The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

Adapted gluten-free breakfasts, without contamination. They give you gluten-free bread if you want and the menu says what does NOT contain gluten. Celiacs, you can have breakfast in peace, my celiac wife was not contaminated.

Good gluten free (though not celiac-friendly) fried chicken, decent creamy slaw. Big portions—definitely getting your money’s worth! Sasha was a super friendly and attentive waitress.

What a great place!!!!!! Admittedly I prejudged the place as it looked too "chainy" and didn't think it'd be good. Thanks to a work lunch I've been introduced to this place, and it's great!!! There are loads of options and filling combinations available -which are REALLY delicious! I look forward to going back and trying need things. You basically select a main, add a filling (or two) and then lots of different toppings! Even better; there are gluten free options available; rice bowl and nachos Staff were absolutely lovely, down to earth, friendly and helpful Freshmex started out in Aberdeen and this is their next branch, great to see! I'm a new fan now and look forward to my next visit Price wise I think it's good; ~£12 for nachos and a drink.

Been three times in the last 4-5 months, each time the food has been spot on. Food comes quickly and on the table is a variety of well stocked sauces. The most recent visit and it looks like the menu has changed to be a lot easier for coeliacs to see what they can have (probably 75% of the menu!). We had nachos which are banging, a burger with a gluten free bun and the brisket. The only negative is that on all three occasions the brisket has been significantly different in texture but still delicious.
