The way I don’t even have words to describe how AMAZING their food is! We got everything GF on the menu except the cauliflower and it was all delicious. I also love being able to eat affordable tasty bar food safely with celiac because that just doesn’t happen. 10/10 will come back, and the Brussels sprouts are a must

They have a dedicated fryer. The chicken is crispy and seasoned well. The Brussels sprouts are to die for. We didn’t love the cauliflower. Fries were good. We will be back. I felt fine after, just full and thirsty!

This is my new addiction. My only complaint is that they aren’t open for lunch. We get a small chicken, fries and brussels. All amazing! The cocktails from the bar are fun and change regularly.

Located in The Grove this little treasure is a must visit! It’s a restaurant inside of a bar. Enter thru the Platypus where you can order a cocktail (alcoholic or non), a soda, seltzer or beer & then wander thru the door to the next room which reveals the restaurant. Chef/Owner came out to speak to our party about GF practices & how he takes every precaution possible. Food was outstanding! Felt completely safe eating here as a Celiac. GO EAT HERE! Yummmm

This place is awesome! We had the popcorn chicken, tofu, fries, and most of the sauces. Everything was delicious. We chatted with the owner for a bit, and he totally gets it. He makes sure it's safe for those with Celiac, and is not simply catering to the fad. And I guarantee that those that don't require GF will love it as well. It's just REALLY good! And the drinks at Platypus are solid as well. Can't wait to come back!

Enjoyed it, and we would like to go back. Went before the cardinals game. Small menu but almost all of it is GF. The chicken, sauces and veggies were all really good! Platypus next door also has great cocktails.

Highly recommend. It’s a limited menu of popcorn chicken and fries with lots of delicious sauces to try. You can also get Brussels or cauliflower. We tried the chicken, fries, and cauliflower. It was all delicious! Dedicated fryers for GF chicken and fries. FYI - It is located in a bar. I took my 3 teens in around 5:30/6:00 with no problem, and the staff was very welcoming.

Such delicious food! The chicken nuggets were to die for. The chef was proud to have food for anyone with dietary restrictions on a simple menu. And be sure to check out Platypus next door! They have a good non-alcoholic selection, as well.

Awesome spot. Dedicated GF fryer and Grant, the chef, was insanely nice and accomodating. Even made the popcorn chicken, which was delicious, celiac-friendly. Only issue was that I only had a chance to go here once during a short trip to STL.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Simple menu made with a variety of dietary restrictions/lifestyle choices in mind and the food does not dissapoint. I tried the carmelized brussels sprouts, crispy tofu and fries and they were all craving-worthy. We went during a slow point in the afternoon and the chef offered to make me gluten free popcorn chicken (in their dedicated fryer!) with a gf flour blend hes been playing with and you guys! It was amazing. The chef is awesome and takes food allergies/celiac very seriously and is super understanding. Definately give this neat little lounge a try.

Great place for GF bar food. This is the kitchen for the adjoining bar, Platypus. There are five items on the menu, and four of them are gluten free; five sauces and four of them are GF. I didn’t care for the seasoning on the cauliflower; enjoyed everything else.
