Top 13 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Fort Myers Downtown Commercial District

First time I’m downtown Ft. Myers and I ordered the gluten free cheese pizza and it did NOT disappoint! I imagined being gluten free it would taste mediocre boy was I wrong. If I could give 10stars I would. The waitress however was lackluster. She got my drink order wrong. I asked for Mezcal and she brought me a glass of Moscato. After the mixup she advised Mezcal is only served on certain days 🤔. I ordered an Old fashioned and it was garbage. I waited 40 minutes for my food and only saw her 3 times. Once to take my drink order, once to take my food order and then to bring the check. It was a Thursday night and the tables were pretty empty so it wasn’t due to the crowd. I still would go again for the amazing tasting pizza and stick with a glass of wine! 🍕

Just like New York pizza! Plus, they have gluten-free pizza crust and gluten-free brownies 😋!!!

Excellent experience here. I have Celiac disease and while they don’t have a designated gluten-free menu, they have gluten-free items marked on their regular menu. I had a cheeseburger on a gluten free bun with mashed potatoes and broccoli (wanted to avoid fries since they likely are in a shared fryer). It was a really good burger. My husband loved his burger too. Our kids were also happy with their meals. Very cool decor on the inside. There is limited street parking, but there is a parking ramp just around the block. Located in Downtown Fort Myers. Would love if they added gluten-free appetizers like a shrimp cocktail or something.

I am from out of town, and I had gluten free German cheesecake from here a year ago, and it was delicious. I still think about it and wish it was easily accessible to me now. Definitely worth a stop for their baked goods.

Fabulous both days. My celiac wife ate safely.

My daughter and I visited my parents for 10 days prior to Christmas and struggle to find restaurants that offer gluten free options as she is Celiac. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and they are served with crackers and I asked for a few corn tortillas so that she could use them to dip the appetizers. They were so accommodating they served them at the table quartered and pan fried. It was such a nice gesture on top of the amazing food. We have traveled quite a bit and we love food. This restaurant and the staff really went above and beyond and have delicious food that is outside of the box. Anne was our waitress and she was so wonderful and suggested the Spanish octopus appetizer. It was amazing. We also had the seafood tower and a half pound of the Cajun hot buttered peel and eat shrimp and it was amazing. This restaurant has become a must visit on our list for future visits!!

Last evening, nine of us went to celebrate a friends birthday dining together. I can say this was the worst experience of service I have ever had. First we ordered drinks and the drinks came wrong. After that we ordered our food and the food slowly came to our table. I was served the wrong meal and we waited for our waitress so we could tell her what happened, this plate sat in front of me for at least 5 minutes. My plate was taken and given to the person sitting next to me after the server had put it down in front of me and told me it was a flat iron steak. The person next to me ordered a filet mignon. Please note that the steak had sat in front of me at least five minutes and then given to the person next to me, yes it was cold. Now the rest of the table was being served their food. We have one that is gluten-free and had ordered a gluten-free meal. In front of her was a plate with macaroni and cheese and a steak which no one had ordered at our table. Two of us sat and waited for our food to be brought to us. When my food came It was ice cold, for instance refrigerator cold I waited for the waitress to come and told her My food was cold. She offered to take it back and reheat it. The gluten-free friend got her meal and could eat as I waited for my food. Everyone at the table finished eating. When my food finally came out, I told them to box it as I was not going to eat and have a table of eight people Wait for me. At this time, the manager came to our table and told us he talked to the Cook and bartender and that he would make things right. My food was boxed and sat in front of me. The waitress brought our bills as we were paying individually or as couples. I was presented with a full bill after the manager said that he would take care of it. I asked for the manager back and he said why would I do that? Needless to say I gave back my food and went home without eating, very disappointed in Firestone. Everyone at the table was in shock!

Best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had! Service was awesome, we love this place!

Antonio Armas

Disappointed by the service. Our server spent very little time with my family, and seemingly wanted to rush away between interactions. My family has dietary restrictions, including diary free and gluten free. The staff did little effort to accommodate to us; even after requesting gluten free entrees we still received breaded cuts of fish. While the restaurant’s atmosphere is pleasant, the service and food quality were far below expectations. My family will not return.

The gluten free breakfast burrito is amazing. Good coffee and excellent service.

A lovely new restaurant with cool atmosphere. The greet was friendly & welcoming. Isabella was our waitress and she was also friendly and attentive and took time to review the menu and the experience. One in our party did the sizzle option. I had their wilderness burger & it was flavorful and filling. Not a drinker but the drink menu was different and delicious if you’re interested in trying a cool cocktail. And finish off your meal with the chocolate mousse cake bar (gluten free) So good!! Do not skip it. We had a lovely meal & will be back. Definitely give this new downtown Fort Myers place a try.
