Gluten free pizza was phenomenal, one of the best I have ever had!!

The food was fantastic. We ordered 2 different crepes but with buckwheat as one of us have celiacs. They took the allergy seriously which was much appreciated and the food was much better than we expected considering they were suing buckwheat as the alternative. Will definitely be eating here again when we visit. Loved that they are open a little late so when you’re in more of a breakfast for dinner mood they have options available.

Jessie Whiting

This place was great. Awesome gluten free options. The food and ciders were really good!

Lauryn Ginsburg

Wow! Amazing food, we got the tacos on the specials menu, and the corn tortillas were homemade and the best I’ve had. We also Got chips, salsa, and queso which were very good, loved the homemade chips! And great margaritas as well! Highly recommend. Plus many gluten free options!

Claire Michaud

great experience, every time! i’ve been going here pretty consistently for a few years, and the food and service has always stood out to me. i’m gluten and nut free, and they are very accommodating and willing to help you out. the food is also amazing- the best burger i’ve had!

Staff were amazing.food was even better.wish I know there was trivia came to late to participate.great if you have a gluten allergy or are vegetarian.

A place that advertises an entirely separate GF oven and has vegan cheese sounds perfect for our family. But their GF dough is made of wheat starch, which is NOT sufficiently free of protein for many with celiac and anyone with allergies. No sense having a dedicated space if you are using ingredients that quite possibly contain gluten (speaking as a health professional who has done the research on wheat starch ppm of gluten). Only other item available for me on the menu was a $10 "salad" of just greens...which came salted?!...and the salty cured meat appetizers. Huge huge let down. Please avoid if you are wheat or gluten free.

Thomas Kayser

Great atmosphere, great food, gluten free options!

Gluten free menu. Fantastic food & service

Nicole Van Hoey

Two stars bc my dairy/egg/nut allergy daughter was able to have ice cream here during her month-long stay in VT. No more than that, though, because B&J as a company haven't figured out yet that people with allergies often have more than one. Why make multiple dairy-free ice creams and add wheat into every one of them? It's beyond illogical. A simple dairy-free chocolate, or geez use GF oreos, and you are all set. Instead, there's nothing even at the VT locations for people allergic to two top allergens: wheat and dairy (notably, the two most common triggers of adult EoE as well, and frequently problematic for people with celiac also). Sorbet is not ice cream. Please don't use that as an excuse.

Bill Niquette

This place is a treasure. Family owned and run, fantastic food at fair prices. The soup broths are all first rate. They are very gluten free friendly. My son has celiac and has enjoyed the food here several times.

Niyeti Shah

This place is heaven, for meat and non meat eaters! Im celiac and vegan and they took SUCH amazing care of us - M and Kaleb are so kind and wonderful, weve come back three times in ten days. We could not recommend more!!!

After our delightful first visit, my wife and I knew we had to come back to Istanbul Kebab House for a proper meal. Last week, we decided to turn our date night into something special with dinner at this Turkish gem followed by a Broadway musical, Newsies, at the Flynn Center. We made a reservation in advance, as this spot is quite popular in the evenings - especially when there's a play happening nearby. The ambiance was inviting and warm, with soft lighting and traditional Turkish decor creating a perfect setting for a romantic evening. The service was exceptional, and our server, Alexandra B., made the experience even more memorable with his attentiveness and friendly demeanor. We started with the Small Meze Platter ($16.99), an excellent choice for sharing. The platter featured haydari, hummus, babaganoush, Turkish salsa, and stuffed grape leaves, all served with soft lavash bread. For those seeking a gluten-free option, fresh-cut veggie sticks are available. Each dip and spread was bursting with flavor, making this a must-try appetizer. For the main course, I chose from the Earthenware Casseroles and ordered the Lamb Guvec ($27.99). The tender, marinated lamb pieces combined with tomato, mushroom, onion, pepper, and eggplant were served sizzling hot, and the aroma alone was irresistible. It was hearty, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the recommended 9oz glass of Vinkara red wine ($16.50). My wife selected the Chicken Adana Kebab ($22.99) from the Traditional Kebabs menu. The mildly spicy, hand-ground chicken seasoned with Turkish maraş pepper and parsley was grilled to perfection and served with Turkish rice pilav, a side of greens, house pickled red cabbage, and marinated onions. She enjoyed every bite and complemented her meal with a 9oz glass of Ancyra white wine ($16.50), which was light and refreshing. To close the evening, we indulged in a classic Turkish dessert, Baklava ($9.99). The layers of fresh phyllo, walnuts, and crushed pistachios, finished with a simple syrup, were the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Istanbul Kebab House continues to impress with its excellent food, cozy ambiance, and impeccable service. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, this restaurant is a must-visit in Burlington. We’ll definitely be back again!

My Husband and I rarely go out to eat, but this restaurant is worth every penny. Very knowledgeable servers who offer recommendations for every food allergy (I have Celiac- plenty of options). The food is incredible and comes in smaller shareable dishes. Make sure you order the Tahini Sundae to top off your experience, you won’t regret it!!

Candy Kavanagh

Kudos Bluebird! Gluten free wings and ribs for the WIN! Our grandson has many allergies and dining out can be very challenging. Having these delicious finger foods was fun for the whole family to enjoy. The service was exceptional and such a cozy atmosphere! Looking forward to our next visit!

Kate Gregory

BKK is absolutely wonderful. The drinks are incredible, and Jenny (one of the co-owners) is always coming up with new delicious drinks to try. The food is also incredible, and as someone with Celiac, the food options are excellent and Bobby (the other co-owner) knows exactly which dishes are safe for me to eat. Would recommend to anyone who would listen.

Paul Gagne

We ordered the gluten free pizza. I clearly stated that it should be moderately cooked. It was received overcooked: the bacon and bottom crust were blacken. Regardless of my specific request, the pizza should not have been served... it is a shame since the atmosphere is respectable

Philip Yazbak

Fantastic Cuban food and it is such a unique dining experience for a place like Burlington. We made a reservation and it was a fairly busy Thursday night. The wait staff were knowledgeable and kind. It was a fairly large menu with lots of options. The water glasses were tiny. I would guess somewhere between 4 and 6 fluid ounces. We ordered the three chips app to start. Could tell it was house made and it was fresh and delicious but it was very small little pieces that made it harder to enjoy. We ordered the Creole shrimp with Maduros and tostones with yellow rice. The savory plantains and the sweet plantains are one of my favorite dishes and such a rare occasion allows for me to have them. These plantains did not disappoint and were cooked to perfection. The sauce on the shrimp was incredible and the rice, shrimp and sauce combo was a flavor paradise. We also got the vegan Cubano which was a little disappointing. Still we are very glad to see vegan options at all but it wasn't anything special. The menu said vegan Cubano sandwich but the default bread was not vegan (at least according to our waitress). To make it vegan you needed to ask for this other bread that they had that was also gluten free. So it was an extra 2 dollars to make the "vegan" sandwich actually vegan. Nonetheless the dinner experience was great as was the food and atomosphere. We will definitely return although it may be some time as the prices are on the higher end. If you enjoy Cuban food it is a place you should certainly try.

Rosanne Desjardins

Great server and knew exactly what we couldn’t have with a gluten allergy.

Rachel Wagner Lemblé

So many specialty options - vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian. Their bread was as delicious as Mom's homemade loaf. Perfection.

Samara Densmore

Excellent cappuccinos. They have oat milk and soy milk for non-dairy options. Breakfast burrito is good, but a little small. No gluten free menu.

Courtney Antoci

Very delicious food! My group and I stumbled upon this gem by chance, and we’re so glad we did. The staff members were knowledgeable about the menu and assisted the vegan and gluten free guests, making wonderful accommodations. Our gluten free friend LOVED the Chicken Korma. We were all able to dine with confidence , knowing there was something special for everyone to enjoy. We will definitely be dining here again!

Ellie Dombrowski

The vegan poutine is fantastic! Good vegan and gluten free options!

Tim Curtin

My favorite gluten free crust in town! Made by them, great mix of crispy edges and bottom, with some soft/chew in the middle.

Grace Smallbone

Evelyn Baltodano-Sheehan

Delicious homemade pasta. Both my hard-to-please teens loved it. And my gluten free pasta was also delicious. Priced very reasonably and excellent service. Can’t wait to go back

Andrea Tremols

Love this place especially their brunch on Sunday! They have gluten free and vegan options which can be so hard to find! Their gluten free waffle is amazing as are all their breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommend checking them out whether you’re vegan, gluten free or a meat love. You won’t be disappointed!

Jason Storer

Multiple tasty gluten free vegan options! Amazing!

Rachel Bilodeau

Amazing healthy food restaurant. They have lots of gluten-free choices and they all taste amazing. And the drinks rock too! Thank you so much for the great food guys!

Andrea Joseph

My family got hot pot here for my dad’s birthday and everything was excellent. We got the scallion pancakes and crispy chicken wings as appetizers and shared 3 main courses (pork belly, mixed seafood, and vegetable platter). They accommodated allergies (gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts) well— for example, the vegetable platter comes with mung bean noodles instead of udon.

Matt Keefe

Nice atmosphere. Service was friendly & fast. Big menu with lots of great choices. Good option for gluten sensitive people.

Walda Chesnut

Gorgeous presentation, lovely food, excellent service, & nice of the chef to stop by our table to say hello. Prix Fixe menu had a lot of wonderful options including gluten free dishes available.

Sarahfina Wipf

Poutine, speciality Gose and some of their IPA’s were fantastic! Service great, it is odd that they charge you 25¢ for a taster, and don’t let you pick your own flights. Their pre-set flights are very expensive. No gluten free beer options. Gender neutral bathrooms and plenty of parking.

Mike Alberga

A great place to hang out and just relax, good food and drink, and a huge game selection! The staff was great and they have gluten free options, which is a huge win for me. I ordered The King PB&J (amazing, btw), and the server asked if the gf bread could be toasted on the grill with the regular bread or if it needed a new surface. That's a huge win in my book for food allergies since I feel this level of detail isn't as common as I'd wish. I will definitely be making trips here a regular thing!

Amélie C.

Everything was fantastic, there was a gluten free falafel in place of the bread for the Shakshouka that was awesome! We also got the tahini spiced coffee which was to die for, whatever the white stuff on top of the coffee was, I would munch endlessly on it. 10/10 we love!

Katie Snodgrass

Finally had a meal here after driving past it everyday eating to haha. The food was absolutely divine, just great use of seasoning and flavor compliments. The drinks were great, my partner got the espresso martini- and it was the best she’s ever had. I’m celiac and the staff was super accommodating, barely even an issue. Though the food is nice and it’s an upscale place, the vibe of the servers and staff is friendly, so you feel really comfortable in here! Didn’t even feel like Burlington, it was just a little escape. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because the bar is very loud and for a date, getting sat right next to the bar wasn’t ideal. Couldn’t hear each other or the wait staff- thankfully I said something, and they were extremely accommodating. They moved me and my girlfriend to the elevated dining area, which was just perfect. The food came out super quick which is amazing and every staff member I ran into was just really friendly. It’s more than a kind place- it’s a real family atmosphere. Will be back- many times!

This place is an absolute delight. Went in on a bitterly cold Saturday night and was sat right away (which makes me sad because I wish they were busier). The prices are soooooo reasonable! I ordered veg pakora and chicken tikka masala and my dinner came out to $25 with a drink. My friend tried the tandoori chicken which was so unbelievably good. The servers were so friendly, and were knowledgeable about food allergies (gluten specifically) which made me feel safe about eating there. I’d say eating in is the better option, I’d ordered takeout from here before and forgot that I had done so lol but the dine-in food fresh and hot knocked my socks off. Can’t wait to go back.

Good gluten free options and friendly staff

Daniel Brun

Have been here several times, the menu does change somewhat for different events/ time of year, there’s a consistent offering that is always available so keep an eye out for those temporary offerings. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff has always been very friendly and welcoming no matter if it’s packed or slow. This place can become packed so wait times for seating and service can suffer but the staff tries their best to accommodate, they are always willing to answer any questions or address any concerns. There are some limited gluten free accommodations. Lots of cheap public parking nearby, assortment of on street/off street and garages- look for the big blue P signs if you’re not using your google maps. Shout out to our server Oliva, that chocolate mousse was awesome, thanks again for the great service! 👏 👏 👏

Chris Oatway

Great place right on the water. Clam chowder was amazing. Had a nut and gluten allergy kid with us. Handled allergies very well. Would definitely go back there.

M M

This food was so good and they were able to accommodate my requests for gluten-free and dairy-free food. The dishes smelled incredible and I was delighted that they tasted even better! Spice level, salt level, and the whole bouquet of flavors was all very impressive and great. Delight is a great name for this place! Highly recommend.

Peng Hsu

This is an ice cream parlor. Many young people love their ice cream. Many flavors to choose from. Also clearly identifying gluten, vegan, nuts, egg for your preferences. We ordered Coffee, Strawberry, and peanuts butter . Rich flavored but not too creamy.... Service was good...

Mikey

The polenta with pork belly is one of my favorite things I’ve had in town. Gluten free and huge portion!

Amanda L. McGowan

I loved the smoothies and gluten free baked goods. Lots of flavor and clean ingredients.

Patricia Dukes

Nikki Hanaburgh

The girl at the counter, checked to make sure every single item I had is gluten-free. She stopped and looked up every single one without me even asking.

Patti C

Fabulous delicious food & great service. Very fun place. VERY gluten free friendly.

Lauren Erickson

Having celiac disease greatly diminishes the amount of places where I can eat. Having gluten free options doesn’t always mean celiac friendly. I’ve eaten here several times with no issues! I just mention my restrictions when ordering and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure there is no cross-contamination. The food is delicious! I’m making my way through the menu that’s available to me, but I’m stuck on the Buddha boi (as a bowl, no wrap). The peanut sauce is so amazing and I crave it on a regular basis. Decent portions, friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Guy Fieri approved, too!!!
