My sis is gluten-free, and for the first time in a long time, she was able to select things she normally would not be able to select. Plus the food was great! We will definitely visit Erie Street Kitchen again!

Delicious food. Great portion size. And the Mac and cheese was so good it made me take a nap after. I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, my fiancee has celiac so it's hard to find a lot of places that have good variety for her to eat. This place was amazing and so good. I'm so glad we finally got the chance to try it and we'll definitely be back.

We ate indoors on a cool Friday evening in April. Not your typical Mexican fare. I had a poblano pepper stuffed with squash and vegan cheese. I enjoyed my house margarita, best I've had in a while. Vegetarian and gluten free available.

This is the third place I stopped at for Nachos while in the Cleveland area. Next time, I'll skip the others and just come here! It was hands down the best, love the salsa bar and love the patio and that it was Gluten Free!!! I'll be back!

This is my first google review! *This is for anyone wondering about food allergies/accommodations.* My boyfriend and I visited Bell Tower last night. We usually don’t eat out due to his allergies/food preferences. In the past I’ve gone out here with my family and we love it. My boyfriend has a severe peanut allergy, along with legumes, and is an egg-free vegetarian. We ordered a veggie wrap and asked for no chickpeas/falafel. When it was served, it had falafel in the wrap. I quickly asked the bartender and they remade it beautifully! The manager on duty (who was spectacular) took it off the bill along with my side of French fries. He also gave us a heart felt apology and promised they’d do better next time. We said it’s alright and we understood mistakes happen. I’ve worked in many food service jobs, so I have a lot of understanding for people in the front and back of house. :) My boyfriend LOVED the veggie wrap, it was filling, and we really enjoyed our time. If you are in need of a friendly place for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, they have plenty of options! In Kent, it’s hard to find places to accommodate and Bell Tower exceeded our expectations ❤️. Thank you again guys!!!

I told her I wanted a burger wrapped in lettuce for a gluten allergy and she was so nice and made sure the cooks knew and they put that burger in a separate bag to ensure there wasn't any contamination :)

They have a gluten free pizza crust that doesn't taste bad, like... Actually tastes good! like I only mourn my dietary restriction some when I'm there (I mean, I can still remember but their real pizza crust tastes like, and it isn't as good as that.) Our servers always ask if it's a preference or an allergy (kudos) and when I was newly diagnosed the server thought of things I didn't, like leaving croutons off the salad.

I took my client here and the food was so speedy even though they were full up. I had the bartender serve me and it was great! I’m always there for the gluten free :) and those sweet potato tots! And sorry I can’t seem to find my photos for here but yum!

This place has a great atmosphere— fancier inside than i was initially expecting. Everything was super delicious— our martinis and wine were great, the vegetarian trio and falafel were great starters, people were drinking the sauce from the mussels, the entrees were all delicious and the service was good. The owners thanked us for visiting as well. The vegan alfredo is a nice plant based option, although i’d call it more of a vodka sauce than alfredo. There are other vegan menu items as well as some gluten free options so everyone can enjoy. If you’re in Kent for a date night or for a family dinner, this would be a great place to go! Thanks!

Great that they had a gluten free beer! Not great to be completely ignored by the bartender for like half an hour.
