Always have a decent selection of gf

My wife and I absolutely love coming here, and it has become our favorite Thai spot. The service here has always been amazing, we've always been taken care of, and they're always friendly. The food is always spot on in terms of presentation, flavor, and variety. The one thing I will call out is that some of the prices don't make a lot of sense. My wife, who has a gluten allergy, always gets the pineapple fried rice with beef which ends up being around $20. Which is quite pricey for fried rice of any kind. My normal go-to, panang curry with chicken usually runs about $16. Although, it's been a fairly minor concern in our overall experience with this location. Again, we love this place and suggest you give them a try.

Variety of Impressive menu items!! Service was excellent. Helpful, kind, and courteous table visit check ins! Family had the smash burgers; everyone approved ~ especially our 15 yr old, highly approves! And after a 7am swim meet! :) I had one of three available specials; turkey burger= outstanding!! TRULY! Very juicy & thick, flavorful caramelized toppings& gluten-free bun! On the tables~ habanero hot sauce, perfect touch. Lots of GF/V options! Can’t wait to go back for the plantains, Brussels, & jasmine rice bowls! Yum. Open late Fri-Sat too! Thanks guys! Best wishes!

This was our first time coming here and the food and service were absolutely amazing!! They were very attentive to our needs and friendly. My two sisters have Crohn’s disease so finding a place with gluten free options is always a plus!! We will definitely be back soon!!

Richard Godfrey

The food did not disappoint. Gluten free options available.

Ruth Mott

The cauliflower crust pizzas are so good you don’t even know they’re gluten free. Great food and service. Our favorite casual date night spot.

Claire Felczak

Swig and Swine never disappoints on the food! First time here with our 8 year old that has celiac’s. Kaylyn, our server, went above and beyond to make sure she was accommodated. They can create a kids meal from the GF menu (up charges required for the more expensive meats). Kaylyn didn’t forget about us gluten eaters either 🤣 Completely wonderful experience!

One of my all-time favorite places to consistently come back to. They have a menu with plenty of variety. I will continue to come back here routinely. As an added bonus, they have a gluten free menu with many options.

Steph

Amazing poke bowls. Fresh, and good ingredients. Very good with marking which toppings and sauces contain gluten. Definitely recommend 👌

El Y Yo

Will definitely take 💯 caution when you have an allergy. They are the best love, their gluten-free crust. Love that they cut in squares and absolutely love the have green olives.

Cordenia Bennett

They have gluten free breakfast options!!

Patricia Thomas

Absolutely amazing! Best gluten-free options in town!! The baker is amazing! Shrimp and grits are the best I ever had. Including halls steak house

Project Pearl

amazing pizza!! this is my second time coming to this location, driving from Daniel Island even thought there is one on DI, the Oakbrook location it is by far the best of the Famulari’s in the area. I ordered a gluten free and NY style pizza and they are both always great. The crust is always perfectly cooked with perfect sauce to cheese to toppings ratio. Their balsamic glaze and garlic butter dip is delicious! Both of my orders were carry out but the atmosphere of the place felt incredibly welcoming and just like a pizza shop I grew up going to. Highly recommend this place!

Really REALLY loved the selection of gluten free treats! They had a display that was entirely GF- paradise. They had sugar cookies, pumpkin choco chip muffins, and my personal favorite, the apple cider donut warmed up 😍 It was a cinnamon sugar delight!! Will definitely be stopping here more often with all the amazing food and drink options 😊 Also had a thai oatmilk tea with boba which is always a hit 👍🏻

Darrell Blake

Gluten free bun, thank you! Sometimes you just want an amazing burger with more than lettuce for a bun.

Five Guys is a popular burger chain known for its fresh, made-to-order burgers. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere and a simple menu, but the food is always delicious. I recently visited a Five Guys and was impressed with the staff's knowledge of the menu and their willingness to accommodate allergies. I have a gluten allergy and the waiter was able to recommend several dishes that were safe for me to eat. He also offered to make my burger on a lettuce wrap, which I appreciated. I ended up ordering the "All the Way" burger, which is topped with cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and pickles. The burger was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The toppings were all fresh and the lettuce wrap was a great option for people with gluten allergies. I also tried the fries, which are hand-cut and cooked in peanut oil. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were seasoned perfectly and were a great accompaniment to the burger. Overall, I had a great experience at Five Guys. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the staff was knowledgeable about allergies. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good burger.

Omg the gluten free waffle was so good. The staff was so friendly and worked well together, helped eachother when needed. The fruit was fresh as well. Definitely coming back!

We made a reservation and needed a high chair but came to find out they don’t have high chairs… which was interesting. Not sure if that’s because they don’t “encourage” children coming, but at that point we had to decide if we were going to be able to stay. We were going to make it work since it had been a long day and we had 2 kids under 5 that were hungry and cranky. We asked if there was a table outside because they originally were gonna seat us right in the center of the restaurant and we did NOT want to disturb the guests around us. Thankfully they were kind enough to let us get a table outside on their beautiful patio. They even had someone come turn the heat lamps on which they totally didn’t have to because it was so nice out. Once we finally got settled in, our server came to greet us and tell us about the specials. She was very nice. I ordered a bottle of wine and when she came to present it, she told me that she was not confident or comfortable with opening the wine and was struggling. I offered to open it for her. I’m only sharing this part because as a food and beverage manager it is essential that my staff knows how to properly open wine bottles for guests, especially those who are spending a money on a decent bottle of wine. But I wasn’t upset, I just think that should be something that is reconsidered for servers in their training. If she didn’t, then someone else should’ve assisted her. I think if it was someone else dining in that would’ve been off putting. However, she was honest and patient and I appreciated that. As for the food, we enjoyed everything. My husband has severe celiac and it was communicated to us what he could have and he thoroughly enjoyed the bolognese. We had an assortment of entrees that all had great flavor and went great with the Italian wine we had. They were not shy on portions at all and we had plenty of food to take home. The creme brûlée was delicious and our server was attentive. Overall we had a great experience and being outside was super clutch with the kiddos.

We went to Oscar's for dinner for a first time visit, and the server was exceptional, even as he was training someone new. The menu was carefully explained to us, and although they didn't have a specific gluten-free menu, the server was very quick to assure me that he could let me know what dishes could be modified for my allergy. My husband had the crab legs for an appetizer (very nice portion size) and the grilles trio oscar-style. I had the braised short ribs. We both had the collard greens (soooo good) and my husband loved the Mac and cheese. The food was wonderful! When I asked about the dessert menu, they showed me the two desserts that were gluten-free. I told them that I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for something with chocolate. Our server told me that he knew they had chocolate torte cake yesterday and could check to see if they still had some leftover. SURPRISINGLY, THEY DID!!!! And that cake was so good! Truly everything was wonderful, and our first visit here is something we won't forget.

Love the family atmosphere and gluten free options!

Jessica G.

It is very expensive but has gluten-free options. We enjoyed our meal, though we were not thrilled with the waitress, and another server kept dropping stuff and making a mess. They did prepare us an anniversary dessert that was special, being it was gluten-free and egg free.

Sylvia Sheridan

We really enjoyed the Ice House Restaurant. We like the atmosphere and the bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered hamburgers and was thrilled that they had a gluten-free option for the bun!

Dee Dee

LGBT friendly, handicapped ramp, clean bathroom, friendly staff, variety of menu food and drinks. Nice decor. Indoor and outdoor seating. Got the egg, cheese and sausage bagel, ham and cheese croissant, Jack Frost drink, Christmas coffee flight and 3 baked goods. All food was good! Gluten-free, non-dairy options

Clifford Mims

They have gluten free buns that are very good. They are careful when making your sub to keep it gluten free.

Leslie Burby

The small menu didn’t state GF but I just asked and they were quick to say they have GF in a size medium only. It was really delicious. Big enough to split with 2 adults. Staff was really great!

Michele Pridgen

Wish there was a gluten free menu because all their food is amazing

Michael Chavis

They were out of the protein pancakes... disappointing, especially since my daughter is insulin resistant... the gluten free option helped.

Pathetic customer service. I called in at 1:42 PM on Saturday Jan 11, 2025 (check your cameras and phone logs McAlister's) I called to ask to purchase a loaf of their gluten free bread. I've gotten it here at least three times over the last two years and the last time was one month ago, beginning of December. My daughter has severe reactions to gluten. They have always sold it to me. They have to charge me by the slice which is expensive, but I never complained as I appreciated the ability to get it here. When I called today, a young man answered the phone and when I put in my request, he laughed at me and said we don't do that. I explained that yes they have in the past. He proceeds to ask another employee laughing at me and telling them he had someone on the phone who wanted to purchase the bread. A female voice in the background said we don't do that. He came back to the phone laughing again and saying this isn't a thing. I asked him did he think I was just making this up? So then I asked to speak to a manager. I heard another male voice in the background say yes we do that but we have to charge by the slice. (which I already knew, so I thought this would solve the problem. Instead he comes on the phone and says nope, we don't do that here. I asked to speak to Mark, another manager who I spoke to last time and knew he would know what to do. Instead they tell me he no longer works there and what I was asking was out of the question. The entire time both males on the phone were laughing at me and making fun of my request. Now if they had said we are under new management and can no longer provide this service would be one thing, but to imply I was crazy and that they have never sold it this way before is not only immature, unprofessional, and very rude, but was very disrespectful and horrible customer service. Do better McAlisters with your training. I will not be revisiting your establishment as well as I am in charge of ordering meals for our corporate lunches, which now you have also lost that business as well. Maybe hitting you in the pocketbook will wake you up to train your employees more professional.

Extremely rude service. I entered politely. I waited as the person behind the counter was preparing call ahead orders and when he was finally ready I expressed I have a gluten allergy and he acted as if they didn’t care. He was completely unaware what had gluten and was disinterested in finding out, quite litterally shrugged his shoulders when I asked what my limitations are. The girl who was at the register tried to interject to help but unfortunately wasn’t sure it seemed as well. Just a very uncomfortable experience.

Delicious as always but I have to say Kudos on the GLUTEN FREE crust!. Well done, great texture, great crunch... not a soggy mess using pre-made cauliflower crusts. Thank you so much for going the extra mile with this Delicious addition to your menu!!!

Stacie White

Small hole in the wall cafe style diner. It was a little crowded and the menus were dirty, however, the food was absolutely delicious and the portions were perfect. My son's got the hot ham & cheese. I got the Eclectic House Salad with raspberry vinaigrette which was fresh and filling. I am celiac so I requested they change gloves and they happily obliged.

This is a great Viva Chicken location. Their quality and care to ensure my meals are prepared just right (gluten free, vegan options) has me returning time and time again. Shayla (general manager) goes above and beyond to also ensure that my catering orders are a positive experience for all the various office/allergy needs. Labels everything to perfection. Could not ask for more. Thank you! Grateful!

Deanna Tarraza

Clean, Fresh, Delicious, Well Priced. I’ve come here a few times now and everything I’ve ordered has been excellent. I didn’t realize they had breakfast so I ordered a bacon, ham, veggie omelette and it was fantastic. Super tasty and filling. They also have a wide range of gluten free and dairy free options.

Caribooty

Great food. Excellent presentation and flavor. Large portions for the price. Best tasting rice that I’ve had. Many gluten free options. Pleasant staff.Highly recommended!

mTa

Excellent quality with gluten free options, salads, flatbread pizzas and more. Try the charged up lemonades! 🥤

Kelly A. Calhoun

The shrimp and avocado salad is my staple here. It is SO GOOD! I usually stop here in SUMMERVILLE for a bite to eat when I arrive into town for work - they have fab gluten free options too. Great spot for a quick lunch on weekdays too. I think that the menu pretty much has something for everybody. Oh yea, they have WINE!!! xoxo, K

Hannah Parker

I ate at Toast this last week while I was in Summerville. Cay, Emily, amd Dominique were amazing. They were so polite and attentive. The breakfast food was amazing. I am gluten sensitive so I had a lot of questions and Cay was able to answer all of them. I definitely recommend visiting Taste if you're in the Summerville area.

Sentoki

Such a great chill spot to enjoy delicious drinks and yummy food with a sweet and helpful staff!! Gluten free and dairy free options which I appreciate. Highly recommend 👌

Darcy Spangler

The food is great! Love the tacos. They are gluten free also!

Shannen

Food was delicious! Service was quick and very nice. Love the brick floor. Pictured is the steak & eggs and eggs Benedict. I'm gluten free and dairy free so our server checked to make sure the steak wasn't marinaded in worcestershire sauce and they didn't use any butter. Very thankful for that so I didn't get sick!

Brooke Rieke

The owners are the sweetest around. I called to see if they were open after the first day of school to get my children ice cream. The owner answered and shared they were closed. However, she exclaimed she was there so we could keep our tradition and come on in for the sweet treat! What a wonderful thing to do. Each flavor was delicious with many gluten free options. What a wonderful place. We can’t wait to go back!

Syd Hipp

Amazing food! Mussels, salmon, and scallops were all great. Highly recommend for date night :) I have celiac and there were a ton of gluten free options for me.

Kevin James

Nice fast and super friendly. Catered to my wife's Celiac issues.

Linda Pepper

Outside of the good service, quiet atmosphere and good coffee — they don’t up charge for plant milk, they use compostable cups and have gluten free treats
