110 Grill is an absolute game-changer for anyone with celiac—this is the rare dedicated gluten-free restaurant where you can finally breathe easy and order with abandon. Every core menu item is available gluten-free, and their allergy protocols are woven right into the service: allergy flags on plates, managers hand-delivering meals, and a kitchen culture that takes contamination seriously. It's the kind of place where you feel normal again, snagging fried pickles, burgers on soft GF buns, or even fish and chips without worry. Honestly, if you’ve spent years dodging cross-contact landmines, 110 Grill feels like a long-overdue sigh of relief.

The Healing Meals

Safety Score

107A Everett Rd, Albany, NY 12205, USA

The Healing Meals was a haven for celiacs—truly, a dedicated gluten-free facility where you could finally let your guard down and skip the awkward 'is this safe?' conversation. Everything from the kitchen to the menu (think hearty chicken enchiladas, generous salmon patties, and chewy brownies) was created in a 100% gluten-free environment, with no risk of cross-contact since 2019. Yes, there was some controversy years ago about non-GF vendor items, but that's firmly in the past; since then, the owner has doubled down on safety, even taking a financial hit to guarantee a celiac-friendly space. It's closed now, but you know what? For a stretch of time in Albany, this was one of those rare places where we could all just breathe easy and eat well.
