Gluten Free North Carolina - New Bern/beaufort/greensboro

[jetiduncan]

We are heading to New Bern, NC in two weeks and I have contacted a few people in North Carolina but they really weren't too up on gluten-free restaurants in the area.

Does anyone know of a good place near New Bern, NC? We will be there for a week...

We will only be in Greensboro for an evening and I'm sure there is probably an Outback somewhere around that we can drive to, but I was hopeful I might find some experienced diners in the area that could offer an alternative from the limited menu's at many chains and maybe a good ice cream place.

We have found some great places in our area.. North Indianapolis/Noblesville, IN and know of a few in other states where we have traveled before.

Of course, we'll be packing the coolers for the drive but was looking forward to being able to dine out as a family on vacation... (So I don't spend my vacation cooking which is no different then being at home... )

We lived in New Bern for a year, up until September of '08. Not too many options (other than Outback and the usual chain options) that I can remember. There's a health food store called Nature's Basket with the usual options. If you are going to be somewhere with a kitchen, you might be able to get enough supplies there to help you out (Bob's Red Mill). Otherwise, I did find the people to be very helpful, so you might want to contact local restaurants like The Cow Cafe, a downtown ice cream shop, beforehand and ask about ingredients.

The truth is, there were so few options that we are considering moving back to Eastern NC and starting up a bakery with good gluten-free options!

Good luck.

Don't know if this will help you or not but, there is a fun site called Lame Advertisement. You just put in the area you are going to and get restaurant review for the area. They are not a gluten-free site, I have written to convince them to do this, but several of my reviews have gluten-free information on them. Their are also some yelpers that are following suit in their area's.

Also, google gluten-free restaurants and that area, usually something comes up.

[Hi, hope I am not too late. I couldn't remember my password when I first read this. lol Suggestions for Greensboro.. Bonefish Grill on Highpoint Rd. in front of Four Season Mall. gluten-free menu. Wonderful food, service, ambiance etc. gluten-free dessert too. Also, PF Chang's in Greensboro. Just ate there for my daughters b-day. Very good. Hope this helps.
