Gluten-free In North Jersey?

i'm looking for restaurants in the northern new jersey area (sussex & morris county) that have a gluten-free selection.

i already know of outback steakhouse, and longhorn steakhouse is in the midst of developing a gluten-free menu as we speak.

any suggestions?

and feel free to name any restaurants in the upper-half of the state. i just choose to stay more local when i'm going out to dinner with friends.

thanks! :)

hi! i'm in northern jersey too - i grew up in bergen county, and i'm in hoboken now.

there's a GREAT restaurant in Ho-Ho-Kus called Janice's - the food is EXCELLENT, a lot of it is gluten free (they will tell you what is/isn't, it seems like most is) and they have gluten free bread. it's great if you want to go somewhere beyond chain restaurants (that said, i am going to outback tonight!)

i also like legal seafoods at the garden state mall, and there's a PF chang's at riverside in paramus. in hoboken there's a melting pot, which i've read on here does gluten-free but ihaven't tried it yet. if you're feeling really fancy, there's ruth's chris (parsippany and near hoboken, weehauken i think?) and morton's in riverside sq. mall (paramus) - i've had great meals there (though very expensive)

let me know of any you find!

We often go to the Legal Seafood at the Short Hills Mall . . . they have a gluten free menu.

Also, we found a new pizzaria, Calabria Pizzeria & Restaurant that serves gluten free pizza and pasta. We haven't been there yet, so I would ask a lot of questions about cross contamination at the outset, but we are definitely planning to try it.

Pals Cabin has been able to accommodate us. Grilled chicken and baked potato & veggies are great . . . they do a good grilled steak as well.

In Montclair, there is a Japanese restaurant, DaiKichi, where we keep our own bottle of wheat free soy sauce and they accommodate us as well. Good chicken teryaki and sushi.

Also in Montclair, Tinga Taqeria on Bellvue Ave. is a good Mexican restaurant. Their hard corn tacos with beef or chicken are fine and so are their tortilla chips.

good luck!

If you are ever in Cape May, the Belle Vida serves great gluten free food. I loved it there.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
