Newly diagnosed celiac here. Came for the "Real Cheeseburger" on a gluten free bun and it it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Will definitely return. The staff were knowledgeable and assured me my food would be celiac safe. When it arrived to the table, we were asked first where the gluten free burger went. The sodas were good and fries very delicious!
While staying at the Hyatt, I found this place online for a friend with gluten allergies. There were many doubts and some in our group wanted to turn back as we walked there. Man were we happy we didn't listen to the naysayers!
This place was awesome! The outside doesn't look great but the inside is very quaint. The staff were very nice and the food was simply amazing. Most of the group went back the following day.
Really good food, decent price and atmosphere. Gluten free. The thoughtfully crafted gluten-free offerings, such as the French toast and well executed smashed potatoes, are a testament to the kitchen’s attention to detail. I really like the complimentary tap water scene they have on the patio
This was my first time visiting the restaurant. I was in town for a wedding and googled. Having celiac and egg allergy it not always easy to find a good place with good options, but I was amazed by the food here. I went back a couple time's before leaving. This is going to be my to go spot always when in SA. Staff were great, atmosphere is very cute and friendly and did I mention the food ....it was AMAZING, so delicious, great variety , it made me like a normal person enjoying food actual regular food and not having to worry about getting sick!!! A definite win!!!
We came here to celebrate our son's 23rd birthday as well as his upcoming graduation from The Culinary Institute of America, and it was well worth every cent!
We did the tasting menu and shared everything family style. The food is dairy and gluten free as well as plant-forward. That said, the braised shirt ribs did not disappoint. We left full and happy.
If you're dining with someone who doesn't like vegetables, bring them here to change their mind.
Great with the order once we requested allergy protocols for gluten-free food handling for a celiac kid; even traded out a shake when it was ordered with cookies and cream and we forgot about GF sensitivity momentarily. Great service!
The food was delicious, I was able to have chicken fried steak and gravy gluten free!
The waiter was very knowledgeable about their gluten free options as well as gluten allergy/ Celiac. There is not a separate gluten free menu however almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free and they have a separate prep area/ fryer. My only issue was it was kinda expensive, very yummy though!
We absolutely love this restaurant and eat there at least once a month.
One of the big draws from me ore. Originally, choosing this restaurant was the delicious gluten-free menu. Any authentic food.
Three of us had a late lunch here today and the food was fantastic. One of our party members has celiac so the menu being almost completely gluten free without having to ask for substitutions was why we gave it a try.
We tried the mozzarella sticks, fish and chips, banger and mash and finally the sticky toffee pudding cake. Everything came out very hot and delicious with generous portions even from the lunch menu.
Service was great as well. She knew the dish’s ingredient information and was very kind and attentive.
Service is always top notch! The food was excellent, the creme brulee and drinks were awesome! I love the fact that they have so many gluten free options. Definitely will be back!
Drove the 3 hours to Dallas just to come here and it did not disappoint! Incredible gluten free foods and those seem so hard to find these days. Absolutely delicious and everyone was so nice! I’m 100% going to come back!
I’ve been eating here for years and taking all my celiac friends as well when they come to town. They are always blown away by the GF selections and how even for an Italian restaurant, it’s extremely celiac safe. Their one complaint is that they need to buy bigger pants due to the weight gain. Thank you Kenny and team for everything you do to include the GF/Celiac community within your dining experience.
Now, check out all of Kennys other restaurants, cause they are safe too!
My daughter has celiac and we are always looking for decent basic bread options. We were both very happy with the rolls and white bread from Pie Jacked! Nice texture and much better than the store bought breads. Definitely recommend stopping in for some breads to go The location is small, and the staff was not very friendly, but the food is good.
This was a WOW for me. We were just passing through and asked some locals for a breakfast cafe nearby. We were to Bluebonnet Cafe and Tea Thyme Cafe. Once they said they offered gluten-free options, I was sold. If a place offers gluten-free options, they are sure to offer lots of fruit and veggie options and be very careful with their menu. I’m so glad we chose this one. The staff was SO kind and patient. The omelette was THE BEST I’ve ever had, with so many veggies, real eggs, and mozzarella cheese. I’ve never had an omelette with mozzarella cheese before. They also had a side called “enchanted mushrooms” and it was so amazing in flavor. I wish we had this restaurant back home. I’d be there weekly!
Delicious, nutritious and fresh food. Familiar with gluten free diet and nice options (gf crepes, bread, etc.) Nice choice of teas and coffee. Comfortable seating.
I ordered gluten free items on the menu (told the server I have Celiac - he said he had a celiac button on the register). The food did not come out with the gluten free flags. As someone with celiac, this is a great comfort to know the food was prepped with caution and not mixed up in the kitchen!
Love the patience and genuine friendliness of the staff, and the food was good! You can tell thought was put into texture and taste. Nice and casual spot for your omnis, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten abstaining besties.
So glad to be living in a state where Ike’s is readily available. Always prepared with care, and the gluten free bread is so good that I’ve wondered if it was really gluten free before! Just ordered a bunch of sandwiches for friends, and they were impressed and satisfied. Ike’s, keep it up.
Really cool place in downtown Tomball. We went there because my neutered heard there were gluten free options, and she wasn't misinformed! Tons of pastries, desserts and sandwiches that I could actually eat. Highly recommend.
I can’t say enough good things, every experience I’ve had here has been great. I’m gluten free and visit family in Galveston a couple of times a year but just found this place. Everyone has been so helpful when I’ve had questions. I’ve tried the gluten free pop tart, gluten free cinnamon roll, gluten free key lime pie, and gluten free vegan meatball pocket and gf v curry pocket and it’s all been soooooo delicious. It’s all so flaky and moist and some of the best gf pastries I’ve ever had. Their matcha is fine, kind of bland and too sweet but their iced tea is tasty especially when paired with a nice sweet treat.
Cannot recommend this place enough and I’m so glad it exists!
As a long time customer of True Food Kitchen - for more than 4 years - what initially interested us was the healthy non GMO, Gluten Free menu that does not use unhealthy seed oils (like Canola/Rapeseed Oil) in its food preparation. Since then, True Food has made some slight changes to its menus, including the use of controversial Vital Farms products as well as changes to its gluten friendly pizza dough and hamburger buns, however the one thing that has NOT changed - and is the best part of the restaurant: its employees. Ask for Chantal, Yuyu or Aaron - those are three of the best restaurant professionals you will ever meet! Their can do attitude, combined with their amazing ability to connect with customers is the REAL secret weapon at True Food Kitchen on PostOak. My family can eat at any restaurant in Houston, but we choose to eat at True Food Kitchen on Post Oak because we are always given excellent service and shown kindness when we eat there. Every restaurant should figure out how those three team members work, and copy it exactly - as a customer you leave having had a good meal, and GREAT service. Kindness, always served with a smile - and if there is any problem at all with your order, they are always quick to rectify the situation. You will never sit around with an empty glass of tea if you are being served by Aaron, Chantal or Yuyu. They always put the customer first - which is why, as long as they are working at TrueFood, we will always eat there! Give it a try - and ask to sit in their sections - you will have the best dining experience ever! Thank you Chantal, Yuyu and Aaron!!
My wedding cake from Unrefined Bakery was a huge success! Their team was helpful from the get go helping me design a wedding cake, taking into consideration my budget and guest count. The cake tasting was incredibly helpful, and we ultimately went with a strawberry vanilla 2-tier cake. They even provided me extra icing in case the cake got bumped in transit (which it did!) and I needed to patch it up. We ended up only having a few pieces left because all of our guests loved the cake. Would highly recommend for anyone gluten-free or not!
Nice place but not the menu for me. If your a healthy food eater who really needs gluten free this is the place. I'm almost 100% sure if you fit the description I just listed this is the place for you.
⚠️ BEWARE IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE ⚠️
If you have celiac disease or a serious gluten allergy, please be extremely cautious eating here.
This was my first visit, and unfortunately, my medical needs were completely disregarded. I clearly stated that I needed a gluten-free kolache, but I was still served one made with wheat. When I returned to let them know, the woman who took my order showed no sympathy, offered no apology, and made no effort to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation.
This kind of negligence could lead to serious health consequences, and it’s unacceptable for staff to be so careless and dismissive when it comes to dietary restrictions that involve medical conditions.
Despite the horrible service, I will say the cupcakes were actually very good. But unfortunately, that alone isn’t enough to make up for the risk they put my health in.
Very pleasant experience. The waitress told me “we take allergies very seriously here. We don’t have a seperate GF menu because the majority can be made GF”.
All of their sides are gluten-free, their chicken tenders are gluten-free, queso and chips are gluten-free. Also, the gluten-free bun for the hamburger is pretty good.
Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.
I was very impressed by this pizza spot. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. Had the loaded queso dip, taco nirvana chicken pizza, and the mighty meaty pizza. All had fantastic taste. They even had delicious gluten-free options available for one of my neices. 😋 Can't wait to visit again.
Great for Celiac! Gluten free bun was one of the best I have had. Not too dense and not too dry. Meat was fresh and burger was tasty. They yell out Gluten when you order to alert the kitchen. All sides are GF and if you like fried pickles these don’t disappoint! Not a location near me so I won’t go out of my way to eat here but worth it if you are in the area!
Food and service was i just wished the seats were cleaned the bench i sat at was stickky other than that my gluten free bread turkey and tots were delicious.
I'm sad that Counter Culture is closing but grateful that I was able to enjoy it for so many years. This place was ahead of its time, offering vegan options before they were readily available at grocery stores, food trucks, etc. The cashew cheezecake is amazing, and I ordered several of them for my birthdays over the years. The gluten free mac'n cheeze is also out of this world. Thank you, Counter Culture, for showing us that we don't have to torture animals (or our own bodies) to enjoy our favorite comfort foods.
"We really enjoyed our experience! The atmosphere was family-friendly, and I appreciated the thoughtful menu options — they offer gluten-free fries and buns, along with chicken and turkey patties. Great spot for anyone with dietary preferences!"
My entire family has celiac and this is one of our safest places with great food! Most of the food is gluten free and we’ve never had cross contamination issues. If you want something with a bun make sure to specify that you need a gluten free one, otherwise they’ll assume you don’t need one.
Great donuts, lots of vegan and gluten free options. I wish I had found this place sooner.
I recently tried something other than the donuts here, wow. The macarons are perfection. I went to pick up some as a treat for the office and also got myself a kolache. Everyone was raving about how good the macarons and cake balls were. The kolache was amazing, the texture and flavor were masterful.
Celiac friendly
