Must visit in Portland! Rich flavors and hearty portion in the arepa. Coffee hits the spot too. Very friendly people! And all gluten free. Celiac safe 👍

Chef Emma created a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, served by the most pleasant and helpful staff. The service was excellent, the food was great for our gluten-free, vegan -adjacent diets!! I’d give more stars if I could!!

David Guillen

This place is amazing!! The food was incredible, so delicious! They have a dedicated gluten free section of their kitchen. The staff was very helpful and friendly, also very accommodating and knowledgeable bout food allergies.

Angela Sottile

ALL GLUTEN FREE! Delicious!

Scott Bryant

Gluten Free Beer, Gluten Free Everything. Cannot recommend enough.

Jacqueline Loiseau

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

Seammus McGrath

Our bartender was amazing! The oyster selection was great and my girlfriend was very happy with her gluten free fried fish sandwich (with no upcharge on the gf bun!). I had the beet cured steelhead trout on special and it was beyond my expectations. This was my 5th or 6th time here and every time the level of service and food always exceeds the last.

John Hardies

Happy to report that Saltwater Grille has Orange Bike Brewing (GF brewery in Portland) on the menu and a full menu of gluten free fried seafood options! Great, quiet spot with good food.

Becca Olach

Found a gluten free option for lobster roll, so happy we came here!

Mitch Paine

Travel to Portland for a few days to get away and we heard that this restaurant had great gluten-free pizza. We went. I had a regular pizza. My wife had gluten-free. The drinks were great. The atmosphere was great. The view of the water was great. A must visit destination

Matt Frazier

Ordered take out, a simple burger on a gluten free bun with onion and fries. That's it. Didn't get the GF bun, the burger was almost raw and the fries were so soggy they were almost mashed potatoes, they also had a strange chemical taste. Meal went right into the trash, not driving all the way back. Been here a few times before and the BBQ is hit or miss. This will be the last time I order from here.

Katie Rusher

Thoughtful menu and delicious meals. Great service from Emma. Don’t skip the delicious (gluten free) peach cobbler cheesecake!

Joanne Dicicco

We arrived five minutes after one but the person behind the counter said read the sign,very disappointed! People just walked out with a box in there hand.

Yosaku in Portland, ME, is a gem for authentic Japanese cuisine. I've been a patron for the last 8 years, and their Teuchi Soba, a gluten-free noodle made from 100% buckwheat flour, is a must-try. Unlike other soba that often contains wheat, Yosaku's commitment to quality is evident. With new ownership, there's been a subtle shift in taste, yet the restaurant maintains its excellent atmosphere and flavors. Their sushi and sashimi selection is extensive, including weekly specials. If you're lucky, you might even get to try their Otoro. For fish lovers, their Hamachi-Kama (Grilled Yellowtail Collar) is a delight, offered at a very reasonable price but in limited quantities.

Lisa McComiskey

The food was good and it had many g/f options. My daughter is celiac and told the waitress many times before ordering that she has an allergy. They then brought her food on a non gluten free bun. The waitress said “my bad” which then left my daughter to eat alone because they had to remake her food . This leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She never apologized, nothing. I was very disappointed. If you have an allergy beware, they don’t take it seriously.

CC McGinn

I literally ordered 2 stacks of the blueberry gluten free pancakes and neither survived. And these were not skimpy stacks. They were the perfect treat to have on my birthday. Delicious coffee and so many other yummy pastries and gluten free options! I would go here every morning if I lived in Maine! Absolutely incredible!

J C

Great food, service, and prices! They were kind enough to get us a table even though it would go past closing time and were also one of the only places our girls could eat because they had gluten-free pancakes! Highly recommend!

Maren Devane

Gluten free grilled cheese no extra charge? YES. I didn't choose the celiac life, it forced itself upon me. This was a SUPER exciting find for the day after our bar crawl when we desperately needed carbs and comfort. The grilled cheeses were great but I was really impressed by the tomato soup, which I don't normally like!

Milan Barlov

Good if you’re have celiac. If you’re not move on

David Stock

One of the few seafood places that you can take your gluten intolerant friends! Very good seafood!

Annette Wakely

We have eaten at the bake shop several times and have had wonderful meals every time . Love stopping in eating for breakfast or a late afternoon lunch or a light dinner ,service has been outstanding. The food is fresh and ddelicious. Let me set this up there’s a huge huge selection of gluten-free options as well. . Recommend it highly to anyone looking for someplace for delicious breakfast lunch or dinner

Robert Clark

AMAZING! The place is cute and pristine, menu is temping. Turns out the freindly, knowledgable gent who took our order, cooked and delivered our fabulous meal was the owner of the fishing boat that supplies the restaurant - WOW! Got a hot and a cold lobster roll with a side of whole belly fried clams. Flipped thru a photo book of his fishing boat and crew in action that was on our table while we waited - nice touch. Lobster rolls arrived on large griddled, buttered sweet rolls and were piled high with big chunks and whole claws, mine gently kissed with the lightest amount of mayo - so fresh - WOW, again! My son devoured his hot lobser roll after uttering, "oh wow", after his first bite. The clams were so plump and fresh, so lightly battered and perfectly fried, none clumped together - honestly, we plotzed. Apparently, they're gluten-free, too. They were likely the best I've ever eaten. Packing a cooler on the next trip to bring some fresh fish back from the in-restaurant market. If New England Fishmongers isn't on your 'MUST GO" list for your visit to Kittery, fire your travel planner. Local? RUN, DON'T WALK to this gem!! Sorry, no photos, was too busy enjoying it IRL.

Vanessa Weeks

Great service and great food! Wonderful gluten free options for Italian food.

Daniel Cox

Incredible food and atmosphere. Broad gluten free options, and incredible service by Cassidy B. Thank you!

Robert Cohen, Real Estate

Wild Willy’s Burgers in York, Maine is a must try whenever you are up in this area. The menu is wonderful comfort food and incredibly fresh. With gluten free options, this restaurant is much more inviting than many other places. From March until early November, this is definitely one of our favorite restaurants every time we come up to York, Maine. Enjoy, Robert.

Joseph LaChance

Dedicated Gluten Free Fryer/Kitchens space. Love the Sea Basket!!!

Jen Willis

First time here, despite multiple visits to Freeport, as we only live an hour away. Menu had a lot of options that appealed to us as my husband is GF due to Celiac. We were excited & decided to try Linda’s instead of our usual restaurant choice. Unfortunately, half way thru his haddock melt he pulled a black hair out of his mouth! Instant spoiler. He couldn’t even eat his fries & coleslaw after this. Waiter offered a free dessert, which is a difficult option for someone with Celiac Disease and his appetite now gone from the disgusting hair. Paid for a meal that half of it was wasted. Won’t take a chance again. We will stick to the Bistro Grill for dining when in Freeport

jennifer billings

All of their fried foods are gluten free!!!! Yay! Game changer for our son.

Dorothy Towle

My best friend got me a vegan/gluten free carrot cake cupcake. I was a bit skeptical of how this would taste and my husband said there was no way it would be good. WOW were we wrong!! It was amazing! We now can't stop talking about it and want to try everything else they offer. You can tell they really enjoy what they do!

I always order takeout here since my husband gets takeout at another restaurant nearby. The food has always been great! I like the food here because of the large gluten free menu. When I order seafood I always ask for the lunch size which is plenty for me. The last 3 times ordering I’ve paid for the dinner size and probably received dinner size, but ordered lunch size. This last time if my husband hadn’t verified if it was gluten free I would have had a meal I couldn’t eat. He had to wait an extra 10 minutes for a new batch. Again it was the dinner size which is fine, but not what I ordered. In the meantime his food he picked up was now cold. I recommend when ordering over the phone have them read your order back to you and verify the price. Also verify when picking up you get what you ordered especially if you have dietary restrictions. The online menu prices have not been updated for quite some time and are off by quite a bit. We requested a takeout menu to keep on hand.

William G

Well, 1st, we informed the waitresswe would be gluten free, due to celiac allergy. Next, I wish we'd taken photos of our meal to showcase some nice touches and some so so touches. Drinks were fun and creative. The caprese salad small a size. Fried green tomatoes, nice. The ceaser salad with grilled salmon spot on. The braised pork and polenta, nice flavors. The gluten free wild mushroom Alfredo was more the serving size for an appetizer. Flour less chocolate cake, scrumptious. Kinda a mixed bag for some items. 3 stars

Roozie F

Had them a couple times from co-workers brought my daughter in this am got some for the family. Exceeded expectations The maple with bacon 🥓 is my new favorite.... even the gluten free is good Hands down the best donuts & coffee - conversation in town. This place really cares about their customers and quality Just an all around great family business . And one of my favorite mom and pop shops in Maine

Megan Lewia

Went here with my best friend after Christmas shopping. She has celiac and we both wanted tacos. This has hands down the freshest most delicious tacos we’ve ever had. Our server, who also seemed to be the bartender, was super attentive and kept our waters full without asking. We will be coming back!

Katrina Georgiou

Delicious gluten free lobster rolls!

Hannah Marrcarr

Absolutely delicious. Made fried haddock and shrimp that my 3 toddlers devoured. Their bang bang shrimp special was delicious, and it was amazing to have fried pickles and onion rings gluten free!

Emily Renegar

I really wanted to like this place, but the service we received was very poor. We sat for at least 10 minutes before anyone touched our table, and when they did it wasn’t our server and the woman wasn’t apologetic at all, gave a rude response when I told her no one had come by yet. Then the server did not apologize either when she finally came over. Didn’t touch our table for a long time after our food came (which also took SO LONG) and I had to flag her down for drink refills. Only giving three stars because they had a lot of gluten free options which I really appreciated.

Ion Balaurea

Large Selection. Super Fast and Friendly service. Gluten Free Option Had the Lobster Roll and Shrimp Roll Both were delicious. Large portions One is enough for two usually. Depending on what you buy,

Victoria Johnson

Celiac friendly with lots of gluten free options.

Jennifer Hill

We had a wonderful lunch there today. We sat outside on the cute street and enjoyed beautiful weather. Gretchen was our server, and she was very kind and helpful. They have an extensive menu of options and gluten free menu was wonderful too! Inside of the restaurant was a fun atmosphere, and it was very clean. We highly recommend for fresh seafood and great service.

Laurie Theriault

GLUTEN-FREE!!! YAAAAY!! I had a sausage and onion gluten-free pizza that was delicious and French fries that were sooo good! So nice to find a place that has gluten-free that tastes good!!!

Jai Patel

Wow this place was really awesome! There was a ton of hype online about them so I was a bit skeptical…but wow did they deliver! What I appreciated was how good the gluten free and vegetarian options there were - it’s a small menu so I’m glad we had some choices. I got the mapo tofu and my girlfriend got a lamb ramen that they made gluten free. The non alcoholic drinks were really fun and whimsical as well! Would recommend!

Maura Hodge

Stopped in today, Christmas Eve, looking for a quick bite. I know it can stink to be working today- despite this, the girls at the counter were so bright and cheerful. They were kind and funny, and provided excellent service. They also were very knowledgeable about a gluten allergy. Besides the service, the food is excellent. So delicious and we can’t wait to come back.

Dustin Kniffin

The food was some of the best we have had in a while. The gluten free toast was amazing. Burger was great and cinnamon bun French toast was great! Highly recommend

Benjamin Senecal

The Butcher Burger did a great job cooking the burger. The toppings went together well and produced an overall good experience. They offer gluten free buns that are a good size and taste good. The table seating is only outside with all the indoor seating being either at the bar or facing out the window. The inside does smell a bit smoky with all the cooking happening in the building, so you may want to eat outside if that bothers you.

Side Pipe

This place is #1 on our list for trips to Maine. We actually drove 4 hours because of how fabulous Stones Throw is. The food is sooo good. We’ve had several meals here and made a second trip just weeks apart. We booked the Nevada and never left the block. The best gluten free bread my sweetheart has ever had. Lobster rolls called us back! You do not leave here hungry! The portions are too much! And the bill….i checked to see if they forgot to charge something that we ordered. It didn’t seem like enough. What a great place with sensational staff!!

Emily Wascholl

Having allergies to Gluten, I was extremely impressed with their gluten free selection! Great food and fun atmosphere.

John Lopez

A small, very busy and festive environment that is worth the wait. The food here was amazing. This is a safe haven for celiacs (gluten free) and almost everything on the menu is gluten free with a handful of exceptions. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer questions.

Chin Down

Great food and atmosphere, kid friendly, gluten free options for most the menu.

Lorna Brown

The power was out at our home so I decided to grab a pizza and salad. I had the gluten free Speckacular. It was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Caesar Salad was abundant and tasty. The staff were very friendly and it is a welcoming atmosphere. I had taken it to go to sit by the river but I would have been equally as pleased to sit in the restaurant.
