I was visiting in Atlanta and found this place on the app. Very cute marketplace area. It’s a walk up with a tablet to place your order. Everything was explained well and very easy to understand. The menu was clearly marked. I got a build your own bowl with shredded chicken, which was delicious. Lots of food at a reasonable price for what you get. I felt very safe as this was reported to be a strictly gluten-free facility. Would definitely recommend and will go back next time I am in the area.

Really great! The prices are a bit steep if you make your own bowl, but it’s healthy and delicious. I’m incredibly sensitive and have no issues. Also avoid dairy and oats. Everything is very clearly labeled. Food is fresh and a bonus, my kids like it! Really appreciate the dedicated gluten free kitchen!

Fresh, delicious foods! You can customize your “bowl”, adding on or taking off ingredients to fit YOUR dietary needs & restrictions. I added Kale, Beets, Chicken and took off Rice, Corn…

This place is AWESOME! I am celiac and have a dairy and egg allergy and was totally safe eating here. I ordered the Notorious PIG and it was wonderful. Very flavorful, tons of food. You won't be hungry. They were very thoughtful of my allergies and celiac, even asking if I had an issue with fish sauce. I wish we had one back home.

My go-to restaurant in Atlanta! Everything is gluten free and all other dietary restrictions/allergies are clearly marked on the menu. My meals here have all been delicious, I highly recommend.

How amazing to show up to a marketplace area like that, pull open the FMGF app and discover a 100% gluten free restaurant was a few steps away. My daughter and I split a Caesar salad and the sweet potato fries. Both very good! Turns out Jeni's ice cream right across from them has GF ice cream! I'll be adding a review to get them on the FMGF app too!

The food was fantastic! I always love a dedicated place, makes me feel “normal” not having to ask a million questions. I ordered the Don Diego which was delicious and the loaded sweet potatoes were incredible. I wish we lived closer but it’s great for when we are in the area!

Online I saw mixed answers if they are gf. Looks like they weren't always. I called (this location atleast) and they confirmed 100% gf! No more sandwiches

Loved the bowls, and had to go back for the loaded fries and brussels sprouts, which were in fact life changing! We always appreciate a great tasting dedicated gf restaurant, and this did the trick!

I went here not realizing it was dedicated GF. I am also DF and everything by was clearly marked. What a relief to be be able to choose just about anything off the menu (not everything is DF.) Delicious bowls. And fast food prep. My only complaint is the chicken is shredded instead of cubed or sliced. But I will definitely be back.

Yummy! It’s like if cava and chipotle had a baby. A little pricey, adding meat costs extra. I got the Don Diego and added shredded chicken.

this place is so good. i was a little hesitant at first flavor wise because "healthy" gluten free foods tend to be bland, but the bowls taste amazing. ended up getting two bowls.
Owner Response
Thank you for coming by. Glad you could enjoy two bowls without sacrificing flavor!

The food here was amazing and the service was incredible. They just switched to be dedicated GF kitchen. They had lots of veggie and vegan options. I had the Notorious PIG with added chicken. Amazing flavor combination with the bacon jam, greens, shredded chicken and flavored brown rice. Highly recommend.

Amazing, everything is gluten free. Made me very happy to be able to eat with freedom.
SO GOOD! Right inside Krog market - I got the brussel sprout appetizer (which is HUGE) and was interesting but not the best. But the Don Diego bowl (no tortilla strips - they’re corn and GF but made in a facility that handles a lot of wheat) was to DIE for. So yummy and no reaction!
I had the new Don Diego bowl. It was delicious and I would highly recommend.
I’ve been eating their grain bowls regularly (my favorite is the Super Bowl) since they opened a couple of years ago and I’ve never gotten sick. The food is so good and the staff is super knowledgeable. I recommend their sister restaurant Bar Mercado as well.
Almost all the things on the menu can be made gluten free if they aren’t already. Gluten free bread option for the sandwiches also.
