| Arby's | Several | Several | Arby's GF Menu | Any opinions? |
| Bento Cafe | 3841 SW Archer Rd or 3832 W Newberry Rd Ste 1J | (352) 224-5123 or (352) 377-8686 | The Newberry Store Menu | I have had success with Bento on Archer Road and been glutened repeatedly by Bento near the theater. You will find cross contamination here. They will substitute sides if you request it. I find the bowls to be safer than the boxes. |
| BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse | 6611 W Newberry Rd | (352) 331-8070 | BJ's GF Menu | Any opinions out there? |
| The Book Lover's Cafe | 505 NW 13th St. | (352) 384-0090 | The Book Lover's Cafe | This cafe has a few gluten-free options. I haven't gotten sick once though I've only been a few times. |
| Bonefish Grill | 3237 SW 35th Blvd | (352) 377-8383 | Bonefish Grill Gluten-free Menu | This is one of my favorite chain restaurants for gluten-free eating. The only down sides are crowding and price. For us, it's a special occasion restaurant. |
| Carrabba's Italian Grill | 3021 SW 34th Street | (352) 692-0083 | Carrabba's Gluten-free Menu | Please make a review. |
| Chipotle | 3841 Southwest Archer Road or 1432 West University Avenue | (352) 372-5330 or (352) 371-9396 | Chipotle Allergy List | I'm a big fan of the burrito bowl. |
| Copper Monkey Restaurant & Pub | 1700 West University Avenue | (352) 374-4984 | None | Mom is a big fan of the California Chicken sandwich minus the bun. Watch out for the fries if you are sensitive to cross contamination. |
| Dragonfly Sushi | 201 Southeast 2nd Avenue #104 | (352) 371-3359 | Dragonfly Sushi | Dragonfly Sushi is a restaurant that is not gluten-free however makes really good substitutes. The chef will go out of his way to prepare a meal that you do not feel you missed out on anything. For example, they have a teriyaki sauce that covers seared fish. It has wheat in it. The chef will make a plum wine vinaigrette that is to die for. Many things on the menu are gluten-free or easily substituted items like sauces. They also have wheat-free soy sauce if you ask for it. |
| Luca's Pasta | 607 W University Ave. | (352) 338-1700 | Luca's Pasta | I've heard this is a good restaurant. They have GF brown rice pasta. I will be heading there soon. Anyone been there? Please send your thoughts. |
| Miya Sushi | 3222 Southwest 35 Boulevard | 352) 335-3030 | Website Under Construction | The tuna and avocado salad at Miya Sushi is one of my favorites. The evening wait staff are knowledgeable. |
| Moe's Southwest Grill | 3536 3832 West Newberry Rd. (There are several locations.) | (352) 337-2850 | Download Menu and Allergy Information | I have gotten sick at them but it was dairy triggered and not gluten triggered. Be careful with them. It was probably because of cross contamination. |
| Outback Steakhouse | 3536 S.W. Archer Road | (352) 373-9499 | The Outback Steakhouse Gluten-free Menu | I've had mixed dinners at The Outback. I've had a perfect meal once and an over cooked meal once. The wait staff is also mixed. |
| Rolls and Bowls | 3117 SW 34th St. | (352) 271-1011 | Wheat-free Menu | One of my favorite restaurants. The bowls are customizable as are the rolls. People are friendly and helpful. Extra plus that they have a gluten-free menu and I have never have cross contamination issues. I have eaten here many times. It is a cheaper version of Dragonfly Sushi in the downtown area. |
| Satchel's Pizza | 1800 NE 23rd Ave | (352) 335-7272 | Satchel's Pizza | The salad has never caused me issues. They have a gluten-free pizza crust made by Sami's Bakery in the Tampa area. Neither Sami's Bakery nor Satchel's is a gluten-free environment. If you want to risk it, it's good pizza. It's made me sick a few times however I go back anyway. |
| Sonny's BBQ | Florida Chain + A Few More | Sonny's Allergen Menu | I have eaten at Sonny's a few times. I made the mistake of having the green beans and it made me sick. They look safe but are not so be careful to avoid the green beans. The wait staff is not so great at holding the garlic bread and usually brings it out anyway. If I get Sonny's, I tend to order a family meal to-go where all the dishes are packaged separate. | |
| Stonewood Grill & Tavern | 3812 Newberry Road | (352) 379-5982 | Stonewood Gluten-free Menu | Unknown |
| Taste of Saigon | 4860 NW 39th Ave Ste C | (352) 372-8686 | Taste of Saigon Menus | According to a family member: Easy to eat at during lunch time. She orders the bento box and it is easy to substitute the California roll for a vegatable or tuna roll. The grill chicken or pork and substitute with the rice noodles or salad. Be careful of other stuff because there is wheat in it. |
| Venice Cafe | 5240 NW 34th St. | (352) 872-5131 | Venice Cafe Website | I've eaten at this restaurant three or four times now. The staff is helpful. Donna, waitress, is persoanlly knowledgable and full of ideas. The kitchen has been able to modify the menu and made me quite happy. |
