This location is great! We have a gluten allergy in the family....they are so understanding AND take proper precautions! The restaurant is kept clean unlike many others in Owensboro! Customer request: offer the crab rangoon pizza MORE THAN ONE MONTH A YEAR! 😋 (Maybe spring and fall)

Poor service. You order gluten free and they give you gluten free bun and a fried chicken. Do better

This place is pretty fantastic, I had options for me, which were gluten-free. And safe options for one of the members of my group that was dairy free. Friendly service and a pretty chill atmosphere, I would definitely say this could be a good place to go if you were to have like an easy brunch with like friends or family or to go for someone’s birthday for sure

If I could give less than one star I would. I was really looking forward to going to Cheddars because of the gluten free menu they offer. I ordered the spinach dip for an appetizer because it's gluten free. There was a penne noodle IN my spinach dip. Anyone that know anything about gluten knows that a noodle contaminating food is going to cause a person with celiac disease to get very sick.(It's like giving a person allergic to peanuts a peanut.) I showed the server the whole penne noodle and asked for a new dish being that this will cause issues. He said sure. Went to the back and came back to tell me that it was a piece of cheese. Really!?!?!? A piece of cheese. It was a whole penne noodle and you're not going to argue with me on if it was a piece of cheese. The orange piece that he thought was a piece of cheese was a piece of mandarin orange that was also found in the spinach dip. Like what idiot doesn't know the difference between a piece of cheese and a piece of orange!? After having being argued with, I asked for my server to cancel the order because who wants to eat somewhere, where there's something in their food that should be there. Not just 1 something, but 2 somethings!? The whole penne noodle and a piece of mandarin orange. Then the manager came passed our table very obviously trying to figure out if he wanted to talk to us. This idiot was worse than the server. It was a disaster and I won't go back. It's ridiculous to argue with a table of people that saw a noodle in their food and try to tell them it's cheese. Not good service, even worse management in front of house and in kitchen. Who doesn't have enough pride to make sure their kitchen is in order!?!?

I just do not understand how a restaurant that has gluten free bread , that the staff has NO clue which ingredients/items you can and can not put on the bread to keep it gluten-free. What is the point of the GF bread then? Come on now, there are too many people with allergies these days. If you offer GF bread then it is VERY important to someones health that at least one employee or the manager have some sense of knowledge on how to keep the sandwich safe for those that depend on it.

I highly recommend. This was a very nice restaurant. Casual dress code but you could dress up and make it a nice dinner out. The waiter was very kind and helpful. The chef was very kind to help with my husband's gluten-free (allergies). We will definitely be back.

En pointe from start to finish. Very difficult for us to find a delicious, well prepared restaurant meal due to requiring a strict Gluten Free menu. From making the reservation, to the dessert, the staff made every accommodation to ensure not only a safe, but memorable dining experience. The scallops were to die for.

Taylor t was our server she was absolutely wonderful. I have celiac disease so I am gluten free and she kept checking on items to make sure it was safe for me to eat. She was very courteous, nice and caring. Next time I'm back in Kentucky I'm hoping that Taylor t is there still working. I'm asking to for her to be our server if that is all possible. By the way the food was absolutely delicious. It was the best steak that I have ever had in my life the baked potato was perfect. Thank you for your hard work.

Nice place downtown to get a bite. The prime rib was good and well portioned. I liked the baked potato (loaded of course) and the salad was decent. We tried the chips and spinach dip. They were ok but nothing to write home about. Staff was great. There are a few GF options (steaks and salads). If you are celiac make sure to let them know and ask not to have your meal served with the cheesy bread that comes with all the dinners. Will return.

I have Celiac disease so I'm always Leary of trying to create my own gluten free meal!! I ordered lunch size steamed veggies and chicken with white rice and egg drop soup (after confirming it is made with corn starch) and it was surprisingly tasty! Definitely a good choice for a quick cheap lunch!!

Kayela was the sweetest. My mom has a gluten allergy and she made sure to go above and beyond to make sure her order didn’t get cross contaminated by making sure the cooks knew it was an allergy and bagged it separately than everything else, and even told her different things she could order in the future that she didn’t know she could have.

My wife and I, who are both vegan, decided to grab a bite while we were out, and chose Don Mario's (to which neither of us had been yet)---it was an excellent choice. Not only does their menu included a dedicated section for vegetarian & vegan options (some of which are also gluten-free), but many other vegan dishes and components are scattered throughout the menu! Our delicious dishes were cooked perfectly, the portions were generous and very filling (but not heavy or oily at all), the service was great, and we were able to eat outside on a beautiful day. We will definitely be eating there again---and we highly recommend it to others!
