This place was awesome! Incredibly friendly staff, cool and inclusive environment, with gluten free options marked on the menu. The staff was also knowledgeable and super sweet. We are outside and our food was delicious. I have celiac and it was one of the best sandwhiches I’ve ever had.

Thanks to a prior Gluten Dude user review I went in and had the classic burger on the tastiest gf bun I’ve encountered yet. Our waitress Kenike notified the kitchen of my order being a special order due to celiac disease. The manager came up to the table and confirmed they would prepare the food separately. Highly recommend this location based on overall reviews the quality of the food and their ability to gain my trust that I wouldn’t be inadvertently glutened.

I love this place, but I was informed by a friend they no longer serve gluten-free beer. This was my favorite place in town because of all the gluten free options. I really hope you'll reconsider!

My wife, daughter, and I had brunch at Flora Jean's following the annual Little Rock Marathon. This restaurant has a health-conscious menu and a super cute decor. Their menu is all vegetarian with many vegan and gluten-free options. The pancake and biscuit were amazing. We all ordered an entree, and we're delighted with the flavors and portions. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in downtown Little Rock and prefer some healthier alternatives to basic brunch food!

Be really careful if you have a gluten intolerance. Pie5 used to be great but they are not taking any gluten precautions now. No glove change and Just cut my pizza with the same one that rolled through a regular flour crust.

It's always a pleasure to stop by Rosalia's. They have expanded their offerings of baked goods for vegan and gluten free customers. One of my friends is now gluten free due to a medical condition and the staff was very helpful in selecting some choice items to share with my friend. I can't leave without a latte, so I grabbed one of those too. Delicious as always.

Timothy was AMAZING!!! He gets 5 stars alone!!! Knowledgeable, attentive, and kind! Made sure all six of us were taken care of from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. We had crab cakes, gnocchi, and bruschetta for apps, all DELICIOUS. Filets were perfect, carbonara was amazing, even our gluten free pasta entree was comparable to everything else.

This was a great Google find. I was traveling across the country with gluten free and vegan dietary restrictions, which they easily accommodated. They were amazing and friendly and the food was delicious. I felt really happy and relaxed. The only downfall is it's too far away from my home to visit regularly.

We had a fantastic experience here. The gluten free options were extensive, and delicious! The service was perfect. We sat outside, with our pup, and thoroughly enjoyed dinner. Will definitely go back if we have the opportunity to be in Little Rock again.

We normally love Kemuri and have long trusted it as a safe place to eat gluten- and dairy-free without incident, but today we had an uncharacteristic experience that I feel needs to be shared. We had a reservation for 8:00, and when we arrived the restaurant was full except our table and very busy. We were seated on time for our reservation and our waiter quickly came to take our order, but everything after that went a bit sideways. We knew what we wanted when we sat down - edamame and a gluten- and dairy-free Kemuri Platter - and ordered when the waiter came by to get our drink order. He was up front with us about not knowing much about what ingredients are and aren’t gluten free but made sure to note it on our order and told us he would trust us to tell him if something wasn’t right. It took over 30 minutes just to get our edamame, and around an hour to get the platter. When the platter arrived, there was tamago nigiri on the plate, and the two rolls had multiple ingredients containing gluten (tempura, eel sauce, and crabstick), which we did not catch until I took a bite of one. Our waiter didn’t come back for a while after, so eventually we each took a turn to try to go find him to no avail. When he did come back, we let him know about the rolls, and he immediately informed the manager. The manager came to our table and was very apologetic, pointed out that the tamago was also not gluten free, and said she would have the head sushi chef remake our rolls. The new rolls came out very quickly, but were obviously very hastily thrown together. One was filled with so much cucumber that it was comical - there were some pieces of the roll that had double the cucumber compared to the amount of fish. One of the rolls also came on a bed of seaweed salad, which is not gluten free. We were given two extra pieces of nigiri as well, which we appreciated, but my wife could only safely eat one of the rolls due to the cross contact with the seaweed salad. We had been there far over an hour by that point and just decided not to worry about it a second time, and I ate the roll she couldn’t eat. At the end of the meal, we expected to maybe have something taken off the bill for the inconvenience, but ended up paying in full. It didn’t feel worth arguing over the price of the bill after everything. I also want to note that we noted on the reservation that it was our anniversary, and it was not acknowledged at all - no one asked if we were there for a special occasion or anything and did not mention the anniversary part of the reservation. We did not leave feeling good about our visit or future visits to the restaurant during busy times.
