After being celiac for 3 years, I can tell you eating gluten-free in Houston is normally not much fun. There are very few restaurants that are knowledgeable about celiac disease and how careful they must be in order to avoid cross-contamination with gluten from other sources. Normally I end up with a plain salad with plain grilled chicken just to be on the safe side.
But Ruggles Green seem extremely promising to become my gluten-free haven! Not only have I had the Hudson Farm Chicken special with French-cooked style chicken and seasoned vegetables completely unaltered to fit my needs (hence, no gluten ingredients) three times over the last two weeks, I have also been back for the delicious Quinoa mac&cheese several times. The staff seem very aware of the issues that Celiacs have (although always ask specifically about each dish!). I spoke with the manager who told me they are also working on offering Gluten-free PIZZA in addition to gf BEER - I am so excited!!! If they pull that off, I don't think I'll eat anywhere else!! PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN! I will bring my whole family to eat there all the time!!
Pros: Delicious gluten-free meals! Value, location, general atmosphere!
Cons: None!!!
