Food was good, atmosphere was fun, the waitress was very helpful with gluten free and was able to get answers to all questions. Helped that I knew what to ask as I did have to guide the conversation to specific parts of the dish. But overall good!

They sent a manager over to discuss my options. He told me I could get pretty much everything on the menu. He didn’t seem to have much knowledge.

My son and I have a gluten allergy - in our party of 10. They sent out a manger who knew nothing about gluten. She was not helpful and didn’t seem to care that the options on the menu are very limited for a gluten free diet. Food is very over priced for the quality- 30 dollars per entree. Very dissatisfied with the food and the limited GF options. You are paying for the cheesy decorations which we found to be tasteless. There are much better choices on the island for GF - Doc Fords is one.

The adult meal was "fair" but still overpriced.

Once I explained I was celiac and not just “someone who has a mild intolerance” *insert eye roll* waiter was helpful. Ordered the “Putin’ On the Ritz” which was balsamic chicken with tomato, mozerella and pesto with a twice baked potato and veggies. So far no reaction.

No appetizer options nor desserts that are gluten free.

No gf menu, but manager was able to speak to which items could be made gfree. Spoke very very quickly, hard to follow. Very tasty salad and entree. No gfree desserts; we were sad after reading other reviews that raves about them. No gfree bread.

The Bubble Room is a must visit when on the islands here. No they do not have a GF menu but the wait staff is very knowledgeable on what you can chose on the menu and bring over a manager to verify and help ensure there is no cross contamination. Bubble Room does offer GF bun options as well.

We went for lunch so sandwiches and salads were the choices. Good gf bread for sandwiches. You have to call ahead to see if they are making gf desserts that day. They had the most amazing gf chocolate cupcakes ever!!!! The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because fries and chips don't have their own fryer so we couldn't eat them.

They are known throughout the islands for their beautiful desserts, however they only have a gluten free cupcake (that isn't dairy free or rice free). We found this place to be overpriced and underwhelming. (Think plain chicken and broccoli).

Most horrible experience. We have a 7 year old with severe Celiac. We called twice to confirm there were options and was told the General Mgr's daughter had it so there was plenty. We go for my husbands 50th birthday. We arrive ask again BEFORE we sit down and assured again. Once we settle in she could only choose from grilled meats and salads - no buns!!! We rally through that to assure her dessert would make it worth it just to find out they are out of all gluten free desserts. We were livid and they were less than sympathetic. Awful environment for Gluten free and in my opinion even worse customer experience. Will never go back. Not worth the price of admission.

There is no gluten free menu hostess says the waiter can help you pick a gf option. Restaurant is an old house full of circus and Christmas memorabilia. Very strange run down, dirty environment. Left after being seated. Might have gluten free options but I'd be afraid to see the kitchen. But if you know someone with a clown phobia don't pass it up!

Impressed by the amount of gluten free items they have on their menu, we went for lunch and I could have nearly everything on their menu. The food was fantastic, they even have gluten free buns!!! I was bummed when I first walked in and seen all of their desserts (that's what they are famous for) and I could not have any. However, when the bubble scout brought out the dessert tray I was informed they have 3 gluten, dairy and nut free cupcakes to choose from the same flavors as the regular cake (orange crunch, red velvet and death by chocolate). They were hands down the best desserts I have every had. Thank You Bubble Room!!!!!!!
