’s what it tasted like to me. It was so refreshing and didn’t make me feel light headed like fruit juice normally does. The hubs has a Tito’s n Grapefruit juice which he absolutely LOVED. We were really impressed with Bartaco! Late night nosh as its finest! And Thanks again Ms Katie!

DEDICATED FRYER!!! That should say enough for you to get over there! But, their bang bang shrimp (crispy gluten free tempura battered, fried in a dedicated fryer) was delicious! With a sweet Thai chili and spicy mayo drizzle. The fish tacos (gf battered, fried fish - or can be grilled) with a creamy slaw and corn tortillas served with crispy fry/chips were awesome! I had seen a review talking about lack of flavor - don’t listen to that. Could it use a pinch more salt? Sure. But it was incredibly flavorful, hot and so deliciously crispy, GF fried fish and shrimp! Wonderful experience! I recommend putting in a reservation to sit on the deck to make sure you get a spot outside!

Kate MacDonald

We were on a mission to try She Crab soup while visiting the Charleston area and found Halls! I am gluten free and we struggled to find any restaurants that had authentic GF She Crab soup. We ate at the bar as we were not up for a full meal. Our service was very attentive, the environment was great and the soup and drinks were top notch. If you are looking for high quality food and service and have any dietary restrictions I definitely recommend visiting Halls!

Plenty of gluten free options

Deanna Anderson

Always friendly and accommodating. Something for everyone and they have a celiac friendly fryer.

Ashley K

My mistake was ordering over the phone, the order was messed up. But worse I told her gluten free and I was severely glutened:( though the menu has GF items there is a disclaimer to eat at your own risk- don’t just don’t risk it not worth it, and the fees are outrageous, I do NOT recommend

Rebecca Click

Food and service were both excellent! I have a gluten allergy and they made sure my meal was safe. Very clean!

Meadow Park Leasing

Came here with a friend after some folks from my community recommended it. Overall, my experience here were terrible. Im celiac, so I ordered from the gluten free menu, got sick. before leaving. As I were told, the people in the pool area can get a bit rowdy. Well, they were rude to my friend, but they seemed to be pretty drunk too so. Speaking of, the drinks were the best thing aside from the nachos. Upon arriving home, my friend decided to heat up some of the mac n cheese, well; she started eating it and came across what looked like plastic from maybe platsticware wraps. Looked like it couldve been what the cheese were in. I'll never come here again, maybe for an event. But, my first impression of the place was terrible. The service could've been alot better. Update: threw it away but I want to upload a picture of what was in the GF Mac n cheese Update: I got refunded and was told that the plastic came from the cheese sauce. The lady we spoke to apologized and assured us she didn’t know how it got in my food.

Stopped in on Sunday on the way home from camping. We ordered 6 gluten free donuts to go. The box seriously was so heavy which I should have thought something was off from that. The donuts were cold and were completely dense and rock hard. They crumbled like sand. Worse gf donuts I’ve ever experienced. We’ve been to a different location and they were good so I’m not sure what went wrong here.

Lauren Drakulic

A wonderful breakfast experience! The gluten free French toast was delicious!! All food was great. Very accommodating to GF, will be back.

Lindsey Aponte

Everyone was so kind and upbeat, the food was incredible, and as a gluten free girly I felt very safe and catered to! Our server Janae even had my husband’s fries put in the gluten free fryer so I could steal a few 🤭 10/10 will be back again and again!

Rebekah Spencer

Husband is gluten free and had a lot of options available for him. All of our food was delicious and staff was very friendly!

Heather Lawrence

An absolutely must stop for gluten-free individuals! They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer! But my husband and dad aren’t gluten-free and made happy plates! Our meals were amazing and the service is top notch! They have put a lot of attention into updating their dining room to make the atmosphere relaxing and hip. Definitely a must visit!

Tootsie Roll Patrol

Doughnuts were so tasty. This is doughnuts made while you wait! Toppings are super clever and creative. This is a perfect morning breakfast stop or an anytime-I-need-a-doughnut stop. They also have gluten free doughnuts for you poor souls who can't eat the good stuff.

Ashley Peeples

We looked up gluten-free restaurants in the area. This is the first one that popped up. I would say the food was good. Service took a while since it’s a small indoor only restaurant.

Will Hines

Great food. I have food allergies (gluten and dairy) and they took great care of me!

Daniela D

I was there with my daughter who has some food allergies. They make any dishes on their menu to your liking. She had the linguine which they were able to make gluten free and duck breast with simple spices as she wanted. They make wonderful dishes here. This was not the first time we had dinned here but unfortunately it might be out last due to their parking. When we got to our car it had a boot on it. The owner of the lot thought we were dishonest people and called the authorities to boot our car. I still had to pay the fine to get it off. Please be careful when you park here. It's a good thing that Charleston has other restaurants that are even better then this one. Thank you

Courtney Sprayberry

Love this place! And a haven for Gluten Free folks, as they have dedicated fryers for the empanadas. The salsas are incredible and they’re always so friendly. 5 stars all around!

jenn 13

I’m not gluten free but the crepes are! As a gluten eater, I wouldn’t have known the difference and my sausage gravy crepes were delectable! I think the spot is so cute. It is a bit crowded in the line to order but it gives you time to stare at the delicious bakery items they offer. I tried a lemon cookie and vanilla confetti cupcake with chocolate frosting. Both were perfection. My mom and I travel together and always try out bakeries wherever we go and this one just moved to the top 3 on my list. The menu has both sweet and savory crepes and it seems the menu changes seasonally. There was a little bit of a wait for my food to arrive but it was a nice day and I sat outside with an iced tea. All of the workers seemed happy and friendly. My only complaint is how I’m now craving everything on the menu lol. I will be back soon!

April Evans

The food is fresh and excellent, the service is prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere is energetic and upbeat. We have a family member who has Celiac disease and Chuy's was able to prepare a truly gluten-free meal for him. Many places are unable to accommodate those with specific dietary restrictions, so this was a much-appreciated service that allowed us to celebrate together. We love Chuy's and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Oliver Mullarkey

Very friendly staff, they did great with my gluten allergy. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of options for me! I got moist brisket and baked beans (with brisket) and a drink, both were delicious however the brisket was on the dryer side and I do wish the beans had more brisket in them, I had maybe 3 strings of meat in my serving. Great variety of sauces also!! Overall I’d come here again for a quick and solid $20 meal

Russell Vickery

Great place to eat, food great and service great!! They have alot of gluten free optiona and staff is knowledgeable about the allergy.

Brian P.

Tasty food and drinks served quickly. Endlessly customizable options. Yummy chips and salsa. Gluten free available. Maybe not kid friendly menu. Can be loud. Indoor and outdoor seating. Usually can find free parking in the back lot.

kent mcwilliams

One of my all-time favorite places to consistently come back to. They have a menu with plenty of variety. I will continue to come back here routinely. As an added bonus, they have a gluten free menu with many options.
