Rarely do I sit after a meal and have to leave a review immediately. I’ve been gluten free for about three years and there are things I miss desperately, like a good waffle. They’re always so grainy and dense. Not here! This is legitimately the best waffle I’ve ever had. Not just gluten free, just the best. Period. The cider is amazing, servers are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is super chill. Emily, our server, could answer all our questions and was very knowledgeable. My wife had the fish and chips and the fish was also gluten free - the batter was perfectly crispy and a great fish to batter ratio. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Really neat place. Waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable! My 8 year old who has gluten and dairy allergies was able to enjoy a “normal” sandwich and Root beer float! He was on cloud 9!!

CELIAC FRIENDLY!!!! thank the lord they had an entirely separate gluten free menu. The staff are knowledgeable on celiac versus gluten free and knew what we could/couldn’t have. I will say it is a little pricey around 25$ for the omelet and a coffee with oat milk. The coffee was great not too sweet but not bitter either! Super friendly and inviting atmosphere. Def recommend coming here

Very cool restaurant with an awesome whiskey selection and very cool reasonably priced cocktails. In fact, the entire menu is reasonably priced especially for a place right across from the ballpark. Service was fantastic as well! Super impressed with our server and drinks and food came out quickly. I got the three meat sampler and overall it was good. The brisket and pulled pork were excellent and the sides (coleslaw, potato salad, and popover) were great as well. The ribs however, were almost inedible. They were so over cooked and borderline burned. They were also so small and had almost no meat on them. Incredibly disappointing. Can’t give a BBQ restaurant more than 4 stars with that kind of miss on the ribs. Also of note. the person I was dining with is gluten intolerant and asked for the gluten free menu (super cool they have a special menu!) However, the only difference between the regular BBQ combo and the gluten free combo is that the gluten free one doesn’t include the popover and the combo was still the same price…that’s a little perplexing…I would think that if the meal didn’t include something the price would be a little less.

WOW! As a gluten-free free person with celiacs, it’s hard to find a delicious dinner out that’s not bland or just a salad with chicken or protein added. I’ve tried several restaurants as I like to eat out sometimes and feel normal. I tried the “Assorted Wild Mushrooms & Pecorino Polenta” and added steak. OMG! I was transferred to another planet! I almost cried it was so good! I’m pretty sure it was the best meal I’ve had in the last 10 years after finding out I had to eat #gf. I cannot wait to eat it again and think of it every day as I’m drinking my morning coffee. Im pretty sure I would feel the same way eating it even if I wasn’t GF and didn’t know it was GF. Now that’s a huge deal! Man, was it good! Talk about amazing comfort delicious food!

My lover and i visit Jeni’s at least once a week and i often find myself comparing any other ice cream to theirs.. Ordering four scoops in one dish to share brings the price to about $9 before tip which is an absolute steal for what you get. No other ice cream can compare flavor or texture wise!! It isn’t even an issue to order all scoops in the same dish because their melt time is surprisingly slow. They also have an array of gluten and dairy free options which i find myself ordering and not even realizing!!! My favorite combo is the salted peanut butter with chocolate flakes with their birthday cake. Truly magic in your mouth

My daughter and I arrived during lunch time on a Friday and as expected the store was busy. Staffing was adequate and we placed our orders quickly. We only had 1 person ahead of us in the wait line. Food arrived at our table quickly and completely correct. Love that they offer gluten free buns so my daughter can eat there.

Brisket is fire. Service is great, but I was annoyed by the staff member who kept referring to me as "friend" (I don't even know her). The atmosphere is fine, not special but clean. Baked beans and fries are also very good. I have a gluten allergy and don't get sick eating here!!

I ordered cookies for a large group and one person was gluten free. There was no marking or separate packaging for the gluten free cookies and they looked the same as the regular chocolate chip. You can’t advertise something if you’re not actually offering it!!! I don’t know if the workers were just being lazy or weren’t trained on allergens but this could have made her really sick.

This evening we went in there and we have an 8 year old that has a gluten allergy and the guy that helped us (I wish I would have gotten his name) was amazing! He went and got a separate tray to put her ice cream on and then he got her toppings out of the back so they were not cross contaminated. We appreciate that more than he could ever know and so did she. Way to go!!!! We will be back!

I will admit prior to today I haven’t actually spent much time in the dog town neighborhood but now I have a reason and it’s Alibi Cookies 📍1136 Tamm Avenue Ordered : Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Red Velvet Cookie Deluxe Apple Pie Fruity Pebble Milkshake all of the cookies are great but the Deluxe Apple Pie is in a different caliber. The rolled oats create this really fresh essence and compliment the flaky crust. Then as you get towards the heart of the cookie you taste chunks of apple , and you’re hit with an ooze of gooey caramel and you’re hooked. This damn cookie needs its own commercial 🔥 The fruity pebble milkshake is top notch. Outside of the cereal flavor there is a dominant sugar cookie presence so as you’re drinking the shake you’re literally tasting the warm and buttery pieces of cookies. I have no idea how many calories I consumed and I really don’t care I would do it all again. These are the best cookies in Saint Louis

I had heard nothing but great things. I decided to come as they had gluten free options and it’s rare to find a place with a GF hot dog bun. The gentleman who took our order was very nice and the food came out efficiently. The taste of the food (2 dogs and a brat, two fries) were great, my nieces enjoyed theirs a lot. Mine tasted great, although the GF option isn’t really a hot dog bun…it was more like a sub sandwich bun. Within an hour of leaving this place I was SO SICK. Nausea and severe stomach pains - which is what happens if I am accidentally exposed to a fair amount of gluten. While I understand this is not a dedicated gluten free restaurant, I have eaten at many other places that are not either. I suspect Steve’s Hot Dog cross contamination practices are very lax & this is disappointing. If you’re going to offer GF items, you need to be knowledgeable and attempt to at least not make people sick! Before we left, we waited to use the rest room (one was out of order). An employee came out and he had the worst smelling B.O. I have ever experienced. We were gagging in the bathroom. It sort of grosses you out when you know someone is working in the kitchen and they have a body odor issue like that.
