Gluten-Free Restaurants near Southern Pines, NC

“Ashten’s is always a favorite of mine and of course Valentine’s Day was another great experience. From the beautiful atmosphere and decor to the amazing service. Fresh, local ingredients and great selection of cocktails and wine. Highly recommend getting an appetizer, entree, and you certainly can’t skip dessert. Zarah, the pastry chef is a true magician. Overall 10/10 experience and I’ll surely be back.“

“Honestly one of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend!“

“I put this one star review in and the next day was contacted by the owner/s. They told me they felt bad about the situation and wanted to personally deliver the scones that I had ordered to rectify the oversight. I even told them that I lived in Fayetteville and they said it didn’t matter it’s what they wanted to do. I have to say that that says a lot about someone when they see that you’ve had a bad experience and they’re willing to go out of their way to make it right. At first when this happened I was willing to write the business off and not return, but seeing that they care that much, I will be returning. (Leaving the original review to show the situation that happened and what they felt led to make right) The scones are the best I’ve ever had. Their customer service and organization not so much. I’ve put in a bulk order online two days in advance, get to the store to pick it up and they are looking at me like I don’t know what I’m talking about. Then they check their system and see it in there and then proceed to tell me that they don’t have the scones I ordered, because they didn’t put it together, so I ended up canceling my order and getting a refund. They told me it is best to call or come into the store to put in bulk orders. A few months later I do just that, I go into the store put in my bulk order and was told they could have it ready at 2pm. Go into the store and they don’t have my order. Same employee as last time told me oh well it’s just like last time we didn’t check the system. I told her I came in in person and out this order in at 7am and she then proceeded to tell me, well it must’ve been an oversight, so I had to get my money refunded to me yet again. Although their scones are the best I will not be returning because of this reason.“

“I usually walk into big-box chain restaurants with pretty modest expectations. The food is usually fine, the service is fine, but nothing that makes me want to rush home and tell people about it. Yesterday, though, Bonefish Grill completely flipped that script.
From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The host seated us quickly, and then we met our waiter, Nick. Let me just say, Nick deserves a standing ovation. He struck that rare balance of checking on us just enough without hovering. Professional, friendly, and on top of things the whole time. Honestly, he set the tone for the entire meal.
We had our drinks refilled without ever needing to ask, and the bread they bring out… wow. Whoever decided that bread should come free deserves a raise. It was warm, fresh, and disappeared way too quickly.
For dinner, I went with the fish and chips, which hit the spot. I asked for a lemon, and Nick didn’t just bring me one, he brought me a grilled lemon. That is the kind of above-and-beyond detail you don’t even think to ask for. Meanwhile, my wife, Tracy, had the Baja fish tacos, specially made less blackened because she didn’t want too much spice. She loved them.
Then came dessert: a seasonal fall cheesecake that looked like it belonged in a food magazine. And the best part? It tasted every bit as good as it was presented. Rich, creamy, and honestly one of the best slices of cheesecake I can remember having.
Here’s the funny thing. We weren’t even planning on going to Bonefish Grill. We were heading to Char Bar originally, but they were closed. At first, I was disappointed, but now I’m thankful. If Char Bar had been open, we would have missed out on one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.
So to Nick and the staff at Bonefish Grill: well done. You turned what could have been an ordinary chain restaurant dinner into something memorable. We will definitely be back.“

“Had a great experience last weekend eating here for dinner. Great atmosphere, our food was fantastic and so was our server, James. The owner, Jeff also made a point to come talk to and get to know us. 10/10 experience will absolutely be going back again soon!“

“A burst of fresh flavors and sunshine in “The Ultimate Falafel”. My wonderful friends, Marca and Alex brought lunch to me today introducing me to Roast. I will be stopping by during my future travels through Carthage NC. Fresh food has such unique taste and texture. If you enjoy healthy great food then this will become your local “let’s go to” location. Check out the website for local entertainment events.“

“I came in for the first time this morning and the traditional scone and lavender latte was phenomenal! The employees were so kind and welcoming! I will be back for sure!“

“Great customer service and great cupcakes. I highly recommend this place! A must visit“

“Excellent! Thank you! We love your food!“

“This is a really nice place to meet friends for lunch. Soup and a sandwich, please! Never had a bad plate, the cook really cares about your meal. The croissants melt in your mouth. It feels like everything is responsibly homemade. The patio is like a garden, huge and surrounded by trees, not traffic. Inside, lots of 2 and 4-top tables that can be combined for larger groups. (No booths.) Easy and close parking. Plan to take something from the bakery section home, you won't be sorry you did.“
