This place safety wise was good, the items are clearly marked on the menu. However, it’s a bar, which I didn’t realize. So the atmosphere was a little strange, but the food was safe and the bartenders were very kind and knowledgeable.
The food was delicious and marked appropriately. However, I did have a reaction the following day. Not severe so I can’t be for certain it was from here but honestly can’t trace it back to anything else. I would say the atmosphere is family friendly inside. Reminded me of a lot of the bars I went to in college. My family of 4 (2 teenagers) sat outside in the courtyard where it was a bit quieter. I’m the only one with issues but my son happily split the Louisiana Hot Chicken and Loaded fries with me. (Everything else we ordered was not GF) The LHC was great! The grits were amazing! The fries were WAY over seasoned but still tasty.
Great place in the French quarter! We started the night off at HH with frozen drinks, fries, chicken wings, and the Louisiana hot chicken. After a couple of bar stops we returned to end the night with the loaded Korean fries. They have dedicated fryer and the staff were kind and confident in their food safety measures when asked. Food, staff, and vibes were top tier.

Their dedicated fryer gives them the highest rating, in my opinion. I ordered fries and chicken wings, and could not have been happier! Would go back!
Charming, small and carefully. GF items are marked on the menu with a few others marked as GF with modifications. I had brussels sprouts and the tamale. Yum!
Had the burger without a bun. The menu indicates what is gluten-free and what can be prepared GF. There are only three main dishes. Indoor seating is bar or counter. We wanted a table, so we had to sit in the patio. It was pleasant and the food was good.
We actually ate here twice over our brief stay. The burger and fries were delicious both times. And I had no problem with cross-contact! The staff was great about listening and even remembered me from the day before. Would definitely eat here again!
I came here twice while in NOLA because it was soooo good and I loved the vibes here, at both the inside and outside seating. There’s a few gluten free options and they’re all so good. My favorite were the chicken wings!! Order any of the items though and you’ll love it. I also ordered an alcoholic drink and did not get sick.
So yummy! The crispy brussels sprouts alone are worth the visit. Had the Korean loaded fries and hot chicken, too. Menu is clearly marked. Plus the courtyard is beautiful.
Didn’t get sick or have a reaction.
Great food...great service and most importantly, I did not get "glutenned"! Highly recommend!
The food was good, but after I ordered, they ran out of ingredients for the chicken. It happens, but I was bummed because I was really looking forward to it. I had the burger without a bun and fries.
Good food and drinks. Separate fryer. Everything that’s breaded is made with gluten free breading regardless. Wings and fries were super good! Virgin raspberry daiquiri and Shirley temple were also good, although the cherries did taste a little thick(?) , idk they were different. Really good food, would recommend. Easy to walk past, so be on the lookout! Felt good after eating here, but do NOT, I repeat do NOT drink the tap water!! My entire group got really sick from the tap water!!
If you walk by you might just miss it… but it is a really perfect place. The gluten free fried chicken is to die for :-)
Nice atmosphere, caring staff that is knowledgeable and gluten free is clearly marked on the menu.
This was AMAZING!! They have a dedicated fryer which is awesome. We got the crispy brussel sprouts, the fries, and a burger (no gf bun but served on bed of lettuce.) Their sauces are spectacular. We really enjoyed our meal. We didnt get drinks but they seemed to be yummy as well!
Food was yummy and they had lots of options. Dedicated fryer as all the fried foods were gluten free. Had the fried chicken and Korean hot fries.
GF hot chicken was amazing. Staff very knowledgeable. Dedicated frier. Must try the Brussels sprouts they’re incredible.
Their gluten free salt and pepper wings with their gluten free French fries are to die for. I have never had the most flavorful chicken in my entire life. It was truly the best food I’ve had in New Orleans, and grateful they had such amazing gluten free options.
Delicious food! We had the fries with Korian Kimchee mayonais and the wings, both glutenfree. Very nice staff! Also great cocktails.
Got the hot chicken and it was the best meal I had in New Orleans! I asked about dedicated fryer and the bartender immediately gave me a full overview of their procedures and was really knowledgeable about cross contamination, felt very safe. FYI they did not have GF buns for the burger when I was there
I ordered the Louisiana Hot Chicken. It was amazing. Highly recommended.
Completely knowledgeable, safe and delicious. We had some fries, fried chicken and a burger… pretty decent all around. I really enjoyed their specialty cocktails too! There was one that tasted like carrot cake! Yummm
Small menu but mostly gluten free. Great food and highly recomend
This place is awesome. The menu is pretty small but almost every option on it is gluten free. I got the Korean Fries, they were so delicious and I felt completely safe eating there. The service was very good.
I was so excited to find somewhere with gf fried food! We had the Louisiana Hot Chicken and wings. It was the best food I've had in New Orleans. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!!
Probably my favourite place here. Louisiana fried chicken and grits and fries because I could! Yummy drinks, great service and a nice atmosphere to boot!
Wonderful experience. The bartender was the sweetest , very patient and informative on the menu. He assured they change gloves and also have a dedicated fryer. He explained the owners wife and children were celiac and had a whole chain of restaurants. The food was amazing. It’s been a long time since I had fried chicken wings (rice flour)! The burger was amazing and the brussels sprouts. My sisters enjoyed it as well and we hope to visit again on our trip.
Stayed on Bourbon st and looked for a place to eat that had some gluten free options. We landed here for their fries and fried chicken. Both were delicious. My daughter decided she wanted a burger- so we added that on with the gluten free bun- it was delicious. The server was aware of what was gluten free and safety precautions were followed. Would highly recommend.
Gluten free fryer! Awesome. Small menu but great and everyone knowledgeable.
Only had the charcuterie board they put the bread and crackers on the side, ask for modifications and what allergy or preference you have and they are great at accommodating, food was okay!
Awesome! Very small menu but good food and great service/atmosphere! Had the tacos and a cider!
This bar / restaurant is so good! The food is absolutely delicious and there are several gluten free choices. I love the uniqueness of their dishes and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant.
Second time being here, haven’t managed to stop in when the kitchens still open, but the drinks are great and it’s a nice spot to chill and relax.
Great food! I’ve never tasted anything similar. The salt and pepper wings were delicious!
Stopped here bc of the reviews. Ordered the GF salt and pepper double crunch wings and the Korean Hot fries. Both were delicious. Even my fiance who does not eat GF loved the wings! The crunch was so good!!!! I asked they change their gloves and the bartender relayed the message. I did not get sick that night or the next day. This is the first vacation I didn’t feel crappy
The hot chicken is delicious! The staff was so kind. We enjoyed a lovely lunch in the courtyard. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
The menu is marked with GF items, or items which can be adapted. This is by far the best meal I had in New Orleans. My husband and I shared the chicken wings, tacos and loaded fries. They were the crispiest wings I can ever remember, fries were so tasty and the tacos were just amazing. They were hot but so good. I will miss this place so much
Really quiet place with great atmosphere. It’s a bar with a great patio. Their gluten free food was really good! I got the salt and pepper wings and the fries. They clearly mark things on their menu and can answer questions. Would come back again
Had the kimchi hot fries and Louisiana hot chicken. The food was delicious and I had no reaction. Would absolutely go back.
It was so good I went twice! The Louisiana hot chicken was incredible so were the salt and pepper wings. Staff was incredible and explained everything. They even remembered me the second time I went in and knew I had an allergy restriction. I did not get sick.
GF items marked on menu; staff was very knowledgeable. Salt and pepper chicken wings and the chicken and waffles were both amazing! Highly recommend. Great drinks as well.
The staff asked if it was celiac or a preference and when I said celiac, he made sure to tell them and so they’d use the separate fryer. I got the salt n pepper wings and fries. Delicious! And no reaction.
I got the fries and wings that were marked gluten free and told them about my allergies. They seemed slightly knowledgeable but my NIMA sensor detected wheat. They said that the dedicated fryer must have been contaminated and took the food off the check since I couldn’t eat it. Great service, bad safety
I was starving and pulled up this app so decided to try this place. There was an event going on so the place was packed, felt a little silly ordering food lol, but I tried the hot chicken and a cider. It was pretty good, a little bland for New Orleans but not bad. I didn’t get sick. I really wish it wasn’t as packed as it was, I think I would have enjoyed myself more. Maybe next time!
