HOLYYYYY MOLYYYYY. Everything we tasted was absolutely lip smackingly delicious and we cannot wait to come back to taste more 🤤 Best parma we’ve ever had, juicy fried chicken and even the salad was so good! Thank you for keeping the kitchen 100% GF which makes it a safe haven for us coeliacs too. See you again soon!
Burger burger is a great place to eat.
As a fellow coeliac, the Gluten Free burgers are made with care and safe :)
The burgers certainly will not disappointment.
Plenty of parking available both out the front and around the corner near the station
A wonderful restaurant with beautiful food, ambience and staff! Lemongrass beef vermicelli was fantastic and flavourful, staff were so attentive and personable, and the place was absolutely packed on a Tuesday night! We were even given a free panacotta dessert, what a great experience 😊
(Also- so many gluten free options, yay!)
Wonderful, soothing lighting and not too many tables squashed together. Not too loud either, you can hear your conversation. Our server was so attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the drinks cold. They do take away meals too so we got our dessert to take home as we were full but the food was so good we didn’t want to miss out on something tomorrow. I love that nearly everything is gluten free.
Highly recommend the gnocchi and the venue.
I asked for a lactose free hot chocolate and was given oat milk, which contains gluten. As well as given seasoning on my meal that also contains gluten, after stating clearly that I was gluten intolerant. Staff are not knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and intolerances.
This cafe is a hidden gem! With an impressive selection of Gluten Free (GF) and Vegan Options (VGO), it caters to a wide range of dietary needs. The charming setting offers both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for any occasion. The Padre coffee is exceptional, and the breakfast and lunch menu is solid, featuring a delightful array of bagels, including GF options. The American-style menu is a treat, and we were thrilled with the delicious brisket and asparagus. Plus, the staff was accommodating, allowing us to customise our sides to perfection. Highly recommend!
Fantastic cafe! We popped in as it has a number of coeliac gluten free options. The food was great! Between our table there was a hanoi rice with char Siu pork, hanoi rice with tofu and grilled kaffir lime chicken with rice & salad. We all loved our meals and will be heading back to try out the other menu options! Cafe was buzzing and the staff was great! Very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!
Low key set-up but serving up the best tasting, juicy and well priced burgers I've had in a long time. Of special note is that Mofo Burgers caters really well for coeliacs. Their gluten free burger buns (at extra cost - as is the norm) are super soft and fresh. Heaps better than what Grill'd serves up! I shall return.
Amazing food with heaps of gluten free vegan options. The salt and pepper tofu vermicelli salad is my go to, paired with a salt and pepper tofu rice paper roll. Never disappoints, even when delivered, still incredible
Fresh, good quality food. Large variety menu and most important for me catered to gluten free.
Also received a discount voucher to use for our next visit.
Within 30 mins of ordering, my pizza was delivered. Thats the first of many praises I have for you.Their gluten free pizza is well prepared and good for coeliacs. It's great tasting, great quality food with a delivery service that is reliable. You have instructions, they read them. Such a great experience that I have made my Favourite place go to for gluten free pizza.
It was amazing with a massive array of smoked meats , pulled meats AND gluten-free fryers for popcorn chicken, ribs, chips etc. We forgot the table was only booked for two hours but the staff happily found us a table near the bar to finish our drinks. The staff were on point and attentive. The bar staff were fantastic especially under pressure. There was always a line for drinks but you got yours pretty quick.!
We had a table of six and the meals came out extremely quickly considering the whole place was packed!
Having three coeliac’s at the table it was fantastic to be able to actually eat popcorn chicken and fried food knowing that they have a separate gluten-free fryer.
ALLERGIC REACTION!
I’m a coeliac and can’t have food with gluten. My boyfriend and I ordered 1 normal pasta and 1 gluten free pasta for myself. We ordered it to go, the man who gave us the bag of food literally stared us down until we walked out of the store.
At home I opened up the pasta and thought to myself ‘this doesn’t look gluten free’ stupid me ate it anyway instead of taking it back. I had an allergic reaction and now have to take up to 2 weeks off at work to recover before I go back!
Im absolutely disgusted! Not sure if it was the girl who took our order, and she didn’t care whether to put down as gluten free pasta. Or the kitchen but this is definitely not tolerable
What a beautiful place the food and services was great it's a hidden gem first time there and I will be back. Plenty of gluten free food and vegan great place
Great service, coffee, food and atmosphere.
Lots of dairy and gluten free options. Definitely recommend.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 6.30am. Just under Quest on Nepean Hwy.
Street parking available but tricky to find at busy times. Lots of parking behind in shopping centre. Shopping centre has free parking on Sundays.
El Camino Cantina was absolutely amazing last night! Had a friend’s birthday have never been before. Heaps of gluten free options and have lots of good deals on food and drinks. Tim was our server and he did an outstanding job! Going above and beyond for us all we were very impressed. Thank you soo much for having us! 10/10 would recommend
Our LOVELY efficient waitress Alana was *magnificent* in recommending GLUTEN FREE snacks, meals + cocktails.
We were on a time restraint unfortunately so we landed ourselves here.
The service was fast + friendly.
The burger was tasty! 🍔🥓🍟🍹🍹
The booths were super comfortable + well spaced.
(I have never eaten at TGIs, as I don't usually eat diner style, it was a great impromptu place for a catch up).
Please let my young little waitress know she was amazing (unfortunately cant remember her name). I came to have dinner with a friend yesterday at 5.30pm. I haven't seen my friend in over a year and she helped me direct my lost friend to Miss Pickle. She also knew the Menu and suggested a few options as I am on a gluten free, dairy free, no added sugar diet and honestly I normally would have stayed home for that reason but this was a special occasion. Thank you for looking after me and making my friend and I feel welcome. Food was also delicious, compliments to the chef, and she also put ice in my water and suggested lemon slices. It's the little things. Please give her my regards and let her know shes doing a wonderful job. Highly recommend this restaurant and am a very happy customer.
Good coffee, good food, and always friendly service 🙂. Scones with jam & cream go very nicely with a latte ... or gluten free toast is available if wheat isn't your friend.
Good simple burger. Well cooked - not dry or dripping in fat. Not over loaded like a lot of burger joints where it’s difficult to eat.
Good gluten free options.
Chips are excellent.
What a great place to have a Party! We had our nieces and nephew’s 11th Birthday Party, with our family of 15 people. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The kids loved the play area, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and we could all talk and hear each other. The food was well catered for- half of us are gluten free and dairy free- and the pizzas were great. Plenty of choices! All in all, we had a great time and will be back again! Thanks you for making our day amazing!!
My wife and I recently stopped in for brunch. I ordered poached eggs and bacon on gluten-free bread, while my wife chose a pizza. When I looked over the menu, I noticed no clear indications for gluten- or dairy-free options, which made things a bit tricky as someone with dietary needs.
Thankfully, when we asked, the chef was very helpful and accommodating, which I appreciated. That’s why I settled on the eggs, there just weren’t many other suitable choices available. One egg was cooked perfectly, the other was unfortunately overdone. The bacon could’ve used more time on the grill, and only one side of the gluten-free bread was toasted.
The table we sat at was a bit sticky and slightly wobbly, which made eating less comfortable. My wife’s pizza was topped with a heavy amount of cheese, so much so that the oil was running off the top. The base tasted like it may have been pre-made, though we can’t be sure.
There were some positives, especially the chef’s willingness to assist, but a few things left us feeling a bit underwhelmed.
I've been an extremely loyal customer and recommender of Miss Pickles since the very first week you opened many years ago.
In that time I've seen a number of menu changes, the very slow introduction of desserts and a kids menu, celebrated many birthdays and occasions here....but a very noticeable difference in service since you started opening more stores. This had sadly resulted in a noticeable high turnover of staff, errors being made with orders, misinformation of the menu and sometimes quite slow service.
I keep coming back despite this, as my family and I enjoy the food. Unfortunately, I think I've now reached the point of no return. Since when does a souvlaki bowl come with super salad??? That I noticed last year. Tell me where in Greece this is served instead of Greek salad which is tradition and how you've always done it. That's not my issue, I used to swap it with no problems and no charge. Today, unfortunately I was charged extra to change the salad...why? (I didn't add the salad, i swapped). Firstly, nobody informed me I'd be charged when I asked to swap, nor the cost of this. Secondly, the super salad is more expensive on the menu than Greek salad? Greek salad is traditional, so i dont understand super salad being the chosen one. That is a very specific salad choice. It used to be years ago that greek salad was standard and when friends of mine wanted to swap to super salad, this was charged extra as it cost more. Also, why not list the swap cost on the menu for people to see like you do with the addition of poached eggs to your brunch? People should legally be informed. Why even charge extra, though? It's literally just a salad swap? No cooking, separate fry pan, gluten free bread, soy milk is required which is usually where you'd expect to pay extra for a swap. The salads are there and ready to go.
Goodbye Miss Pickles, it's been lovely knowing and visiting you, but the power trip has got to your head now. You will lose customers like you've lost a very loyal one in me.
👋
Great food tasted very authentic. The main benefit is that there is a whole menu for gluten free people which is rare and many people search reviews for such places. Highly recommend
Absolutely love this store, the food is outstanding one of the best I've ever had and the people are extremely kind and generous. The pricing is reasonable. They cater for halal, vegan and gluten free aswell. Very happy every time I go here. And the place is so busy so it can often be a bit of a wait to enter but so worth it.
Tasty burgers and ribs in a fun and casual setting. Bar is cool to hang out at. Staff are always warm, friendly and accommodating. It's great to see more gluten free options appearing on the menu.
I cannot fault this place. The girls are lovely and tonight with my own fault of not reading the menu properly as I can’t have gluten I ordered a dish with gluten, and when it came out and I realised I screwed up, they made me a whole new dish that was gluten free and didn’t even charge me for the 2 dishes, just one. We come here maybe once a week to once a fortnight. It’s always our go to. Highly recommend!!
