Blues & Brews Bistro

After waiting 45 minutes for our apps ( calamari, and cheesy fries with bacon) they ended up coming out all at once with our meal. The calamari was overcooked with no flavor. The french fries are your plain old frozen crinkle cut fries. I ordered gluten-free chicken Marcella, three little teeny tiny pieces of chicken with broccoli that was almost mush. Mashed potato was ok. My wife got gluten-free fish and chips. Quite a few chunks of fish, but the inside fish was mushy. Our kids got flatbread, one was good the other was burnt to a crisp. We will not be coming back. However, great sunset on the top deck. There is a lot of gluten-free options however, food quality is poor at best. **** UPDATE*** After a few minutes, i has positive signs of being glutened. Im so disappointed.

Menu was incredibly clear for gluten free or vegatarian guests to enjoy. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer so i actually got to have french fries. Food was great and an excellent variety from pizza to burgers to indian butter chicken and even a few italian pasta dishes. Additionally the bar menu was huge and the music was great! If thats not enough to sell ya, theres an ocean view. Staff was also super kind and menu knowledgeable.

It’s a great back to lay back and have a good time. Very extensive GF menu. My husband and and I shared the chicken kabobs and he had the crispy chicken Alfredo and I had the Bourbon wings with bleu cheese. No pain!!!

They are very good at accommodating. Our server was knowledgeable about celiac. I had grilled fish and a salad with a GF cider. They have great live music downstairs, and from the top deck you can see the ocean, river and watch the sunset!

Having Celiac Disease, it's imperative that restaurants understand the importance of cross contamination, zero gluten touching my food. This place is amazing!!

Decided to try this place based on the ratings on Find Me GF app. There was a live band so we chose to sit in the upstairs outdoor deck area. It turned out to have a great many GF options and could make other options GF if desired. I had the Curry Coconut Shrimp…it was delicious. I also had wings and fries (I don’t get fried food out very often). All the food was very good and I did not react to it. Added bonus is that the restaurants is very affordable, our waitress (Nicole) was well informed about my concerns, and you get an ocean view to boot (if you sit on top deck). I will definitely be back here to try the many other GF options on the menu.

Nicole was our waitress and hands down she was awesome. We sat upstairs because they had live music and we were on a date so we wanted to have a little quiet dinner. Nicole made sure to ask the cooks any questions she didn’t have the answers to. The owner is celiacs as well, so she really gets the need for safe food. If you come on their slower nights they’re able to do some fried shrimp and other fried foods safely. However tonight it was too busy and they didn’t want to risk a CC which I can appreciate. They do have a dedicated fryer that is always gluten free so my husband was able to eat the fries. There is a lot to choose from on the menu as well! We just moved back to the area, and I can tell you that if my husband doesn’t get sick (don’t think he will!!) we will make this a regular spot! Eating out is so hard, it was nice to know that the owner gets it and knows how to ensure the safety of the guests!

We had an amazing experience here. This was the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had in my life. Everything is separate and we spoke with an owner and our waitress about celiac, they were both SO knowledgeable and made us feel good and safe. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall atmosphere but has live music and a full bar as well. We will definitely be going back.

Without a doubt the best gluten free meal we have had all week in Daytona. We will go back before we leave in 2 days. We had a gluten free pizza and gluten free quesadilla. We also had their Greek fries!!! It was amazing! The chef even stopped by our table! Best gluten free pizza I have ever had. They have a dedicated fryer and lots of knowledge on crops contamination! Best experience ever!!!! Gluten free fried shrimp and fish with a gluten free batter. Gluten free buns and tortillas, gluten free pizza and pasta!!! I was thrilled and so was my daughter!!

Excellent option for gluten free. I can’t speak to the cross contamination because I don’t have celiac but gluten allergy. So many gluten free options. Gf buns, quesadillas, pizza’s, pasta, and more. The fries are gluten free. I got the butter chicken. Huge portion size and very yummy. Just a very heavy meal so come hungry. :) The nachos for appetizer were gf and excellent too!!

They make their own gluten free flatbread! It’s amazing! One of the owners is gluten-free so they are very conscious about gluten allergies!
