Bon's New Orleans Street Food
620 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Bon's is a genuine New Orleans gem that takes gluten-free dining seriously, offering authentically crispy fried chicken, gumbo, and even gluten-free beignets that actually taste like the real deal rather than an afterthought. Beyond the impressive celiac-friendly menu, they nail those distinctive NOLA classics—think gumbo tacos and alligator bites—with the kind of care that keeps locals raving and coming back for more. It's the kind of casual, family-friendly spot where you can grab a proper breakfast or quick lunch without sacrificing either flavor or your dietary needs.”

I wish I could give Bons 100 stars!! I am celiac, and not only is finding a restaurant with gluten-free food hard, but it is even harder to find GOOD gluten-free food. I have never been to a restaurant with so many gf choices. I ordered the pork tacos, fried gator bites, and chicken and waffles. Every bite was phenomenal. I wish a Bons would open up where I live and I would go everyday.
Highly recommend if you are gluten free and looking for fried chicken or a beignet alternative! I got the GF chicken & waffles and it was so tasty. I also tried the gumbo, alligator bites and Calas (all gluten free!). We liked everything we got. Also the service was great and it was perfect weather to sit on the patio. Such a lovely location and view.
Cool spot to try some of the southern food while being gluten free! Starting with the negative, calas were disappointing. Very dense and had whole pieces of rice inside. But! Gumbo was soooo tasty and the chicken and waffles were simply outstanding! Will come back next time we are in New Orleans!
Gumbo tacos… not sure why this is not more popular, but rest assured they should be! The chicken and waffles were so good! The breading on the fried chicken was fine and perfectly crispy. Quick service and great location listening to street performances while you chow down on good food!
This place has a wonderful selection of locally inspired offerings! Lots of them are gluten free as well. One of my family members suffers from Celiac so it was a blessing to have GF beignets from here. The gumbo tacos are a must. We also had pork tacos, gator bites, duck bombs (so good), chicken & waffles and more. Plenty of outdoor seating and right across from Jackson Park. John gave us excellent service and took great care of us. Shout out to you, John! Karen, our walking tour guide, recommended this place and she’s right (as usual). Try this place, especially if you have Celiac.
