Shoreline Diner & Vegetarian Enclave

Same owners as Georgie’s in west haven. The food is delicious and almost everything is gluten free. They have a gluten section of the kitchen (because all breading is gluten free and all fryers) it’s the opposite feelings of being gluten free since they have 90% of the kitchen gluten free and a dedicated section just for gluten

Yummy food & waiter noted my dtr’s celiac needs. My husband said it’s best GF bread he’s had. They make it in house. Will definitely be back.

This is the best gluten-free menu I've ever seen! I had a turkey burger. The french fries were amazing. Next time I need to try the chicken strips!

Everything is delicious, highly recommend chicken fingers and onion rings. Can’t even believe it’s gluten free. The waiter told me most of the food is already gluten free (such as chicken fingers)!

I've gotten ill a few times eating here and their sister restaurant, Georgie. Sad to say because they make one of the best burgers around. After the last incident, I learned that they use the same griddle for gluten free and non gluten free items. They try to partition and scrape it clean, but obviously not enough for Celiac.

We ate here several weeks ago, and my celiac husband had significant GI symptoms of gluten exposure shortly thereafter. We reported it and we asked to give it another try. We did so last night, and again he had similar symptoms. We were very explicit about his needs with the server, who was very pleasant. We ate here frequently before the pandemic, but sadly can no longer trust this establishment to be celiac safe and won’t be back.

Amazing GF options. Food was excellent. Waiter was knowledgeable and labeled my order Celiac level severity. I had the patty melt and thick cut onion rings!

Best GF experience I have ever had. 85% of the menu is GF. Classic diner food which was amazing. The breading is already GF, so all the fried things are safe to eat. The entire dessert menu is GF except for the brownie. Staff is knowledgeable and super friendly. 10/10 recommended the cannoli and the tuna melt.

We had a fantastic meal here recently. My celiac daughter had the fried mozzarella, chicken wings, french toast and carrot cake. The menu options were amazing. So many items that she cannot eat in most restaurants. Everything was delicious, including all the other non-GF food we ordered. Service was fantastic. We live over an hour away, but we will find an excuse to come back again soon! Highly recommend!

Typical diner food, which was so much fun to be able to have! Fries were good, fried mozzarella was great (but I would rather have the marinara on the side than underneath), and the "funfetti" cake was amazing!

A massive menu — pretty much all gluten-free and celiac-friendly. Talking deducted fryers for onion rings to chicken parm, and a full dessert menu of at least 9-10 items that are terrific and safe. Imagine that! The staff is courteous and very much understand why their menu’s accessibility is so important. We will drive an hour to visit moving toward.

I have been here maybe about 2 dozen times. They waiters are amazing they remember you and truly care about you and your need to be safe. They have a seperate fryer. I had fried mozz. They offer nachos and chicken tenders and baked Mac and cheese all safe for appetizers. Every main dish I have had has been so good. And they can accommodate dairy free if you need. as well as gluten free. So good! It's pricey but you get what you pay for. Also they have all gluten free desserts. Enjoy a canolli again :)

Great diner! We have eaten here about 12 times after just moving to the area... my son and I both are Celiac and we've never gotten sick. Very accommodating staff also easily accommodate my son's egg and dairy-free needs as well... fries are in a designated fryer.

The staff is very knowledgeable about Celiac and cross-contamination; completely trustworthy for any gluten free. I’m incredibly sensitive and I’ve never had an issue, and the waitstaff, kitchen, and management are reassuring and do a wonderful job. First place I’ve ever been able to order off almost the entire menu. More things are able to be made GF than not, so many options!

This is one of very few places my celiac daughter can eat at without getting sick. They also mark in multiple places on the receipt it is an order for a celiac person and are very knowledgeable about celiac disease. I would 100% recommend them.

Celiac heaven! The staff is very knowledgeable about celiac. They have many options.

I love that my daughter can get whatever she wants here, but gluten free. They have so many options! My toddler with Celiac loved the food and they were happy to answer any questions we had.

Bring your appetite because this place is still wonderful! Very busy at lunch but quick seating, nice, knowledgeable staff, and so many choices! GF desserts also! GF clubs sandwiches, sweet potato fries, and crispy grilled cheese! This time I had creme filled French toast with strawberries! What a treat!

The menu is fantastic, we’ve eaten there several times and not gotten sick. This place is absolutely amazing and the only reason I feel like my family can just run out to a normal restaurant for dinner without a bunch of preplanning. Take my money!

Great GF choices in a classic diner setting. 2/3 of the kids' menu can be prepared GF, and lots of adult choices as well. $2 desserts on Tuesdays, including GF desserts. There is a $1 upcharge for GF meals, but that is well worth it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

excellent, a huge g.f. menu, baked goods and desserts!

Celiac friendly?

An extensive gluten free menu that is colored red so the server knows you are gluten free. The buckwheat pancakes were delicious with real maple syrup. They have a designated fryer and prepare gluten free menu items on a separate section of the kitchen. I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant!

So pleased to find so many nice options on the GF menu for my son with Celiac disease. The staff is friendly and the food was pretty good, not great and a little over priced at $5.75 for GF grilled cheese and $4 something for fries. I had the beef flank, mashed potatoes and broccoli and unfortunately found 3 long brown hairs! I was quite disgusted after the first one...having to pull it out of my mouth😫! The server was very apologetic and comped that dish and gave us a free cupcake, so great customer service but still... also, my son is sick to his stomach a few hours later. We are camping, so it could be something else but the timing is suspicious.

Celiac friendly?
