Eleven City Diner

The food was AMAZING. I let the staff know I have celiac and need all of my food to be completely gluten free and they took it very seriously and helped figure out what on the menu was safe and what wasn’t. When my food was brought out they assured me that it was made away from all gluten so there was minimal chance of contamination. My only complaint is that the only mention of gluten free items on their menu is that they have gf bread and buns available and no items are marked as gf.

I am very sensitive celiac. I asked about their gf options for celiacs and they brought a manager out. She explained some of the things they could do, they use udis buns. The fries and potatoes aren't safe. I ended up getting a gf cheeseburger with fruit salad. They brought it out separately and the waitress seemed on it. No reaction!

I called ahead and asked about their gf options, was told they would be able to assist. Reiterated at the restaurant I had celiac and needed to eat gluten free. I found out a few bites in, the potatoes came fried in the same oil as breaded items and gf toast offered but toasted in a communal toaster. When I got extremely ill in the middle of the restaurant, the manager took his time walking over, blamed me for eating the food they assured me was gf, and wouldn’t comp even just my meal let alone the whole party. Please avoid if you have celiac. They truly could not care less about food safety/allergies.

GF bread and buns! Turkey burger was great!

Good food. Not as much gluten free available in person as they said would be available when I called ahead. Very crowded space

All they offer is store type Udis bread. No gf menu, no accommodation. Would not eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

No

Did not list that they had GF buns or bread but when I asked about it, my server did confirm they use Udi’s multigrain bread. Subbed the fries that came with my patty melt for the quinoa delicatessen salad and my meal was wonderful!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Enjoyed a delicious corned beef sandwich today. Served on Udi’s multigrain bread with a pickle and side of fresh fruit (because the fries are done in a shared fryer). While there is no gluten free menu or markings in the regular menu, appreciate that the place is accommodating to gluten free diners. My sandwich came out with a flag marking that it was gluten free, and I feel pretty good right now so confident that the kitchen takes precautions to prevent cross contamination.

Our waiter was very good on GF but the quality control in the kitchen seemed iffy. In the end, I think the dish was GF but it took some perseverance.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Staff was very knowledgeable and made sure my daughters meal was GF. Seasoning for the potatoes contains gluten, so they made hers without the seasoning. They have a separate toaster for GF bread. Waiter even came by to check her food to make sure it was right.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ❤that my waitress said to me "i will be your gluten free tour guide." They even had gf bread!! Don't get the potatoes though, they contain gluten somehow (thanks tour guide). Would definitely eat here again.

Had a wonderful corned beef sandwich on GF bread with cole slaw and a half sour pickle. Many thanks to the owners and staff for being so careful. I have Celiac disease and I did not get sick. Highly recommend for breakfast and lunch.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely phenomenal for celiacs. Separate toaster and extremely knowledgeable. Manager came out to speak with me and my omelette was amazing. Amazing atmosphere as well. HIGHLY recommend if you come to Chicago!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A bit pricy, and it isn't marked on the menu what can be gluten free, but the staff is very very knowledgeable. It was a pleasant surprise to see how much they knew and how much they could accommodate. I highly recommend

The staff took their time going through the menu to point out what was gluten free or could be modified to be gluten free. They have Udi's bread for sandwiches. When I placed my order, they told me the kitchen staff would change gloves before preparing my food. Excellent and friendly service, good variety on the menu. Highly recommend.
