St. Louis

Anyone know of some places where you can get safe gluten-free food in the downtown St. Louis area and near Six Flags?

In downtown St. Louis, there is a place called Rooster's that specializes in crepes, and you can order any of them with a gluten-free shell. They are really good. The website is here --> Open Original Shared Link

Thank you! I'm finding it very hard to find places for us eat.

Google " gluten free St Louis". I live in KC but I know there are places. I assume you have a car. I know they have bakeries . You may want to pack a cooler for lunches and get a hotel with a kitchen like Townes Suites or Homestead Suites.

There is a St. Louis area support group for eating gluten-free on Yahoo.com called stlouisalerts. They have a pretty extensive restaurant list, or you can join (just need a free yahoo account) and you can post a question. I'm not from St. Louis, so sometimes when they talk about a restaurant and give the address, I don't know what area it's in.

There are some options... not as much downtown, but in areas near.

Pi pizzeria makes superb gluten-free pizza, they have a location in the Central West End (off of Kingshighway) and on Delmar in the University City Loop.

The closest bakery is kind of far, but you can find gluten-free Udi's bread and other stuff at Schnucks. Dierbergs has a larger selection. The grocery stores around town are pretty good at catering to gluten-free customers.

I've eaten at PF Changs in Brentwood and at Outback Steakhouse in South County with no issues. The people at Outback are really used to seeing me around... BF and I go there a ton.

I've heard news stories that Aramark is having a gluten-free booth at Busch Stadium, so it might be good to look up info. I know I can easily get Redbridge at Cards and Blues games.

The Pasta House Company has a gluten-free menu, but you have to call ahead to make sure they get your pasta prepared.

As far as other options, I know there are a few restaurants in West Saint Louis County, but that's a bit of a haul from downtown, unfortunately. There's a pancake house and a pasta place I know of in West County. I think the pancake place is The Original Pancake House and the spaghetti place is The Old Spaghetti Factory. Andrea's Gluten-Free bakery is also out there. Like I said, it is a haul, so if you don't have a car it's not a great option. It's a good 20-30 minutes from my house in south city and I'm not even downtown.

Hope that helps a bit!
