Gluten-Free at Cheeseburger in Paradise

Update: Sadly this place has closed. Shame

Best GF burger I've had in a long time! Service was a little slow but very friendly and the manager brought out our food to us! They have a separate frier for the fries and made sure to reassure us that they try their best to avoid cross contamination (however they do have a disclaimer stating that it is still a possibility) Over all it was amazing though, and we will be coming back!

The staff here was very helpful. If they did not know the answer, they went and found someone who did. The made sure all of our food and drink was made safely. We had a lovely time here and would come back again.

Restaurant has closed as of the 27th o September.

This place used to be a lot better. They changed the menu and staff and it went through a rough patch with the gluten free but they’re starting to get their act together again. Be sure to double/triple check the meal isngluten free and the fries were in the dedicated fryer. They have two fryers, one for fries and other gluten free options and the other for non gf options. Sometimes one fryer breaks but they usually warn you of the situation.

was excited to come here, but found that they closed august 21st </3

UPDATE: THIS BUSINESS HAS CLOSED! The service was not good. Seemed like the table next to us had the same issue. Once your server left the table they were not to be seen again so you had to ask other servers. The manager brought my food out personally which made me feel safe because I get very nervous eating out. The food was safe for me that was the most important thing.

French fries in dedicated fryer. Eaten here successfully many times as a sensitive celiac.

So happy. Separate server for gluten free meals and separate areas in kitchen for gluten free prep. Sitting on the patio was awesome for our group of 17 with kids.

Staff was super knowledgeable had a great gluten free menu. The bun was one of the best we have had! I recommends the Swiss, mushroom onion burger!

Experience is Like Red Robin, but better quality food. Separate fryer, manager brought out. Soft gf bun, Yummy!

So good, awesome burger and fries!

Cross contamination after making my needs very clear to the server. Had a fried onion string (obviously did not order) under my gluten free bun. Also they served my salad with croutons, so I had to send it back to get remade.

We have been coming to the Destin area approximately once per year for over 10 years. This used to be our go to restaurant, often visiting two, even three times per trip. We first noticed a decline about two years ago when they ran out of GF buns the entire length of our stay. Recently we decided to give them another chance but this time the fryer was broken and they refused to discount our ticket even though he only received basically half of the meal (burger sans fries). The GF menu seems to be shrinking, the service has becone really poor, and the food (including that for non-GF party members) seems to have declined. We'll be buying our burgers from LuLu's from now on.

Fabulous food and a great price. I have Celiac’s and eat here when we are on vacation with no problem. $12 for a huge bacon cheddar burger (GF) and the fries are safe too (and out of this world!)

Tons of GF items, clearly marked, and knowledgable staff. Checks all boxes for a safe place to eat. BUT, its ALSO amazing for food in general. Everyone was super thrilled with their food, and we had a good variety of items - all Gluten Free. Not sure who makes their buns, but they're also quite good with a burger. I'd be back!

Great place to eat! They always make sure to keep my gluten free food separate from the other. We come here once a week to eat. Great staff as well!

great food, but it made my fiancee very sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

Not sure what the deal is. Everyone else has left such great reviews! But every time I try, I'm clear in my dietary needs and order very clearly gluten free off the gluten free menu and still end up sick! It's not as sever as if I were to eat gluten but there has to be some sort of CC going on. I've ordered a variety of things and have even avoided fries and did a bun less burger once too. Still sick on the days following.

Has a gluten free menu. Fries which are awesome are fried in dedicated fryer. I had their bacon cheeseburger on gluten free bun. And very friendly wait staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their burgers were amazing! The GF bun tasted like a normal bun and everything is prepared cooked in a separate kitchen space!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was really good. Seems celiac friendly. Service as atrocious. Management checked in on the table and asked how everything was, ignored our empty drink glasses etc after the slow server neglected it for about 15 minutes. Maybe order To Go from there

Celiac friendly?

Very delicious and friendly service. Separate fryers for the fries.

Celiac friendly?

The food was excellent they Pride themselves in being cross-contamination safe. The server was wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better experience! This is definitely a safe place to eat if you love Burgers and Fries. They have a dedicated fryer for their fries. The burger was sweet and delicious and juicy I would give them a higher rating if I could!

Best burger & fries I've had in a long time!

Dedicated gluten free menu with plenty of options, including apps and dessert. General Manager served gluten free food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitress didn't know which vodkas they had in the well. I ordered the gluten free potato chips with all the toppings. 20 minutes later I was having gluten related symptoms. Wouldn't return!

My daughter was thrilled with the sandwich!

AMAZING gluten free menu-their hamburger bun is great! I've gone there for years & have never had a problem

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The burgers were just Ok with GF buns. This wasn't the best I've had but the staff was very knowledgeable, so that was a plus. The burger could have used a little more seasoning. The bun was very crumbly. The side salad was a little wilted. Also, there is an up charge for the GF bread and a side salad. I had to get the side salad because the fries (which were included) were not cooked in a dedicated fryer, therefore they were not an option. I gave it three stars because although it wasn't my favorite it was Ok and the staff is gluten aware.

We are here in January and February each year. I like their hamburger and fries. They are always helpful with menu. I heard service had been very slow but maybe new management because I have not had a problem.

After reading all the great reviews, I felt confident as a Celiac that this restaurant was a safe place to eat. Wrong. I ordered the All American burger and fries. I specifically asked the waiter if the fries were fried in a dedicated fryer and he said yes they are. About 20 minutes after eating, I was in severe stomach pain. I didn't really like the fries they had some seasoning on them aside from the tons of salt. I was sick the rest of the night. It could have been cross contamination. It was not a safe option for me.

Celiac friendly?

No

Service was really lacking! we were seated immediately but it took 10 minutes for a waitress to come to our table and another 15 minutes for our drinks to come then another 20 minutes for food. The burger was mediocre and the gf bun was very dry!

Waiter was very knowledgable regarding gluten free options. Dedicated fryers. Burger on gluten free bun was delicious! Definitely going back!

I had high hopes for this place. The GF part is that I did not get sick. But the GF bun was burnt- they took to back and somewhat burnt the second bun. I was tired of waiting so I just pealed the burnt parts of the 2nd bun. It still had some what burnt taste. They really did not care much. I will not return, but it may be safe to eat there.

Young waitress was clueless about celiac-safe requirements. May be fine for the gluten-intolerant, but would be very careful with celiac. They did say they had a dedicated fryer, but I suspect there was cross-contamination somewhere along the line, as I felt ill afterwards. Food taste/quality was good "pub food," overall.

Food was amazing!! They have a bunch of GF items on their menu. Burgers & fries are delish!!! Waitress was very helpful & knowledgeable. Will def be going back. Was very comfortable eating there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu with gluten free buns and gluten free fries!

We eat here every time we come to MB. Great selection of burgers that can be served on warm gluten free bun. Fries are cooked in dedicated fryer. Most recently, I had a burger with avocado, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. It was amazing. They also have grilled chicken breast to exchange for beef patty if you prefer. Great family atmosphere. Will return!
