When I mentioned I needed a GL order, the first thing the server asked was “do you have Celiac’s?” Finally - someone who gets it before I have to explain it! The best Reuben sandwich ever and they used a lot of meat! Delicious and I did not get sick. My daughter had the BLT on regular bread and said it was wonderful. No fries, though, as they don’t have a dedicated fryer.

Fantastic experiences three times now!! Have had breakfasts and last time I got a Rueben! Yummmmm! Safe and so good!

It was so great to get a home-style, typical breakfast. This was my first time here. I got corned beef hash, grits, eggs and toast- the waitress said she’d give me package butter since the knife goes into the butter tub they use in the kitchen and could be cc. I was impressed!!! They were so sweet, knowledgeable, and the food came out quick! To my surprise the entire place is decorated with authentic NYFD memorabilia- which is amazing, but hit me hard since my dad was a NYFD fireman. So after my tears cleared, I enjoyed our brunch very much. I’ll go back every chance I get. And it’s been 5 hours now and I’ve had no reaction at all and I’m very sensitive to cc.

Server was very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten allergies, food was amazing, wait time was not long at all for seating or for the meals and no bad reaction to any of the food. I got the gluten free cinnamon French toast (which was probably the best French toast I’ve had since I’ve been gluten free), a side of bacon, and a side of the country ham and left with leftovers for lunch! They also offer many other gluten free options and lunch options like gluten free sandwiches and wraps (every thing is labeled on the menu) which I would definitely like to try next time. If you’re celiac or gluten free I would suggest this place for a quick, filling, no worry meal.

This place is heaven for celiacs. Almost everything on the extensive menu has a gf option. And the food is delicious. I had the pancakes and took home a chicken wrap for lunch. The staff is understanding and very friendly. Altogether a delightful experience. Highly recommend.

This is the safest I’ve ever felt at a restaurant that wasn’t dedicated gluten free. I came two days in a row and got the same thing because it was so good. I told both servers I had celiac and they both knew what it was, which is rare! The second server told me how the gf food is prepared on its own equipment and everyone was educated about cross contamination and knew how to avoid it. Gluten free food is also served on red plates just as an extra step! Also, the food was delicious! I haven’t had pancakes this good since from before I was diagnosed—they remind me of my grandma’s. This may be the best gluten free food I’ve ever had at a restaurant.

Great meal! I got the pancake meal but idk what it was called. Gluten free food came out on different colored plates so no stress. And when I said I wanted gluten free they asked ME if I was a celiac or just preference so they def understand celiac procedures. I originally ordered hash browns too but my waitress found out they had gluten so I had fruit instead. Great meal! Highly recommend

I really enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich. They had several gluten free options and when I asked for a gluten free bun the waitress asked if I had celiac and let me know that they have a button that informs the kitchen of the celiac order.

What a nice surprise! Clean and comfortable diner type place on a strip mall. I found the staff and servers very nice and helpful. And they pointed out GF options and they were already marked on the menu. Pancakes were very yummy and came out on a different colored plate to ID them as GF. Prices were very reasonable.

So many gluten free items marked on the menu, but every time I asked if I could have it I was told that it is not safe for celiacs.. I finally asked what could I have as a celiac, and the waitress said pancakes or a salad.. I was there for breakfast. So so disappointed. Pancakes were just ok.

Like going back in time to a big breakfast at a coffee shop in the time before I was diagnosed celiac. Eggs with meat, grits, pancakes! gluten free, big servings and frequent coffee refills. Not a dedicated kitchen, but a proudly informed staff that casually cautioned me against ordering hash browns (“they’re cross-contaminated “) and enjoys being THE place so many new-comers and regulars indulge in normal American foods sans gluten. We will make more trips to Raleigh from now on

This place has great GF French toast and pancakes. GF items come out on a red plate instead of white. One of the servers we had one time didn’t seem to be super knowledgeable about GF, but I felt much better when one of the cooks brought out my daughter’s meal and assured me it was GF.

Barry’s cafe was unbelievable delicious! Linda was our waitress and gave us great recommendations. The gluten free pancakes were delicious! The menu showed what was gluten free and what was not. I didn’t have it but they have a gluten-free breakfast burrito.

I've eaten at Barry's twice now. Despite being super busy both times service was fast and the staff was knowledgeable on gluten-free and the needs of those with Celiacs. Food also comes out on a red plate to signify that it is gluten-free. The food is average, but as a Celiac they offer options I can't easily get elsewhere like Ruben sandwiches and pancakes. I also have firefighters in my family so I love the theme. I look forward to going back in the future and trying more of their gluten-free options.

We have been here a few times. Never a reaction. Owner and daughter both have Celiac, so they take it seriously. Service is fantastic and most items can be made GF. They have a separate toaster away from rest of kitchen. We've had pancakes, omelet, and egg platters. All good!

Very cozy and nice establishment. It’s a firehouse cafe. The staff was sweet and sanitized every table/ booth. The food tasted really good, not over seasoned. The gf pancakes are made with a gluten free batter mix. They have gluten free toast and french toast. If you’re in Raleigh it’s worth the stop. BREAKFAST SERVED ALL DAY!

My son and I ate here and we ordered his gluten free knowing I’d help him finish his plate (I’m celiac, he is not). He ordered home fries as a side and we were asked 4 separate times if we were aware that the home fries would be cross contaminated. They have a dedicated cooking space for gluten free. Food was great. Pancakes were so good. Lots of gluten free sandwich options for lunch too (cheesesteak, Ruben, club, chicken sandwich etc...).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love Barry’s! Awesome breakfast! They are careful about cooking gluten free stuff in a separate area/clean area to avoid cross contamination. I’ve had the French toast, but usually end up getting the pancakes with chocolate chips and scrambled eggs with cheese. They put gluten free on red plates to insure not getting it mixed up with the regular stuff. Never gotten sick :)

Celiac friendly?

Great food, many GF options. Owner’s wife and daughter both have celiac so the kitchen and restaurant clearly understand it. GF items delivered on a different colored plate as outlined in other reviews. Our server was new but great with checking with the kitchen to make sure there was no question on whether options were truly GF and safe for celiac. We went out of our way to eat here and glad we did. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Will go back.

My family and I were super impressed with this place for breakfast this morning. The waitress handled our 8 year old Celiac’s order with ease and was very knowledgeable. When asked if the chocolate chips were GF, she said she wasn’t positive but offered to check on them for us immediately. My son’s GF chocolate chip pancakes were delicious! He also got a side of bacon. My husband talked to the female owner after our meal and she was so kind, and told us how her daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease. The place has a kind of quaint diner sort of feel, and the fact that they are so supportive of firefighters and the first responder community via philanthropic efforts makes it all the more charming. We will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Delicious Gf wraps, sandwiches, pancakes! Very celiac friendly/ heard the kitchen staff yell “celiac order”. And, the gf food is served on red plates (as opposed to the white plates for the regular food)!
