This place is awesome! the gluten free bolognese is incredible and they made a dairy free substitution for my allergies!!

Nicole Reina

Wonderful food with a variety of health-conscious options including gluten free and dairy free, including their desserts. We loved it so much we went back twice in the same day haha. Parking is the only challenge, but the food and very friendly service makes it worth it. Highly recommend!

Warren Childers

I have been lots of time and the Armored Cow is a great place to grab a cold beer. They have a wide variety of different beers including sours and gluten free beers. And there is always some new flavor to try. Friendly staff and plenty of seating. There is a good food truck there as well.

Jersey was our waitress and absolutely was amazing. We came with 3 children and she did everything to make sure the whole family was happy. You can’t find great waitresses like her anymore but she goes over and beyond to ensure her customers are well taken care of. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience. Our family is gluten free so going to a breakfast place with gluten free pancakes/ waffles is really a treat for us. Not only are they gluten free but they are so delicious to eat!

Sean Carlin

Amazing menus that you would not know was over 90% gluten free. This is how it should be done. Most people just go here because the food is great, and those of us who can’t eat at most restaurants can just be like a normal customer here.

Lindsey

Pastas are great! They have Gluten Free & it is quite tasty. Ask for "no salt" - they tend to oversalt their food.

Greg Forrest

What a gem. Breakfast sandwich far exceeded my expectations. And they have gluten free bread that is good. Wine and beer hall with cool patio out front. I'll be back.

Amber Easterling

Had a really great lunch here with my mom. They cook their gluten free pizza on a separate pan and use separate utensils. You do need to let them know that you have celiac so they can note for the kitchen to take extra safety precautions. They offer vegan cheese for those that are dairy free as well!

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free on a separate surface. They also have a full bar. Perfect for brunch! 3 Charlotte locations! We got the Pineapple upside down pancakes and the Spuds Deluxe!

Burger 21 offers a diverse menu with options for various dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free. The prices were reasonable, considering the food and service quality. Overall, the dining experience at Burger 21 was exceptional. The welcoming atmosphere, service, and expertly crafted dishes made for an unforgettable evening. Burger 21 is highly recommended for anyone looking for a culinary adventure. Planning a return visit to explore more menu options is already underway.

Alison V.

Amazing food! A lot of natural and organic ingredients with transparent sourcing. So many gluten free options too.

Dana Davis

We happened upon this amazing pizza when we were downtown while on a recent trip to Charlotte. Our daughter is gluten free and it was by far the best pizza we have ever had. The GF crust is made in house and was fabulous. Highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a great GF pizza.

Amber Easterling

They have a variety of options that are extremely safe for those that have celiac disease. A majority of items are already gluten free or can be made gluten free! The fryers are 100% gluten free along with a spare pizza oven. Any of the pizzas can be made gluten free. It is prepared on cauliflower crust! All pastas can be made gluten free and are prepared in separate boiler to maintain no cross-contamination. I was there for a girls night, so we just ordered small dishes to share. I’d love to try the pasta and pizza. The restaurant in itself is extremely nice.

Kaycee Edwards

I have found myself here multiple times since I found this place. Not only are the employees and service wonderful, if you have to be gluten free this place is the jackpot! It allows you to enjoy a burger without missing gluten in the slightest. The gluten free buns are soft and delicious and they made sure to tell me the fries are not gluten free as well. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a burger and milkshake!

Lizz Newing

Everything on the menu is gluten free!! Some vegan options too! I love the Mac and cheese bowl and hubby had the Mahana bowl. Great prices for a good amount of food. Did I mention that everything is gluten free??

Rebecca Woods

Delicious drinks, fantastic food, great service. I especially appreciate that they can make a majority of the menu gluten-free for those of us that are celiacs. They have a fantastic menu of mocktails as well. Definitely plan on going back

Mary Lathem

Delicious gluten free waffle! Alma has been our server twice and she is always so lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

Chasity Walker

On a road trip with my family 1/3 of us are gluten free due to celiac. We found this place on find me gluten free app and it’s the best pizza I’ve had in a minute. They had extensive gluten free options and everything we tried was delicious! Everyone was so nice and the place was clean too. I wish we lived closer because we’d be regulars!! The only way it could’ve been better is if they had more seating inside, but it was all amazing

Lindsey G

GLUTEN FREE REVIEW: Absolutely amazing experience with endless Gluten Free options available - both appetizers came with gluten free bread. All pizzas can be made on gluten free crust and pastas can be made with gluten free noodles! Bonus that there is no up charge for gluten free. The flavors of everything were amazing and the atmosphere was great! Our favorites were the mussels and whipped ricotta. Heads up that the chopped salad was spicy!! We didn’t get to try a gluten free pasta but will be back to do so!

Anton Kossack

Honestly, our waitress was not great. We didn't make it easy for her, with a large group, but she tried to charge us for several drinks more than once, forgot to bring out a gluten-free pizza and forgot one meal completely. We were joking about it when she took the order - it would have been easier had she taken notes of our order!

Jonathan Mayhorn

This place is a favorite. It has something for nearly everyone, with gluten free and vegetarian options. The falafel is delicious!

Cat Rutstein

Rae is wonderful! So helpful and so attentive. Their seasonal berry French toast is amazing. This is one of the few places in south end that offers gluten free options for breakfast. They modify as many things to meet your dietary restrictions as they can, which is greatly appreciated from a girl who needs gluten free food.

Amber Easterling

Had a delicious burger and slaw for lunch. They offer gluten free buns. They do not have a dedicated fryer, so no fried foods are safe. Gluten free sushi is marked on the menu or you can crate your own.

Ebonique Morman

Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

Amber Easterling

This is an amazing place for gluten free options! They have GF options listed on their menu, but can modify many other items. They have gluten free pasta cooked in separate water and they offer rice crust and cauliflower crust pizzas cooked on separate surfaces. The owner doesn’t have celiac, but has the gene and is well aware of precautions that should be taken. I got the Chicken Parmesan which was modified from their menu. They grilled the chicken instead of frying and used GF pasta. We also got the burrata appetizer and they brought me my own GF bread. The bread is purchased from a local bakery. I can’t wait to go back and try the pizza!

Dawn Lineman

Such a beautiful place our server took my gluten free order pizza was great it was a snow day at lunch time so quiet Perfect lunch date

Jesse S

Decent fast casual restaurant with healthy food unless you are salt conscious. Good choice of vegetarian and gluten free food. One big complaint: about half the dishes (saucy ones) were way too salty Advice: the kids meal portion is a bit small. My below average sized toddler finished it all and wanted more pasta.

Melinda P

So yummy! Gluten friendly options!

J Miller

I have Celiac disease and Cancer today was a very busy day for me I had a taste for Singapore Mei Fun. The Manager came to me and noticed that I said no heat, no curry no sauce. She suggested to try one of the three sauces she put in my bag. The I used th sauce they use in Lo Mein. It was very tasty, packed with chicken etc the chicken egg roll was cooked to perfection. I am giving a 10 on a scale of five. Job well done I absolutely suggest this restaurant to anyone visiting this weekend. I got the order to go but I am enjoying it as I post this review. Should have taken a photo but it was so good I forgot to lol

Rebecca Noyes

Gluten/Dairy allergies; server was well informed of the allergies and didn't give me that eye roll that those of us with food restrictions know.

Shayna Grogan

Service was 100% (Kaitlyn C.!) Drinks were on point as well. Hot fresh food. Vegan and gluten free options. Server asked us while we ordered drinks if we had any allergies or dietary restrictions. Our first time and surely not our last!

briana battle

I gave a 3 because My food was good (reg diet). however we visited vicious biscuits during to my husband’s gluten intolerance. The gluten free biscuit was extremely burnt and hard as a brick. When we asked for another one we were told the entire batch was this was the same. We were disappointed because we thought had found a restaurant with good gf alternatives.

Lena Harris

TLDR: best gluten free waffle I've had in years!! --- I randomly found this place on Google while visiting the area and decided to give it a try when I saw they had gluten friendly pancakes, waffles, AND french toast available. Most places I see only have 1 on a good day, so this was a refreshing surprise. Now 9 times out of 10, when I get gluten friendly pancakes at a restaurant, the pancakes I make at home are better by a mile (not because I am a chef, but because what is served is basic at best). The waffle here was flavorful, as opposed the syrup on chalk experience I've come to expect since dropping the gluten. Side note: they serve maple syrup instead of the fake stuff too...another pleasant surprise. I'll definitely be making my way back to the chain to get another and try the other two! Service was also fast and attentive, food came out hot, etc. 10s across the board 👏🏾👏🏾

bela c

this place is AMAZING!! their gluten free options are extensive, and the gluten free bun is so soft and delicious. the parmesan truffle fries are to die for, and the milkshakes are out of this world. best burger i’ve had in a very long time. salads are huge and so yummy. service was great, aaliyah did amazing! 10/10 recommend!

Erica Fletcher

We got gluten-free vegan ranch and fries and loaded nachos

Morgan Green

I called ahead and ordered a gluten free pizza because I have Celiac. When I received the pizza and after I ate a couple of bites I realized it wasn’t gluten free. I went back inside and asked to speak to a manager and explained to him the issue. He was very dismissive of the whole situation and just took the pizza and said he would bring a new one out. No apology or refund. I have been to this location and have had an issue before, but most of the time it’s good service and food just terrible management.

Ali Rode

This is worth the trip and excellent with allergies! Celiac and no trouble. Small but good menu.

Stephanie Simon

Girls weekend fun and everyone working was very accommodating for our rambunctious group! Happy to come back, no matter the size of party Everything I ate was wonderful, pretty sure everyone in the party was happy with their food as well Berry Sangria was yummy Zucchini Fritte was perfect especially the dipping sauce - even picky eaters tried this for the first time and liked it =) I tried the spinach artichoke dip, amazing! Tried it on my Zucchini Fritte ...wow, definitely suggest trying those two together Tried the calamari with marinara, don't forget to squeeze the lemon juice on the calamari....brings up the flavor a notch =) My entree was the Chicken Picatta with Gluten-free Penne pasta in place of the spaghetti it comes with. So much flavor, chicken was tender and could cut with my fork, pasta was cooked perfect- especially for Gluten-free pasta 👍🏼👏🏼 I tried a bite off my friend's Chicken Parmigiano- amazing! They also graciously give a military discount, which I always appreciate. We were also there after closing time and they weren't trying to push us out the door =)

300 East, located in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood, is a family-owned restaurant that has been serving American-Eclectic cuisine for over three decades. The warm and quirky atmosphere, set in a charming historic building, adds to its appeal. The menu features creative sandwiches, salads, and entrées, with options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. Notable dishes include the sweet potato ravioli and the grilled hanger steak. The restaurant is also known for its Sunday brunch and delectable desserts. Service is friendly and casual, contributing to a welcoming dining experience.

Looking for a specialty burger and pub restaurant with indoor outdoor seating and great service in an exclusive area in Ballantyne? Boom. Recommend the signature items but you can build your own too! From pancake covered bacon to gluten free or meat optional items, get the Angus beef or Buffalo burgers for outstanding deliciousness. The banana pudding is Devine, the fried pickles are full slices with perfect breading and the sliders are yummilicious. Expect great service and to wait for a table since its always busy.

Eliza Cox

Pollo a la planca was delicious! Definitely order some yuca, either as an appetizer or a side. Accommodating to gluten-free eaters. We will be back!

Dennis Lorich

Very good food, with Gluten Free Options.

Connor Dodd

Food is always great, awesome gluten free options. But man, do not come here if you’re on any sort of schedule. Been trying to leave for the last 30 minutes…. No dice.

Rich Answers

Breakfast and Quirky collided head-on in a purposeful mix of personality and good food. Two steps into this little place had me wondering if I was transported to a restaurant in Berkeley, CA - with its psychedelic color pallet and food choices peppered with all the gluten-frees, and fad food fixings you could come up with. Definitely worth the visit.

DogDadEats

I ordered a grass-fed burger with a gluten-free bun, and it was really disappointing. The burger patty was incredibly tough — probably the toughest I’ve ever had — and the bun was rock solid. Everything was super dry and just not enjoyable. For nearly $20, I expected a lot better. The atmosphere was fine, and the service was decent, but I won’t be coming back.

Katy Phillips

This was fairly quick and easy to customize for my dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). The crust was delicious for gluten free but needed to cook longer. Overall it was a great meal!

Crystal Davies

We really enjoyed our experience here, great food, beautiful atmosphere, and really friendly staff! Love that they have a gluten free menu & are so knowledgeable of cross contamination. Really put my mind at ease.

C S

Loved 800 degrees. The Gluten Free (Cauliflower) pizza was AMAZING.... Ms.Lynda was the nicest server and when we come back we will see if she is working 🙂. *Will definitely visit again

Steven G

I’ve been to this place a few times and it’s consistently pleasant, well priced, and had a unique breakfast menu with plenty of classics. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was busy but surprisingly and relaxed. The gluten free options were really diverse and gave my wife a ton of options. Really enjoyed the iced coffees and the good location, will be back. Joey was our server, he was great too.

Salty Alienz

I’m ecstatic to have found this place! I have celiac disease and it is incredibly hard to find anywhere to eat out when I don’t bring a lunch to work. The menu here has an impressively large variety of gluten free items to choose from as well as gluten free beers & ciders. Eating gluten free meals means food that is usually mediocre at best. Not here. I got the meatloaf, broccoli casserole and a loaded baked potato; it was all wildly delicious. Meatloaf was savory, juicy, perfectly crispy on the edges and by far the best meatloaf I’ve ever eaten. The broccoli casserole tasted like it came straight out of my grandmothers kitchen and topped with lovely little gluten free crispy onions. Even the baked potato was on point with its perfectly thick, crispy bacon. Staff was very friendly with quick service and were more than happy to make accommodations to food requests. I can’t wait to come back!
