Samantha Anondson

This place is the one place I go to where I feel and know what I’m eating is safe! Tons of options to choose from!

Frank and Samantha White

This place is incredible, I wouldn’t even believe it wasn’t 100% gluten free if I didn’t know it already. The eggplant tostada was absolutely incredible! Everything here was perfect.

Liz Palo

Celiac!

First time at Billy’s and we definitely enjoyed ourselves! Food was very good but it’s pretty spendy. The experience is lacking for me. With price that high I kinda expected the experience would match the price point. It’s loud and tables are pretty snug. I am gluten free and would recommend the NOLO sushi roll. Staff were very friendly and accommodating! Overall we had a good time and would eat here again! Dress- all over the place. I thought it was fancy but I felt over dressed.

Jennifer Horning

Man, SO good! I'm dairy and gluten free. Haven't had a burger and fries this good in... .dunno, a loooong time. Highly recommend!

This was my first visit to Capitol Grille and it was amazing! My friends and I went to celebrate my birthday and everything was great! Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and let us know what was the gluten-free options for my friend who is gluten free. All of the food was super delicious and cooked to perfection, I would definitely recommend a trip to Capital Grille for a night out or to celebrate.

Natalie Alsop

Wonderful food and service with a great atmosphere. The gluten free options were fabulous!

Paxton Berger

Great gluten free options, tasty food, and incredibly attentive and knowledgeable service.

Did Gluten Free okay. Server was nice but not having the best day. Asked the hostess if we could have a table instead of a booth. She said yes, then sat us at a booth and took off before we could say something. We had an elderly person with us who struggles getting in and out of a booth. Needed a chair... But we managed. Server dropped silverware that knocked the lemon off my iced tea glass. And people just left it on the floor... Employees were all just stepping over it. I was afraid someone would slip on the lemon so I ended up taking care of it. Not sure we will be back. Food was okay nothing special but the prices are above average.

First time coming here. My fiancée has Celiac Disease and we were thankful for their well marked menu for their GF options! The hosts were very kind, quick and efficient. We were seated fairly quickly at 5pm on a Saturday. Our waitress, Brittany S., was so helpful with the menu’s and was quick to show us their mocktail menu when we told her that we didn’t drink. The food was amazing and also came out quickly! We got their GF chocolate cake to-go because we just couldn’t pass it up. Food presentation, Service, the atmosphere and pricing is all 5 stars and worth it. We will be back :)

Natalie Olson

Chicken wings, chicken tenders, cauliflower crust pizza

Cora Brown

We love Red Cow! Excellent food and atmosphere. Tons of gluten free options.

Abigael Ensor

Very GLUTEN-FREE/ DAIRY-FREE friendly! I visited September 7th after work and enjoyed the happy hour menu. Everything was as beautiful as it was scrumptious! I had sushi and the fried chicken and hot sake. I also ordered 1 serving of Uni. It was the perfect after-work treat! I highly recommend this gem. The server/bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and a cheery, helpful attitude. I will 100% be back as often as I can. Nice portions, delicious sushi!

Allison Hackenmiller

I can’t stop talking about this place! The service was great and fast (our server provided really good suggestions!), the cocktails were so well-balanced, and the food was delicious! I almost went back the next day for the noodles and brussels. We also had the tofu satay, which was wonderfully crispy, and the pad thai, which they will make if you beg, but I’m with the server that the other food was so good and you can get that anywhere. Best news: so much was gluten-free! Would go back right now if I could.

Mason S

Great gluten free bun (although a little messy if you don't mind) with flavor and variety in options. Service is great as well 👍

Julie Whelan Capell

Excellent Gluten Free pasta available here. I've been here many times and never had a bad reaction. One of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. I particularly like the seafood pasta w lobster.

Deann L Williams

The gluten free bread was soooo good, I was soooo excited I forgot to take a picture of it!!! So yummy!!! The roasted veggies are totally amazing and the chicken was perfect!!! Our server was beyond Excellent!!! Thank you for making my Birthday dinner Fantastic!!!!!

Kristen Bongard

I love this place! Love coming here to celebrate life events with family and friends! The service is phenomenal, and the food is amazing! I love that they have their own gluten-free menu and even have gluten-free options as specials!! This is one of my favorite restaurants! There's something for everyone here, and you can't go wrong eating at Chianti Grill! ♡

Jennifer J

Very good, and everyone changes gloves after serving each guest. It's definitely a great place for gluten-free dessert after dinner.

Heidi Gordon

“Gluten friendly” at your own risk. Fries are marked that they can be gluten free, but the cheese sauce they come with is beer cheese, so the waitress had to clarify that she’d bring that on the side. And they don’t have a GF frier, so she asked if that would be ok. Maybe I ate too many fries, since it wasn’t clear that they came with the burger too (w/ no other option). The gf burger bun was good (covered in poppy seeds) & held up well. Cocktails were also good and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for.

Jarrod Nelson

Nice menu with clearly labeled items for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc. Food was nicely seasoned and drinks were delicious. Only caveat was the papas had an odd flavor to them with the sweet paprika.

Claire Joyce

Tanner and Evan are the best bartenders to exist. Not only are they best friends that bring the best energy, but they are so personable and hard working. Crave is the only restaurant we come to at the MOA. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, because we know we wouldn’t get the service these two bring. Appreciate them and hope they stay at crave for a long time! Besides that, sushi rollers are also very hard working and the fish is so fresh. Love crave forever! (Another side note - great gluten free options!!!! Even their truffle fries can be GF!)

Lynn Sweet

GF options are not marked on the menu but the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. They have a GF fryer!

Andy Thomson

Great food, especially with Gluten and other allergy-friendly restrictions. Super flavorful and great variety. I miss the deep fried kimchi from the Mpls location, but love this spot.

Lynn Sweet

They have a GF baguette! Gf options are marked on the menu but not all are celiac-safe so check with the server, they are really helpful!

Reggie Lamptey

So 49ER Day party at Crave Rooftop was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I was pretty surprised at how extensive their menu was. Oftentimes, when restaurants have a lot of items and different types and styles, it isn't always good. But when I tell you my bison burger and wings were very tasty. There was lots of flavor and made just the way I wanted. I don't like my wings swimming in sauce, so I asked for light sauce on my wings, and they listened, and it was just how I like. Their menu even has a gluten sensitive menu as well as a plant based menu. I was impressed with their options. If you find yourself in downtown Minneapolis, you should definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

D Castle

They have a lovely outdoor patio overlooking the lake, which is a huge draw for our kids. Good burgers and actually really good gluten free pizza (Udi crust). Huge wine and beer list, and they do have cocktails. Huge children's meals, which come with a side and a drink. We always stop here at least once when we're in town.

Maggie Pearthree

All around good spot with tasty offerings. We had the steak salad, calamari, and chicken wings grilled and would eat again. Many gluten free and vegetarian options too. Service was attentive but not overly so.

Sam

Always a pleasant experience at Smoak. They offer a variety of quality & affordable BBQ items. All of which are delicious. They even have gluten free options so my wife can enjoy barbecue again. Highly recommended.

Jessica Hoffman

Oh my goodness believe it or not we had never been to Crave before, but boy were my taste buds delighted and I was pleasantly surprised by all of the delicious, non sushi, options! Upon arrival, the women at the hostess station were kind and helpful to accommodate our party of adults, kids, and a baby mixed. The hosts dried off an outdoor table and got us set up in the sunshine, with an umbrella close by to protect the young ones among us from the sun if it got to hot or bright. Our server Wyatt was also very kind and helpful. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Burger and have a few food intolerances. Wyatt was happy to accommodate all of my preferences without.aking me feel uncomfortable making my request. In that note, they also have a an extensive Gluten Sensitive menu which I thought was very thoughtful. Okay, back to the burger, so I got Wagyu burger cooked medium rare, per Wyatt's suggestion, and it was very good. Plus, the mound of Rosemary Parmesan Fries I got with my plate were definitely delicious. The Aioli served with my burger was on the side and it was absolutely delicious! I decided to dip my fries in it and yum, it was so good. I also tasted a friend's sweet potato fries, they asked for them to be extra crispy and oh my lanta, yuuuuuum!! They were some of my favorite sweet potato fries I've ever eaten. They were super savory, seriously, so good. The photo of the sushi rolls were my hubby's and I gave him some of my fries, they did not come with his rolls. He had the Dynamite and Spicy Salmon rolls and said they were both pretty good. Another guest had the BLT chicken Caesar Salad in the photos and oh my goodness did it ever look delicious! It is served with sun-dried tomatoes, amazing. I also had the seaweed salad as a starter. I did not add any meat. It was pretty good. It was pretty lemony and a tiny bit spicy (but I am not a spice person at all). I added a little soy sauce and it was all good. Sorry I forgot to take a picture! Lastly, we had two kids with. One got a kids pizza with fries and the other had chicken tenders with fries. The portions were very large, especially the fries. Both of the kiddos seemed to enjoy both of their meals. Overall, we had a really great experience and the food was very tasty. I look forward to going back to try more items off of their menu.

My Life - DIY

Gluten-free items and menu, great food, friendly staff! Highly recommend! And vegan menu! Super delicious!

Paul Miller

Absolutely delicious, and the gluten free options were great as well

Mollie Saunders

It's just fine, nothing really for celiac or vegans though...

Amanda Zarecky

The best pizza my husband and I have had in a long time!! Gluten-free crust was delicious, great service ( young bartender). I can't recommend this place enough.

Sarah Clark

This place is great. Love all the dog art. Food is great with unique options. Menu also is super veg friendly and gluten free bread is available! They don't even mind fake-etarians like me who don't eat beef but want real bacon with their Beyond burger 😆 Jen and Lisa were awesome!! We'll be back!!

Maggie Marie

I was here for lunch during the week. The gluten-free pasta was really good and I was impressed with how much meat was in it. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. I didn't realize there was an outdoor patio and plan to check that out next time!

J James

We chose this place for a get together with some friends and our kids. It was suggested by other parents as a place for a fun and unique experience for all ages. We went on a Sunday so there wasn't much airplane action. We did get to see 1 plane take off as we were leaving. They offered a kid's menu, gluten-free options and a variety of cocktails. We went for the breakfast options: french toast for the kids, coffee, tea, french toast sandwich, mushroom toast & eggs. Our friend's had the Holman's Breakfast. All was delicious and everyone left with a content and happily filled belly. We look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy their outdoor seating and to check out the dinner menu.

Christian Oestreich

Great food selection for the whole family complete with options for vegetarian and gluten sensitivity diets. The cocktails for the adults are delicious and the gourmet lemonades for the kids are always a hit.

McKinsey Hurd

As a newly gluten free person, I was devastated there weren’t many places I could go to get fried rice. The spicy chicken and fried rice was amazing. (Wasn’t spicy though) So was the dessert. I appreciate the gluten free labels and also the gluten free soy sauce. I will order again!

Chris Brussow

Came here twice in a row for lunch. Saucy tots tacos are righteous! Falafel was pretty darn good. Bean taco was even tasty. The place is a bit gritty, but I could have cared less after biting into those tasty tacos! Tots tacos and falafel are marked as Not Gluten free on the menu, however, if you're not bothered by shared oil for frying, they are, for sensitivity only, gluten free enough for me! I'm definitely stealing the idea for tots tacos at home!

Samantha Castillo

My parents came to town and I wanted to take them somewhere upscale and cool. Josefina was just the right place! The pizzas are so good and they do have a gluten free crust option for both the pizza and pasta so big bonus for that too. Great experience overall.

Christopher Rounds

This place absolutely rocks. Super good food options and are vegetarian/gluten friendly. Staff is super kind and fun. I would highly recommend!

Brian Beck

Best airport restaurant I've been to. The beer menu is astounding - great variety of taps and a number of aged, rare, and unique bottles. Our server was fantastic - solid advice on beer, seltzer, food entrees (get the whiskey burger!), and what entrees can be made gluten free (the chicken and rice was very good). The food was delicious, the seats all had power outlets, and we had an amazing time.

Hanna Anderson

We had the Mediterranean Cruise Cade cater our wedding, and it was a hit! Great options, especially for guests who are gluten free, dairy free, or don’t eat pork. They worked within our budget, and our experience with staff was excellent. Everyone loved this meal, especially the garlic sauce!

heidi clear

The menu was very limited. I’m gluten and dairy free and. Can usually find good options at most restaurants. My options were very limited. I was hoping to have a salad, but they were very basic. We had a whole conversation about gluten free and I asked for the burger with no bun or cheese and it still came with a bun. Even if I could eat gluten I thought it was a very limited menu. Won’t go back.

Sophia Jideofor

Really disappointed with thier entrees. I had got thier walleye cakes with lemon garlic green beans. This was the most expensive of entree. The walleye cakes was more like a moist package that was way over season and had to much extra stuff added into it. The green beans were no better. Tasted like they had been boiled in lemon juice and over cooked before being stir-fried becoming discolored. It was unappetizing and could only eat the mash potatoes that came as a side. However I did like the caramelize Brussel sprouts which is what I most wanted, and I was glad they had gluten free options which my bf could eat.

Nicole Hornaday

The food and service by Madalyn was wonderful. I recently started a gluten free diet, so I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything to eat. The gluten free flatbread was amazing and much bigger than I was expecting. My family members who had the regular flatbread said they liked mine just as much, even though it was gluten free. The wine flight was also so good and gelato was delicious. There was one glass of wine that my sister didn’t love, and Madalyn took it back with no questions asked and gave her something she liked better. We will definitely be coming back!

Trisha Schmidt

Delicious meals!! Excellent Gluten Free options

Elizabeth Sloan

Gluten free pizza was great. Although 2$ per topping is a little much.
