Harvard Gardens

Got glutened :(

Ordered a burger and broccolini. Probably from their toasting the bun or something. I did give the waiter my whole celiac spiel. She was very apologetic about it and did comp the burger.

Bun wasn't very good either

They do have a GF menu which was impressive as a celiac, but there were litterally 2 options: a salad & a burger on a classic/very recognizably-crumbly Udis bun with asparagus. If you have to go out to eat, it's not the worst, but the variety was struggling

Ordered a gluten free veggie burger off the gluten free menu. My friend ordered a gluten free cheeseburger. My order came out and was not on a gluten free bun. They switched the bun and tried to serve me the contaminated burger. When I questioned it they made me a whole new meal. However, I was not even halfway through the meal and was having a reaction. It’s really unfortunate since I live in the area and was hoping this could be a go-to place for dinner with friends.

Ordered tuna poke on the “gf menu” and they brought it out with soy sauce and seaweed salad. Had to explain to them that soy sauce is not gluten free. Not confident about their knowledge and practices.

Came here recently for a birthday brunch, and despite the fact that we were a whopping 17 person party, they still took good care that I and my one other present celiac friend were taken proper care of. I got a chicken sandwich on a GF bun and my friend got a breakfast sandwich on a GF English muffin. We were both happy and did not get sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best French Onion soup I have ever had. Topped off with a great apple cider cocktail.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food. My boyfriend and I shared the tomato soup, veggie burger, and an omelette. The server understood celiac disease. The burger came out with chips, which, once I asked, were not gluten free. Our server took the plate back and was very apologetic, and returned pretty quickly with a new meal (clearly an entirely new dish and new burger). The staff felt so bad, and gave us a gift card and free dessert (that GF brownie is amazing!) I didn’t get sick, we both left full and very satisfied, and the staff went above and beyond to remedy their mistake. Considering their generosity, I can’t imagine they make that mistake often. As always, be vigilant. You may also want to ask that only your server and the kitchen staff handle your order. We had another server bring out our food, so there may have been a miscommunication.

My husband and I went here for lunch today after being at the state building. I'm GF, he's not. I had the Beacon Hill Cheese burger on a GF bun which was juicy and delicious! Will definitely be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was great with accommodating celiacs and recommendations! Great burger on a gluten free bun ( the best I’ve found in Boston!) and amazing flavor on the new potatoes! Definitely a hit and no reaction as I’m highly sensitive. We will be back!

**Edit: had dinner here a second time and it was even better than the first! The staff is knowledgeable, food is great, atmosphere is wonderful and the best part is no reaction either time I’ve been here! Its now a go to spot!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic food. The manager and chef were extremely accommodating to my allergy and even offered to bake the home fries (they usually fry them in a shared fryer).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything was really tasty! The staff was knowledgeable about CC and GF options. They offer gF buns and English muffins. We went for brunch and it was delicious! I felt great afterwards so no issues of CC.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had an excellent GF pulled pork sandwich. Separate GF menu, rather than simply noted on main menu, but the list of GF dishes is fairly extensive. I could barely choose what to order because it all looked so good, rather than feeling bored and hemmed in by a short list of GF options, like I do quite often! Pub-like atmosphere that is also family friendly.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My 11 yr old son has celiac and we had a great brunch together. Staff was very knowledgeable. My son is very sensitive and he ate eggs, bacon and English muffin. Dedicated kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My grown sons and I are all Celiacs. We visited Harvard Gardens for lunch while in Boston. The guys had different types of burgers and I had a chicken sandwich. The gluten free buns were good (for g free buns! 🤣). A few choices for sides - the guys ordered potatoes and I had a delicious salad. The staff seemed on it and there wasn’t any hesitation by our server. I told her right away we were Celiac and she said she often asks if it is Celiac or a dietary choice so they can take the extra precautions if need be. We felt comfortable and are feeling ok.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have celiac disease and never had an issue eating there! Great fun place!
