WARNING! Not sure what happened to this place but when we went this morning, they had a very tiny menu and did not have chicken and waffles. They were able to accommodate us and I had at least one option. They told me they would try to bring the chicken and waffles back, but I don’t know if it will be the same. Will update when they get things figured out.

I can’t say enough amazing things about the place and the staff. The staff are absolutely lovely and even though they were slammed Memorial Day, still managed to seat my party of two at the bar and take wonderful care of us. They have gluten free chicken and waffles ya’all and gluten free French toast that tastes like carrot cake and gluten free latkes which were little cubes of potato heaven. I can’t wait to work my way through the entire menu.

The owner has celiacs so staff was very knowledgeable about cross contamination. All the waffles are GF and i would definitely recommend the chicken and waffles! SO good!!

Been here three times now and still no reaction. Always stop here on our way from traveling. Very close to major highway. Picked up takeout this time. They packed up all GF items in separate bag and marked very clearly each item.

There are many GF items to choose from. The owner has celiac so they have separate cooking pans etc for GF. They served the drinks in paper straws which I was assured was 100% GF. Ordered a burger on a GF roll, fried, latkes, fried chicken bites, and waffles. All were delicious. The burger tasted flamed broiled. Best restaurant I've been to in a long time. Didn't get sick at all

Absolutely LOVEEEE this spot! Been twice and can’t wait to go again. Amazing range of GF options and learned that the owner of Love Bites has celiac. They are extremely cognizant of cross contamination, have a clearly labeled menu, and tons of deliciously safe options for everyone. If you’re in Saugerties, this should definitely be a brunch stop.

So good we came back the next day again. Really tasty food and quite safe. The Harvest sandwich was excellent. The special lemon feta fries were something really unique and delicious.

We went for breakfast on Sunday and all the food was incredibly delicious! I felt very comfortable because the server was very knowledgeable, told us that everything GF is made separately etc to avoid cross contamination before I even asked. The waffle was so good our toddler ate half of it so we’re planning on coming back for lunch tomorrow

Stopped for a late lunch today and couldn’t believe the variety of gf options on the menu. Most items on the menu are gluten free but all items can be made gf on request. The owner has celiac so everyone is extremely knowledgeable. I had the Chicken & Waffles. OUTSTANDING! Service was excellent prices were very reasonable. I will travel the 90 minute journey to go back! Highly recommend

We had breakfast and it was amazing. The waffles were top notch. If you're in the area stop by and grab food. They have chicken and waffles. The place is also super cute.

The crab cake I had was so good! I don’t usually see gluten free crab cakes on menus and was super happy with the flavor. Definitely will be back.

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat. They were very knowledgeable about my food sensitivities bc I have more than gluten issues. Staff was great, food delicious and I would definitely come back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I was so excited. First they had gluten free waffles and fried chicken which was awesome and the hash bowl was amazing!!! I cant wait to visit again.

I couldn't believe that I could actually have a Belgian Waffle at a restaurant. It was the best belgian waffle I have EVER had. I "built" my own omelette and actually had potato latkes!! I would never have risked eating the latkes and waffle but the server assured me I had nothing to worry about and that the owner had celiac. The coffee was amazing too. My non-celiac friend and I are returning next week because we can't get this breakfast that we had out of our minds and I live in Canada and she lives in NJ. Dine with confidence at Love Bites.
