Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

I say this was disappointment and want to preface I love the food here and always look forward to visiting, but the last 4 times I’ve visited I’ve had issues every time.
The last time I’ve visited, again a lot of things they didn’t have, but the thing I did order (the waffles) I never actually got. I waited over 30 minutes and was given no update. The person I was with got their food within 15 minutes. I was looked at now and then (avoided weirdly enough) as I waited but no one told me anything. I go up and ask if there is any rough idea when my food would be ready when I’m told the oven for the waffles wasn’t working. Again, had I been told from the beginning this wouldn’t have been as big of an issue. So I ended up just canceling the order because I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for my food.
The results of my past visits have me not wanting to visit for a while, unsure if or when I’d go back. :(
The first time they didn’t have the oat milk ice cream and other ingredients (multiple). No big deal, I just wish there was some note or posting somewhere to let me know ahead of time.
Every time over the last 4 visits they didn’t have any gluten free bread or gluten free bagels. Now as someone who is allergic to gluten, my options for food were cut to a very small selection. Again, please post it somewhere so I know to wait to come back until I can actually order the foods I have visited to get.

Went here because I was told it's a staple of no libs. Food was amazing and their staff was down to earth, I didn't feel like I was being served rather I was one of their regulars. Go hungry and ready to take food home with you the portions are large. I'm def not vegan or gluten but I was surprised by the amount of options they had to accommodate that.

Wow! A Celiac's dream for SAFE dining with so many available gluten free menu items. Very delicious food, drinks, and a super friendly, Celiac educated staff. I felt comfortable and excited choosing dishes prepared gluten free both times I've eaten here with family and friends. The beautiful blue corn Pancakes de Pinole topped with fresh fruit and a mug of rich spiced coffee have become a favorite for my weekend brunch! Staff was also willing to adjust meals that I wanted to try with gluten-containing ingredients and substitute with wheat, barly, and rye-free Celiac-Safe alternatives to ensure my safety and still enjoy items that would originally be off limits for me. Thanks Cantina La Martina. You are great!

PHILADELPHIA, PA (Fairmount): we love places that are specifically catered to dogs where pet parents can have a ton of fun too and The Boozy Mutt is a perfect dog bar!
The Boozy Mutt is an off-leash dog park where both dogs and humans can eat and drink from the bar & grill. The food and drink menu is quite big (with gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options clearly labeled), and the Mutt Menu has options like biscuits, burgers, pumpkin pie, a bark-cuterie plate full of all selections, and more! The drink menu includes cocktails, beer, seltzers, and non alcoholic choices.
The outdoor space has a turfed yard, umbrellas for shade, adirondack chairs, covered high-top seating, TVs, and heaters. The indoor space has a lot of seating and the window to order food and drinks. There is also a 2nd floor mezzanine space, but it was booked for a private dog birthday party when we were there. We LOVE that dogs are allowed inside. There are “rufferees” to keep an eye on the pups and clean-up, but always keep an eye on your dog. You can even give your dog a bath at their self-serve washing stations for an extra fee. There are events throughout the month and they can host parties!
If it is your first time visiting, admission is free. Thereafter, there is a day pass charge between $10-15 per dog, depending on the day (no charge for humans). You can also purchase a reasonably priced monthly or yearly membership.
Prior to your visit, make sure you register your dog online and provide proof of vaccinations (rabies, parvo, bordetella). All dogs older than 9 months old must be fixed. If you do not have a dog, you can still enjoy the space and get your doggy fix.
This vibrant spot features bright, stylish decor and a walled outdoor area perfect for casual hangouts. The communal table vibe adds to the energetic yet chill atmosphere, making it a welcoming place with several gluten-free options and friendly service.

I had your seltzer at the stadium even though I live nearby your shop. I hate seltzer but gluten free doesn't give you tons of options. I hate seltzer a lot. A lot. Like, to me it's old Zima. It's usually so hard on the stomach, too with an almost metallic taste so actually it's worse than Zima. So I wasn't thrilled when I ordered it. Let me tell you...I stand corrected. Delicious! Shockingly good! Light, crisp, highly drinkable and you get a decent load on. What more can I say?
This diner offers a warm dose of Philadelphia nostalgia with murals of iconic local symbols, creating a pleasant and fun atmosphere. The spacious and inviting setting combined with attentive service makes it a welcoming spot for those seeking a gluten-free friendly environment.

Fishtown Diner Review
Google Maps leads you right to the front door. Street parking is available (when you can find it), or you can use a nearby shopping plaza a few blocks away and then walk a short distance to the diner. Upon entering, we were greeted by smiling faces, a warm dose of Philadelphia nostalgia, and murals gracing nearly every wall. We were seated in front of a mural featuring the Liberty Bell, a subway train car, a Fishtown bus, the Love Statue, and of course my favorite, the Rocky statue with the art museum in the background. Behind the register, another mural pays homage to local sports legends: the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies, celebrating the city's rich heritage. The diner offers a mix of tables, booths, and counter seating, while the menu boasts plenty of choices at reasonable prices. We arrived at 11:30 AM, and the atmosphere really picks up around noon, so I recommend getting there before 12 if you can.
Now, let’s talk about the food. I enjoyed this experience with my wife and kiddo. My kiddo ordered the cookies and cream milkshake, which was rich and creamy, and he also tried the boston crème short stack pancakes. Although the portion was so large he couldn’t finish them, so come hungry! My wife, who has a gluten allergy, opted for the salmon and grits served with a fruit cup instead of bread. The salmon was cooked to perfection without tasting frozen or dried out, and its flavor was spot on. As for me, I went with the Fishtown omelet, accompanied by home fries and rye toast. When the server asked if I wanted peppers and onions with the home fries, I couldn’t resist when in Rome, right? Overall, the food was fantastic and the dining experience was truly memorable. Shout out to our server, Kat, you were awesome!
This eatery offers a welcoming atmosphere with attentive service, making it an excellent choice for those seeking gluten-free dining options. Its thoughtful approach ensures a comfortable experience for guests with dietary needs.

Last Saturday at noon, I had the pleasure of visiting Silk City Diner in Philadelphia. A diner reimagined, after its major renovation in 2007. The transformation, under new management, has turned it into a sleek modern space while still maintaining that classic diner vibe. The diner is located on Spring Garden Street, and while parking can be a bit tricky, there are street parking options nearby, as well as a valet service if needed. The place was quite full, which is a clear sign of its popularity. Given the lunchtime rush, I'd recommend making a reservation before heading there. The outdoor seating area looked nice however, we opted to sit inside. Next time, I'll definitely sit outside to enjoy the good weather while eating. The music was upbeat and created a lively atmosphere, making it a fun place to be. For starters, I tried the mac and cheese ($13), which was rich and creamy with a nice crispy top. For my main dish, I ordered the Kabayaki Glazed Salmon and rice ($26), which was cooked just right with the salmon itself being tender and flavorful especially with the kabayaki. My guest opted for the BBQ chicken wings ($12), which were smoky and had a great balance of tangy sweetness. Their menu is diverse, offering various dishes, from comfort food to more upscale options. If you're gluten-free or prefer something lighter, they have options, so don't be afraid to ask your server. And do try their fresh-squeezed juice! It's a great way to start your meal. The service was attentive and welcoming despite the full house.
Our waiter was friendly, visiting often and offering suggestions. Overall, Silk City Diner is a great spot to experience diner cuisine in a modern setting, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable meal.
This spot offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with a relaxed, updated space featuring an open garage-style door and outdoor seating. It's a great spot for gluten-free dining, praised for its accommodating menu and consistently satisfying dishes.

Some of the best Philly cheesesteaks you could ever want to eat. They have something for those who are gluten free (no bread). We dived into our food while still park in front of the building. Fresh, hot and excellent.
This lively venue features a pirate ship playground and arcade games that are a big hit with kids, complemented by a spacious beer garden and downstairs area perfect for gatherings.

Really happy with this place. Food was good, came out quick. Moderately priced kids options and adult meals. Had the Nutella french toast brunch special.. delicious! Kids had chicken tenders and fries. They also have an arcade plus a big wooden boat with slides. Only downside was the lack of celiac friendly options. There were GF items, but the kitchen said there was cross contamination. Overall great experience!

Excellent cheesesteak and pizza! My wife and I split a cheesesteak with onions on seeded roll, the roll was perfect and there was great meat to bread ratio. They have pizza by the slice available and we split a slice of cheese--it was spectacular; perfectly cooked with great crunch and char on the crust, perfect amount of gluten formation and the sauce and cheese were top quality (all for $3.50). You can tell they allowed the dough to proof well and know what they are doing. The restaurant itself also has plenty of seating and had a cool atmosphere for a pizza shop.
This venue offers an intimate atmosphere with great sound quality, perfect for enjoying live music in a welcoming, inclusive space. While gluten-free options are limited, the charming stage and appealing interior create a memorable experience beyond the menu.
