My wife has a very sensitive gluten allergy so we eat at a lot of gluten free places. Long story short. We will be eating here every time we visit Tuscaloosa. The food was VERY good. The service was nice but they were busy. Cozy comfortable vibe.

Enjoyed a gluten free appetizer a meal and a drink. Excellent customer service. I'm not even a meatloaf eater but the bacon wrapped was delicious. I do believe the Crab cakes are my fav.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in town! We've never had a bad dish. The bartender works magic, chef makes the best sauces for every dish, the service is always top notch, and pretty much the whole menu is gluten free. I really can't tell you how much I love this place!

I felt comfortable and welcomed the moment I walked in. I was greeted promptly and seated immediately. I had reservations and did arrive a few minutes early. My server was friendly and very attentive. The Hibiscus Royale was a delightful drink created by the bartender. The Steak Frites was incredible! Very flavorful and tender. The marinade was perfect and the steak was grilled to a perfect medium rare. This is definitely my new favorite place to dine.

The entire experience was amazing. The hand crafted food is mouth watering. No one would think “gluten free” ! The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. And inexpensive as well! Dinner for 3 was under $100. Highly recommend!

Probably more gluten free options here than any other restaurant I've been to but there's no sacrifice in flavor in any of the dishes I tried. I tried the Cuban sandwich and the steak frites and both came with great sauces to accompany. Fries also we're unique and pretty good. Service was very friendly, attentive and quick.

We went on a Monday evening with no wait. The owner served us and was attentive. He is a believer that people should not have gluten in their diet and let us know that information. My husband is lactose intolerant, so we were thankful that they were able to take the cheese off of his sandwich to accommodate his dairy allergy. When we asked him about the 17 in the business name, he gladly told us the story behind everything. My husband got the Cuban sandwich and I got the veggie kabobs. My food came out luke warm and the veggies were more raw than I expected. I do not like cilantro so I asked for no sauce, but he insisted that I would not taste the cilantro because of the small amount and I should try it. I went ahead and agreed to have it put on the side although I have the gene that does not allow me to enjoy cilantro (tastes like soap) and I knew I would probably taste it right away. I was correct which I was sad about because the veggies by themselves did not have much flavor. The rice that came with it was delicious though. For the amount of food I got, the dish was a little pricey, and I became hungry again an hour later. My husband really enjoyed his sandwich and the sauce that came with his meal. The owner also brought us an appetizer to try and it was pretty good but it was also not very warm. Overall, it was a fun atmosphere and my dish was OK. My husband enjoyed his dish so we will be back and I will try something different next time.

I have been here twice. Each time service and food was of the highest I have experienced in Tuscaloosa. The drinks are delicious. I took my parents here when they visited and they both agreed the food was phenomenal. We initially planned to go to Avenue Pub but the wait was crazy. We crossed the street to see what else was out there and found this place. I believe Bistro 17 is a cut above Avenue Pub. It also has lots of gluten free options and some vegetarian dishes for those with unique diets. We ordered the meat loaf, Cuban club, and the macaroni balls- so good! I could eat their sweet potato fries EVERY DAY. Thier antique plates are so pretty too!
Finally, we have found a restaurant that has it all! Atmosphere, service, cleanliness, amazing drinks, and, oh yea, the FOOD! The food is absolutely delicious in every way and intriguing at the same time! We had the grilled cheese sandwich with waffle sweet potatoes fries, steak frites with steak fries and mixed veggies, fried pickles, Mac and cheese balls and 2 house drinks. The dinnerware will remind most of family and history which is actually quite nice in todays busy world! So many restaurants fall short of multiple things in my opinion and this one does not!We will definitely make this a monthly choice for our appetites!

Don’t let the gluten-free aspect steer you away!Went here with my girlfriend tonight and definitely will be coming back. I got the Crab Cakes which were delicious, the taste wasn’t too over the top or too subtle, and the mashed potatoes had a bit of added spice (although I can’t put my finger on it exactly) which was a warm divergence from the standard recipe. My girlfriend got the bacon wrapped meatloaf which tasted absolutely perfect. We also got cookies and ice cream which was to die for and tasted better after each bite. The service staff was incredibly friendly and worked in a timely manner. I hope Bistro 17 gets all of the support and patronage that they worked for. Definitely give it a shot you won’t regret it!

We had an incredible birthday dinner for our daughter who has Celiac Disease. Everything, from the complimentary risotta, corn balls to the desserts, was delicious. I enjoyed the crab cakes served with mashed potatoes and a spinach salad. My 19 year old ordered bacon wrapped meatloaf on her birthday and was so pleased. Our table also had the burger with fries and chicken fried chicken, both were very tasty. The server was very friendly and made our night extra special by bringing a birthday hat to our table. Thanks for having a safe place for my daughter to eat out at for the next 4 years.
