Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in Schenectady

L C

I went to Daley's for dinner on a Friday night. It was a snowy night and the restaurant was fairly empty at 7pm. The decor is lovely. Dim lighting, comfortable seats and the firepits were burning outside creating a nice cozy glow through the windows. I was excited to eat here because there were so many gluten aware options. There were 4 people in my party and I was the only one with a food allergy ( gluten). We ordered a round of drinks and I placed an order for the baked brie for the table which was available with gf bread. I made sure to specify when I ordered that it was to be prepared gf. The waiter was like..."no prob, I got you". When the brie came out, I noticed the bread didn't look gf. As someone who has been gluten free for almost 20 years, I'm very aware of what gf bread looks like. I asked the person who brought it to the table (the manager, i think) if she could confirm if it was gf and she immediately said...oops, no it's definitely not. They took it away and prepared a new one with gf bread. When they brought the new one to the table the cheese was not at all melted which is sort of the whole point of dipping the bread into the melted cheese. After asking them to heat it up again, the manager apologized and offered to take the brie off of the bill Entrees were ordered prior to this and we waited and waited and waited... around 30 minutes. The restaurant was literally 3/4 empty. The kitchen was not that busy. There seemed to be a bit of an issue with our dishes coming out of the kitchen in a timely manner. The nachos and the chicken parm that my friend's ordered were sitting up there for at least fifteen minutes. The chicken was hot but the pasta under it was cold and the nachos were soggy after sitting so long. I ordered a crab cake and my friend ordered the scallops and both of those were fine. We didn't complain about any of the entrees because at that point we were just frustrated by the mistakes. The waiter apologized about the brie and further offered that the next round of drinks would be on the house.However, we were not intending on drinking anymore. So instead of comping the drinks that we had already ordered he just didn't do anything and brought us the bill After we received the bill, we spoke to the manager and she did take the round of drinks off the bill as well as the brie. I appreciate that they attempted to make the situation right, but if you're going to offer gluten free options , you should really be well versed on how to serve them properly and safely. I'm not sure if they were just having an off night due to the snow storm but i'm really reluctant to come back again. Overall, it was a disappointing dining experience.

We made a reservation and were seated as soon as we walked in. Service was wonderful. The food was delicious. Their lobster bisque, which is only served on Friday and Saturday, was outstanding. I got the halibut special and it was really good. My husband ordered the lamb shank special and the meat just fell off of the bone it was so good. The dessert menu had something for everyone including a gluten-free cake, which was heavenly. Parking is tough. We couldn't find a spot on the street so we parked in the parking garage. There was no charge for parking, but it was a bit of a walk on icy sidewalks in February. In nicer weather the walk would be fine. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back to eat again.

My coworkers ordered lunch to celebrate the anniversary of my employment. I ordered The Toby Did it on gluten free bread with chips and a pickle. I did not receive a pickle or onions on my sandwich, they used the smallest ingredients possible for my sandwich, which was dwarfed by the barely toasted bread. The few bites of sandwich that I actually got tasted ok. See photo for more.

AMAZING! I’ve been meaning to write this review since September when I was visiting my parents in Schenectady, NY. They heard of this new vegan restaurant and I’m so glad we tried it. We went on a Saturday right when they opened at 3:00pm and our server Megan was the best! She was friendly and had the best recommendations. This place is great for EVERYONE. I’m vegetarian myself and went with meat-eaters (one who is picky and Gluten Free), and we all loved our food. We had the Everything Fries, Beyond Burger, Jalapeño Cornbread Hush Puppies, Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls, Loaded Grilled Cheese (GF), and one of their rotating specialty cakes - Salted Caramel Chocolate (GF) which was so moist and delicious! Drinks are great, and the atmosphere is awesome. Lots of retro arcade games and an upBEET vibe... 😜👾💥🎮 WE WILL BE BACK!

Absolutely delicious meats that are full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The sandwiches are incredibly tasty — each bite is packed with savory goodness. I was also really impressed to see that they offer gluten-free bread options, which is a huge plus for anyone with dietary restrictions. The quality and care put into the food here is top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back very soon!

The place is so stunning inside, you feel like you are in Vegas and not Schenectady. I have a gluten and tree nut allergy and they were extremely accommodating! The service was top notch and the owner even came over to our table. I highly recommend. The drinks too...oh my, delish!

They have gluten free pasta and chicken parm, among other options. The waitstaff seemed knowledgeable and I was comfortable eating here/ had no reaction to gluten or cross contamination.
