I had the GF biscuits with pork. I swapped the hot honey for regular because I have GERD on top of celiac. The options are as extensive as any place with a GF options (not a ton of choices but more than none) I had a burger with a salad. All good. Honestly the salad dressing was the absolute best I could drink it

Staff is very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten intolerance. They understand about shared fryers and cross contamination. Lots of options to choose from. Supposedly, the chef is celiac.

Stellar quality food with gf available menu items clearly marked. I really respect the allergy awareness this place has. I got the grain bowl with salmon and was overjoyed at having healthy dressing (emulsified olive oil & vinegar with spices). Gluten free brownies were available for dessert as well - really grateful for the high quality ingredients and the transparency.

EDIT:
I went back this week and it’s still great. I ordered GF and they asked if it was for Celiac or not & had further recommendations to avoid CC

The food here was absolutely fabulous!! Lots of GF options. We had the pork belly for an app.. I got the shrimp and grits and hubby got the waffles with pulled pork. Everything was delicious! I will say they don’t have a dedicated fryer so some of their “GF” things are fried and therefore not safe for a celiac like myself. But after telling my waiter I was celiac he told me what to not order that was fried.

Restaurant is very cute with indoor and outdoor seating. Extremely clean with good service. When I asked about gf I was told the chef has celiac. I had very high expectations for a gf Cuban sandwich but unfortunately I didn’t read the description carefully and was disappointed. My fault. The taste was good but definitely not a Cuban. It was served on Udi’s bread which immediately fell apart when I tried to pick it up. The caramel brownie is served warm with caramel drizzle and whipped cream. That was a real winner!

Went here on our last night in St. Augustine and we definitely saved the best for last! The Floridian offers so many tasty GF options. Everything with ** beside it could be made or modified to GF. Our waiter was excellent and was up front about cross contamination. He said there’s no dedicated fryer and told me things to avoid since I’m sensitive. I safely had the biscuit dish and the waffle dish! Couldn’t decide between which one so ordered both and took home leftovers!! SO GOOD. I did not get sick and really enjoyed the food and our experience. It was a slow night, so we enjoyed the patio to ourselves. Totally recommend!

Excellent food with clear markings on the menu. Staff is highly trained and even asked if I was celiac before I had a chance to tell them. Played it safe with the Beet and Berry salad. So delicious and totally safe!

I felt very comfortable eating here. The online menu specifically mentions Celiac which I rarely see. The menu at the restaurant does not have the same note but I was prepared with my usual explanation and questions. Our waitress was very good and let me know that they do not have a dedicated fryer so I would need to stay away from anything fried. I had the grits with shrimp and it was delicious!

Ok- so A LOT of the items on the menu are marked gluten free BUT that does not mean they are not exposed to cross contamination (which in my opinion means these items shouldn’t be listed as gf). If the item is fried then it is exposed to gluten because they use a shared fryer. Make sure you let you waiter/ess know you’re dining GF. We ended up getting the “biscuit & belly” as an app, which was VERY tasty. (We were planning on the “chips & dips“ but had to pass bc of the fryer situation.) And I got the shrimp n grits for my entree. It was good.

Fantastic experience at the Floridian. Lauren was an excellent waitress, very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was excellent. Four diners, two of which were gluten free both gf meals were great. Two non gf meals were enjoyed tremendously. Pulled pork and waffles was awesome. Wish I was staying longer in St. Augustine so I could come back. No stomach or intestinal trauma at all!!!

This sparkling gem of a restaurant was everything the reviews promised it would be. Creative, fresh, delicious dishes and many gluten free. I was shocked and very pleased about the shrimp and sausage pilau with gluten-free biscuit, the gluten-free waffles with pulled pork and several other choices. We sat at the bar, which we prefer, since the service is usually great. Our bartender was so attentive and knew the menu inside out. Can’t say enough good things about this place, including the Old Florida vibe and a decor. Great location in old town Saint Augustine.

I ordered the GF without the Ricotta cheese. It came with it. The waitress argued with me that I’m not allergic if I can have the milk the waffles are made with. I asked them to make a smaller quarter waffle since I was sharing the dish and they aren’t allergic. The waitress was extremely rude after that. Didn’t come back. Came one time to ask us if we needed anything and walked away, not waiting for an answer. Brought us the bill. I will not go back as the service was horrible. The food was also very salty.

Fantastic gem in downtown St. Augustine. No dedicated flyer, GF marked on the menu with two **. MANY options to choose from!! We ordered chicken & waffles (is fried in non dedicated fryer which I do ok with, waffles are all GF according to server) and the shrimp & sausage. All was amazing!! They had a GF dessert offering and several appetizers as well but I couldn’t eat it all!

The best gluten and dairy free choices I have had since I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago. My waiter was excellent and so helpful. I had soup and the chicken curry minus the cashews, which was excellent. I wish I had a restaurant like this near me 💗

The stars are incorrect. I give this one star. I had the citrus salad and was badly glutened. This has been my favorite restaurant, but it is no longer safe to eat at. I question the cleanliness too as my daughter had two long hairs in her food. Sadly, I won’t risk this restaurant again and could not recommend it after The last experience.

Excellent!! I got the n waffles which were so good! Also had the dips and chips. While the chips are made in the same fryer as everything, they bring out fresh veggies! The Garden Gimlet is an amazing drink! We ate here twice during our stay.

I was a bit disappointed at first. After looking at the menu i got very excited they had so many GF options but when i arrived and starting asking questions they don’t have a dedicated fryer so a lot of the menu is gluten friendly and not celiac safe. So that was a bit of a bummer, but after i got over that the food that was celiac safe was delicious! Waiter was very knowledgeable about celiac and able to inform me of my options. Had GF biscuits that were amazing! (Can order just the biscuits!)

Food was eh. On the plus side, I had a great GF beer- Green’s Amber Ale. The salad dressing (rosemary Dijon) was also really good. The Cuban was underwhelming. It was served on Udi’s bread and didn’t really have much flavor. My hubby had the bahn mi (not gf) and it was OK, not amazing. Field pea soup was very good,. Overall, felt safe and didn’t get sick but food wasn’t that good.

This was one of the best restaurants I have been to. All of the food options are amazing and they are very understanding of celiacs. The only thing that isn’t celiac friendly is the fried food as it is not a dedicated fryer. The gluten free desert is also amazing and not the typical options.

I was so excited to try food from The Floridian from my recent trip to St. Augustine and I was a little underwhelmed. We ordered delivery, and the orders were not received accurately which was a bit of a bummer. I tried the N’waffles, and it was good, but not 5 star worthy in my opinion. The biscuits were very good though!

We had the biscuit & belly as an app and it was amazing. Cooked perfectly and a prime piece of meat, not greasy either. The GF biscuits were excellent. Although dense, it was soft and had that buttermilk taste that brings you back to your youth. The bourbon peach, honey, and Moo’s cheese paired fairly nice. Well done, Floridian. For our main, we shared the shrimp tacos. Generous portion and superior taste. The shrimp had a delicious marinade that wasn’t over powered by the pickled watermelon rind, cilantro, red onion, and Datil sauce. Lastly, we had the brownie for dessert. It was moist and flavorful. Definitely would return. Zero negative reaction.
