Review of Early Girl Eatery

We stopped at Early Girl Eatery (Asheville-South location) on Hendersonville Rd specifically to find safe dinner options for my celiac daughter and were thrilled with the choices, knowledge about gluten free, and quality offered. We ordered the GF buttermilk fried chicken, chicken poutine, and GF tempura fish and chips. We did not have to worry about cross contamination from fried foods because the ALL foods that go into the frier are Gluten Free (hand cut fries, chicken tenders, buttermilk chicken, tempura fish). They had an AMAZING selection of GF items which were clearly marked on the menu (two salads choices, all salad dressings are GF, all potato and veggie side dishes are GF, and all 3 gravy choices are GF). The menu also mentioned possibility of subbing a GF bun or bread for sandwiches. We were there for dinner, but breakfast items are served all day including GF waffles ( at the south Asheville location). The food was incredibly fresh and the staff and manager were very knowledgeable about gulten cross contamination. Portions were large and good selection of drinks as well. Highly recommended!
