The best fish and chips.

Came here the 1st day we were in the area and the food was so excellent, outdoor service allowed us to bring our dog, and they were so knowledgeable about celiac disease and gluten-free that they really put my wife's mind at ease that we came back here 3 more times. We ordered different things on the menu each time and for me the Cuban sandwich was excellent. Next time we're back to visit our friends, we'll be coming back here another 4 times.

Great pizza, songs with great tasting gluten free pizza.

Angel Portalatin

Great place, food is delicious 🤤 gluten free & vegan. Every time we are in Sarasota that’s our HAPPY 😃 PLACE. Our servers Andrey and Matt were great explaining the menu and advise us options. This was the weekend of Saturday May 3rd - Monday May 5th, 2025.

Colby Troyer

This place exceeded expectations. Excellent food, drinks and service. We started with raw clams and spicy margaritas and then had two pasta dishes for entrees. My partner is gluten free and they offer gluten free pasta which was great! Everything tasted and was presented beautifully. Serving sizes were very generous - I took at least half my entree home! Our server was friendly, professional and quick. We will be back!

Christina Harrold

Picked up my 2 large pizzas, 1 gluten free pizza and a Greek salad one hour prior to closing- the Greek salad was bland and non of the ingredients were chopped- the gluten free pizza was probably the best GF pizza I’ve ever had. My family said the regular pizzas were good. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good pizzas place.

Amazing place! I am vegan and gluten free this place offers everything you can imagine and more! Vegan food is beyond good. I don’t even know how they create such a delicious food! Thank you Ka Pappa! Highly recommend it and I am definitely coming back 🌱

Lindsay Johnson

They have an excellent happy hour! Also the most delicious homemade gluten free pita. The tzatziki dip is the best I've ever had and saganaki is a childhood favorite. Highly recommend this location.

Thomas G

Wow. Why didn't we find this place earlier on our vacation. If you are looking for delicious gluten free or vegan options, then this is your place. Great, cozy restaurant with about 10 tableclothed tables inside and 10 outside. The service was impeccable. Portions are European in size (plenty, but not huge). The Angus burger was delicious. And we absolutely loved the apple/orange tart for dessert. And apparently they serve breakfast + lunch too so will have to come back to try that.

Karin D

My first time here. The perfect choice and a great evening. The food was delicious. I’m celiac as well as having a dairy allergy. My waitress Julia couldn’t have been more accommodating. She made sure my meal was perfect. Very friendly and professional. Top notch service! Brian the manager was excellent. He too made sure I had the best service as well as making me feel like family while there. I was celebrating my birthday and he went out of his way to make the evening a great one for me. Great restaurant and great staff. Highly recommended :)

Hali Lyn

A bit pricey but not as bad as some other similar places. Good gluten and dairy free options.

Lisa Shepard

I have to say being Gluten Free, I have never had such delicious pizza! I had the white pizza and Oak and Stone is my go to for pizza , bar none Haleigh provided lovely experience, comparable , sweet and excellent service Hostess also, exceptional ! I love this place

Corene Vaillancourt

Most gluten free options on a delicious menu than we've seen in a long time. Gluten free CRAB CAKES!!! Who makes those?! This place does and they are excellent! The Gluten free pans Cotta dessert was one of the best gf desserts I've ever had. Service was wonderful and the atmosphere & decor are top notch. If you are looking for a very special restaurant...you've found it!

Justin Oliva

GLUTEN FREE SAFE!! First off, I never write online reviews but I feel compelled to do so with Stiks. This restaurant has quickly become one of our favorite spots to eat at in Sarasota. The food is always made fresh (and fast), everyone is always SUPER friendly and the place is decorated with a very chill vibe and ALWAYS kept clean. Both my wife and daughter have Celiac disease and cannot tolerate any cross contamination. I'm here to tell others with the same disease that this place is very safe for you to eat at. They've never been cross contaminated here and we always enjoy the food. This place IMO is a hidden gem in Sarasota and especially for those that wish they can eat this kind of food but fear cross contamination. I highly recommend you give it a try, you won't regret it!

Jim Gentsch

Outstanding Mountain omelette! Solid gluten-free options. Also the smoked salmon Benedict was spectacular!! Great spot for breakfast food.

Robert Lindsey

Had a wonderful family dinner. Great unique dinners that are not at other restaurants. Very accommodative for gluten free selecvisit. Wonderful waitress, Sam. Price was great. Well worth the vusit.

alison stripling

As much as I love Culver's, recently I've been having a major problem as I have to be gluten-free. They forgot about half of my order like the toppings I've ordered and then they forget the condiments. Their food is delicious though that's why I keep going back

Paula Pereira

Great place to eat! I can always count on Bonefish Grill when I'm hungry and need something tasty and filling. I'm gluten free and they have a dedicated menu for us GF peeps. Servers are always friendly and attentive. I always get the sirloin and shrimp with the garlic potatoes. Make sure to try the chimmichurri, it's wonderful with the steak and shrimp! Everyone in my family gets the same thing because it's so tasty. And yes, it's on the gluten free menu. There's also gluten free desserts, there are two you can enjoy: The Macadamia Nut Brownie and the Creme Brûlée. Great atmosphere, service, consistently great food, dietary restriction friendly... What's not to love? This place is a staple for my household.

Kevin Amick

Great place to stop when heading home from Venice. Always a great meal and Gluten free bun option.

Shanna Stevenson (Savvy Snickerdoodle)

Always an amazing food experience. Lots of gluten free options and very accommodating. Their Alfredo sauce is the best I have ever had. So Good.

JB Ackley

Call ahead if it’s dinner time. The food is worth the wait. Descent beer selection and a lot of food options. The menu clearly states what can be accommodated as gluten free.

Tina B

We had a wonderful time here today for lunch. Loved the menu selections, something for every appetite. The gluten free bread is a quality brand and goes well with a sandwich. The portion sizes are just right for the pricing. We were seated right away and had great service from multiple team members throughout our lunch. The manager Jay, comes right up to your table and says hi, which I love, a nice personal touch which makes you feel welcomed and not rushed. This place is busy! I loved seeing how much fun the staff was having while giving great service. Next time we will sit outside on the water side, it looks beautiful. Definitely a great spot to meet up with friends and family! P.s. the mimosas are fantastic!

Jerry Cisar

My wife and I love Thai food and have been to a ton of Thai restaurants. Living in St. Petersburg, we hadn't tried Isan previously. We will certainly find reasons to drive here again. Outstanding. Also, the menu has clearly marked what is or is not gluten free. Try the Thai Papaya salad. Excellent! Service was outstanding also.

We absolutely loved our experience at Kojo Sarasota, hands down the best sushi in town! Beautiful salon, bar and high tables as well, gets very crowded but still feels spacious enough. The food was outstanding!! Every dish was packed with great flavors and well prepared. You can truly taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite, which makes the whole experience even better. Great menu, The sushi rolls were outstanding, and the seaweed crunchy taco was such a fun and delicious surprise. We also tried the greens and Brussels sprouts, and they were incredible too, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The cocktails were top-notch, crafted with high quality products and creativity. On top of that, the service was excellent — everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere is elegant and classy, with a beautiful design that makes it perfect for a special night out. We celebrated a birthday, and Kojo made it unforgettable with a complementary dessert and some bubbly, a thoughtful and classy touch! They also offer a separate gluten-free menu, which is a huge plus. Overall, we had an awesome time, a very unique experience and can’t wait to come back and try other delicious dishes. 5 stars for this great restaurant. Truly the best sushi experience in Sarasota!

Mary Blase

We visited for the first on Mother's Day for lunch. It was not very crowded. The atmosphere and decor were casual. Everything was clean. The server was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing! I had the chicken pesto sandwich, which was a generous size, moist and flavorful. Gluten free buns were available! We sampled some appetizers. The Brussels sprouts were so good, as were the hush puppies, pretzels and house made beer cheese dip. I was impressed at the quality standards. Grassfed beef, sustainably sourced seafood, organic produce and even biodegradable cutlery. And, to top it off, they gave me a complimentary brownie a'la mode with strawberries!! We WILL be back!

Robert Ivins

Amazing food, staff, and atmosphere. The restaurant was very accommodating to my wife’s Gluten allergy. The smoked chicken was so moist and Gluten free with savory sides to match. It is very difficult to find a restaurant that produces true Gluten free with such amazing quality and taste, yet we have found the diamond in the rough with Yoders!. They even offer a multitude of pies both gluten free and traditional. I have never had a better pie in my life. The answer is yes this should be your next meal!

Matt Donovan

Super great product & Staff, With FushiPoke i know all will be well w/ my gluten-free needs (not just preference.) Creative, clean casual atmosphere. My go to is the no-protein bowl with white rice, daikon, ginger, guac, edamame and housemade spicy mayo, gf spicy soy is a treat any time of day. I've had it many times for lunch or dinner. Leilani, Kennedy, Arlo, Moses, Christian & other professional/accomodating/friendly staff (i forgot names right now) make sure your bowl is stellar everytime!

Brooke Pistole

My husband and I ate here everyday of our stay at the resort. The food and service are impeccable. My husband and I are gluten free and they have amazing options for dinner and breakfast. 5 stars all the way :-)

Ryan Mohr

Really impressive. So many beautiful baked goods including gluten friendly options. Spectacular coffee. Nice space, popular so usually loud, not a complaint just an observation.

Bobcut Karen

UPDATE 1/3/25: Ate here 8 times in 5 days. Still amazing. Additional recommendations, ribeye (size and taste align with the price), coconut shrimp and calamari REVIEW 12/29/23 5 stars are few, BUT triple tail deserves it! Back Story: I was craving a grilled chicken sandwich with a gluten free bun and my brain and stomach said “no other option it HAS to be that”. After calling 5 restaurants, being prompted to go online, unable to speak to a real person, or gluten free buns being unavailable it was the restaurant who specializes in seafood who: -Answered the phone -Had the most pleasant and professional young lady take my order -Accommodated all my requests (I’m extra and ask to add or remove a lot of things, I am a Karen after all) -Meal was executed perfectly -Atmosphere and restaurant interior is beautiful and cozy -Quality far exceeded the cost Recommendation - Grilled chicken sandwich on gluten free bun, with fries. Side of honey mustard (for fries) Sweet chili sauce (for the chicken sandwich). Chicken was juicy, GF bun was fluffy No pictures included #ToHungryToTakeaPic ✅ Karen Approved!

Robert Lindsey

Excellent food and they catered to Celiac - gluten free, very knowledgeable. Great variety of food on the menu.

Mike Oliver

Was there in mid December 2024, sat outside, waiter was great, had burgers (I am GF, had the swiss mushroom on GF bread, no issue, but I am not celiac), burgere were exceptionally good. Espresso Martini also very good. Will be back!

Dave Walker

Classic New York Jewish deli, food, and more. Good gluten-free options available. Pastrami was a little greasy, but had great Smoky flavor. If you like deli pickles, be sure to order - they're good, and they were only .10 for two.

Rachel Isabella

Amazing Thai food!! Got fresh rolls and chicken pad Thai. Always love having delicious gluten free food! Thanks!

Amy B

They sell fresh baked goods. Wonderful and flavorful salads. The gluten free pizza is delicious

Alexandra Archer

The blueberry streusel gluten free keto doughnut was shockingly good. Hard to believe really. My husband had a breakfast sandwich that was also great. Atmosphere inside was calm and exactly what we wanted.

Carrie Dunn

We had Damian as our server, and he was so much fun! They were pretty busy, and I only noticed 2 people taking care of all the tables. Damian, let us give our whole order. He didn't have his notepad as he was only planning on our drink orders. However, he memorized our order, and the order came out exactly as it was given. It wasn't the easiest order, either. My husband and I both got crepes, with mine being a gluten-free crepe. The food and service were great. It's too bad we don't live closer, because this would be a new favorite.

Thomas G

Smaller breakfast restaurant with about 10 tables inside and a few outside. There always seems to be a wait, but their breakfast was worth the 40 minute wait. The coffee was good, though not exceptional, but the dishes were absolutely amazing. And gluten free options are available. The service was very slow, but maybe they were short staffed that day.

Kim Connolly

The fish here is so fresh and delicious and they have very generous portions. The server was knowledgeable about allergies and was able to put together a blackened hogfish plate without gluten. My nephew got an ahi tuna sandwich and it was a huge portion of tuna for the price. Very tasty place for a quick bite.

Kate Hazel

AMAZING!! The food was incredible! Flavorful and cooked to perfection. The bakery offered several items including a few gluten free options. Their seasonal menu had a variety of items including apple cider mimosas! Service was superior. Watched a server help an elderly regular customer as though they were family. Very glad we made the decision to stop here today. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

William Runyon

I recently dined at Classico with family and friends, and our experience was nothing short of spectacular. If you're navigating food allergies, this place is a godsend. Both my wife and I have allergies to gluten, dairy, and eggs, and the staff at Classico went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The Bolognese was a standout - rich, flavorful, and perfectly adapted to our dietary restrictions without losing any of its traditional charm. The espresso martini was a delightful treat, expertly mixed and presented. And don't miss out on the short rib; it was tender, succulent, and absolutely delicious. I decided to go with the special which was blackened grouper, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance, service, and attention to detail at Classico make it a top recommendation in Sarasota. We left feeling not just satisfied but truly taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience, especially if you're managing food allergies. We'll definitely be back!

Mo Bu

This place has a Mediterranean feel and also interior decoration is very Turkey or Greece like .. It is run by 2 turkish ladies who are very friendly and like to engage with the customers. I ordered roasted beef (turkish style) with rice and salad. The rice had orzo in it and the whole dish was very flavorful and tasty. All for $14.95!!!!!!! Turkish coffee with homemade baklava was delicious as well. I saw they were also selling turkish beach towels as well and some candles, lotions and soaps. They offer vegetarian and gluten free food as well. Overall this place is great for someone who prefers to eat healthy and authentic Mediterranean food.

Taylor Keefe

Love this place! Stumbled upon it during my vacation and could not be happier. Great for my gluten free/vegan people. Doesn’t taste like artificial sugars/sweetener; it’s very natural and filling!

Abriel Mauerman

Not too many gluten free options, but they're good and tasty, and they will cook some things to accommodate. They had GF creme brulee as well, which was nice.

jacqueline bates

Ren, our server excellent. For is always good. We come with another couple several times during our yearly visit. I have celiac. I appreciate the selections I have, kale salad, filet mignon, but sadly No dessert. 😢

Lynn Coe

In a town with a lot of great breakfast options this is one of my favorites. Super fresh, gluten free options, great omelettes and the hash brown casserole is amazing. All the staff is really nice. Angie waited on us today and she was lovely. Checked on us often but not too much! She made sure we had lots of ice tea and everything else we needed. We’ve never been disappointed at this cafe!

Jackie Engel

Amber did an excellent job as our server. The food was very good. Lots of gluten free options.

Anthony Reed

I was surprised how incredible the cocktails were at Jack and Dusty. There were genuine mixologists behind the bar. I tend to gravitate toward speakeasy-style cocktails, I love classics and also variations on them. Their menu is rich in spirit selection and their cocktail menu is thoughtful. When I asked for off-menu rye based drinks like a sazerac or green point they made them beautifully. For their old fashioned’s they used a large clear square ice cube stamped by a brass ice-stamp. While the smoking jacket, a take on the old fashioned with a single barrel Angel’s Envy exclusive to this Ritz-Carleton served in a smoked glass was a bit on the pricey side, $28, for the quality I would go back and spend that again. The food was also good but I can’t comment so much on the quality because I am vegetarian and gluten-free so I just had their butternut squash soup and fall vegetable salad - both good. Oh - the fries were good too! I’ve been to a lot of hotel bars and this one is a gem!

Allergy Friendly Sarasota

I heard the hype. It exceeded expectations. This gluten-free family ate safely and deliciously. The Falafel Rainbow Bowl and the sweet potatoes were mind-blowing. Every item had a different flavor and texture. I cannot wait to go back.

Lisa Preuett

We were very pleased with this little cozy cafe located at St Armond in Sarasota. The manager and our server were extremely helpful and friendly. We had a couple of food allergies to navigate and they took great care of us! The service was very quick and our food was delicious. The portions were much larger than we expected. Highly recommend this place for breakfast AND lunch. It was nice that they have gluten free bread available.
