Atlanta Georgia

[swittenauer]

I just did a posting on Gatlinburg but totally forgot that we are going to Atlanta, GA on vacation before that. Anyone know of a good website that lists any gluten free restaurants or of any specific places in Atlanta or near that offer gluten free food. We are going to Stone Mountain for a few days but will be really close to Atlanta. Thanks for any help you can give us.

I was just in Atlanta at the end of March to see my sis and went out to eat a few times. We went to Stone Mountain and did eat at Miss Katie's Sideboard Restaurant. They had very little for me to choose from, but I did have a burger, no bun and some green beans. I am not completely convinced the green beans were safe (lots of flavorings) and they didn't have a clue as to what I was talking about. PF Changs was great....very accomodating. Ted's Montana Grill was so-so in Buford, but I have eaten at others that were wonderful. It could have just been the server. Chik-fil-a is great for fast food...waffle fries are okay, chargrilled chicken salad and ranch are all okay. There is a Harry's (Whole Foods) there, but I found that Kroger also had just as much gluten-free to offer as they did (and they were cheaper).

That is all I can remember for now. If I think of anything else, I'll post back. Have fun!

There isn't much in Atlanta to eat at. Do a search on here to find a few threads about this city.

I live in Lilburn which is next to Stone Mtn -

the only place I've eaten at with success

is the Longhorn Steakhouse on Hwy 78/Killian Hill Rd

in Stone Mtn/Lilburn. The manager knew what

I was talking about when I gave the server my dining

card. I have many food allergies too and they

were very accomodating. There are a few places

in the Midtown/Buckhead area of Atlanta but as

a rule I typically don't eat out. There also is an

Outback Steakhouse on Hwy 78 in Stone Mtn. that

you might want to try but I've never been there.

Hope you have a good trip!

Well, I was hoping to hear something wonderful. We were hoping that there was a place or 2 in that area that someone may have had luck with or that understood what celiac was. I know you all know, we just get a little tired of eating at the same places even though those select few are awesome.

I can't vouch from personal experience, but there is a local group here that I just joined that eats out together on a monthly basis and publishes info about the places they ate on their message boards, including the gluten-free menus. Join the group at Open Original Shared Link, search for Celiac and use zip 30050. Go to the message boards and you will find the gluten-free menus. Some of the restaurants are: R.Thomas, Blue Ridge Grill, Cedar Creek Grill, Carrabas, Cheesburger in Paradise, Smokey Bones, On the Border, PF Changs, and Outback. PM me if you have any problems.

Hope you enjoy your trip!

The person to ask about this is Floridanative. She knows a lot about the restaurants in that area.

The meetup.com idea was great!!! I got all of the menus to restaurants maked with what is gluten free. We are gonna have a ball & be very full also.

Sorry I missed this....on vacation when you posted. We eat out about once a week and there are the usual chains but I've found the higher end places are much more Celiac aware than most chain places they supposedly know what gluten is.
