Tried J Gumbo’s yesterday. It is a fast food cajun/creole eatery. About a half dozen menu items are designated gluten free, including spicy Voodoo Chicken, creamy Bumblebee Stew and a traditional Jambalaya. Loved that they offer samples, so I tried all of the GF varieties before placing my order. I enjoyed a bowl of White Chili served over rice. As I was leaving I saw a menu notation that you can order a 2nd entree for $1 or 3rd for $2 more, served together in one bowl. The next time I would get the spicy Voodoo Chicken in combination with one of the milder offerings.

Located just up from Public Square between Chipotle and Noodlecat.

Kalahari – The Reserve

Sandusky

Tonia shares: I stayed at Kalahari a couple weeks ago when I was at the Middle School Conference and they have a gluten free menu in one of their restaurants, “The Reserve”. I was able to have a burger on a GF bun with GF fries. They have GF breakfast foods as well-waffles, etc. It was such a pleasant surprise! They also have GF pasta and bread for sandwiches.

From Gay:
Last night we stopped at Light Bistro (Ohio City neighborhood) for a late evening bite.
The general manager stopped to chat and assured me that the kitchen is always willing to work with the gluten-free requests coming from folks with CD. I ordered my favorite “small plate” of lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce plus a side salad with a fresh vinaigrette dressing.
When I go in at lunch, I typically order their fresh fish or chicken entree for the day.
Have you tried this restaurant? Please add your comments.

Update 3/14/2013: Gay says: If life brings you to the Ohio City neighborhood in Cleveland, Light Bistro located at 2801 Bridge Ave., now has a printed, gluten-free menu. In addition, they often have specials that can be prepared gluten-free. I especially enjoy their salmon or chicken entrees at lunch. And Nicole adds: I have also eaten there before and they were easily able to accommodate anything I wanted.
