Elaina Hoover

Excellent pizza! Gluten and dairy free options that are delicious. Laura was fantastic!

Devon Morris

GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES!!!!!!

Stephanie Gorman

Absolutely love the selection and the staff is very nice and reassured me that everything is absolutely gluten free.

Chrissie Vogel

Jennie is such a friendly face to encounter when entering. Her energy is positively upbeat when sharing her favorites on the menu. Although I stopped in to grab a menu, I still managed to grab a Persistence of Spice cookie. It had the ideal balance and blend of spices and sweetness. The texture was dreamy too. Great care is taken to label and identify items in the case for individuals that may have dietary restrictions. Whether you are looking for gluten free pastries or a very tasty alternative to processed foods-you will be absolutely astounded by the quality that is delivered by the nature bakery. The space is charming and very inviting. Hoping to sit down with my husband to enjoy something from their breakfast or lunch menu soon. Thank you Jennie and Jacq for providing the community with a delicious pantry of pastries, bread and delights.

Unique. Reminds me of a subway order style. Customized personal pizza just shy of 11 bucks. Order any toppings you desire. Gluten-free pizza ordered by mother. Thin crust type pizza. Recommend baking a tad longer.

Kollen Marchant

The environment was cool. The art is for sale (kind of expensive) the waiter was great. They have gluten free options.

Sunshine

We had an amazing dining experience. The food options were great, even for picky eaters and a gluten sensitivity. Everything tasted great and service was exceptional! Overall great experience.

Misnamed Nomenclature

Hemingway's has been safe for me to eat at. They have limited (think Well seasoned chicken skewers, lentil soup, and blackened fish of the day) gluten free options, but being Celiac in Melbourne makes any place with quality cuisine a repeat.

Tina Travels

This was a pleasant surprise for our group. Searching for a restaurant to accommodate several diet restrictions (gluten free, vegan, etc) we came upon this one and decided to give it a try. OMG! It was soooo good. The atmosphere is little underwhelming, but that never bothers me. Our waitress was the owner's (and chef) daughter and she was very knowledgeable and patient with our one million questions. We ended up ordering the seafood Moroccan tagine, the chicken Moroccan tagine and the skewer platter. The tagine was filled with plenty of meat and was a very generous portion full of flavor. It's a stew like dish served in a boiling pot with a plate of rice, so you put your tagine on your rice yourself. I loved this because I decided how much of the broth/sauce and rice I wanted. The skewer platter was also a generous portion and the meat was very tender. For dessert one of our group had the Pistachio baklava and raved about it. This will definitely be a regular in our restaurant rotation now.

Janet McIlvaine

PERFECT chicken salad. I had mine on gluten free bread. There was so much chicken salad that I split mine into two open face sandwiches and still has some to take home. I also enjoyed he enormous chop salad, enough for 3 side salads. The parking lot is a little challenging, but don’t give up. It’s well worth the effort!

Lena G

I have celiac disease and am obsessed with their steak and mushrooms! They can also do the shrimp stack or shrimp cocktail gluten free.

Kelly K H

Friendly service. Good food! Huge portions. Awesome gluten free special! Be prepared to share as portions are large.

Lindsey Whitney

I LOVE The Sweet Heartist! I have food allergies of Gluten and Dairy and this is one of my favorite places in North Melbourne to stop and grab a quick treat. Her cookies are AMAZING and her new shop is adorable. Do not pass by this place without stopping. You will 100% regret it! I love them so much I even featured them on my You Tube Channel and website. https://bit.ly/SweetHeartistcookies

Stephen Boyd

Toni caters to any dietary needs and the food is always delicious!! I recommend reserving the “chefs table”. You give Toni the basic food you want and dietary needs and she whips up a 8-10 course awesome meal. We love this place!! I have Celiac disease and have never had a problem eating here.

Taylor Jenkin

Rylie provided us with great service. She made some suggestions for what to order that was celiac safe, letting us know they have a separate toaster for GF toast and a very contentious kitchen when it comes to cross contamination. That always makes us feel better when eating out. Food was excellent as always!

Tanya Hartings

I have my daughter and her friend here for spring break and Sunday we headed to Backwater for brunch! We sat outside on a cute patio and Chelsea was our waitress. She was very attentive made great suggestions on what we may like for food and for drinks. My daughter is gluten-free so she ordered the pancakes and said they were absolutely delicious. I had the breakfast sandwich on the Cuban garlic bread that Chelsea had suggested and it was absolutely mouthwatering. When the gal came out to deliver it to me, she said you’re going to fall in love and she was right. It was exactly what we needed to kick off their visit to Florida. I will definitely be going back and trying some of the other menu items that look delicious. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ll definitely have to stop by for a fantastic dining experience.

karen jones

What great customer service we had. My sister-in-law (who had not been there before as she is not from this area) is gluten intolerant and was trying to decide what she could order. Allyson heard our conversation and offered a gluten-free menu. She was very friendly and created a great atmosphere for us. I have eaten here more than a few times, but this was the first time I was not 100% pleased with the food. It seemed a bit bland, and after I ate I thought it might have needed some more salt. Since I NEVER add salt to food when I eat out, I had not even considered that. If the food had been up to standard, as it has always been in the past, I would have given five stars. This one food experience will not give me pause; I will definitely go again. Note: Allyson is awesome and needs to be cloned!

Ayla Davis

I came here for the first time for an anniversary celebration with my partner and the dining experience was incredible! Having celiac disease, it’s very hard to find restaurants that are accommodating. Especially restaurants with good gf bread! George was our server, and was amazing at ensuring the food I ate was not cross-contaminated. Even going the extra step to flip the spoon in the non-gf sauce on the platter so we would know the difference. (The little things matter!) I would 100% recommend this place for any event, or even just a nice dinner out. Ask for George! He was an amazing server!

Stephanie Gorman

Waited an hour for our food and our order wasn't right. I have a gluten allergy and this could have been bad if my celiac was really bad. Was very disappointed in the service because the food is really good and our first experience was good but not this time around. Very unhappy and the waitress couldn't reach her manager. Not good.

Aaron Neswald

This place is fantastic. The food service and atmosphere were awesome. Would recoment the combo plater and the. Also the gluten free menu and vegan menu were eazy to read and understand

L Ray

The best gluten free roast beef sandwich! I drive from Orlando to have their Beef on Weck.

Tina Travels

Limited gluten free options (I also can't eat eggs) but the quinoa bowl was pretty tasty (minus the egg topper). The atmosphere is like most chain restaurants, nothing to write home about. The patio is a nice option. Our waitress was absent most of the time, too the point another server noticed and checked on us, but that can happen anywhere.

Katie Neese

Classic seafood restaurant the food was very good. There are many seafood options, and they have gluten free noodles.

Regina Vogt

Decided to try this for father's day since hubs fav food is pizza and we r all about local. Staff is friendly but... I had to ask for kids water, refills of water, beer and wine, after actually ordering. No crayons for child, so he was disappointed. I am gluten intolerant, Checked website b4 we made plans. Get there, no gf options, Very disappointing as everyone in family was ok, but me. Ordered smores pizza, after 15 min, baby was getting restless, walked around, seen pizza setting there, waited, waited, finally asked if I could just deliver myself. There were at least 6 employees, 4 tables max when we came in. 2 hrs for our experience. Not happy, don't want to bash, but none of us will return. Sad bc we really wanted to support this family.the flavor of pizza was great, other than chic alfredo, no one liked the chicken

Lisa Day

Excellent food! I ordered a corned beef sandwich on a gluten free bun. It came with sauerkraut,stone ground mustard and coleslaw. I also ordered an iced tea. It was the first time I was there and I hope to go back

Geri Nancy Smith

My husband and I just discovered this place. The ambiance is beautiful. Al fresco at its best! Food was delicious. Our server was warm, friendly, sharp, and attentive. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the french fries. My husband said said they were definitely frozen and overprocessed and tasted like plastic. He loves fries and he did not eat them.The fries do not match up with the freshness and wonderful quality of the rest of the food or the upscale ambiance. Hopefully, they are working on serving a much better product. I was also very appreciative that they can accommodate gluten free diets as I am gluten intolerant. Great place to eat, but we do not recommend the fries.

Candace E

The food was delicious. They even had a small and medium gluten free pizza option (not its obviously cooked in the same kitchen with everything else so not entirely safe for those with celiac but it was great to see the choice). Service was fast and friendly. Two people at our table got wings and said they were delicious (plain and sweet chili).

Kara

I love their vegan fried rice with mushrooms and tofu. The crispy tofu appetizer is yummy too! There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.

Nancy Jacobson

Sea bass was very good ... chef accommodated my food allergies ... would love for them to offer a gluten free pasta!!

Michele Elizabeth

I’m not typically a fan of cauliflower crust, but Genna’s does it right! Best gluten-free pizza in town.

Justin Rupp

Lots of gluten free options and staff was very knowledgeable in addition to gluten free items marked on the menu. I have celiac and did not have any issues. Food was delicious, will definitely be back.

Spencer Stromberg

My picky, gluten-free daughters are impossible to feed and they say these are the best burgers in the world. I agree. Also, the fries are gluten free made in a dedicated frier

Nicole Price

This is not the first Ford's Garage I've eaten at so it's nice to see that the food and experience are consistent. The server was well educated about what was gluten free vs potentially cross-contaminated. Food was done well/delicious and despite how busy it was, we neither had to wait long to be seated nor to eat, once we ordered.

Roseann Cryer

I was bummed after going here. It looked fun and the food looked good. It was so loude I could not even talk and could not hear the waitress. I kept asking her to speak again. The food was good but not what the menu said it was. The waitress said everything is made in house. I am Gluten free so when she returned I asked if the GF Buns are made in house since most commercially made are no good. She then tells me none of the bread is made in house. When 5 minutes before she told me everything is made in the kitchen. Sadly we will not return. I was very disappointed.

Katrina Urbano

Spinach pie was best ever had including ones I've had in Greece! Best kept secret on the beach. Gluten free and vegetarian options!

Marissa Dillon

Amazing food and experience!! First time coming and we will definitely be back! I ordered the Vodka Penne and added blackened chicken, my husband had the Grilled Rigatoni with blackened chicken + side of risotto and it was all delicious! The prices were great considering how formal and nice everything is. Large portions, we were able to bring home yummy leftovers to enjoy again (and again lol) And our server, Marissa was amazing! I have a slight gluten allergy, so after I ordered gluten free pasta, she made sure to mention that the sauce has gluten, and to ask if I wanted croutons on my salad! I really appreciated and admired how much she knew about their menu and allergens within it! Also side note, their menu is very clearly labeled with Vegan(maybe vegetarian?) & Gluten free on specific items, and also offers gluten free pasta! I'm quite picky about my GF pasta, and they made it PERFECTLY!!! everywhere else always undercooks it and they put lots of time and love into it for me. And their chicken was like the perfect white meat chicken! I'm super picky about textures and chicken is sometimes hard for me to eat but I devoured every bite without fear of the next! (iykyk)

Coleson Peppler

I love the burgers here but the customer service is seriously lacking and the manger is extremely rude. Over my past 5 orders they have forgotten toppings, sides, and condiments. I’m a celiac and can’t eat gluten and this is one of the rare places who offer gluten free buns at an extra price. It’s already crappy I have to already pay more for a allergy but on top of that they never give me ketchup, or mayonnaise even when I ask multiple times to please put it in the bag. since my gluten free bun comes in a plastic wrapping they don’t put the condiments on the burger even tho I’ve asked them too they said they can put it in the bag and then never do! I’ve gotten a couple deluxe burgers missing onions, missing lettuce, missing ordered and paid for bacon on the burger. I’ve gone back through the drive thru because let’s be honest no one wants to eat a dry burger. Tonight I went through the drive thru after driving 20 minutes to get it and asked the girl three times for ketchup and even asked her if she put some in my bag and paid extra for two ranches and then I get home to no ketchup no mayonnaise and a burger with no lettuce or onion. I called the manager and was very respectful and said hi I was just there 25 minutes ago and ordered food, I ordered a deluxe gluten free burger and they gave me no ketchup or the ranch I paid for and my burger was missing lettuce and onion. And if I could come back tomorrow and get a remake cause this is like the 6th time it’s happened. He then told me I could come back right now when they close in 25 minutes and I’m 20 minutes away. He said he didn’t care there was no one above him to talk to and hung up on me. He was very rude, very disrespectful and I’m sick of them forgetting my items. Sucks cause food is good. Management is horrible and it seems like there’s multiple people having this issue. I work across the parking lot from them and eat there on my lunch sucks they’re gonna lose a almost daily customer over remaking a single burger. Do better

Josh

Great place to get Greek food. My only compliant is sometimes parking is tuff. But the quality of food makes me not even care. Also they have gluten free pita bread that is very good! Their bagged potato chips are also labeled gluten free.

Allen Dockery

Best Subs, now with Gluten free bread!

Social Media

OMG!! Vegan of 30 years and THIS is my first stop when I fly into Florida. The creamy curry zoodles has been my favorite dish but they came out with a new gluten free Mediterranean tabouli dish with roasted eggplant and garlic and SHAZAAm!! An INSTANT new favorite. Service is incredibly attentive and their market has a little bit of everything from the esoteric to the metaphysic to down to earth. They also have a fully stocked meals to go refrigerated section (great when you want to not think about making food on vacation but wanna eat delicious and nutritious foods) and lots of dried goods, supplements, super foods, and other self care products! Come get your feast on! Prices are also reasonable for a 100% organic shop!

kimberly benton

I’m gluten free! However they offer a unique and delicious Guava cider! They have a welcoming environment offering indoor and outdoor relaxation! Most importantly they support local farmers and recycle spent grains from the brewing process. Thank you for contributing to your community!

Joel McDaniel

Great staff. Food came out quick. Wife was able to have a gluten free sandwich!!

Guillermo Ricart

Outstanding sushi and always a warm welcome. Great for folks who must eat gluten free. Best sushi in town!

Veronica “Vee” Dee

I haven't been to an IHOP in more than a decade because I have a gluten sensitivity. My friend wanted IHOP so I figured I'd have to watch him eat pancakes. Our incredible server, Stewart (yes that's the correct spelling) told me that IHOP HAS GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES! They are cooked on the same grill but it's a dry grill and they will wipe it down. I cannot tell you how happy I am! I got to have fluffy, tasty pancakes that did not cause a reaction. And Stewart was the best waiter I've had in a long time. He was attentive without being annoying, he was just as sweet as he could be and anticipated our needs at every turn. He should be working at a fine dining restaurant but he's just so damn personable I don't know that I would want to let him go. Breakfast was exactly how I asked for it with dry scrambled eggs, everything was spot on, Delivered timely and again, Stewart is an absolute treasure. This location is at the entrance of the Brevard Zoo so stop by, have brekkie AND ASK TO SIT IN STEWART'S SECTION

Kevin -

This place is a complete disaster when it comes to allergies. The staff is very uneducated about the contents of their products. The products aren’t labeled correctly. Very dangerous if you have allergies. And when we brought up the fact that, the chocolate chip cookies, that my wife eat, are actually Oreo cookies (which have gluten), they didn’t care much. No offer for a refund etc.

Jacklyn Duvall-Francis

NOT CLEAN Daughter has celiac disease normally Chipotle is a very safe place for her to eat. However this one had all their ingredients mixed and they were unwilling to grab safe ingredients from the back. Normally this isn’t a problem at Chipotle.

Joshua & Sarah Lee

Tasty little mom-n-pop shop! Celiac, so we go for the pad Thai and the drunken noodle. Always a solid combination. Service also always good!

Donna Reuter

Love fresh market! Coffee, gluten free bread for my son and fruit. Always new stuff to find 😊

Sandi Gough

We had Melissa as a manager and Melissa as our server both were amazing very attentive and very helpful. I had dietary restrictions and they were just amazing. Making sure that I had gluten-free choices and that came out hot and delicious. I would recommend this to anyone. thank you to Melissa and Melissa. We will be back.

Alanna Dixon

We had a fantastic experience! Our waitress was incredibly patient and understanding when it came to accommodating our gluten-free dietary needs. She took the time to ensure everything was safe and even made recommendations. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!
