Server says “it’s easier to tell you what’s NOT available as gluten free on our menu”. Lovely space, excellent menu, dedicated fryer, they know how to care for GF customers.

I love A Side. Everyone is very knowledgeable about celiac and GF and are super helpful. The food is amazing and it is truly one of the best spots to eat GF in St. Paul

Very happy with experiences here. Staff are all well versed and are happy to talk through options (although not clearly listed). Never been sick and we live down the street. Love this staple.

Great tasting food and the staff were extremely helpful. We are sensitive celiacs and no one had any issues after. We will be returning regularly.

Fabulous menu and most everything can be prepared gf. Had the Louisiana Hot Chicken sandwich, was good but we prefer a little more spice. Also had the Steak and grilled onion sandwich, was fantastic. Tasted quite like French onion soup. Generous portions, dedicated fryer. Fun atmosphere and excellent service. They also have a rotating gf beer option. Recommend and will come back when we are in the area.

Their menu was quite extensive for gluten-free items and they noted that they have a dedicated fryer. I ended up getting a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with pickles on a gluten-free bun and french fries. The service was quite friendly and knowledgeable.

GF Dedicated Fryer. Most items in the menu are gluten free. Just ask if something can be made GF. Also have GF buns for the burgers.
Old firehouse made into a restaurant. Cute atmosphere. Prices slightly higher higher than expected. The app should have $$ not $ on their description.

UPDATE: 10/23/23 — they have a new menu BUT they went back to making their fryer safe and there are still GF options.

Excellent food where you can eat the fries (dedicated and only fryer where everything that goes in is safe).
GF Potato starch coated fried chicken sandwich is NO LONGER available since the menu updates
Udi’s bun instead of brioche bun (it’s toasted) is made really well for things like burgers or falafel sandwich (which are both safe and GF in GF fryer).
Burger and fries were great. Salads present beautiful and look so fresh and green. Breakfast food looks amazing. Much can be made GF. We had lunch (pictured below with menu and the food we had).
We were told by our knowledgeable server that the Dinner menu can be adapted for many GF items. Nothing is market on the menu as GF but it felt very safe.
Cute atmosphere of an old fire house with outdoor seating on a quiet residential street.

Love this place! Delicious food in a fun atmosphere. We had one with celiac, 2 vegetarians, and 2 keto-dieters; everyone had a great meal with no gluten contamination issue.

Food was good but there is NO dedicated fryer anymore. They are looking to remove the item causing the issue but it is not dedicated now. It was also crazy hot inside. No AC or fans. Our group was looking for more air movement.

Update! I was at this restaurant tonight, August 2, and they have gone back to having a GF fryer! The wait person said that the brussel sprouts went back to being panned fried as people were unhappy about the fryer not being gf. I had a cheeseburger and frys with no issue.

This place got such good reviews so I was excited to try this place but was definitely a little disappointed by my experience and definitely got glutened. I went for brunch and when I asked about a gluten free menu the server was rude and said “ no, I don’t know any restaurants that have gluten free menus anymore”. They had options and she seemed somewhat knowledgeable but I just had a bad feeling. I got the breakfast sandwich and although it was very good I don’t feel great today! Glad other people had such a great experience, maybe the dinner service is better.

Celiac daughter loved the wings from the appetizer menu and GF nuggets/ fries from the kids menu. They have a dedicated GF fryer. We will definitely be back!

Second time here. Best GF hamburger. Fries in a dedicated fryer —YAY! GF Options are available. Love coming here and so does my non-gf family.

They do not have a GF menu nor are GF items marked. However, the staff was knowledgeable and checked with the kitchen on items they were unsure of. The coq au vin was delicious and completely gf!

Delicious food, great staff. I got the fried chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun which I haven’t had something like that in SO long and it was just as good as you can imagine. I also got fries since they have a dedicated fryer. They were so crispy. I got the house sauce and special sauce I think they were called. Both so good! No gluten free menu but they can adjust almost everything.

They're so knowledgeable. I've eaten here a dozen times and I always feel safe. Almost everything is already GF or can be easily modified without compromising the flavor. Dedicated GF frier. Excellent bartender. DELICIOUS food.

We were so excited to try this place based off of the reviews, but sadly their chicken sandwich is a “seasonal” option. Their website did not reflect this. If you want the chicken sandwich make sure you call first to see if it’s in “season”. We still ate and I was not impressed. We are from out of town and I don’t think we’ll make it a point to go back.

Food & drinks were great all around! My wife (who has celiac disease) ordered the fried chicken sandwich (I of course stole a bite) - top notch! Staff was kind and understood celiac risk and how to prepare GF menu items safely for those with celiac or severe gluten intolerance. While the in-house beers are not gluten free they did have a full bar and good local options from Burning Bros and Bauhaus (seltzer). Looking forward to next trip to A-Side!

Phenomenal! Most of the menu is naturally gluten free other than the buns… which they have gluten free versions of.

Ordered the gluten free fried chicken sandwich. They use potato flour for the breading and a dedicated fryer mean the wonderful fresh fries were available as a side. Also ordered a side of bernaise sauce to dip the fries. Wonderful food and knowledgeable staff to ensure a safe dinner for 2 celiacs. No reactions later in the evening of any cross contamination. Highly recommend.

They don't have a specific gluten free menu but they got gf buns and a gluten free fryer. I got the Station 10 burger with fries and it was good! Also, this place is in an old fire station which is really cool!

The waitstaff were great about working with celiac. They can make anything on the menu gluten-free and have GF buns for the burgers and sandwiches. They are also a brewery but they have a full cocktail menu, wine, and cider as well. I have eaten there lots of times and never had a reaction.
