Buckalew's Restaurant & Tavern

The menu has labeled gluten free options but beware because they have dumplings labeled GF, I got excited and asked the waiter to double check and he said never mind they aren’t gluten free. But I’ve had their sushi and pizza and it has all been great and haven’t gotten sick! Their clam chowder soup is very good too!

Our waitress was so incredibly nice and helpful. She answered all of our questions and made sure all my food was Gluten Free.

They don't have a ton of options, but their salad and pizza is top notch. The creamy Italian dressing on the house salad is to die for. There are multiple pizza options and you can also build your own with custom toppings.

The pizza is cooked on it's own pan which is dedicated gluten free. The pizza is normally cooked in the same oven as regular pizza, but they spread them out very far. The waitress also told me that most of the time they only make 1 pizza at a time anyway so it'll probably be alone in the oven. I felt totally fine with this, but your opinion may vary.

OMG! This place is amazing!!! The ambience was so comforting w the best music playing in the background. Had the GF pizza....it was the absolute BEST GF pizza I’ve EVER had!!!! You gotta try it!’nnn

Always loved the place and loved the menu, I am one year into my celiac diagnosis and am very hesitant to eat out due to cross contamination. I read the reviews and another celiac friend told me that their pizza was good, so I got one for lunch today and did it take out. I’m extremely sensitive and wound up reacting to must’ve been cross contamination somewhere. I can ever change that with a gluten-free pizza from there again. Love the place, I don’t think they always take it seriously enough when you mentioned that you have celiac disease.

Had the gluten free pizza and sushi with gluten free soy sauce. Pizza was typical gf pizza but the sushi was great. Bottles of wine are really cheap!

Delicious GF pizza. Large size pie. Loved the decor and ambiance of the tavern. Only gave 4 stars because they didn’t have a lot of GF menu options, outside of salad, pizza, clam chowder and one or two fish dishes. But the GF pizza was one of the best pizzas that I have had!

Had GF designation on the menu— including Manhattan Clam Chowder, salads, and fish (including sushi). Also have cider on tap.

Everyone was knowledgeable from the hostess to the wait staff, who talk to the chef before each order. Been 3x this season and didn't get sick with multiple allergies

Asked if there was a separate fryer - they do no have one, do not have gluten free buns, can get pizza or salad or fish. Not great for a teenage boy

Got the blackened tuna with coconut rice and green beans and loved it! Couldn't have the glaze/sauce but it was great without it. Great gf cider too. My celiac mom got the gluten free pizza and it was definitely one of the better ones I've had.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pizza was great. Didn't feel any side effects after eating. And sushi is great! Individual packets of GF soy sauce

This restaurant does not deserve to be acknowledged on this app as having safe gluten free options for people with celiac's disease. The wait staff was not knowledgeable and served the wrong pizza to my son, even after our party reminded and questioned all 4 people who were serving our party. during the last 10 years of my children being diagnosed, nothing like this has ever happened at a restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

No

Excellent GF pizza. Menu has a few GF entrees although there are many GF options. Clam chowder was really good
