Honest Biscuits

Delicious GF fried chicken and biscuit. I DO have Celiac and can have a strong sensitivity to gluten exposure and can report after 3 hours of enjoying this meal I have had no reaction. As noted in other reviews, I would like to note that the store the Gf biscuits below other biscuits but when I mentioned this, the team member kindly provided me a fresh biscuit. Cross contamination could be an issue here as a heads up!!

The chef was so kind and knowledgeable about gluten. A true southern chef and owner. GF items are baked early in the morning before other items and carefully handled. We enjoyed the crab melt and fried chicken so much the first day that we came back a second day for breakfast. Amazing quality and so many GF options. Pimento cheese and grits for sides- delicious!

Do not eat here if you're celiac. The gf biscuits are on the top rack and close to the gluten containing items. There is airborne flour. I took a risk despite the obvious and have been sick all day because of it.

I was super nervous eating here. They make the regular biscuits RIGHT NEXT to the prep area, including adding and mixing wheat flour. I would just assume a high chance of some cross contamination.

However, my Celiac son (highly sensitive) had the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. He did not get sick and said it was good enough to eat again.

I’m Celiac’s as well and had the ham sandwich. The biscuit was delicious. The ham was okay.

My two other children had the fried chicken biscuit sandwich. They both agreed the biscuit was good, but the chicken was greasy.

Overall, I’m not sure I would eat here again. It was fairly expensive, and the food was good, but not excellent. The risk of cross contamination is too great for me.

SO SO SO good! While there may be a slight possibility of a cross contamination, I did not get sick in the slightest, and I am quite sensitive. GO HERE!

Pretty good! Haven’t had the luxury (except maybe once or twice) to have gf biscuits. Visited for vacation and part of our group got Biscuit Bitch but was very happy there was a gf alternative for me!

Amazing, had the gluten free biscuit with fried chicken and fresh pickles. Super tasty and great location.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the first time I’ve ever had a gluten free biscuit and it was amazing! What they don’t advertise is that all the toppings are gluten free, including the fried chicken! They took a lot of precautions to make sure it was gluten free and I had no issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I took a chance here based on other reviews. Explained in detail about how careful they need to be not to cross contaminate. I had a bad feeling watching them prep the food with so much flour everywhere. They assured me it would be fine because they make all the GF foods each morning before all the gluten foods, they have a separate toaster, tongs, etc. My food was delicious but it definitely was cross contaminated and I got very sick - definitely glutened. Unfortunately this was on my anniversary trip with my husband and we had to go home early because I felt so terrible. If you have Celiac, do not go here.

Celiac friendly?

No

I wonder if the GF safety here depends on who is working that day. I recommend asking the person who takes your order to verify how much they care/know about celiac.

The server told me today that they make the GF biscuits as the first batch every morning to limit cross contamination. He says they change their gloves and have a separate knife and pans for the GF orders.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Based on previous reviews, I was excited to try Honest Biscuits. However, I was sadly disappointed. First off, the gluten free biscuits were in the same display case, not separated from all the other gluten full biscuits, and actually on a lower shelf, so crumbs from above can contaminate the gf biscuits below. Secondly, when the gf biscuits were taken from the display case, they touched and made contact with the other biscuits. I watched them prepare a gf order in the very small prep area, with only one small toaster/pizza oven for heating up all orders. They never changed gloves, and when I asked about their gf food, they didn’t really seem to care. The whole thing was scary to me, so I didn’t order anything, and would highly recommend that fellow celiacs don’t either. Very unsafe.

No

Moist, fluffy, heavenly clouds of yummy biscuit goodness. I can't say enough how things about this place! I usually get a sandwich and an extra biscuit for later. I've never had a reaction to any of the good and I'm very sensitive to cross contamination

My celiac daughter ate here twice while we were in Seattle without any problems. She loved the gluten free biscuit sandwiches! Their none gluten free food is delicious too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Are you serious these are GF! Best biscuit I’ve ever had! Unless you are vegan I’d avoid the lentil gravy. Just my thoughts, not very breakfast like.

Staff was very knowledgeable about gf options and cc. If requested, they’ll wrap both the top and bottom of the biscuit in foil as it passes through the conveyor and change gloves to avoid cc. Got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit and it was AMAZING! No issues afterwards and if it wasn’t my last day here, I’d have gone again! The location definitely has moved up to the new waterfront area on the northwest side of pikes place (essentially, behind the artist/homemade goods area, and down the stairs)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a delicious gf biscuit with AMAZING jam! Would have loved to have it warmed up but it wouldn’t have been separate from the regular biscuits. I have celiac and didn’t have any issues.

Best GF biscuit I’ve ever tasted! I’m celiac and didn’t get sick, but the kitchen is very small and cross contamination is highly likely.

On my second visit to Seattle from the reviews I I knew I needed to find this place. It was right down on water by Pikes Place Market. I had a breakfast sandwich on the gf biscuit. It was WONDERFUL!! I got two biscuits to go with jelly for the next two days!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best GF Biscuits anywhere and they ship across the country

Celiac friendly?

This biscuit is a religious experience. Seriously. The address on the app is wrong, though. They are in the same space as Old Stove Brewery. So far, this is the best part of Seattle!

Very, very good, and they take precautions like changing gloves and toasting the biscuit on foil. I've never had an issue eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF bacon egg and cheese is on point. Best GF biscuit I’ve had to date! Super tasty and decent portion.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The best gluten free biscuit I have ever had. My non gluten free girlfriend liked it better than the gluten filled biscuits. Definitely will be back to try the crab biscuit sandwich since they were out of crab when I went.

So good! Make sure you go earlier in the day. When they run out of gf they are gone. I felt like the lentil gravy was too much gravy that I couldn’t taste the biscuit so I would ask for half.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Holy mother of god are these good!!

I watched the fella closely as he made it and all precautions were made as to not have any cc.

Foil on bottom of toaster... separate knives etc. etc.

Had the GF biscuit with butter and jam. Delicious!

Different location!!! They moved! Go the art area of Pike Place market, outside to “extension market” behind original market and down to first floor. It faces the water on bottom floor and it is worth the effort as they have excellent cross contamination avoidance procedures for their warm, buttery, delicious GF biscuits!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So yummy!! If your craving a delicious biscuit this is the place. My boyfriend has Celiac and he never gotten sick.

They bake the GF biscuits in the morning, before the gluten biscuits in separate pans. But my daughter got sick regardless. If you’re not super sensitive to cross contamination it may be ok.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very disappointed, no gluten free biscuits. Make a small number in the morning, sold out.

Really great biscuit sandwiches on gluten-free biscuits. They use local cheese and sausage, too. I had the crab melt, which I would 100% eat again. They even have gluten-free biscuits and gravy. Sadly it’s also vegan, so it’s lentils instead of sausage (which I can’t eat). But I’d say a large percentage of their menu is gf (eggs, meats, veggies, cheeses).

These biscuits were truly amazing. Had Dungeness crab and cheddar on my biscuit. Sounds like weird combination, but it wasn’t. The biscuit is huge and soft and fluffy. With the warm crab and cheddar, it was really really good. Nice view of the ocean to. Real relaxing atmosphere.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very tasty GF biscuits. We were there at noon and got the last two, so they definitely do run short on them. They sell the mix too, which I’m hoping is as good as the ones they make,

GF biscuit with honey and butter was great!

Delicious GF buttermilk biscuit breakfast sandwhich and grits. Though they take measures to avoid cross contamination, I would not recommend for those with Celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

Fantastic biscuit sandwich. Loved it more than Biscuit Bitch.

Very tasty GF biscuits but be aware there is cross contamination

My friend tells me that the food is delicious, however I give it a 1 star because they never ever have gluten free available. I've gone there 5 times at various times to be told "we're out".

If you're hungry, don't count on this restaurant!

Wow just wow. Light and fluffy. So so good
