Top 5 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Pendleton

Amazingly unique specialty pizzas. If I could give the Service 10 out of five stars I would. The young lady behind the counter was so incredibly delightful and accommodating. We didn’t realize we showed up minutes before they were supposed to close and she made us feel so welcome and ensured we did not feel like we were intruding as paying customers. She even welcomed us to sit inside the restaurant while we ate our food. The food was delicious. Even the gluten-free crust pizza was perfect. I’m not from this area, but I travel here from time to time, and I’m coming back for sure. I want to try more of the menu!!

This place was great! It has an outdoor patio area where we were able to eat our pizza and jam to the tunes; classical, jazz, along with some 70s and 80s music. The regular pizza and the gluten free pizza was the BEST! Definitely a must go to place!

We try to eat here for breakfast almost every week after church. The menu is very creative and delicious. I’ve had just about everything on the menu, but I always come back to the ‘How You Doin’ italian sandwich. Gluten Free bread is an option for any sandwich. Our daughter has celiac, so this is much appreciated. The wait can be a little long on Sundays after church, or in Clemson home game weekends, but it is worth it. Whether you’re in the mood for eggs, blueberry pancakes, avocado toast, a salad, burger or some very creative sandwiches, you will be happy you visited this place.

We came here for my birthday, and it was absolutely delicious! As self proclaimed foodies who raise and grow most all of our food, this meal was outstanding. I ordered the crab-stuffed flounder special with a grit cake. I will be thinking of thinking of that meal for years to come. It was absolutely perfect. The flounder was rolled with a very generous amount of crab inside. The delicately fried grit cake was like nothing I've ever tasted before - light and satiating but substantive. This was, by far, the best dish I've had at a restaurant in years. Simply delectable. My dining companions' meals were equally as incredible. Plus, the chef was easily able to accommodate my celiac friend. Really an outstanding evening.

This is the best fine dining in the region, yet it's not stuffy. The small, regularly changing menu is mostly gluten free, mostly local, and always wonderful. Eat outside on the quaint patio if you can (and enjoy the view of Pendleton Square), as the small inside can get loud. Cocktails and wine list are lovely, and don't miss the chocolate mousse.
