Mother's Restaurant

Got the jambalaya and the potato salad, no reaction (the potatoes were bland, but that might have been simply compared to the jambalaya - that was delicious with chicken and sausage and I wish I had just gotten a bigger container of that alone).

Seems like a good chance of possible cc though since everything is cooked in a small space. No issues but worth mentioning just in case.

I got glutened after eating here. I had the veggie omelet which seemed safe but they brought it out with a biscuit on the plate, which I’m sure is what caused the issue, more than the omelet. I thought it would be fine but I was pretty miserable that night.

Food is pretty good, not sure how diligent they are with GF but I had no reactions. For a place that’s pretty famous, the staff seems to have an “eat and get out” vibe. Not the type of joint you sit and enjoy the atmosphere, but the type of place you eat and go about your day. But the options are extensive and they do have mimosas and bloody Mary’s.

I got glutened.

Appreciate the attempt to mark items on the menu, but it’s a bad sign when employees don’t know the difference between vegan and GF.

Crumbs everywhere in this place. Don’t see how it could ever be safe for celiacs.

Delicious. Got the combo plate to try some of almost everything. The jambalaya was great. Shrimp Creole and red beans were good too. My husband said the crawfish étouffée was amazing (not gf). Everything is marked. Staff was helpful!

If you go at a busy time be prepared to wait in line, maybe outside, but it’s worth it.

Gluten free fries! Available all day. Dedicated frier. Had mine with a ham and egg omelet and Bloody Mary - the base is only tomato juice and spices made on site. So good.

This place was delicious! I got the combination platter with shrimp creole and cabbage. Told them I was GF due to food allergy and had no issues. If you are super sensitive to bread being in the same vicinity as your food, I would avoid this place because they have tons of French bread for the Po Boys around the food prep area.

I don't know how anyone with celiac disease feels comfortable eating here. Walked in to find a ver small kitchen. Did not feel like the place was safe do to the amount of cross contamination. No dedicated area for allergy prep. The menu even says cross contamination is completely unavailable. I would stay away from eating here, especially if you are highly sensitive.

Honestly I was scared to eat here when I walked in. I emphasized gluten allergy multiple times when ordering and was hesitant to eat my food but I feel perfectly fine and I’m usually pretty sensitive. The food was great authentic southern food and I’m just so happy I didn’t get sick. I had fries, jambalaya, and cabbage.

Walking in, I was afraid to eat here. The reviews encouraged me to go for it. The food was everything you would hope for in traditional New Orleans cuisine, and I didn’t have any reaction to the food.

Gluten free items are marked on the menu, and there’s a good portion of the menu available. I had red beans and rice and jambalaya that was absolutely to die for. Not sure if they have a dedicated fryer but fries were marked GF

Seems like a local hangout. My wife is highly sensitive to gluten and had the Jambalya with no problems. It felt a scary going in because there is a buffet looking bar where they make Po Boys but the other entrees some of which are GF items were prepared in the back. We avoided the sides.

Menu items are marked G. I had shrimp creole with green beans and turnips. Was good. Kind of hard ordering if you don’t already know what you want as you wait in line and place your order.

Menu is clearly marked and I ate here 3 times with no issues. Not sure how knowledgeable staff is, but food was delicious. I loved the red beans and rice!

The food here is so good! I was glad to be able to go somewhere and eat something that felt more like the local flair. Gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu. It isn't a dedicated cook area, but as someone with Celiac I had no problems with there food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My son did well here and we were surprised! He is celiac and had the baked ham, red beans with rice and green beans. Food was really good

Staff knowledgeable and helpful with GF selections. Had grilled shrimp, sausage, turnips, cabbage, and jambalaya. All excellent, didn’t get sick at all, no reactions. I am gluten allergic.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All their meats, their grilled seafood and many sides are GF. Their main menu is marked and the price and serving sizes can’t be beat!

Omg...got the sample plate. The shrimp creole was so wonderful in addition to everything else. Menu labeled. I felt like I could really eat normal here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Items are labeled GF, but extremely high risk for cross contamination. I ordered a salad and water to be safe and was very sick within the hour. Not safe for celiac. The wait staff were amazing, absolutely amazing, but the staff taking your order (you order when you first walk in not at your table) were rude and disrespectful.

Celiac friendly?

No

Very high risk of cross contamination in the kitchen. The staff were very rude when we asked questions and wouldn't let us speak to manager. Definitely not a celiac friendly environment.

Celiac friendly?

No

Tasty southern food! They have gluten free items marked on their menu. I ordered the red beans and rice platter with green beans, potato salad, and baked ham yesterday, and I haven’t had any breakout or stomach issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really yummy food with a side of great history to the place.

Not fancy but good tasty New Oreans food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fries were marked gluten free but I became ill.

Great ham! Easy and my non-gluten free mother said the biscuits are just like home.

Awesome food! And very accommodating for gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here is amazing, traditional Southern, comfort food. Be careful with ordering breakfast - everything comes w a non-GF biscuit. My favorite here was the jambalaya, turnip greens and grilled calamari.

Celiac friendly?

No

Use common sense and you will enjoy breakfast I had the ham and cheese omelet and grits, amazing ham

They have a gluten free menu. Told the cashier I was gluten free, a (non GF) biscuit came on my plate on my eggs. Will not return!

Celiac friendly?

No
