Niagara Falls Eating Out


EmmaQ

Recommended Posts

HI

We're traveling to Niagara Falls in a few weeks. Any suggestions on safe and friendly places to eat? I so hate being told they won't serve us! It's like the liability policy have arrived and every restaurant out there is rude now. I just want a salad without bread crumbs or onion rings and you can't just take them off.

Anyway, the its a PITA to eat out, but we do it on road trips.

I wonder if we will come into problems crossing over into Canada with our van full of gluten-free foods for the trip there and back home. I hope not.

Are you just staying in the falls, or travelling elsewhere (NOTL, St. Catharines, and so on). I live in the area and can point you to some places.

Thanks.

I'll come back when I know where we are staying.

i live niagara falls and ive been there quite a few times.

swiss chalet has many choices. i order the quarter chicken dinner with a baked potato and you can even have the dipping sauce!

the keg are also very nice about celiac. call ahead of time or ask your server. i got a spicy chicken dish from there, but i guess when the waiter checked it had gluten in it. they came out and told me they were going to make me something special and they did! they made a different sauce just for me. i felt so special haha!

even go on websites, i know montana's and swiss chalet have a whole allergen menu thing on their website. good luck! and you'll love niagara falls :)

Hey,

We're staying on the Canadian side of things. At an indoor water park hotel system, like Great Wolf, but not Great Wolf.

I'm going to have to stop in a grocery store as well b/c we are planning on breakfast and lunch in our hotel room. I'm not sure if anything will be disallowed crossing the border.

You can easily bring food over the border - pretty much anything except for citrus fruit (meat and plants are also a little difficult sometimes). just make sure you claim it all - I do a lot of my grocery shopping in the states and cross quite often.

There are some better restaurants not right in the falls area, but as the previous poster said, those places are familiar. There is an Outback right beside the casino and they have the gluten-free menu.

If you go into NOTL or other regions, there are some great places. Are you planning going out of the falls?

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
