Sooo delicious! I have celiac i went here for dinner with my sister and i got a fried chicken sandwich with their waffle fries and ohhh my god it was delicious! We got two burgers to go for a late night snack. We’re going back in the morning for breakfast. This is probably my favorite spot while visiting Nashville

My first time visiting Hawkers. I have to be Gluten Free, not only was the server Mikel knowledgeable about my options. A friend suggested the Singapore Mei Fun and it was absolutely delicious. We also had some Shrimp Rice rolls and they were also delicious! All tasted very fresh. If you have never been go!!!!

First visit to B&Bee was for my husband's bday. It did not disappoint and actually exceeded expectations. Atmosphere is great inside and on the patio. Food is delicious with unique flavor combinations. Really good wine list. Many options for vegans and gluten free clearly labeled and they were happy to make vegetarian items vegan for us. Be sure to make reservations in advance.

This place is incredible! As a celiac it is hard to find safe food that is also tasty and greko hits it out of the park every single time.

GF eater here. I love that Mitchell Deli hasn’t changed much over the years. It still has the same hippie/Asheville vibe it’s always had. They use quality ingredients and smoke their own meats, which makes the neighborhood smell delicious. Since going gluten-free, though, I don’t enjoy it as much. The GF bread is just bad—so dry it ruins the rest of the sandwich. (There are GF local bakeries doing decent bread, guys!) If you have an allergy be sure to ask for it cold (they use shared toasters), or getting just the filling in a box is an option too. But in the past 6 months, 50% of our takeout orders have gotten my order wrong. Last week I ordered the Pacino, which is basically a turkey sandwich with pesto. The pesto is amazing and makes the sandwich. Mine came with balsamic and no pesto. Stuff like that, where you don’t even discover it until you’re home and you’re stuck with the wrong sandwich, leaves a bad taste in your mouth. But man, when I wasn’t GF, it was the bomb except for the occasional burnt toast.

Great menu. Plenty of gluten free and vegan options. Coffee is consistent and delicious.

Hannah Duckworth

New favorite spot in Nashville! I have gluten, dairy and fish allergies and they were SO helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious (I got the paprika chicken and Avo Hummus with veggies instead of bread), plus the cocktails were out of the world and the wine selection was great. Staff was also amazing, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great vibes for a date or going out with friends!

Service can sometimes make or break a place. Our server Sam, a guy with the bleach stained shirt, liked to just stand around more than figure out we were trying to flag him down. Trying to celebrate a birthday and him forgetting food we put in. Gluten friendly flatbread was delicious! Other than that, good atmosphere, just the service team could seem a little more attentive than having gossip circles.

Friendly place and great bowls!!! Someone referred me to this place and I go all the time now. If you are looking for a place organic, vegan, or gluten free; come here! You won't be disappointed

Scott Carothers

Phenomenal gluten-free breakfast options!!!

Nolan McNamee

Absolutely delicious food. We’ve been here twice now and were amazed with all the food both times. We’ve had the Pad Se Ew, Pad Eggplant, Fried Rice, some sushi rolls and a few apps. Lots of gluten free options too, just need to ask/verify.

Eric Griffin

Just really good pho, straight up. And don’t sleep on the coconut curry noodles - they are AMAZING. Almost everything is gluten free, which is a nice touch.

Wil Jordan

Best fried chicken I’ve had. Gluten free these days so haven’t had much fried chicken over the past couple years but this chicken was better than any chicken I remember having.

Jonathan Mack

Excellent tacos. The fresh made tortillas were on point. Service was superb. Cool vibe, good menu options. All sauces were gluten free and vegan. Would eat here again.

Roni Tedford

Their gluten free build your own pizza is delicious! We did a bbq sauce with chicken and bacon, best gluten free pizza I’ve had in a long time! My husband ordered a regular cheese pizza, and while he loved his too, he preferred mine more which says a lot for a guy who usually can’t stand gluten free pizza. Definitely recommend this establishment.

The fine dining experience is like a dance. When everything comes together, from parking to service to food and even the restroom is lovely, it's a fun and satisfying dance. Sometimes one or two things are off, but the food comes and it's so delicious you forget about how hard it was to park. My husband and I live right down the street and went to Lou for the first time for brunch to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately too many things were off and the dance didn't do it for me. It was a rainy day and people were double-parked in Lou's lot (which is tiny: be forewarned you need to show up early), so my husband had to circle the block and park down the street. Before he came in, two servers checked on me. After he came in, soaked to the bone, we sat and waited probably a good 5 minutes before the servers came back. Which wouldn't be so bad except we were sitting in the middle of the room, watching everyone else being served, and I'm looking at a soaked man who for some reason decided against grabbing an umbrella before we left the house, and it's already a bad start. Once the server came, I was like, Okay, now things will be better. But then the hits kept coming. They don't serve decaf coffee. Plenty of other dietary concessions like gluten-free and vegan, but no decaf. They didn't have the tartine, the one thing that appealed to me most on the menu. We did the sticky bun instead. It was dry and almost burned on the bottom. We ordered the crispy potatoes, but I didn't look up what "toum" is. Raw garlic whipped in oil. The potatoes were so strong I could only eat a few bites. But the pancake--it was magical. Definitely the brightest spot of the meal. It made staying in my seat doable. I know this sounds dramatic, maybe even like a large dose of "first-world problems." I realize I chose my dining companion and it's my problem when I can't detach from his bad attitude and have a good time in spite of things going wrong. But this is real life. These are the things restaurants are up against when trying to give patrons a good experience. And the overall combination of our individual experiences and choices and Lou's choices and circumstances on the day was less than desirable. We will probably give Lou another try because we could see their good intentions. And the pancake was out of this world. And the restrooms are truly lovely. But next time we'll bring lower expectations. And a second umbrella.

Very good pizza. Can be a bit slow at times, but I out that down to them being a small operation with employees who care about the food they produce. Pizzas are expensive, but they have great daily deals. Menu quickly any limited to just pizza; they also offer several pasta dishes (most covered in a layer of gooey pizza cheese) and some appetizers, like chicken wings. There are gluten-free pizzas, too, but only one size.

Yessika Negron

Absolutely wonderful food. Fresh seafood, seasoned perfectly, hand made pasta. Gluten free lobster bisque!!!! Friendly owner!!

Daniel Norris

This place was great! Big variety of beers and the pizza was delicious. They even had a decent gluten free pizza. We were visiting from out of town, but I'd be over here every week if I lived close-by.
