Crepe Heaven for anyone with celiac!! All savory crepes are gluten free and sweet crepes can be made to be gluten free!! I got the ham and cheese and it was amazing!!

Kristine O'Brien

What a delicious meal!

Nautia Symonne

One of the few, if not only gluten free and vegan restaurants in the area. I will definitely be back. My pesto sandwich was awesome. The cookies are a hit too 🙌🏿

Amber Easterling

This is always one of my favorite places to visit in Charleston! They have a large gluten-free menu and take any allergies very seriously! The food is always amazing! Lunch or dinner, it’s always so good!

Dan Rose

Celiac review here. Food is delicious American fare. Smashed burger gluten free and gf fries both sweat potato and crinkle cut with dedicated fryer. Good sauces. Would go again.

Kyle Holmes

An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

Peyton Marge

These guys are great! They get all new knives, cutting boards, and gloves to accommodate celiac and are very knowledgeable. Can’t recommend enough!

Julia Langeway

Incredible selection of vegan and gluten free flavors. As ice cream connoisseurs from the northeast, we were impressed with this place!

Bethany Bishop

Love love love! Celiac friendly. Delicious food, great prices and such a good vibe. The food comes out really fast too. Pretty sure I ate here 3 times during my last trip to Charleston.

Amber Easterling

Always a nice dining experience for a special occasion or just a great dinner overall. They pay so much attention to detail to every dish and are willing to modify anything they can to make it GF. They have a separate fryer. I always get the fried okra coated in corn meal for an appetizer! The pepper jack creamed corn without the breadcrumbs is amazing!! The burrata salad needs to be ordered without the breadcrumbs on top. Their steaks are always delicious!!

Philip Mager

Great sandwiches. Great atmosphere. Gluten free options are fantastic. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Markhaba Ospanova

Really recommend this place😍their ice cream is the best I’ve tried in my life🤤 From the first bite I feel the natural taste of each ingredients 😋 Love all their flavors, my favorite ones are butter &pecan 😋 and any type with the berries (there a lot of berries and what’s the most important is they use the real berries/fruits😍🫐🍒🍓🥭) aaand their chocolate ice creams🤤 Love that they have Gluten Free waffle cones and they are sooo delicious, so crispy😍😋just as I love.

Amber Easterling

A lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. We went for brunch and there were a few GF options on the menu. I was a little taken back that the chef was unwilling to modify a dish by substituting chicken for shrimp. I ended up with a salad and added chicken to it. My husband’s food came out cold with a film over it. I’ve heard such great things about this restaurant, so was a little disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day.

Susan Edgar Lee

Normal loud, dark wood-paneled interior but very professional staff. Good service. Gluten-free menu for my husband. First time ordering tuna tartare appetizer. Thumbs up. I ate their bouillabaisse which was excellent with a yummy crostini toast. Not cheap, nor should it be. Pictured is their seafood tower. Although it’s not what I ate, I saw several of those going out.

Caroline C. Duncan, MD, FMCHC

The house was amazing! And I got two gluten free which were so so good, the Maui and the Shiitake, out of all 3 I think the Holy Shiitake was a must try especially for gluten free vegetarian options, the garlic aioli and truffle was so delicious.

Crystal Coney

Amazing Gluten Free pancakes! Always pop in when I'm in town! 🫶🏽

Rebekah Spencer

Husband is gluten free and had a lot of options available for him. All of our food was delicious and staff was very friendly!

Danielle Dyer

This was our 2nd time here... We went for my birthday and truly enjoyed it again!! Our sever Molly was beyond fantastic!! She truly made my birthday so special!! The food was delicious! We had the she crab soup, calamari, loaded mash potatoes and the Ribeye!! All gluten free!!!!! And when we told Molly we just couldn't eat anymore she was so sweet and brought me some strawberries and whipped cream with a candle so I could make my birthday wish ❤️❤️❤️ which is so important to me ☺️☺️☺️ We truly recommend everything about high cotton!!

Katie W

Surprisingly quick to fulfill orders. They have a gluten free baguette that was good and great options to create your own salad.

Jupiter Grove

Great little place with a nice selection on the menu. They do accommodate gluten-free although it's not their specialty. You can get a $6 yuengling draft or pay as much as you want for mixed drinks. They truly have something for everyone.

Maria Rodriguez Santaella

It had a nice vibe. I ordered the chicken bacon gluten free pizza and a Caesar salad. Both the pizza and salad were great.

Leah Montgomery

Co has always been one of my favorite spots in Charleston! I’m gluten free and always appreciated the gluten free options! Tonight Kamryn and the chef went above and beyond to accommodate and did so in the kindest way. Gluten free friends, this is your spot!

Erin Grant

Service was friendly and quick, espresso tasted great - not too burnt - and the gluten free waffle was delicious! The interior left a little to be desired, but overall it was a good little shop.

Eithne McDonald

Great gluten-free options with unique choices. If you've never had Lebanese/Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, definitely give it a try! The service was great and we had a beautiful view by the window.

Taylor Nugent

I can’t express how amazing my experience was. We had a birthday dinner of 14 people and Donnie went above and beyond taking care of us helping us pick the most amazing dishes. I have been recently diagnosed with celiac and Donnie went above and beyond to make my experience amazing and took care of me so I did not have a single worry. he made sure to make everything on the menu GF or modified to Gf. I will be back so much and can’t wait to have more amazing experiences!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Sylvia Sheridan

Not bad for a quick take-home pizza!! You can also dine there! Gluten-free option as well which is a big plus for me! I love that you can add your own toppings and it doesn't change the price!!! ♥️

Zoe Smith

Service was very slow and hard to get a hold of servers for assistance. I have a gluten allergy and checked with the waiter before ordering and specified- reminded him of my gluten allergy with each course and every single plate I got had gluten on it- first my salad with crunchy toppings fried in the fryer with gluten items, then my crab dip had bread crumbs on it. It was very disappointing and also scary to get one dish after another with gluten in or on it. Additionally every single person at the table finished their drinks and the server was no where to be found for 30-45 minutes. I was with a large group celebrating a friend so did not make a fuss. Both dishes were sent back and fixed. Appreciate that but not the level of service I expect from an establishment like this.

Molly Woodruff

They have the best gluten free homemade crust!! Highly recommend this place for my fellow GF friends. You can pick whichever pizza to have it made with the GF crust. Service was great too.

LaSandra Teixeira

Ms. Rose’s Fine Food is a treat in Charleston! The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommend the avocado burger with the gluten-free bun, which was sturdy, flavorful, and a perfect match. The meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans was another standout. Don’t leave without trying the brisket fries—mouthwatering! The restaurant is spacious, the staff is warm and welcoming, and our waitress Raven gave top-notch service with great recommendations for us first-timers. We’ll definitely be back!

Lynette Karaoglu

The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating to my dietary needs. Chef informed me of a dish I ordered that was not gluten free and offered me another choice.

Rachel Walls

Love this spot as my coffee stop before church every Sunday. They offer a good selection of vegan and/or gluten free options and excellent coffee and espresso drinks. The seating areas are aesthetic and peaceful, also.

Amber Easterling

A must for breakfast or brunch! They have a gluten friendly menu if you ask. They have a dedicated cooking space and fryer for GF food and they offer GF bread for burgers/sandwiches. The French toast is amazing!!

Isabella Perez (Bella)

I ordered the fried bologna sandwich on gluten free bread. The gf bread was good. The quality of the food was delicious, although everything is overpriced given sides are à la carte. I got the home fries as a side, and the portion size is very small for what you get. With the price, lack of quantity, and lack of gluten free options, I wouldn’t recommend. Menu items say cornmeal, but they also use flour, so not gluten free…disappointing.

We stopped by for a quick lunch. The food was really good! They have a gluten-free menu with multiple options. Unfortunately, they do not have gluten-free bread or rolls, so no sandwiches, but everything else was great.

K. Paz

We did 2 gluten free and 1 regular biscuit. These were the BEST Gluten Free biscuits we've ever had! The regular biscuit was absolutely amazing also. We got lucky and did not have to wait so long in the line but noticed many were coming back letting the staff know that their order was wrong. We made sure we checked ours before we left and it was also wrong. They threw away our GF ones and remade them. After trying how good the biscuit was, I went back to get another GF one but was told there were no more GF left. I was upset since I am not local and really wanted another one, if they would have gotten the orders right the first time, there would have been 2 more GF biscuits and many others they threw out before ours. I decided to buy the GF mix to bring back home.

M.R. Munoz

Great wine list and variety of craft beers. A wide variety of dishes available with creative flavor combinations. Local seafood and fish. Gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu. Highly recommend if you visit the Charleston area. Note— beer and wine only. No liquor due to proximity to high school.

Katie Marino

We went for our anniversary. Our server Lexi was great & all of the staff were very friendly & attentive! Ordered the Pirlou & so glad we did. They were great with my gluten allergy & even had chocolate flourless cake.

Kataretya Jenkins

Delicious! Simply delicious! Affordable seafood with high end taste profile. Excellent service with Vladislav. That secret sauce is dangerous!!! They also have a gluten free and a vegan menu for those who like options!

Megan Lassen

Great flavor, large portions, and safe for celiac and dairy allergies!! I'd eat there often if I lived in the area!

Billy Blake

It's difficult to find great delis in the south, but this is definitely one of them. They offer a wide variety of options, including Gluten Free bread. They are open for lunch and early dinner, and there is ample parking available in front of the deli. Another great aspect is that they have plenty of seating. Overall, it's a fantastic deli that ticks all the boxes.

Heather Brown

Always a fabulous meal. Lots of gluten free options, and they’re clearly marked on the menu. The dishes are continually changing, and I love that they update the menu for the day on their website by noon. It’s a very homey and relaxed atmosphere. It’s small enough that you don’t feel crowded and you don’t have to yell to the others at the table to converse. We’ve been several times, and will definitely continue to go.

Amber Easterling

They offer 3 GF desserts. It was really hard to see the peanut butter chocolate cupcake and not be able to have it, but the chocolate mousse tart was delicious. It’s a great place to pick up dessert!

kari horowitz

All pizza is prepared in flour, I asked if they could make it on tin foil and she said all surfaces are covered in flour there would be cross contamination. Disappointed. No good for true celiac allergy.

Best breakfast/brunch we’ve had in Charleston. Would highly recommend. Service was great & fast. Our waitress Amelia was kind & attentive. We loved the vibes & just what we were looking for. They also had gluten free toast which was an added bonus for me.

Grace Dawson Beatty

Absolutely amazing. I have gluten and dairy intolerance. The staff were amazing in terms of thinking ahead and also educating me how food is prepared so I felt safe in my choices. 10/10. The steak and chicken fajitas were superb. Loved the margarita. Absolutely will be back. Thank you Ben and Peyton for an amazing experience!

Krista Radford

This place is absolutely amazing! The tacos are delicious and the salsa and queso are some of the best my family and I have ever had. We were so caught up in the food that we forgot to take pictures, but thankfully my girlfriend managed to snap a photo of her tres leches cake before we devoured it! The service was excellent. The only thing Taco Boy needs is some of my hotsos ;)

Stacie White

I got the smokehouse salad with smoked turkey which was juicy and flavorful. My party also got a serving of smoked turkey with sides that were substantial, the smoked turkey sandwich was absolutely phenomenal with the pimento cheese and beautifully toasted bun, the pulled pork tacos which were displayed well and were stuffed substantially. We also tried to zero proof mocktails. Highly recommend the sweet sereni-tea and the "nojito". Fresh and beautiful presentation. Our server Meghan was attentive and pleasant the entire meal. They were also accommodating and attentive towards my dietary restriction of gluten. 10/10
