Gluten-Free Restaurants near Eau Claire, WI

“The seasoning is overpowering. It's not a place for older adults who need to limit their salt intake.“

“I absolutely love The Informalist and have a five-star experience nearly every time I come here! From the ambiance to the service to the food, they consistently knock it out of the park.

HOWEVER, we dined here last night, and I have to say, the airline chicken was extremely disappointing. I’ve ordered this dish before and was really looking forward to having it again, but it has been completely reworked. The last time I ordered it, it was a savory chicken thigh with a delicious sauce and cornbread. It was comforting, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite dishes on the menu. When I ordered it on September 18, 2026, I was surprised to receive something entirely different. It was essentially a chicken breast served with untrimmed green beans and felt like a completely different dish from the one I remembered, and not worth the $38 price tag.

The rest of our meal was phenomenal, and I still love The Informalist, but if a dish is going to be changed this dramatically, I really think it needs a new name or a clearer description on the menu. What I received was simply not what I was expecting based on my previous experience with the dish.

For reference, the photo with the dish in a bowl is the airline chicken on a previous visit. The photo with the pizza in the foreground is from last night.“

“It’s nice to have something different to grab n go, instead of burgers and fries. Even if you order in the restaurant, your food is ready fairly quickly. My only negative comment is that there’s not enough sauce. The last time my bf and I both got really dry noodles. No one likes dry noodles 🍜 🍝“

“I have been going to Altoona family for years over a decade at least and when my son was in an accident in 2022 the owners made sure we were taken care of when we ate there, special pancakes with sprinkles and whip cream. Now today I went there with my son and I ordered my usual and the owner paid for my meal.. This restaurant surely is amazing and all over the best family restaurant in our area and Im not just saying this because of a free meal. Everytime I go there she (the owner ) is always talking to me asking me how I am doing just like a family catching up, plus the service great food and prices is why I will continue to go back time and time again and support such an amazing family! thank you for all that you and your staff do!“

“Great food, great service, great workers. This place is different than any other. I love it.“

“Key helped us out with the most beautiful pizza for our salon branding shoot, the pictures turned out amazing. I'll post them if I figure out how on here. Love Jim Bobs!“
