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

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      nothing has changed

      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.
