North Side Tavern Restaurant

The food was so good. The hot wings and French Fry's were incredible. And the apple cider mule was delicious. I have celiacs and felt totally safe here. They have a dedicated fryer. And honestly the gluten free buns were pretty damn good. The service was great and the vibe was so chill. Will for sure go here again.

A good find for safe fried GF food. They have two dedicated fryers and their GF items are marked on the menu. Wait staff was super knowledgeable. Make sure you tell them you need your food fried in the GF fryer because you have to ask for it it’s not an automatic. I got the fried pickles and fish and chips and both were really good.

Always good. Love the fried pickles but I think they’re better with ranch than the chipotle aioli. The prime rib sandwich and the shaved steak with arugula are good. The gf bread is just so-so but it’s fine. I really like coming here and will always make a stop when I’m in town

tl;dr: Good food, but the particular person who took my order was not knowledgeable about celiac disease, and I almost got glutened. (The onion rings are *not* gluten-free.)

I ordered takeout, and got the western barbecue burger. I asked while ordering if I needed to leave off the fried onions, and the person on the phone said the kitchen would know whether or not to leave them off. (This is where I messed up, I should have just said to leave them off, but the good reviews gave me a false sense of complacency.) I drove home to find out that the burger had onion rings on it and called again to ask and confirmed that they were not GF. I had to drive back to swap my burger for a safe one. The food was good, but I was surprised given the good reviews that the person answering the phone wasn’t more knowledgeable.

Excellent wait staff that is very on top of making sure everything was gluten free. The GF coconut shrimp was beyond delicious. The owner even came out to ensure me that it was all cooked appropriately. Then made sure to point out that my wife’s meal was not gluten free which we knew, but the level of detail and attention they went to was top notch. I have high confidence in Northside Tavern.

I was recent diagnosed with celiac and I wanted something deep fried so bad!! This was the first restaurant I ate at since my diagnosis and I had no reaction to the food after. The fish and chips were amazing and the server made sure the kitchen knew I had celiac. I can’t wait to go back and try their chicken wings!

Had an excellent experience. I recommend you let your server know that you are celiac. I was informed that there is a separate fryer as well as a separate cook top for gluten free orders. I had the shrimp, wedge salad and the fish fry basket and everything was delicious. I’m a sensitive celiac and had no issues. Looking forward to visiting regularly.

Ate here with my celiac wife and hyper-sensitive celiac daughter. Both had the fish and chips and the chocolate raspberry tart. Both items were excellent, but you do need to identify yourself as celiac, because they have two separate fryers. Neither had any reaction.

Holy guacamole this place kicks! The waitstaff was beyond friendly. Pam treated us like family. She was very informative on what was Gluten Free. This place blows federal bar and grill out of the water for selection and also from a pricing stand point. We had the fried pickles, queso dip with carnitas, and the fish & chips. Everything was crispy and cooked to perfection! They also have a full holidaily menu and a cider on tap. Can’t wait to return!

My husband and I split the wings and fried pickles which were both gluten free and amazing. I got a side of fries and the coconut shrimp, also both gluten free. I was super impressed and had no issues whatsoever and I’m a very sensitive celiac.

We eat here all the time, and my son with Celiac has never gotten sick. Everything GF is clearly marked on the menu and they do a great job of avoiding cross-contamination. Also, almost all breaded items are made with rice flour, so the fried pickles, for example, are GF, and are amazing. Highly recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was great, a handful of GF options on the menu. Even had a GF option too on the kids menu and the dessert menu! We were able to order an appetizer, dinner and dessert and I never got sick. Would definitely recommend checking it out!

Staff was knowledgeable and confirmed they have a dedicated fryer. I’ve just wanted a burger and fries and that is what I ordered but they had many gluten free options on the menu. Will eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Both my friend and I got very sick here. My server failed to inform me that the pulled pork was cooked in beer which I didn’t find out until the next time I went here. Good food but not worth being sick for a week

Our server was awesome!!! Took my friend that has celiac here because of the ratings and it did not disappoint. He hadn’t had fried fish in about ten years and he tried it. Loved it and of course no reaction. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for making our night.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is my new favorite. They have great GF choices and knowledgeable staff. I'm very sensitive and this place has never let me down! Highly recommend!

This is my favorite local restaurant. They are very sensitive to GF needs, and I've never gotten sick. They have GF fried pickles (!) and fish and chips, and the menu is clearly marked.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF burgers prep'd in a separate area with fries cooked in a separate fryer! We have eaten here twice now with Zero issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm posting this as a warning that the last time I ate here I got sick from my food (fish and chips). I have eaten here a few times before and not had any issues, but there was definitely gluten in my food this last time. I told the server I had celiac, ordered something specifically listed as gf on the menu, and asked them to take extra precautions with my food.

Celiac friendly?

No

Sweet and spicy Thai wings, fried pickles, fish and chips all gluten and dairy free! It was a fabulous feast!! We will return to enjoy other items on the gluten free menu :)

almost everything can be made gluten free and everything fried is rice flour! delicious fried pickles!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

amazing food, great cider options, I love this place and they are super nice and helpful with any gf needs!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Got served a regular bun while on my first day of vacation here. Had to go throw it up in the bathroom. Staff was very sorry for their mistake, but that should NOT have happened. Everything I and my friend ordered was gluten free. Anyways I would say it was a one time happening but I am too scared to return. The gluten free fried pickles and fries are great.

Good is amazing, great service. Fried pickles are a must!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place has so many options! And the food is incredible! Huge portions and a dedicated fryer. Try the fish and chips and you will not believe you are eating gluten free. Staff and management are super friendly and helpful. Had one beer that was gf, but likely because it was brewed in Colorado.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
