We stopped here while traveling and was happy to find a breakfast spot with so many GF options available. The food was good and waitress was knowledgeable and nice. I will say, we are used to the extra cost that comes with eating GF but this one didn't quite seem worth it. The food was basic, nothing fancy. There were no sides with main dish so we had to order any toast or fruit a la carte style.
Amazing menu with so many GF choices! My daughter has Celiac and was so excited to get to eat restaurant pancakes. She loved them! Two of us ate regular (not GF) food and it was delicious. We were just passing through town but would definitely go out of our way to eat here again.

Just found this little gem in my area. They are very gluten understanding and friendly. The food was great (even the GF toast!). I had the breakfast omelet. I look forward to making this one of my favorite go-to places.
We spoke with the staff and were knowledgeable. They had seperate area for food preparation. Items were marked on the menu as GF and there was a great selection. My son had the pancakes and said they were delicious and did not get sick. Would recommend.
Visiting from out of state and we will always come back to Barry’s. They are so careful with cross contamination. Our waitress told us the owners daughter has celiac and that is why they are so good. We love Barry’s!
Found this little gem searching for a brunch place. Got the breakfast wrap- all their gluten free options are served on a red plate (but of course I still checked the wrap was gf). Sadly the bacon is fried so I got apple sauce as a side but a very tasty quick breakfast.
Great experience! They have a large gluten free selection and serve all items that are made gluten free on red plates. We had pancakes and bacon and the food was delicious!
Great breakfast! Had grits, eggs, toast, and sausage patties with no issues! Can’t have the hash browns because they have a shared fryer but they are knowledgeable and let you know you can’t have them. Portions are a little small overall so that’s why 4 stars but safety is a 5.
Phenomenal! I think about this meal so much. It was delicious
Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing everything!!!!
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
great experience here! our waitress let us know what had dedicated gf spaces in the kitchen and was super informed about celiac. we didn’t have to tell her because she asked if it was celiac! the gf food also came out of different plates which helped
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.
Our server was knowledgeable about Celiac vs. GF preference. They do have a dedicated GF bread toaster. I am NOT celiac, so I can’t speak to that.
Love this place! Super great staff. They have everything marked for gf and make sure you know what is celiac safe if you ask. The gf pancakes are so yum.
Went for brunch today. The pancakes were so good. Everything was. Great service.
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.
Big fluffy pancakes, good omelettes. This is the classic diner breakfast you are craving.
I love this place! Always have great experiences. Bring out gf food on different colored plates which is helpful for celiac anxiety!
I’ve always had a great experience here, never been contaminated. They have many options and it nice to be able to actually get breakfast.
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.
Excellent place with a lot of gluten free options clearly labeled on the menu⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
Food and service were great! Gluten-free pancakes, French toast and sandwiches were all delicious!
great gluten free options and our waitress was super thorough and accommodating when it came to keeping my food 100% safe. i love this place!
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!
Quick service & great food. Server asked whether the gluten free request was because of celiac or not and made an extra note. All gluten free items prepared in separate kitchen space except there is no dedicated fryer
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!
We decided to do pick up after we saw how crowded the inside was. Kitchen staff not wearing masks. The GF pancake was OK, kinda rubbery. Eggs and bacon were awesome though. Wouldn’t go back.
Delicious food & excellent service! GF pancakes are cooked in a separate space. I also enjoyed an omelet & GF grits. Coffee is great too! Will definitely be returning.
Had delicious blueberry buttermilk pancakes!! Definitely a treat. Service was fantastic as well. Everything is clearly marked on the menu. Great experience.
Amazing!!!! My fiancé and I both had the burgers and they were delicious. She even ran next store to grab more gluten free buns as they recently ran out. Amazing customer service and friendly conversation. You won’t regret going here (owners wife who served us has celiac)
Quality of the food was great the gluten free pancakes had fresh blueberries. They were sooo good. Their menu was easy to ready and the staff was super helpful.
Staff was very friendly and lets you know that the cook will cautious about cross contamination. Very impressed.
The service was great, and there are a lot of gf options. It was some of the best breakfast foods that I’ve had.
