Oh my gosh...soooo good and safe place to eat! The banana bread waffle almost made me cry because it was delicious!! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely the best gf and vegan desserts I’ve ever had. I am celiac and have dairy/egg allergies and it’s near impossible to find a spot that has great desserts. I’m in Nashville for vacation from NJ and wanted to find a spot I could enjoy on vacation. The service was absolutely amazing, and the desserts event better. HIGHLY recommend!

Liked 3 of the 4 items that we purchased. Veggie Quiche, Lemon bars, and mixed berry scone were okay. Although, the only berry we found was blackberry. The sausage cheddar scone had a very dry and sandy texture which is surprising, especially since everything is gluten-free. I would think that they would have gotten the texture better.

I went to the Italian feast dining event and had the best time! Every course was delicious and everyone was very kind. My friend had the gluten free option and she loved hers as much as I did. If you go to the feast, I wouldn’t plan on going anywhere after because you’ll have plenty of leftovers!

Susan Eckelman

This was a lovely surprise! On our way through Nashville, We held over for a night just to try out this gluten feee bakery! And boy are we glad we did!! Delicious sweets! French crueller, Boston creme, pop-tarts, cinnamon rolls, pretzel bites, oatmeal creme pie, scones, apple fritter and more! For savory the had a chicken sausage, egg and cheese biscuit! Delicious! They are only open three days a week. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So plan accordingly. Also, it appears that they take holiday breaks too. At 30 day increments. So make sure that they are not closed if you are planning!!

Lively spot in Nashville that combines great food with a fun, energetic vibe, True Food Kitchen is where you need to be! The atmosphere here is the perfect blend of casual and trendy—think bright, open spaces, vibrant décor, and a menu that makes healthy eating feel exciting and indulgent at the same time. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy. The place is bustling with life but still manages to have a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can catch up with friends over delicious, health-conscious food or enjoy a solo meal with some killer people-watching. As for the food? It’s incredible. I love that True Food Kitchen offers a ton of fresh, flavorful options for all kinds of diets—whether you're gluten-free, vegan, or just looking for something that’s packed with nutrients and flavor. The Spaghetti Squash Casserole is a must-try, and their Edamame Guacamole with crispy chips is the perfect snack to start things off. Even better, the staff is super friendly and enthusiastic about the food, offering great recommendations and making sure you feel taken care of. It's clear that everyone here is passionate about healthy, flavorful food that doesn’t sacrifice taste for nutrition. Whether you're there for a brunch date, a casual lunch with friends, or a solo dinner after a day of exploring Nashville, True Food Kitchen delivers. Delicious food, fun atmosphere, and the kind of vibe that makes you want to linger.

It feels like this is the kind of place where you have to know what is good and what isn’t—my husband had a burger bowl which was great and we both enjoyed it, but I got a hot chickn sandwich that was weirdly soft; the texture was off putting enough that I couldn’t tell if I didn’t actually like the flavors of it as a whole. We also got some cornbread which was an odd consistency, which we anticipated as it was gluten free, but it was also fairly bland, perhaps needing more salt? Because my husbands bowl was good I do think they probably have a lot of good options and we just chose poorly. The restaurant itself is casual and cute and we enjoyed the resident outdoor cats.

Jack Irwin

Very good dinner at Sixty Vines Monday night. The menu clearly identifies a large variety of gluten free options and the staff did well in asking about dietary restrictions. Had one of the best filets I’ve had in a while, along with a few vegetables on the side. Nice (but pricey) wine selection too. If you’re eating on broadway you’re likely going to have to spend a bit, but this is a great spot to treat yourself!

Mary Caldwell

They offer gluten free pasta!

Michelle DiDonato

Delicious! It’s nice to go to eat and have so many gluten free options! I enjoyed everything!

A gluten free goldmine! We found this place on our road trip from TX to NJ. We arrived about 10 minutes after they opened and happy we did because the line was almost to the door! After exploring the menu I understood the hype. As a celiac we are extremely limited on food options but this place left nothing out. In addition to an extensive coffee list there were cinnamon rolls, fried chicken, and biscuits and gravy to name a few. I was already in heaven. The woman at the register was so pleasant and hospitable informed everyone that they were a small operation and that there would be a short wait for some of the items as they were baking in the oven. Coffees came out quickly and food was a little bit after but I would’ve waited hours for what we were about to enjoy. Naturally I had to carb up with cinnamon rolls and biscuits and gravy. I will DREAM about these forever they were soooooo good. So good in fact we ordered cinnamon rolls to go. Show up early and don’t show up in a rush, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for our wonderful gluten free experience !

Bailey Connell

We recently moved to Nashville and are still finding the local haunts - we loved this spot! The ordering system is efficient, the food is well priced and fantastic. Service was also wonderful, our waiter was so friendly! Great place if you have a gluten allergy as well. Check out the pork belly and sesame ribeye tacos!! 🌮

Kelly Daubach

So good! Everything is from scratch except their gluten free bun. So much flavor and excellent service!!!

Robin LEE

Knowledgeable about celiac. Separate grill for GF and non GF. Almost all items can be made GF.

Ashley Wiley

My fave vegan restaurant in Chattanooga!! such great service, really good food and amazing desserts! the gluten free availability is also awesome

Syndel B Rasmussen

Myself and a family member went for his birthday. Our server Tracey is phenomenal. The food is great. They offered us a gluten-free menu which has a bunch of items on it. We even received a free Sundae for his birthday 🎈🎂🥳 10 out of 10. Loved it!

Heather Smith

The restaurant is open and a little bit loud. It was hard to carry on a conversation without yelling. The gluten free options were great. I had the ham eggs benedict with a gluten free english muffin and though the eggs were overcooked, it was still delicious. Highly recommend.

Marc Sing

Amazing food! It is busy on a Wednesday morning but definitely worth the wait. The gluten free options are phenomenal and everything tasted amazing! Glad we found this and they were so accommodating and knowledgeable about my wife’s Celiac.

Brianne Bloom

The gluten free pizza was really good. Everyone enjoyed their meal fully. The gluten free chocolate chip cookies are some of the best I've ever had. Thank you for an excellent lunch on our way to Gatlinburg for a family vacation.

Zenettra Lebby

Great experience and ice cream!! They walked us through the flavors and prices. It's also celiac friendly. :-)

Belle Bright

They have the most gluten free options of any place I’ve been. The best food and desserts. Gluten free key lime pie, and the gluten free pizza or sandwiches are always delicious.

Jasmine Cano

They have gluten-free options! The bread was big if you’re gluten-free, you know how important it is to have Good big fluffy bread. we’ll go every time in Nashville

Tapan

Grilled cashew cheese was really good, and so was the soup. Tons of gluten free and vegan options. Desserts are great, as are the smoothies. You order at the register, but they have menus at the front you can grab and look at before ordering. They also have an outside area, some of which is covered. Will definitely come back.

Kate Taber

Our favorite spot in Chattanooga! Whether you sit indoors or in the garden, it always feels like a little oasis. The food and cocktails are always amazing and the staff is wonderful. And there’s lots gluten free options!

Georgia Jones

Gluten free & dairy free options!! Icecream is great

Juliana Ryan

Made reservations.it was not too busy.service was wonderful.celiac friendly . We had Frenched chicken breast very strong on the ancho glazed but chicken cooked perfectly. Grilled filet mignonette was overcooked but more because I said medium instead of medium rare.

Nicki Pelfrey

I visited with Leslie today and she was so helpful! The food was absolutely delicious and I would recommend to anyone. I stayed there for almost an hour as she helped me through my new journey with celiac. I am so very thankful that I found her bakery!

Cathy Brummett

We happened upon this bakery traveling through Tennessee. I appreciated the gluten-free options. I had the Ruben sandwich with German potatoe salad my husband the pizza. Everything was delicious!!

Eduardo Padron

Fast and delicious. Good service. Standard dining area. Tasty burgers. Gluten free burger buns available.

Jacob Watson

Great food and great coffee! Great gluten free options!

Meghan Nash

One of my new favorite restaurants!! Our server (Emma) was outstanding and the food was really great! I have a gluten allergy and there were many choices for me to choose from. 10/10

Brittany Black

LOVED the food and all the healthy gluten free options!!! The frozen kombucha and kombucha on draft was delicious! We loved the concept here with all the fresh, local and organic. Open one in Troy Ohio!!! Unfortunately the restaurant can't help that many of the locals seemed to be rude and have a very snobby attitude but we enjoyed everything else about the place!

Stacey McD

OMG! Gluten-free biscuits that tasted like my mom’s! The restaurant is cute, and the staff is super-friendly! Thank you for a lovely brunch!

Patti Coble

I love love love Kooky Cookies! I have to follow a gluten free diet and these are THE BEST! The oatmeal cream stuffed cookies are my favorite, but I've never had anything from here I wouldn't buy again!

Daniel Batten

Incredible food. Helpful waitstaff. Pleasant, fun atmosphere. My girlfriend is gluten free and tries to limit dairy. It was easy to have a great GF meal, and their various sheep and goat milk/cheese dishes made it super easy to go low lactose, too. She’s very sensitive and says this is the best dinner she’s had in years. The portions were appropriate for the richness of the food, and we tried almost everything on the GF menu and both left satisfied (and pleasantly surprised by the bill). The pastel de chocolate was a delightful dessert, too.

Mary Nolan

Caroline Lugar

This restaurant is my favorite restaurant in the whole world. So many gluten-free options, which is totally amazing and important to me. The service is incredible and the weight staff really care about making their customers feel welcomed and taken care of. The food is delicious!!!!

Jenne Acevedo

What an incredible restaurant. We really enjoyed our dinner and were thankful they were open late since we came in after exploring the Smokies. I loved to watch him crack open my whole lobster to get the meat out for me. Lots of gluten free options. Fresh seafood. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

Fae Chrysalis

Had an issue today concerning the downtown location via door dash after eating here MANY times. The management at the West location and owner did a fantastic job problem solving and making us feel valid to want to come back again. Highly recommend for gluten free people's(I have celiac), and to support a locally owned and ran business. Thank you all.

Heather Dennis

Went there and my daughter loves it and had no reactions. She had fish taco which was made with rice flour and fired separate than the churros.

Cheri Cochran

The coffee was great but the pastries were even better! They have many gluten free options! The line was not terribly long but it still took quite a while to order—only one register in the place. Outdoor seating area is quite nice!

J D L

I was visiting the area, and a friend of mine recommended this place. The staff provided great service! I ordered the gluten-free nachos-everything was good, except the plant-based chorizo was a bit salty. To be fair, they acknowledged it and only charged me half, which I really appreciated. Great service overall!

Whitney Young

Location was clean and the staff was very pleasant! We were first time customers and they took their time to explain the menu. Everyone had a smile on their face and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The food was fresh and flavorful and prepared quickly. They also had a gluten free crust option and dairy free cheese available. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Roark Perry

We love Jeni's. We had the strawberry shortcake parfait and ordered it gluten-free. they made it on the back counter with fresh ice cream tubs and, of course, omitted the waffle wedge. It was excellent, and my wife with celiac was able to enjoy it without the fear of cross-contamination. They did an excellent job.

Zoe S

I have Celiac Disease and first time checking out this bakery while 🛍 in Downtown Franklin...Got several gluten-free options and to my surprise, what YUMMY desserts! I personally got to ENJOY each of them with NO issues later, which is a HUGE win! Their Peanut Butter Chocolate Bomb was such a delight that it was the 💣 as left me wanting more! 😋 I will definitely be back and highly recommend to check out this gem! 👌

Nancy Herrera

Cooper Cowan

This place is the real deal! My gf and I have eaten here twice in one day. Everything on the menu is delicious and the service is fantastic. Huge portions too. They are also very celiac friendly and I always feel safe when I eat here. Favorite restaurant in Knoxville!

Lyndsie Johnson

Richie G was our waiter and he was fantastic. My friend has a gluten allergy and he took it very serious and helped the best he could. The food was delicious, the bathrooms were clean, and Richie G kept the refills and fun coming!

c Phillips

They have hands down the best ice cream! They also offer Dole Whip. We have a gluten free member in our group who enjoyed the ice cream with no issues.

Elliott Franklin

Hogwood BBQ is a gem! Their commitment to quality shines through with no HFCS and gluten-free options. The flavors are outstanding, and their homemade BBQ sauces (both spicy and sweet) are a must-try. The friendly service makes every visit enjoyable, and we even trusted them with our Thanksgiving turkey – it was incredible! Highly recommend for any BBQ lover!
