Mahle’s Restaurant

Westlake

http://www.mahlesrestaurant.com My husband and I have been taking friends and family to this fine restaurant for over 20 years and have never had a bad meal. After the recent pandemic lock-down was lifted, we phoned and made a family reservation for 5 people. They have never had a gluten-free menu; however, for the past 16 years since my celiac disease diagnosis, I have eaten there many times with no problems. Wait staff for this recent visit wore masks and were as helpful as ever – it was a wonderful experience, especially in these difficult times, and we highly recommend this fine establishment. P.S. My favorite meal is prime rib with grilled scampi and baked potato – but I have also had their surf and turf, petite filet steak and lobster.

Nothing Bundt Cakes

Many locations

First the bad news: Nothing Bundt Cakes makes beautiful (mostly) gluten filled cakes.

The (maybe) good news is that “gluten-free flavor is available at select bakeries”.

This bakery makes only bundt cakes in a variety of sizes. There were a number of flavors on display, one of which was gluten free chocolate chip.

The counter clerk shared a binder with cake ingredients and assured me that separate pans and utensils are used in preparation.

The “Bundtlet” was a large muffin size, moist and dotted with mini chocolate chips. It was topped with their signature cream cheese frosting. A truly decadent treat.

Two sizes are available gluten free. The “Bundlet” was $5 (50 cents more than the gluten filled options) and 8 inch for $25 ($3 more). The clerk said that cakes are available with 20 minutes notice.

I visited the South Euclid store located on the North side of Cedar Center – 13949 Cedar Rd, South Euclid, OH 44118.

Other nearby stores are in Avon (35925 Detroit Rd, Avon, OH 44011) and Canton (4468 Belden Village St NW, Canton, OH 44718). They may have the gluten free cakes.

Boss ChickNBeer

Berea, Bay Village, Seven Hills, Cuyahoga Falls

This is a nice, simple restaurant with a menu limited primarily to chicken (wings or very meaty tenders/strips) and go-withs for the chicken. Sauces are served on the side and almost all of them are gluten-free. Staff is very knowledgeable re gluten-free, too. Sides include things like potato fries, cauliflower and cheese (the gluten-free version of ‘macaroni and cheese’) and garlic Brussels sprouts. Portions were ample and we took some home, too. Food is ordered at the front, you then find a seat yourself, a server takes

your drink orders. Then you are called to pick up your food from the bar when it is ready. Suggest you arrive hungry and enjoy!

2/2026 Note: The food menu is now entirely gluten free. Though they still serve regular beer besides gluten free.

Cooper’s Hawk Winery has added a new location in Cleveland OH market as well as having expanded the options for gluten free diners.

Check out the link above for the full gluten-free menu.  Lots of items to choose from.  Everything made fresh in house – including desserts – of which 4 were available tonight.

Our server, Brit W, was an absolute gem of graciousness and knowledge guiding the table through options, answering questions about ingredients, and explaining the process and concept of Cooper’s Hawk.

Was asked if the g-f request reflected a preference or an allergy.  This question never really bothers me although I know others don’t care to be asked but Brit informed us that an allergy request on an order to the kitchen requires 3 signatures from the floor staff.  They take this very seriously and I appreciate that they do.

I started with the Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad – one of the best salads I’ve had dining out – ever!  Followed the salad with the Short Rib Risotto – also wonderful – both portions – way more than enough for a single diner.

No desserts were had tonight but next time I will most definitely order with dessert in the plan to finish.  I hear that Salted Caramel Creme Brulee calling my name.

Our site visitor Brittney shared the news of the opening of Battery Park Pub with us – Thank You Brittney – you are so right – this place is wonderful!

At first I was a bit skeptical, due to the pub name and all.  One visit to Battery Park Pub and I was completely enamored!  So much so that I was seriously considering never sharing the info and keeping it all to myself.

I’m not selfish though, so, here’s the scoop!!

We arrived at the pub, found a seat, and immediately were greeted by Rachel!  She was well informed about all things on the menu and took notes on my suggestions for g-f beer since they had yet to stock that at the bar.  They do have cider and the White Claw Seltzers ( these are super popular ) but  they were out of on that particular evening.

We shared the pickled veg bowl!  One of my favorite things showing up in restaurants these days are the pickled veg.  Battery Park’s bowl was extraordinary – carrots, snap peas, radishes, zucchini!!   Perfectly made and super tasty.

My dining partner had the cauliflower/potato soup and pierogis while I had the mac n cheese with pulled pork topping.  We shared everything!  We loved it all!

After a bit, we were visited by the owner, Garrett, who thanked us for the gf beer recommendations, filled us in on all the details of how they came to be, and checked on our thoughts about the food!  We let him know that we would be back soon, bring friends along, and share all about Battery Park Pub.

Today! in my email!  Garrett messaged to let me know that they are now stocking Glutenberg – Pale Ale!  I’ll be seeing them tonight!

plus see our original post from Sept 2018 with Cleveland Scene article……..

Battery Park Pub is Detroit Shoreway’s neighborhood eatery and drinkery.  Located next to the walking bridge to Edgewater Park, it’s the perfect location to grab a bite and libations before going to the beach.
