Gluten Free at Cooper's Hawk

I’ve successfully eaten here four times without a celiac response. The bread is quite lovely, making the chicken sandwich the best I’ve eaten in a year.

I make it a point to go to this restaurant whenever I visit the area! The GF items are clearly marked, and the servers are very knowledgeable. Our server, Jeff, clearly explained the many options and took great care to ensure no cross contamination. The GF bread was AWESOME, and my Mediterranean Shrimp Salad was flavorful and fresh. The non GF members of my party loved their Turkey Burgers and Napa Chicken Salad dishes! I always appreciate it when the server delivers my dish and reinforces the fact that my choice is GF, and that was done. Jeff was welcoming and knowledgeable and I look forward to my next visit. I highly this recommend Coopers Hawk location!

Amazing meal! I had the grilled chicken sandwich that I was able to eat with a gluten free bun. Gluten free bread and butter was also brought to the table. Great experience with the wait staff in ensuring as little cross contamination as possible. Would eat again!

The personal loaf of GF bread alone should make you want to come here. The bread is slightly sweet (maybe honey?) and has a nice texture. The best part is that it’s a normal size unlike most GF rolls. The items that can be made GF are marked on the menu. I had the chicken piccata. The chicken was enjoyable. I’m not a big fan of the side options that are GF, so I went with the mashed potatoes. If you like mashies, you’ll enjoy them.

Ordered the gluten free lettuce wraps. Was in the middle of making one when a server came out with the Gluten free lettuce wraps. Turned out they gave me the wrong ones. Luckily I hadn't taken a bite yet. They were very apologetic. They were delicious! Also had the grouper, fantastic! Gluten free bread was good, too. Tested it with my Nima and got a smiley! Just be extra careful that you get the correct food!

Beware! I have eaten here before so knew that the pretzel bread that they put in my (clearly marked as g-f) meal was NOT gluten free. Puzzling and careless as they do have a gluten free bun available that is usually served with g-f meals. Let's hope more care was taken with my shrimp and scallop risotto.

Gluten free bread was wonderful all the wines are also gluten-free and many options on the main menu that are gluten-free. The food was excellent one of the best gluten-free entrées that we have had in a long time also many dessert options as well which was a plus.

Visited here for the first time and the server was very knowledgeable about cross contamination and gluten allergies. I have Celiac disease and am very sensitive to any cross contamination and I had no trouble here. I ordered the steak salad and they even brought out gluten free bread beforehand! I felt very safe eating at this restaurant and the wine was yummy too!

We were excited to find this restaurant, because they seemed to take many precautions and were very knowledgeable about GF options. Our daughter was happy because it tasted good, however, it was obviously not GF, because she was sick for hours.

I ordered delivery because I am traveling alone on business. Very impressive GF menu options, it was difficult to decide. What got me to order was that they have a few GF dessert options. I ordered way too much food, but couldn’t decide. One thing, my food was delivered with a roll and butter, my instinct was that it wasn’t GF even though I have read reviews that they have GF dinner rolls, so I called the restaurant to confirm. It was in fact not GF. One thing my 9 years eating GF is .... if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn’t GF. I was a little bummed, but glad I caught it. The restaurant offered to have GF bread re-delivered. I felt too bad for the delivery person to have to deliver a single roll, and honestly, I could do without it.

My brother is the bartender so a few family members went to visit him during a shift. We sat outside under heaters and felt very comfortable. Waitress was new but seemed knowledgeable and prepared for celiac ordering. Fryer is not dedicated. I chose the steak salad which was very good. Came with a homemade dressing that was gluten free. I believe all dressings were but I’m a little late writing my review. GF bread service was a really sweet gesture for someone who never gets that before dinner snack, but isn’t really that tasty. Ask Hance at the bar to make you an old fashioned for dessert ;)

No symptoms!

We were a little apprehensive due to the 33% celiacs saying unsafe. But I asked our server about the cue to know if gf- plate shape, food flag, etc. She said they put a pick in it that they remove before serving so we asked that she leave it in for surety.

AMAZING steak and chicken medera (sp?). Steak was perfect. We added the flourless chocolate torte which was fantastic. No hesitation about going back when we visit KC.

Many gluten free available options; the server was knowledgeable about substitutions as well. And she went back to the chef for specific questions about other allergies! We ordered an appetizer and she came back telling us it was in the same fryer and we cancelled it so I wouldn’t get sick. Delicious food and they’re so careful.

This restaurant is one of the top gluten-free/friendly facilities I have eaten at over the last 6 years of being gluten-free. They have separate gluten free bread that tastes like the real thing and their gnocchi was to die for. It’s rare to find a gluten-free meal that is this satisfying! They also have a gluten-free dessert menu that we were too full to try but it’s nice knowing every course of the meal can be gluten-free! 10/10 recommend!

I had the Parmesan crusted chicken with a lemon butter sauce, green beans and mashed potatoes. Piping hot GF bread was brought to the table. My GF son and I also enjoyed the shrimp appetizer in an amazing guacamole sauce and the salted caramel crembbrule’. The taste of every item was phenomenal, the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and and was able to answer every question I had! Half the menu is GF but even more can be modified to be GF. There is not a dedicated fryer. This is my new favorite Orlando restaurant!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update sept 2020 some of their ingredients have changed. I have soy allergy and now have very few gf items I can have so sad Update Aug 2020- loveeee parmesan crusted chicken and Mexican drunken shrimp may 2020- Doing Delivery and pu limited menu. Make sure you get gluten free menu and explain u have celiac. If you have more allergies then ask for gluten free allergen menu. They are not very up to date with what has soy. I have gone many times in the past year and ask for that menu as well as Ingredients. My servers have been wonderful. Love the wine and wine tastings. 2019-The food was ok. I wouldnt get the fish again. It took along time to get our food. Its a very pretty place. Update May 2019 I had great service and wonderful lunch

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten at Cooper's Hawk well over 20 times without a Celiac reaction. I love their food...chicken wraps & the chicken dishes. I ALWAYS tell/stress to the server that I have a gluten allergy and if they can write allergy because I don't want to get very sick. This method works for me.

The managers and kitchen staff are notified IMMEDIATELY for allergens and Celiac. They bring out separate utensils and bread options at the beginning of the interaction. The staff was notified of my gluten-free needs throughout ALL the courses in my meal. The server was very knowledgeable and understood the severity of my condition and was informed of the menu.

The food was delicious! The complimentary bread was homemade and excellent. I am HIGHLY sensitive to cross-contamination and had no issues throughout my meal. The few things I did order were able to easily be modified by leaving off a garnish or had a delicious substitute. So many choices, high quality food, highly recommend!

This is a quality fine dinning experience catered to every customers needs. The staff is well informed and very accommodating. Very peasant, memorable dining experience!

I eat here all of the time and I have never gotten sick. I know many of the servers and staff personally and it's always amazing and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food. Gluten free menu is almost as extensive as the regular menu. Gluten free rolls as well. I had the special which was outstanding and gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

BEST GF meal I’ve had in a long time! I had the crispy chicken (something like that) with mashed potatoes. SO GOOD. The owner knows someone with celiac and the menu has a variety of options. I had trouble picking one thing so you know that’s a good thing! Did not have a reaction and I was reassured it would be prepared safely.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The owners sister is Celiac and they go above and beyond to make sure their food is gluten free. They have an extensive gluten free menu and the food is beyond excellent. They have a gluten free bread that is better then some regular breads.

Our waitress Kylie was so understanding to me having celiac. She asked the cooked every one of my questions. Food was delicious! I felt great for the rest of the night!! Definitely recommend, they have a gluten free menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I unfortunately got sick here both times I’ve gone. It is a shame because the food tastes incredibly good. I had the drunken shrimp and braised beef risotto both times. I tend to give a second chance to restaurants, but after the second time getting sick I can’t go back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Unbelievable gluten free menu from start to finish. They are so careful and the manager checks everything. Everything was delicious. This place is amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

You can’t go wrong here. Great food, a dedicated gluten free menu, and a manger sign off on every gluten free order to ensure things are done right. They even have freshly baked GF bread to start your meal. And of course 🍷🍷🍷.

Oh my goodness, if you have Celiac and find yourself in Tampa, come here. The gluten free menu is pretty big and lots of variety. Not only was my food safe and tasty, I got a small round loaf of bread. I felt so special.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When an order is placed from the gluten-free menu it gets flagged in their system and a kitchen manager ensures that an area is sanitized and that they use dedicated utensils/etc. All gluten-free food items will come out by the assigned server or the manager, never by another staff member. All gluten-free food items get approved by the kitchen manager as they leave the kitchen.

If you are ordering from the gluten-free menu they will bring gluten-free bread (seemed like just a hamburger bun) plus butter. I enjoyed all of the food I tried: Thai chicken lettuce wraps (same as the regular menu offering, but without the fried wontons and the dipping sauce that contains regular soy sauce), "black and bleu" strip steak chopped salad, and salted caramel creme brulee. All of it was great.
