Holley Falls Bar & Grill

I love this place! I can order anything on the menu and not be afraid of cross contamination. The food is delicious. You would never guess it's gluten free. The first time I was there the waitress laughed at me because I kept asking, with each new dish, if this was gluten free too. There is very little gluten in their kitchen - just the breadsticks.

Sadly, this restaurant just closed.

This restaurant has changed hands. They claim they are gluten friendly, but make no claim to being celiac safe. 6/15/23

My daughter is a severe celiac and had no problems eating here. The food was wonderful and the staff bends over backwards to be sure the food is safe.

The owner explained to me that his wife (another owner) and one of their children are gluten intolerant. They have switched out all ingredients in the kitchen to be Gluten free. They have dedicated fryers but all the ingredients are GF so you don’t have to ask. If you had an allergy I would always recommend mentioning it so prep can be extra careful. The menu is GF except for sandwich buns. Even the fried items have GF beer in the batter or a GF breading.

Everything is so delicious. There is a note on the menu that GF options are available but upon inquiring the menu is completely GF except for sandwich buns. It’s nice to have the whole menu to choose from and be able to get things with chips or fried things too!

It’s a lovely place. Always a seat available and we love to sit outside. The drink menu is long and they have a couple ciders as well as cocktails. The food menu is so thoughtful from appetizers to entrees to dessert. Wonderful combinations and ingredients. You will love it.

This is a 100% Dedicated Gluten Free Kitchen with owners who are them selves Gluten Free. The Chef, staff, and the working owners do a fantastic job! The only item that they have in the place that contains gluten is a burger roll. There in house hand made deserts are all gluten free, I had a fish fry here Last Friday and It was I kid you not beer battered and everything I have been missing about a great fish fry!! I also had the Lava Cake for desert and it was so good with the whiskey and ginger I was enjoying. This place is for everyone, people who do not normally eat gluten free will not notice any difference!

We ate here tonight and the food was great. The whole menu is GF expect the bread sticks. Everything from the fried pickles, the biscuits, to the chocolate lava cake.

While the menu isn’t marked you just tell them what you want, no separate menu because you can do anything.

The service was also very good. The server was celiac and knew all about the items. Was attentive but didn’t hover.

Will definitely be back.

Ate there last night - wonderful place, great service, and delicious food. The whole menu is gluten free, except breads. Lovely dining room in A+ condition. I had their homemade cauliflower flatbread topped with chef-prepared roasted tomatoes, peppers, etc etc - so delicious. My husband had their locally-famous Friday fishfry (made in a dedicated non-g-free fryer) and loved it. I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to walk into a beautiful, spotless dining room and discover that everything on their wide-ranging menu is gluten-free. Kudos to the owners and staff. It's great. If you are boating or cycling the Erie Canal, it's about 1/2 mile into the town center and the Holley Falls Bar & Grill. Cheers!

Dedicated Fryer for fries, Fish and chips. They said 95% menu can be GF!

I LOVE this restaurant!! The food is 100% safe for Celiac's to eat and completely delicious. I had the fish and chips, which was a new experience for me. Normally I can't ever eat fried foods in restaurants, but the frier is 100% gluten free, and they have gluten free options for EVERYTHING. Seriously, if you have a gluten problem, this is the place to eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Newly opened this summer. Staff says owner is Celiac, thus GF. They have GF fish and chips, burger rolls, etc. Staff will let you know if an item cannot be GF. Food and service were very good.
