Bostonia Public House

I usually order burgers with no bun but on a whim decided to have the GF bun with my grass fed burger. It was delicious.

They have a gluten free indicator on meals. I informed the server I was gluten free. I was eating breakfast, so no food yet today. The meal was delicious, but I don’t think they put my home fried potatoes in their dedicated fryer? I started reacting near the end of the meal. Swollen abdomen, heartburn, itching all day.

Great brunch. Knowledgeable and good selection of items. Prices rather high for the location, atmosphere, etc. I'd go to Legal before coming here again but it was a good experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu. I have been here several times and have never been disappointed in my meal!

Chris was a great bar tender. I had the chicken sandwich on a GF bun and had no issues. Also got the potato gratin and Bostonian baked beans as sides and it was delicious. Hubby enjoyed the crab dip with salt and pepper chips. Chris made sure to confirm with chef for allergies. Great place to go. Nice atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They definitely claimed to be gluten free and dairy allergy friendly but my friend got so sick from eating here and there was hair in 2 of our dishes. The waitress said she “googled” if a drink recipe was allergy friendly- it wasn’t once we actually looked up the ingredients after her throat was itchy.

The menu is on the smaller side but the stuff they have is delicious! I got the steamed mussels for an appetizers and the hot lobster roll for my dinner. Easily, the best lobster roll I've had!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Chicken sandwich was very good. Echoing the others on the dedicated fryer, so I had the fries. No issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten-free menu and dedicated fryer. The food is really good but a bit expensive considering the portion sizes. The have Red Bridge beer, which is one of my favorites. I’ve eating here three time and haven’t gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

The staff was great in regards to making me feel like my food was safe and the service was exceptional overall. We had the gluten free crab dip and I had the scallops and a few sides for dinner. The food was great and it was a wonderful experience overall.

Great food, atmosphere was awesome and waitstaff was phenomenal! Went for brunch and then back for dinner bc I had trouble finding other gf options!

I always feel safe eating here! Brunch is always wonderful, and they have great options. Very accommodating and helpful.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was delicious and safe. They seemed well-informed about CC, etc. I had a salad, and it came on a differently shaped and designed plate than the plate my mother’s regular salad came on. They also carried my food out separately, which always puts my mind at ease.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was GF knowledgeable and checked on all the items I ordered since I have other intolerances as well. Did not ask about GF bread since most breads I can’t eat. Everything was checked and food came out as expected, it was very good.

gluten free menu! wonderful options.

Nice gluten free menu. I had the cold lobster salad on a gluten free bun with dedicated fryolator French fries. All very good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Went for dinner - excellent experience. Separate gluten free menu with many options. Kids menu was also clearly marked with gluten free options. Our server was knowledgeable about cross contamination. Separate fryers- I NIMA tested multiple items and all came back gluten free. Food was excellent. Will definitely be back .

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Server said the only item with gluten they have that is fried is donuts for dessert. The donuts have their own fryer according to the server. Dedicated separate gf menu. UDIs bread used. Knowledgeable staff.

Very good Pub in downtown Boston. Dedicated fryer, great salads, burgers, entrees. Chef good at modifications. Extensive wine list. Good pick in a fix in downtown Boston.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu stating they have fried food! They don’t have a gluten free Fryolator. I don’t understand why it’s has such great reviews. BECAREFUL

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve been here a number of times before and usually have had a positive experience. I returned last night and told the waiter I had celiac disease before I ordered some French fries. He came back to tell me that they had gotten busy so started using their dedicated fryer to fry foods containing gluten, but the chef said it should still probably be okay. I told him it was not okay as cross contamination is a huge issue and canceled my order. I’m disappointed that they compromised a safe gluten free environment for the sake of time.

Celiac friendly?

No

Lots of gluten free items on the menu. Hot or cold lobster rolls on gf bun. Dedicated fryer also. My vegan friends found some yummy options as well. Nice wine selection.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was great! The food was top quality with many gluten free options. The hot lobster roll was amazing! There was live music as well which was very enjoyable. Service was friendly and fast. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Boston!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating of gluten restrictions relating to Celiac. Manager delivered appetizers and made sure to mention they were gluten free. They have a separate fryer and the wings are delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really friendly staff. I’m grateful because they had a busy morning and told me they felt uncomfortable about one item - it showed the really paid attention. Great meal!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

HOLY SMOKES THIS PLACE WAS FANTASTIC! It was the first restaurant we tried in Boston and it was so good we went back for lunch the next day! The warm lobster roll was delicious- the bread was incredibly soft and the lobster was so fresh. The french fries were phenomenal and I fell in love with the house pickles. But what really made this experience next-level is that as I ordered off the gluten-free menu the waitress asked "is that preference or an allergy?" They did this each of the times we were there, and as a Celiac it completely put my mind at ease. A fantastic experience all the way around.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best GF burger and fries I've EVER HAD. Grilled buns, well-cooked fries, cider on tap. Go here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent choices for kids gf. Burger and cheese platter with crackers delicious! French fries are gf.

GF buns available for lobster roll and said fries were fried in separate fryer. I really enjoyed it and the service at the bar was great.

Drinks: had Redbridge bottles available when I went. Also had a few ciders available in addition to wine and liquor.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had.. and the polenta fries were amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Plenty of delicious gf options with delicious food.

Good gluten free items on the menu. I had a lobster roll with gluten free bread and fries with a gluten free cider on tap!

The bathrooms are pretty luxurious as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A few good brunch options, but service was terrible. Mostly meat or shellfish, but they did have gluten free bread. I had the breakfast sandwich without bread or cheese. The waiter was so inattentive I was worried, but I didn't get sick.

Great experience! The gf menu had so many offerings that it was hard to choose- not my usual situation! The potatoes au gratin are amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We went for dinner on a Friday night. If you want a loud happening place go here. We were hoping for something a bit quieter. They lost out reservation but found us a table in about 10 mins. I had the polenta fries which were great and a steak with gratin potatoes and mushrooms. The steak was huge, potatoes good but the mushrooms had absolutely no flavor. Drinks were really overpriced in my opinion. Overall ok but not with what we paid.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband surprised me with lunch in this restaurant a couple of weeks ago to celebrate my promotion at work and it was one of the best gluten free meals I have had since being diagnosed with celiac since 2007! First of, they have a gluten free menu and not just their regular menu minus the meals with pasta/bread. It's actually quite opposite. It also includes the burgers/sandwiches with gluten free buns. I had the Chilled lobster roll and it was to die for. My husband had the Creamy carnaroli risotto which I also tried and we both thought it was cooked wonderful. Very happy to have found this place.

Great food and service. Large gf menu and knowledgeable staff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf menu with wide selection. Separate fryer. No gf beer but a few ciders. We asked our hotel for a bar/restaurant that was gf and that would have on a hockey game-this hot both!

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Portions were great and the food was amazing. So good. Even bought pint glasses so we can always remember or great experience!

Really enjoyed my meal here! Lots of great options, and terrific atmosphere/service. When next in Boston, will stop by

We visited on a Sunday of a holiday weekend. Our server was very knowledgeable about Celiac disease & cross contamination & warned us that when it gets busy the kitchen will use the "dedicated" fryer for everything so he didn't feel comfortable saying the fries, wings or anything fried on the gluten free menu was truly safe. We did have delicious salmon, cod & daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger. There were no GF desserts & our server informed us he had checked with the chef & none of the sorbets or ice creams were gluten free for celiac. I first have 4 stars instead of 5 because of my disappointment about the fryer & dessert situation but changed to 5 star because everything was fresh, flavorful & it is truly valuable to have a server who takes Celiac & gluten free concerns seriously so you can eat without any worries.
