Gallaghers Boxty House

Had some of the best food ever at this unique restaurant! Found this almost the entire menu was GF which just made my heart sing! Loved everything from the Boxty pancakes to the Bailey’s Cheesecake. It’s so refreshing to be able to go into a restaurant and not be limited to 2-3 items. Also whatever the Irish do to make their GF fish and chips so crispy, battered just right and fried to perfection needs to be brought over the US. How have we not figured this out yet?!

The fish and chips were gluten free and so good! It was packed inside so I was glad I made reservations ahead of time. Sat by the window and enjoyed a great meal and could people watch everyone on Temple. The service was also great!

TONS of options, very well informed. Some of the best fries (boxty fries) I've had in my life. Wait staff was also extremely friendly and shared suggestions for our day. Would be a regular if I lived in Dublin!

A good meal in a major tourist zone of Dublin. We grabbed one of the sharing platters for a quick lunch. Our waiter let us know that the meal was safe for Celiacs, and the menu was clearly labeled. Enjoyed that it was a family-owned restaurant, even though it felt a bit like being in Times Square. (Also, boxty refers to a traditional Irish potato pancake.) I wouldn’t eat there a second time, but it was an easy, enjoyable bite in the middle of the day.

Had the boxty fries to share and the chicken boxty dish. Waiter very knowledgeable about GF, confirmed the only item not GF on the menu is the stew, they use rice flour for everything else. Also able to sub the beer for GF beer in the €25 boxty deal (before 5.30pm).

I don’t understand how anyone rated this place highly. We went for breakfast and when I asked for a gluten free menu the waitress rudely said to just pick any option without a ‘1’ allergen marked. I noticed that the veggie brekkie did not have a ‘1’ so I wanted to confirm that the boxty pancake was not made with flour and said I was Celiac. Again she was very rude and said if there’s no ‘1’ it’s gluten free. I went ahead and ordered it but ended up not eating the boxty pancake nor anything that touched it since I did not feel safe (it looked very much like a traditional pancake that would be made with flour). That left me with just fried eggs and beans. I did not get sick, but it was obviously not an enjoyable meal and I wish I had just left without trying to order something.

Very good meals. Many GF options. Ate here three times. Beef Boxty, Chicken Boxty (my fav), Fish & Chips were all excellent and went well with a pint of Bulmer’s Cider. The GF bread pudding with vanilla crème was the only “eh” thing I had. Watch out, the ketchup contains barley.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten here 3 times over 7 months. First time no issue. Second time I had a small amount of gluten. I was hoping it was the gluten removed beer. Third time I had a small amount of gluten. I will not be back.

No

Mary was delightful and the food was as amazing as 5 years ago when we were here!

Celiac friendly?

Wonderful gluten free fish and chips! The best gluten free beer I’ve ever had. Thank you!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The upside is that the food is delicious! The downside is I got sick and I didn’t eat anything else the day I ate here. Within 30 minutes I knew something was off. The servers seemed knowledgeable and based on all the positive reviews on here and the allergens clearly marked on the menu I gave it a try. The first red flag was that the Boxty was listed as containing milk on the regular menu but not on the side dish menu so I guess they aren’t super accurate with allergens. When I asked the server about it and he double checked with the chef, he found that it was incorrectly marked on the menu. I had the baked salmon with veggies and steak chips (I’m guessing these were fried in oil with gluten or something). I wouldn’t recommend to other celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Lovely place, great service and catered to gluten-free needs. Menu clearly marked for “NG” (non gluten), good cider options. Their gaelic Boxty steak with mushroom gravy (wrapped in a GF potato pancake?!? Yum!) was off the chart good, tender, and cooked perfectly medium-rare. And the Baileys cheesecake (also gluten-free) was a fantastic way to end my Dublin visit.

Staff was quite knowledgeable on GF and friendly. I’ll be back!

This place was like by everyone in our party and had a ton of gluten free options. Great Irish pub style place for dinner with table service. Staff was great and friendly.

If you’re using this app it is probably because you have a gluten allergy, and if so this place is a must. The menu is clearly labeled and staff is knowledgeable, but the food sets this place a part.

The seafood chowder was amazing!!! Staff Was exceedingly helpful and friendly! Loved it!
