Magnolias

Delicious!! Has a huge selection including apps and deserts, I had the house made chips with blue cheese, filet and sides, and crème brûlée. They had a ton of options including fish options and mine was brought out by a manager who assured me everything was gluten free everytime when presented to me. Can’t recommend enough

Great experience and server! Ate at Magnolias for lunch - Got the dill pickle deviled eggs, shellfish over grits, and vanilla bean crème brûlée, all dishes were delicious. Server took note as soon as I said I had celiac and talked me through their kitchen protocols. It’s very obvious that they take pride in the way they handle gluten free dishes. Our server is was even aware of the find me gluten free app! Highly recommend stopping in if you are in Charleston for a safe and delicious meal. Also recommend booking a reservation a few days in advance as they get busy quickly.

Absolute 10/10 experience! They provided a separate gluten free menu and it had a numerous amount of delicious things! The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and made sure that the food that was brought to me accommodated my allergy. Overall loved the atmosphere, it was very lively but still quiet enough that my partner and me could talk to one another. They also had 2 gluten free dessert options. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits, they were amazing! Not sure about cross contamination, but I didn’t get sick! Definitely coming back here and recommending it to anyone I know going to Charleston!

I can’t say enough good things about the meal and service. Waitress was knowledgeable and managers brought out my food and assured me that it was gluten free. Highly recommend.

An amazing meal on of vacation to Charleston. Atmosphere was great, service was wonderful and food was excellent. I have celiac disease and they had a gluten free menu with many options. My husband and I both had fish dishes which were so flavorful. We were also surprised by the large portion sizes. Some of the steaks, grits and other dishes they had coming out of the kitchen looked wonderful too. The bread they offered was not gluten free but my husband enjoyed it and said it came with a flavored butter which was wonderful.

Ate lunch here. I got the 1/2 portion of shellfish and grits. It was delicious. They were very accommodating of my allergies and I felt very safe as they mentioned it several times and assured me about the meal when they brought it out as well. No problems after either. My husband has no allergies and enjoyed his meal as well. Make reservations on their website using resy and you can let them know your allergies ahead of time (and they are very busy!). A bit pricy but many places in a city are and it’s more upscale than many places.

We decided to “walk in” and sat at a bar table. Best decision ever! Liz our server was great and took my notification of Celiac seriously. She brought a GF menus and explained available modifications. The manager brought my appetizer and entree out personally assuring me everything was prepared safely. They didn’t have any GF deserts aside from the ice cream but Liz write down several places to go. The food was DELICIOUS! We got the blue cheese chips and I got the Braised Rib with horseradish mashed potatoes and carrots. Loved it all!

Dinner here is a must when in Charleston. There is a dedicated gluten free menu and staff very knowledgeable and conscientious on service. My appetizer, entree, and dessert all specially prepared and served separately (first) compared to my other dining companions. All courses so delicious. The pimento cheese with house made chips, seafood over grits, and vanilla crème brûlée were simply divine. Highly recommend.

I went here for the first time today. Walking in, I was nervous (as any celiac is when trying a new place). I am not only gluten free, but lactose free as well (and picky which doesn’t help) when seated, the server came over and noticed we had the GF menus and asked if it was intolerance or celiac disease. I ordered the house made pimento cheese which was served with gf potato chips and it was fantastic. He was concerned because I’m not supposed to have much dairy but I assured him I would be fine with a small amount. For my meal I ordered the Magniolias Classic Vegetarian and I was blown away. Will be returning

First time to Charleston and thanks to this app I was able to have a super delicious meal here. Verified with the hostess and the waitress about the gluten free practices and they both said they’re super safe and there’s little to no chance of cross contamination.

Everyone was super nice and accommodating. They have their own gluten free menu, and a separate person brought out the gluten free plate. Prices were reasonable as well! I had the Buffalo grilled chicken Cobb salad.

Started with the summer melon salad. Absolutely amazing. I am also dairy free and they left the feta off for me. As has been stats by others, the bread is amazing. So nice to have bread with everyone else at the table. I then had the low country bouillabaisse, incredible. The waiter was very attentive to my needs and made sure everything was handled separately. Ended the meal with the peach sorbet. Amazing meal, highly recommend.

Returned in spring 2016 and they have eliminated the gluten free bread and no longer offer dairy free sorbet.
