Amber Easterling

This is always one of my favorite places to visit in Charleston! They have a large gluten-free menu and take any allergies very seriously! The food is always amazing! Lunch or dinner, it’s always so good!

Dan Rose

Celiac review here. Food is delicious American fare. Smashed burger gluten free and gf fries both sweat potato and crinkle cut with dedicated fryer. Good sauces. Would go again.

Kyle Holmes

An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

Always a nice dining experience for a special occasion or just a great dinner overall. They pay so much attention to detail to every dish and are willing to modify anything they can to make it GF. They have a separate fryer. I always get the fried okra coated in corn meal for an appetizer! The pepper jack creamed corn without the breadcrumbs is amazing!! The burrata salad needs to be ordered without the breadcrumbs on top. Their steaks are always delicious!!

Philip Mager

Great sandwiches. Great atmosphere. Gluten free options are fantastic. Super friendly and helpful staff.

A lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. We went for brunch and there were a few GF options on the menu. I was a little taken back that the chef was unwilling to modify a dish by substituting chicken for shrimp. I ended up with a salad and added chicken to it. My husband’s food came out cold with a film over it. I’ve heard such great things about this restaurant, so was a little disappointed. Maybe it was just an off day.

Susan Edgar Lee

Normal loud, dark wood-paneled interior but very professional staff. Good service. Gluten-free menu for my husband. First time ordering tuna tartare appetizer. Thumbs up. I ate their bouillabaisse which was excellent with a yummy crostini toast. Not cheap, nor should it be. Pictured is their seafood tower. Although it’s not what I ate, I saw several of those going out.

The house was amazing! And I got two gluten free which were so so good, the Maui and the Shiitake, out of all 3 I think the Holy Shiitake was a must try especially for gluten free vegetarian options, the garlic aioli and truffle was so delicious.

Amber Easterling

I was there for brunch, which is a little more difficult for GF options than dinner. No pancakes, no biscuits, no gravy, no fried chicken. They can modify some of the menu items to be GF. I got the short rib dirty rice with fried egg bc it didn’t need to be modified. The deviled eggs were amazing. I will say that they do want to accommodate wherever they can, but it is difficult with the breaded and fried items. I will go back for dinner some time though.

Danielle Dyer

This was our 2nd time here... We went for my birthday and truly enjoyed it again!! Our sever Molly was beyond fantastic!! She truly made my birthday so special!! The food was delicious! We had the she crab soup, calamari, loaded mash potatoes and the Ribeye!! All gluten free!!!!! And when we told Molly we just couldn't eat anymore she was so sweet and brought me some strawberries and whipped cream with a candle so I could make my birthday wish ❤️❤️❤️ which is so important to me ☺️☺️☺️ We truly recommend everything about high cotton!!

Jupiter Grove

Great little place with a nice selection on the menu. They do accommodate gluten-free although it's not their specialty. You can get a $6 yuengling draft or pay as much as you want for mixed drinks. They truly have something for everyone.

I was there with my daughter who has some food allergies. They make any dishes on their menu to your liking. She had the linguine which they were able to make gluten free and duck breast with simple spices as she wanted. They make wonderful dishes here. This was not the first time we had dinned here but unfortunately it might be out last due to their parking. When we got to our car it had a boot on it. The owner of the lot thought we were dishonest people and called the authorities to boot our car. I still had to pay the fine to get it off. Please be careful when you park here. It's a good thing that Charleston has other restaurants that are even better then this one. Thank you

Maria Rodriguez Santaella

It had a nice vibe. I ordered the chicken bacon gluten free pizza and a Caesar salad. Both the pizza and salad were great.

Leah Montgomery

Co has always been one of my favorite spots in Charleston! I’m gluten free and always appreciated the gluten free options! Tonight Kamryn and the chef went above and beyond to accommodate and did so in the kindest way. Gluten free friends, this is your spot!

Taylor Nugent

I can’t express how amazing my experience was. We had a birthday dinner of 14 people and Donnie went above and beyond taking care of us helping us pick the most amazing dishes. I have been recently diagnosed with celiac and Donnie went above and beyond to make my experience amazing and took care of me so I did not have a single worry. he made sure to make everything on the menu GF or modified to Gf. I will be back so much and can’t wait to have more amazing experiences!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Sylvia Sheridan

Not bad for a quick take-home pizza!! You can also dine there! Gluten-free option as well which is a big plus for me! I love that you can add your own toppings and it doesn't change the price!!! ♥️

Zoe Smith

Service was very slow and hard to get a hold of servers for assistance. I have a gluten allergy and checked with the waiter before ordering and specified- reminded him of my gluten allergy with each course and every single plate I got had gluten on it- first my salad with crunchy toppings fried in the fryer with gluten items, then my crab dip had bread crumbs on it. It was very disappointing and also scary to get one dish after another with gluten in or on it. Additionally every single person at the table finished their drinks and the server was no where to be found for 30-45 minutes. I was with a large group celebrating a friend so did not make a fuss. Both dishes were sent back and fixed. Appreciate that but not the level of service I expect from an establishment like this.

LaSandra Teixeira

Ms. Rose’s Fine Food is a treat in Charleston! The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommend the avocado burger with the gluten-free bun, which was sturdy, flavorful, and a perfect match. The meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans was another standout. Don’t leave without trying the brisket fries—mouthwatering! The restaurant is spacious, the staff is warm and welcoming, and our waitress Raven gave top-notch service with great recommendations for us first-timers. We’ll definitely be back!

Isabella Perez (Bella)

I ordered the fried bologna sandwich on gluten free bread. The gf bread was good. The quality of the food was delicious, although everything is overpriced given sides are à la carte. I got the home fries as a side, and the portion size is very small for what you get. With the price, lack of quantity, and lack of gluten free options, I wouldn’t recommend. Menu items say cornmeal, but they also use flour, so not gluten free…disappointing.

We stopped by for a quick lunch. The food was really good! They have a gluten-free menu with multiple options. Unfortunately, they do not have gluten-free bread or rolls, so no sandwiches, but everything else was great.

K. Paz

We did 2 gluten free and 1 regular biscuit. These were the BEST Gluten Free biscuits we've ever had! The regular biscuit was absolutely amazing also. We got lucky and did not have to wait so long in the line but noticed many were coming back letting the staff know that their order was wrong. We made sure we checked ours before we left and it was also wrong. They threw away our GF ones and remade them. After trying how good the biscuit was, I went back to get another GF one but was told there were no more GF left. I was upset since I am not local and really wanted another one, if they would have gotten the orders right the first time, there would have been 2 more GF biscuits and many others they threw out before ours. I decided to buy the GF mix to bring back home.

We went for our anniversary. Our server Lexi was great & all of the staff were very friendly & attentive! Ordered the Pirlou & so glad we did. They were great with my gluten allergy & even had chocolate flourless cake.

Kataretya Jenkins

Delicious! Simply delicious! Affordable seafood with high end taste profile. Excellent service with Vladislav. That secret sauce is dangerous!!! They also have a gluten free and a vegan menu for those who like options!

Megan Lassen

Great flavor, large portions, and safe for celiac and dairy allergies!! I'd eat there often if I lived in the area!

Cary Jeffrey

They have gluten free bread... yay. Everything else is just good deli...sweeet!

Billy Blake

It's difficult to find great delis in the south, but this is definitely one of them. They offer a wide variety of options, including Gluten Free bread. They are open for lunch and early dinner, and there is ample parking available in front of the deli. Another great aspect is that they have plenty of seating. Overall, it's a fantastic deli that ticks all the boxes.

Natalie Ireland

We came with a large party and our server was great! Quick, attentive, knowledgeable about what was celiac safe on the menu which is a huge plus for me! Everything we had was so good, food and drinks! Would love to check out their patio next time.

kari horowitz

All pizza is prepared in flour, I asked if they could make it on tin foil and she said all surfaces are covered in flour there would be cross contamination. Disappointed. No good for true celiac allergy.

DareToAim Photography

Best breakfast/brunch we’ve had in Charleston. Would highly recommend. Service was great & fast. Our waitress Amelia was kind & attentive. We loved the vibes & just what we were looking for. They also had gluten free toast which was an added bonus for me.

This place is absolutely amazing! The tacos are delicious and the salsa and queso are some of the best my family and I have ever had. We were so caught up in the food that we forgot to take pictures, but thankfully my girlfriend managed to snap a photo of her tres leches cake before we devoured it! The service was excellent. The only thing Taco Boy needs is some of my hotsos ;)

Meghan Cross

My husband and I had a wonderful meal at Henry's today. I have celiac disease so need gluten free options and they had their options labeled on the menu. One of the options was the Steak Frites, but when I asked if they fried the fries in a separate fryer, unfortunately they said they don't have a clean fryer for gluten free fries. I don't think the Steak Frites should be labeled gluten free if they aren't going to accommodate a separate fryer for the fries. It is very important to be careful about cross contamination for people with celiac disease. Otherwise, the meal and the experience were great. Just be careful and make sure to speak up about your gluten allergy

Nathaniel Reed

A delicious dinner! Sean C. Was such a good server. He was very thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy at our table and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Will definitely come back!

B H

Excellent lunch. Good gluten free options. Service was a bit slow, but the environment and views made the time go by fast. We will be back.

Andy Tam

We came for breakfast and tried a bit of everything. Honestly, we were not impressed with the food or the coffee. It was really good that gluten free bread was availble as one of us was gluten intorleant, so that's super. However the watermelon salad lacked any flavor and the chicken waffles were OK (waffles were a tad soggy). Overall, there are some improvement areas in the food department.

Hannah Ferguson

Jonathon was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond for me and the food speaks for itself! Very refined menu but everything we had was superb. Overall, 11/10 experience and definitely will be coming back for that gluten free pistachio pasta dish!!

Alison Jackson

We found this place based on Google reviews, and we are so glad we did! It's a terrific dessert café. I'm gluten-free, and it was such a joy to find somewhere with delicious after-dinner options. My non gf husband had the bourbon pecan pie and said it's fabulous.

Jessica Hart

What an amazing experience! I loved everything and they cater to gluten free needs.

Amy Shair

Went for dinner with a group of friends while visiting Charleston. We ordered a lot of different items - all were flavorful and paced well so we didn’t have too many plates on the table at once. The service was fantastic. The gluten free dessert was surprisingly delicious. Off street parking was a plus.

kari horowitz

The gluten free options are gluten free toast and allegedly oatmeal and granola. The food is delicious here but they don't have any gf pancakes or French toast which is what our 6yo with celiac really wanted. All cooking happens on same surfaces as well. Frustrating that the options were pretty limited.

Brie Ochoa

If you’re gluten free and want (or miss out on) fine dining, you have to go here(!!!). Most menu items were or could be made gluten free. Our server was so knowledgeable about gluten free food and cross contact that I could cry. The menu was also labeled, and our server was aware of the GF designation we had put on our reservation. Food, drinks, dessert, live music, and service were all amazing - can’t wait to come back. 15/10. (Full review on Find Me Gluten Free - this is how we ended up making a reservation here!)

Juliana Manson

This is the best sandwich/salad/soup place downtown. It’s cheap, and so good, every single time. Carol and Megan are always so accommodating and nice. And they have gluten free!!!!!

Angel Smith

Always great service and food. Family friendly, gluten free options and they have their own parking lot which is helpful for locals who want to get something to eat while downtown. One of our favorite spots 😊

Holly D.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, not exaggerating. Huge bonus that they were able to tailor our entire meal for my allergy needs (celiac, gluten-free).

NathanKelly Diffley

Gluten free people of Charleston definitely need to check this place out! Dedicated gluten free fryers, fried chicken 👀👀👀. We had a great meal. We got the chopped Italian salad and chicken sandwich on fries. I don’t love the ordering system, but a staff member came and helped us order via their app. Very knowledgeable about their gluten free items, or very willing to double check with the kitchen. Will visit again when I’m in town. Fun place and great atmosphere.

Ashly Dennis

East Bay Deli is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. They have a lot of options for someone gluten free. My children are very picky and they love eating here. I also live the atmosphere and decor. It makes for an interesting visit here. They also have outdoor seating which is nice. Their parking lot is big enough to accommodate their business

Alison Jackson

This is a small food stall at the Charleston City Market. We were looking for a place with gluten-free breakfast options, and we're so glad we stopped! The gluten-free biscuits are delicious. My non gf husband enjoyed his sausage, egg & pimento cheese as well. There is very little outdoor seating, so be prepared for the possibility of taking an order to go or eating standing up.

Ribbon Chasing

All the things you expect in southern hospitality and food. We had a big group and we all fit comfortably in our seating. Food came quickly and drinks were good. As expected most food was fried and few pork free, vegan or gluten free options.

Hailey

Love the idea of the restaurant! The whole staff is very attentive. The rolls are gluten free, YUM! It's a fair price for the experience and all the food options.
