The Gate House

Gf menu, gf burger buns, gf pizza crust. Waitress knew about cross contamination and which ingredients had to be removed from my burger to make it gf. Overall good experience. No gf fryer tho.

Went for dinner with my partner expecting to have a lot of options due to previous reviews. The GF menu explicitly states there is not a dedicated gluten free fryer and that the gluten free pizzas are not safe for celiacs due to the flour in the air, so I felt pretty limited as a celiac, even with a GF menu.

I ordered “The Maplewood” salad which had greens, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, kalamata olives, feta, roasted potatoes, onion, a lemon olive oil dressing and a green goddess drizzle (and I added grilled chicken.) To my surprise, it came with a side of gluten free pita! It was so delicious I checked *multiple times* to make sure it was actually safe. I would go back if I was craving this particular salad, but nothing else on the GF menu appealed to me or felt safe.

A small note — our server did not write down our order. She seemed knowledgeable but it really stresses me out when servers do this for folks with dietary restrictions. We need to know you will remember!

I wouldn’t recommend this place for celiacs:

1. I tried to order a gluten free pizza, but my server informed me there is “flour flying around all over the oven” - so safe to say I didn’t order that. I’m glad she debriefed me but it didn’t seem like common practice for the servers to do so.

2. I ordered a burger with a GF bun instead, I got 0 sides because none were celiac safe and the side salad was extra. So overall I paid $30 just for a burger with a crumbly bun, and a water.

I’m not coming back here! :(

I got a burger with a GF bun - it was delicious!! My waiter was super knowledgeable and wonderful. He actually brought out some GF pita just because and it was so yummy I got a ton to go. Great experience would highly recommend!

Edit 5/12/22: I went specifically to order pizza, and my waitress informed me that although they take as many precautions as possible, there’s still flour flying around everywhere. Big bummer.

______________________

The waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free options. The GF items were not marked on the menu, but she was able to tell me what was available.

I also have an egg and dairy allergy, and was surprised to find they have GF and vegan pizza, which is hard to come by. They also have a separate station for GF pizza. I felt very safe eating here overall!

As for the pizza itself, the cauliflower crust was a little soft/doughy, but when I reheated the leftovers at home it was much better!

Celiac - If u miss pizza like I do, this is the place to try. I got the Monroe Ave pizza with a cauliflower crust. It was amazing I questioned if it was gf. Their house salad was also fresh and I loved the vinaigrette. I will be back.

Good food and a cute atmosphere! I got a nice burger and mashed potatoes. My non gluten free family enjoyed their food as well. Quick service, we were able to get in and out.

So disappointed 😞After seeing so many 5 star reviews, I was so surprised that my server discouraged me from ordering pizza. The waiter said there was so much flour flying around in the kitchen that cross contamination was almost guaranteed. I went on a Saturday evening so maybe how busy they are is a factor.

Ultimately, There were little to no items marked GF but the chef made me one of their salads with grilled shrimp. The salad was ok but not being able to eat pizza with my family was a bummer.

This was probably the BEST gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. I only put four stars down because the waiter originally brought out a regular pizza. I thought it didn’t look gluten free so I asked. He was very apologetic and said he hit the wrong button while taking down my order. They were very quick to cook me up another one. I probably only waited an extra 5 to 10 minutes, and wow, it was worth the wait!!! So delicious!!! I would just double check that your food is gluten free. It’s a really busy place and it’s understandable that they’d miss something in the whirlwind. Oh, and they only have vegan and dairy free options. My husband is also on keto and could get their chicken wings

My wife and I were visiting the area for the weekend and initially choose here because I have a gluten allergy which makes it difficult to find places to eat. They were by far one of the most accommodating places for gluten allergies in Rochester.

On top of that the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly and informative when it came to menu items.

Everything was very clean and spaced out very well. Overall, great experience!

I have only ordered pizza but never gotten sick! Have ordered on at least 3 separate occasions.

I have only ordered pizza since going GF. They make my favorite pizza! Best GF pizza I have found, the crust is so good the first time I had it I was afraid it wasn’t really GF!

Many gluten free options. My daughter and I shared a pizza- gf, vegan cauliflower crust. It was amazing. I actually checked with the waitress because I was worried it was too doughy. Luckily I questioned the waitress when asking about the fries since she told me they were gf. I had her go back to check about the fryers and luckily found out they did not have a separate one, so the fries actually were not safe for my daughter. After apologizing for that mistake, she was very clear that the kitchen would know to put the pizza crust on a separate stone and to use new tongs to take it out of the oven. Overall a good experience though. Our favorite crust yet!
