Pro’s: Great options for Celiac Disease + good GF bread. Coffee keeps flowing, it’s $5 for unlimited self serve. Central location next to Capitol. Con’s: Slightly underwhelming portions. Lox bagel does not come with cream cheese. Not a ton of unique / strong flavor for an $18 meal. It generally felt like a restaurant that used to be charming in its origins but has commercialized.

Visited here for a birthday dinner the night before a Fever game. Amazing dining experience, top notch service. The staff were very accommodating with my gluten free and dairy free needs.

Jennifer Stauth

We always enjoy coming here. You can create your own pizza. They have gluten-free and dairy-free options. It's nice to be able to eat pizza again. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Aaron Majchen

Very good food quality, simple menu, and true gluten free options including fries cooked in a separate fryer, impressive. This place is owned by the woman who owns Ball & Biscuit cocktail bar on Mass Ave, pictured are several of the house brand canned cocktails. I tried the espresso martini and a lemon coconut beverage both of which were balanced and complex. Burgers and fries are up to par, we just have a lot of options in Indy for this fare. My only nit pick is that it's pricey, which is unfortunately expected for the location. Highly recommended for gluten free diets, and worth checking out otherwise. Service was top notch as well.

Was in the area, and looked up gluten free options, and this place came up. When I walked in, I was able to sit at the bar (which had a ton of seats) and immediately got served by Leah, the amazing bartender working today. They had a ton of different burger options and had gluten free buns available, which can be hard to come by. The burger was made to order, and the one I got had an interesting flavor. It had a basil aoli, mushrooms, onions, and goat cheese (of all things). The bourbon based drink is ordered was tastefully made, and overall I enjoyed my experience. All of the staff were nice and attentive; you could tell that they all worked well together.

Kelly Gallaway

I was there for a meeting. 1st time visit. The Food was good. I was offered Gluten Free options, which I had requested. The Server was friendly, and timely.

Jennifer G

Amazing!! 100% Gluten Free! Great staff! Delicious food!

Natalia Cruz

I really liked the restaurant and how they had both good indoor and outdoor space. They had an amazing drink selection for people who like beers. I'm gluten free and they have two styles of gluten free pizza. Which is thin crust and Detroit style, which I had. It was very yummy and definitely will be back.

My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

Sam Zarakovich

No words, absolutely fantastic. World class, this should have a michilin star. Food? Fantsstic. Ciders? Amazing. And its a nut free, allergen and gluten concious kitchen? What more could you ask for.

R. M.

Very good vegan and gluten free options!

Amanda Elsner

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

Made a reservation for 8 for Prom last week and the kids were pleased. They said the food was great and the manager came out to check on the gluten free order to make sure it was right and that they were having a good experience. They were excited to be treated with such great service after not being served well at a steakhouse farther north a couple of months ago. They promised they tipped appropriately, but look it up on my open table to make sure that is true. Thank you for treating them with kindness and respect and for making it a good experience for them.

Dan Pete

The roasted brussels sprout appetizer is amazing! Also, pair your meal with one of the CH house wines. We chose a smooth merlot with our dinner and will do so again, it was that good. Our server was very attentive and professional, very knowledgeable on the menu and wines. He insured that my meal was prepared gluten-free which I greatly appreciated. Reservations are recommended on the weekends.

Kate Kotan

They have the best gluten-free crust. The Parma, add ricotta, is my go to. Perfect blend of flavors!

Jonathan Hilber

We make this a usual stop about once every 3 months. Service was far better this time than last. My wife has to be gluten free and she hasn't had any issues when eating here! The tacos are fantastic!

Erin & Shawn Thomas

Gorgeous spot and worth going for the soothing live jazz. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning with gleaming bar and antique charm. Atmosphere and service is a bit pretentious/exclusive. Not recommended for celiacs. Staff showed no awareness or willingness to offer gluten free options.

Jerica Moyer

We ordered 2 coffees some pastries and 2 sandwiches all were delicious. Some of the best gluten free bread I have had. Loved the inclusive menu!

Layla Reyes

Amazing atmosphere with unique and stunning surrounds! Old shoe factory reclaimed for a great restaurant. Aside from the architectural feast, the food and service are outstanding!! Ordered the Jumbo Lobster and Crab Ravioli and ordered the zero-proof Tropical Dreamsicle. Delicious!! They were accommodating to both gluten allergies (I don't have) but also offer smaller portion menus for any anyone like seniors, kids, or bariatric patients with NO HASSLE!

LeeAnn Reymann

Delicious food and excellent service. Several gluten free options, but somewhat limited on main dish options.

Diane Gorsline

Great experience. I had the Greek salad. My son had the gluten free version of the hummus plate. We both thought the food was delicious. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. Our friendly server checked back several times. My diet soda was refilled without me having to ask. The atmosphere was cozy, featuring an eclectic mix of Jockamo items and local Irvington posters and art. We plan to return.

Rachel M

Great gf options, gf menu, and staff is knowledgeable on celiacs!

Joe Sacher

Burgers are really good. I was super disappointed in the onion rings. Really thick breading, like a limp pretzel dough and no crisp. Wish I didn't pay extra and just got the fries. Wife is Celiac and proper handling of this is main reason we came.

Trevor Darley

An update after my visit: despite noting that I have an allergy and needed the gluten-free pancakes, I was served pancakes with gluten. Through sheer luck, I commented on a separate allergy-related issue, and a new staff member (not the one who took my order) got confused and asked "You do realize these have gluten, right?". They prepared a new, safe, order quickly, but it was concerning. I recommend that those with allergies place their order through a manager, and have the manager double-check with the kitchen that they read the order correctly. I haven't even been here yet, but I already love them due to their commitment to safe gluten-free food for those with Celiac and other severe medical responses to gluten. I'll update this review after I eat there this weekend

Emma Richards

Oh wow, this was my first time at BIBIBOP. I ended up here after chipotle was out of guac. I'm almost speechless. The food was amazing and the staff was so helpful when I shared that it was my first time there. I love that everything is gluten free and it's all delicious. I spent less than I would have at chipotle and i'm SO FULL. I got the miso glazed salmon which was delicious and the restaurant was so clean! I can't wait to go back and try more items!

Melissa Smith

My American Legion Post 510 gathers here for a meal prior to our monthly meetings. The staff is great and friendly. The menu has so many different items to choose from that I have a hard time deciding. They also have vegan and gluten-free items to choose.

Melody Carroll

So, as a person with Celiac, when I found this place, I was so excited. I have been going there for quite a bit of time. Sometimes, twice a week. Sadly, I will not continue going there or recommending it. When I come into a restaurant, which is very rare because of my Celiac, I don't want politics or a political agenda to hit me in the face. Today, there is a flag hanging behind the welcome desk that I do not believe in, and I am sure others would say the same. I know everyone is welcome to their own opinion, but I wonder if they would hang an American Flag or a Christian Flag as quickly behind their welcome desk? Like professional sports, restaurants should not use their restaurant as a political platform. It actually made me sad that one of the only places I can eat, is no longer a choice.

Can be busy, friendly staff! Many items labeled gluten free! Not a bad place for diabetics if you’re smart about carbs. All meat is excellent here! Pricey but worth the money! Be sure to get wine with steak 👍 👍

Gayle Coomes

INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!!! Best gluten-free crust ever!!!

Lori Davis

As someone with Celiac Disease, I was floored that the fried chicken can be completely gluten free. The servers are knowledgeable and happy to accommodate with gluten free needs. Food was incredibly fresh and delicious. There are so several sides and appetizers that are also gluten free. There are a gluten free option for dessert too! I will be back for the food and the amazing service! Highly recommend!

Candy Kuhl

The gluten-free cheeseburger was delicious! Although the French fries are not gluten-free, I opted for a side salad instead. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Alicia Mendoza

Sam P was a great server! Abundant gluten free options. Will be back again!

Dave Brown

The block this pizza place is on its wonderful. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies, and this was the first pizza place she's been able to eat at for quite some time. She was thrilled to find it, and the pizza was excellent.

Shalyse Ise

Food was very good. Our server Alyssa was very nice. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well as gluten free

Allison Henderson

Delicious food and great service! There were lots of gluten free options. Our server, Scott, was so helpful and professional!

Evangeline Grunden

My uncle and I picked up pizza to go and it was a delightful experience. The gentleman working the counter shared lovely conversation. We waited just a minute for our order, so he would update us on how close they were and brought food out as he could. The gluten free was delicious. So grateful!

Marcos Almonte Perez

Update 9/13/24 Finally dined in and had a great time. The food was outstanding. You had Gluten Free options and alternatives! You can't beat the flavor and service!

Sarah Chidister

Brittani was our server today and she was really lovely! The food as always was amazing and I love the gluten friendly options they have available.

Edward Klasky

The chicken tender meal was over cooked and seemed like it came out of a frozen bag! I got a plate of tail end fries and the waitress forgot my cup of chili. Thankful now! The double smash burger was dripping wet in grease if you like that kind of thing YUK! The gluten free bun was dry and just fell apart. Now I understand why nobody was in the place. First and last time here!

Tyler Ann Hopkins

First Watch is so so good! The atmosphere is fun and inviting and kid friendly. I love the Mint Mocha and Traditional Breakfast! It's perfect for dietary restrictions to as they have gluten free options and cater more to the healthy side. We drive an hour one way to eat at First Watch and it's so worth it!

Chelsea Meyer

We went to The Capital Grille a couple weeks ago for our anniversary celebration. They truly made us feel special at Capital Grille. They knew we were celebrating our anniversary and they acknowledged that many times throughout the night. The table was nicely decorated for our anniversary, they left us a card and a rose. I can’t eat gluten and they were attentive and cautious with all of my food to ensure I had a safe dining experience. They even had a GF menu! All the food was delicious! They surprised us for dessert and brought out two deserts, one for my husband and a GF chocolate espresso cake for me. It was divine! They paid attention to every detail and really made us feel valued and appreciated for spending our night with them. It made us feel we chose the right place to spend our time and money. I’d definitely go back there!

Katy Knerr

The food variety is great and it tastes great. They also have gluten free options.

Edward Wilson

Lori Davis

Amazing dinner! Wait staff was so thoughtful and friendly. Our entire party enjoyed our meal. As someone with celiac, they were happy to oblige my dietary needs. For an Italian restaurant, I was so pleasantly surprised with all of the gluten free food options. The patio was also beautiful! I will 100% be back! Wonderful experience!

Lauren Klinedinst

I love this place. As someone who has to eat gluten free this is really a treat. The carbonara with GF pasta is what dreams are made of.

Hailey

Reasonably priced food for ths atmosphere and food presentation/freshness. It was really good. The bacon was so yummy. They also have gluten free bread!

James Murdock

Rick’s Cafe Boatyard has been on our list of date-night restaurants to check out for a long time. We finally made it and we’re happy we did. Even with some construction work happening, the atmosphere was nice. They had several gluten-free options for us to choose from. We chose bacon wrapped scallops and shrimp tacos (see the photos), and it was all delicious. Our server was great… very attentive, friendly and helpful.

Richard Spartan

I loved everything I ate. Portion for cost is fair. I wish the gluten free option wasn’t so strict with using corn on corn.

Richard Nussle

Great restaurant close to downtown. The service is great and the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and wine. They always have a vegan and gluten free entree. When you first sit down you get a small glass of champagne which is a nice touch. On our last visit we got the smoked carrots and they were shockingly good. The carrot soup was excellent and then for entrees I got long trumpet mushrooms and my wife got the Sacchetoni en Brodo. She said hers was good. The peanut parfait is amazing and a must get to finish the meal. It is on the pricier side but it is with it in my opinion.
