reviewer: DC_Celiacs from DC/MD/VA,
|
| We were in Rehoboth Beach last weekend, and found a really
great gluten-free friendly restaurant - Hobo's. Most of the
menu was gluten-free, and several items could be modified to
become so. The owner/executive chef has a child with celiac
disease, and she's very aware of the diet and cross-
contamination. They have corn tortillas for the quesadillas and
gluten-free bread for the sandwiches. She marked on the
menu the few things that I could not eat, but it was very few!
Definitely recommend it.

reviewer: gftraveler from South Riding, VA, USA
|
| We visited this very "gluten-free friendly" new restaurant that
just opened a few months ago in Ocean View, Delaware, due
west a few miles from the heart of Bethany Beach. One of the
owners, Cathy Berzins, who is also the head chef, has Celiac
Disease. So needless to say, your needs are well taken care of
here! Almost everything on the menu is gluten-free (although
they don't make a big deal about advertising that fact), and
anything that isn't can be made to be gluten-free. The
restaurant is in what looks like someone's former nice and
spacious beach cottage. There are various small, cozy rooms.
They are open daily from 7 am to 7 pm and serve breakfast,
lunch, and early dinners. They offered many HOMEMADE
gluten-free breakfast treats...coffee cake, a chocolate chocolate
chip muffin, nut breads, and cinnamon rolls. Typically they
even have scones but were out of them the morning we visited
for breakfast. We sampled just about everything...the coffee
cake, muffin, and cinnamon roll. All were good, but the coffee
cake was especially tasty. In addition to this "appetizer" of
baked goods, lattes, and gluten-free Ghirardelli hot cocoas, our
"party of five" splurged on many other breakfast entrees.
Between the five of us, we tried the "crazy eggs" (like a
frittata), the gluten-free belgian waffle (yummy!), and the very
delicious gluten-free "creme brulee" French toast. The
homemade gluten-free bread used to make the French toast
tasted like "regular" bread.
We'd love to go back for lunch or dinner sometime...they offer
sandwiches on their homemade gluten-free bread, soups,
salads, and other "light fare" for lunch, and a limited but very
appealing menu for early dinners: crab cakes, filet mignon,
seared jumbo scallops, beef bourguignon, and duck.
The chef/owner, Cathy Berzins, and her co-owner, Maria
Fraser, couldn't have been nicer, and we had the chance to
talk with Cathy at length after our meal when she took the
time to come out of the kitchen as the "breakfast hour" was
winding down. They hope to stay open year round...so if you're
in Ocean City, Maryland -- or Fenwick, Bethany, Dewey or
Rehoboth Beach -- this summer, or any other time of year,
stop in to the Cafe on 26. No matter what time of day, there
will be many safe and delicious gluten-free meal options
waiting for you! |

| This is the perfect restaurant for anyone with food allergies or special dietary needs. All meals are being prepared fresh from organically grown meats and veggies. There are no preservatives in any of the meals. The menu is about 85% gluten free, what a dream. I talked with the chef herself and she actually marked up a special menu for me, marking the items that contain gluten, rather than the other way around. Since most of the dishes are gluten free. She did mentioned that if I really wanted one of the other dishes that contain gluten, she would be able to find a substitution to still give me the perfect meal experience.
Our table had me, being gluten free, a vegetarian, and a vegan. The wait staff and everyone else was great, was aware and helped make this evening perfect.
There is nothing more you can asked for, a day at the beach, completed by the perfect meal without worries. |

| A great place to have some breakfast - all day.
The wait staff does not really know what gluten free means, but after a brief explanation she understood and was able to convey the information to the kitchen staff.
They are willing to work with you as long you take the time and explain your situation. I have no doubt that they would even let you read the ingredients on any of the products they use, if you asked. I was in the mood for an omelet which was very delicious.
The omelets are made fresh to order, so there is no batter or anything mixed into the eggs to make it fluffier.
I would give this experience 4 stars, from the experience, but the fact that I had to explain gluten free options makes me rate it with 3 stars to stay within the guidelines of this website. I still recommend this place. |

| This place has some great seafood. Don't expect to be seated when you arrive. The wait is generally long, but worth it.
Once I placed the order, the manager stopped by the table to ensure us that the meal will be prepared in accordance to our requirements. The selection was pretty good, since you can select any fish on the menu (except the salmon). |

|
| Last night we ate at the Cultured Pearl and I called ahead to be
sure that everything would work out. The manager spoke to
me on the phone and I learned that any teriyaki dish is safe.
They make their own teriyaki sauce and it is GF. As has been
previously reported, they offer GF soy sauce if you are having
sushi. He did mention that there are a few things, like eel,
which already are marinated in soy and should be avoided.
Anything that they make from scratch can be made safely. He
made a point of telling me that they have many customers
with Celiac and are pleased to able to accommodate them. My
son ordered chicken teriyaki and had veggie sushi with the GF
soy sauce. Also the edamame bar is great and we were assured
that nothing unfriendly is in the edamame. The dinner was
terrific.

| Big Fish Grill has gluten-free menus for lunch and dinner, BUT
their salmon is cooked in a NON-GF teriyaki sauce, so they
don't
offer it on their GF menu. I tried to see if they would let me
bring
our own sauce. They said to call in advance and they would try
to
see if they could get a GF sauce so we could have the salmon.
The managers come to the table to personally take your order.
They recheck everything with the chef and oversee the cooking
of
your meal.

reviewer: DC_Celiacs from DC/MD/VA,
|
| The owner of China Express, Xi (pronounced Zee) is quite
knowledgeable about gluten-free foods and has several Celiac
customers. Their chicken base contains soy sauce, so be sure
there is no chicken base in your dish. Tell them in advance you
need GF. He has many GF customers and is very
accommodating. They make everything to order and had
gluten-free La Choy soy sauce, but either bring your own soy
sauce or call ahead to be sure they have some in the
restaurant -- they just happened to have it at the time we
were there. Our group of 14 people had mixed reviews of the
restaurant -- from very good, to fair, to not very good. They
were extremely nice and went to great lengths to meet our
needs (not just the GF needs!). Very small restaurant, so call
ahead.

safe and gluten-free. Their burgers are also gluten-free (no filers).
You can ask to have it handled properly so there's no cross-

always bring your own.

| This is a fairly new restaurant. It's clear that you need
reservations in advance. It says they are very
aware/accommodating of ALL special food needs. Got a "Best of
Delaware" rating and said they accommodate all special food
needs. I just stopped in for an appetizer with one other person
from our group, and neither of us needs GF food, so were
weren't
able to test it out. The guacamole was very good. Service was
awful, but that may have been due to the time of day (mid-
afternoon) and the individual server. I didn't use the restroom
there, but the other person did, and said it was not good.

|
| Iron Hill Brewery is a restaurant with 2 locations in
Delaware, 5 in Pennsylvania, and one in New Jersey. They
have a very extensive (2
page) gluten-free menu at their restaurant. It includes soups,
salads, appetizers, shared plates, burgers, sandwiches, and
numerous beef, chicken, fish, and seafood entrees. I ordered
the outstanding Sweet Potato and Maple Bisque soup to start,
served with nutmeg creme fraiche -- YUM!!!!! Then I got a
turkey burger topped with guacamole, tomato, bacon, pepper
jack, and ancho-honey mayo. It, too, was wonderful. The only
downside is that burgers and sandwiches have to be ordered
without bun/bread, since they don't have gluten-free
buns/bread available. I would think that these days, it would be
relatively easy for restaurants like this to keep gluten-free buns
and bread on hand. There are so many good varieties available,
and they can keep it in the freezer to use as needed when a g-f
customer comes in. That way, it doesn't go bad. It would be a
nice option to have...to be able to order a burger or sandwich
and be able to enjoy it the old-fashioned way! I did also
appreciate the fact that, being a brewery, they did offer a
gluten-free beer: Red Bridge, by Anhueser Busch. I'd highly
recommend this restaurant if you live in or are traveling
through Pennsylvania or Delaware. Visit
http://www.ironhillbrewery.com to see their locations. |

reviewer: gftraveler from South Riding, VA, USA
|
| We vacation in Ocean City, MD for a week each summer, and
each time we come, we go online and try to find any
information we can about gluten-free restaurants in the area.
We don't typically have a lot of luck. This year, we vowed to try
something new, and we found a steakhouse, called Steakhouse
26, mentioned online. It is owned by a man whose three
children and wife are gluten-free. His name is Jerry Richard
(pronounced rih-shard), and he is also the head chef. When we
arrived at the restaurant, at the end of a nice strip mall
anchored by a Super Giant grocery store, we confirmed that
they'd be able to prepare a safe g-f meal for our son. Jerry
came right out and introduced himself. He explained that many
things on the menu (steaks and seafood, for the most part)
were gluten-free, and that most things could be tailored to be
g-f if we
wanted. He even mentioned in passing that he makes gluten-
free fried calamari and shrimp for his family all the time. So we
chose an appetizer of gluten-free fried shrimp (you don't find
THAT very often!) and ordered a flat-iron steak for our Celiac
son.
All in all, the meal was outstanding. We enjoyed a delicious
bottle of Greg Norman Shiraz, devoured our delicious and very
hearty salads (my spinach salad with cranberries, almonds, and
gorgonzola was to-die-for), and savored our entrees (in addition
to the flat iron steak, people at our table ordered the filet tips,
tilapia, and filet mignon/lobster tail surf and turf). The only
issue was that when they brought out the flat iron steak for
our son, it was sitting in a demi glace, which the chef had
previously told
us was NOT gluten-free. Fortunately, we questioned it, and the
server went right back to the kitchen to inquire. Indeed, they
had made a mistake and had to make his meal over again.
Better safe than sorry...and we were happy to wait while they
cooked a new steak. The mashed potatoes (g-f) and vegetables
(a green bean/yellow bean medley) served with the entrees
were very tasty as well. Our boys enjoyed g-f ice cream
sundaes sprinkled with coconut for dessert, and the rest of us
at the table shared a decadent bread pudding with caramel
sauce (heaven!).
If you arrive at the restaurant before 5:30 (as we did), they
have a special "early bird" special of buy-one-get-one-free
entrees (I'm not sure if this is
year-round or not and if it is just mid-week as opposed to
busier
weekend nights). The range of steaks and seafood is extensive,
and the ambiance is nice as well. We had a very friendly server,
and the staff generally seems eager to accommodate special
diets. I'd recommend this place highly...just be vigilant as
always. As our experience shows, even a restaurant with a
knowledgeable chef can make mistakes occasionally, so you
have to be on your toes! |
