97 Lake

I just discovered 97 Lake in West Harrison, NY (Westchester County). It's FANTASTIC! I've been there twice in the last week. The entire menu is gluten free. The only difference between the regular menu and the gluten free menu is the bread items are served on and I believe the pizza. They have separate pizza ovens (the gluten pizza oven is on the bottom to avoid any possibility of crumbs falling down).

I was talking to the owner (who has celiac) and he said he wanted to make everything gluten free but his trick is that he just doesn't say on the regular menu that the wings, nachos, fries, mac n cheese, etc, etc. is gluten free because he knows then people would be turned off by it. This restaurant is a must!

Wow! Thanks for this. The menu looks so ridiculous I don't even know where to start. Considering this place is only 2 miles from our house we will be trying it right after Thanksgiving! We just never travel in that direction so I had no idea it was there.

I hope you love it as much as I do! I'm doing my best to make my way through the whole menu. LOL!

So far I've had wings, pulled pork quesadillas (didn't love these actually), onion rings, mac n' cheese, club sandwich w/ avocado and grilled cheese. Clearly I've made a few visits.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's our next meal as soon as Thanksgiving is over! Can't wait. Looks like they have a great kids menu for our little monkey too.

We just had dinner at 97 lake. OMG.... I had a cheeseburger with onion rings. Put aside eating healthy for a night and indulge here while remaining completely gluten-free! They were also very kid friendly, the dining room was mostly kids at 5pm and our waitress was making friends with our 20 month old. The owner came by and chatted with us for a few mins. He said, and I quote "you couldn't be cross contaminated here if you tried." We'll be back as soon as I can burn off all these calories!

Here's the menu for anyone interested: Open Original Shared Link

Jillian--in Mapquesting this, I just realized that my husband and I were right around the corner from there last month shopping at The Westchester and of course had no idea it was there! Needless to say, we plan to go back up there soon--this place sounds fantastic--thanks :)

Oh wow, you really were right around the corner Patti. The Westchester is about 5 mins. away! Well it's a great mall to go holiday shopping. Even during holiday time it doesn't tend to get unbearably crowded so that's extra incentive to come back : )

An update. The last two times I went to 97 lake, my stomach has been a complete mess the next few days. Both times I've had a cheese burger with grilled onions. I know they got the order right as the bun was obviously gluten-free. I also ate the fries. I don't know what it was and I'm very upset because, in theory, it should be so good. Maybe it's the amount of red meat and grease?

Hello, this is the owner of 97 lake. First, I am sorry you have felt poorly after eating at the restaurant. As a Celiac myself, you must know how seriously I take keeping our kitchen gluten free. Given the steps we take in the kitchen, including the fact there is NO powdered flour in the kitchen at all, I hope this is a coincidence or some other issue. The only items containing gluten in the restaurant are the buns and pizza dough - which never go in the fryer and are stored and cooked separately in the kitchen. Next time you come in, please come see me and I will take you through the kitchen so you can see for yourself how meticulous we are in serving our gluten free customers. I hope you are feeling better....Alan

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
