They have very good vegan/gluten free donuts that I recommend highly if you have allergies like myself. They even made sure that my donuts were seperate from the others so that they didn't get any other pieces of donuts on them.
I love the classic diner feel, and Metro delivered on this experience. Mary was an excellent waitress with southern charm and very caring.
I had their infamous chicken and waffles with strawberry butter and sweet and spicy sauce, and it was fantastic. The waffles with syrup drizzled on top were soft and melted in my mouth. The chicken paired with the sweet and spicy sauce was near perfection.
My girlfriend got the BBQ Bacon Burger, a side of hash browns, and apple cobbler without ice cream.
This place is super accommodating to people who can't have gluten or dairy, they even have a specifically gluten-free menu.
The price for our food was just over 40 dollars for the two of us. It's a bit pricey but worth it.
I'd recommend this place for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner needs (they even have breakfast all day for my fellow "breakfast for dinner" lovers).
Marley was our server and was super friendly, so sweet, & helped me navigate my gluten sensitivity issues with options! It’s new to me so she was very helpful in deciding what to get!
El barrio is one of Birminghams restaurants. You can expect to wait on friday and saturday evenings due to the high demand for delicious food at a reasonable price. The servers work harmoniously during busy times and have a streamlined process so that you have the best dining experience. They are gracious about accommodating dietary needs and restrictions which is so welcome due to the Birmingham food scene largely lacking that. The only things that could make them better is gluten free churros on the menu.
Try the queso!
I’m from New York and on the way to the airport, I wanted to find a nice brunch spot somewhere near. I saw the reviews and pictures of this place and thought it would be a great place to try. The moment I come in, I already love the vibe of this place. Not only that but our server was very nice and friendly. We got the Farm Breakfast, Smash Burger, and the Royale Sandwich as our mains, along with the gluten-free blueberry muffin. And let me tell you they were absolutely delicious!! We also ordered a Matcha Latte with oat milk and the Golden Monkey Latte, and the drinks were phenomenal. They were so concentrated and the flavours were so rich, it made me love Matcha. Overall as a person who just was looking for something light to eat on the way back home, this was amazing! Anyone near this area must try this place out! I definitely recommend getting the dishes we got but if you wanna try something else I’m probably sure it won’t disappoint. If I am ever back in town I will definitely be coming back!
Fantastic food, amazing waitress, gluten free menu with a great selection. I had the Floridian Omelette with real crab. Very rich but amazing. The cheesy grits are just grits with cheese on top but excellent food for the price! Highly recommend
My food was fine but my wife got the gluten friendly pancakes but they kept coming out raw on the side, very doughy and not flaky. Management and our server were very nice about it though and removed it from our bill. We will go back but may not get the pancakes again.
A hidden gem for anyone with dietary restrictions! As someone who’s gluten-free and vegan, it’s so hard to find places that truly accommodate my needs especially while traveling. This spot was a lifesaver. They offer gluten-free sourdough (which is rare and so good), tons of smoothie options, and the kindest staff. I have a pretty complicated coffee order (self-proclaimed coffee snob), and they nailed it perfectly every single day. I came here every day of my 5-day trip it’s that good.
This place is exceptional! For a careful eater like myself, Tina made it so easy to substitute the gluten & dairy free preferences. The food was delicious. I had a phenomenal lunch.
BOOK A RESERVATION! Seriously, if you don't book a reservation, you may not be seated because this place gets packed.
The truffle fries are ridiculously good with their custom-made condiments, a curry ketchup and basil mayo.
This is also the only place in know of in all of Northern Alabama that is serving a Hangar Steak. If you aren't familiar with this cut of meat, that is because it isn't usually sold by butchers because they keep it for themselves. Do not ask for it to be overcooked, medium or more, it will become chewy.
Gluten free friendly. A family member is severely allergic and has never had an issue here and we've been multiple times.
We had a great experience. We placed an order from out of state. A 50th anniversary cake. Ruth and her staff were excellent to work with. The cake wasn't ready when we came to pick it up and she delivered it to us at no charge. The gf df red velvet cake was amazing. The non gf crowd didn't even know. We were impressed and would use The Inn Gluten Free Bakery again when in Alabama.
This isn’t entirely The Hound’s fault but, I informed the waiter that I have a gluten intolerance and I ordered a burger on gluten free bread with tater tots. She didn’t inform me that the tater tots weren’t gluten free, I was sick for the next two days because of this. They were good but, I feel like she should’ve let me know that.
I took the recommendation of a friendly barista and had the Cuban latte with oat milk and a slice of the gluten free cinnamon coffee cake. Neither disappointed! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is great.
Ordered gluten free doughnuts for my mom for Mother’s Day. Asked for “Happy Moms Day” doughnuts with floral and pastel. Not super happy with the decoration since I placed my order a week in advance, but I should’ve been more specific. I was told to come before 12 on Saturday and got there around 9 AM and my order wasn’t ready. However, the doughnuts tasted amazing and I was glad to be able to give my mom doughnuts she could eat for Mother’s Day. Would def come back and buy regular doughnuts instead of doing something custom.
I recently visited Another Broken Egg Cafe in Huntsville, AL, and I was thoroughly impressed! As a vegetarian, it can be challenging to find good options when dining out, but this restaurant exceeds the expectation. They have an entire vegetarian menu, and they’re very accommodating about making adjustments to items on the regular menu as needed. They also have a gluten free menu.
We went early on a Sunday morning, before the crowd that often comes prior to church services. The place was quiet and peaceful, which made for a very enjoyable dining experience.
I ordered the Southwest Scramble, removed the meat, and added spinach and mushrooms. It was absolutely delicious! To enhance the flavor, I requested sour cream and hot sauce, which were the perfect finishing touches. The breakfast potatoes were a standout—perfectly crisp and wonderfully seasoned.
As someone who loves lemon in my water, I was thrilled when my waitress brought me plenty, just as I requested. She was very attentive, promptly refilling our drinks and water throughout the meal.
There was a small mix-up when someone at our table ordered an item not realizing it included bacon. The mistake wasn’t the waitress’s fault—it was ordered incorrectly—but she still apologized sincerely and replaced the dish quickly without any hassle.
While the food and service were fantastic, it’s worth noting that the meal was a bit on the expensive side, costing about $20 per person. However, the quality of the food and the excellent service made it a special occasion option.
Another Broken Egg Cafe is a great spot for a delicious breakfast or brunch, especially if you’re looking for vegetarian-friendly options.
First let me say, Sarah C. was one of the best servers I have ever had in Mobile, Alabama. She was knowledgeable, kind, and helpful! As someone with Severe Celiac, I don't often feel safe eating out, but she reassured me and made sure my food was cooked properly and I did not get sick!! (which is a HUGE win for me!) Sarah was incredibly personable and treated me with kindness and respect. In future visits, I will be asking to sit in her section because she took such great care of me. It was so reassuring to know that she has people in her life with celiac, which just boosted my confidence in her abilities and knowledge!
Our favorite place in town. They can gluten free the fried things for my parents and offer lots of sides to my children’s delight. Love every staff member I’ve ever encountered and that’s at least a dozen. Sweet people and great food.
Melt is always delicious. Comfortable environment. The food is very good. And a huge bonus is that they have gluten-free bread so we can have gluten-free sandwiches. We even had gluten-free avocado toast. That is a big win!
The food pictures and rating is why I decided to try this place. It did not disappoint! Food was fresh and well seasoned. I had the Harvest bowl and if you struggle with gluten or wheat or have diet restrictions...I feel they do a great job of accommodating! The place was clean and the guests and servers were nice. This was my first visit to Alabama and Huntsville and I will be back. Thank you, you have a pleasant establishment.
This may be the best coffee in Huntsville! I used to stop at Honest in Nashville and was thrilled when they opened one up in my hometown. This is high quality coffee that I only take away the star for how expensive it is, and the charge for a non-dairy milk.
As someone with dairy sensitivity and a husband with a severe dairy allergy, it is frustrating when places that are already pricy charge extra for something you cannot go without.
Other than that, the vibe here is so cozy and is always busy. I love that they also carry some Mason Dixon gluten free pastries!
While I can’t afford it daily, this is always a fun stop when I want a special coffee.
There’s a reason you’ll see people lined up for a table on the weekend. No brunch place competes with Another Broken Egg. The food is cooked with love and huge portion sizes. I recommend the Sunrise Scrambler and the City Potatoes. Brooklyn was the literal best server we have ever had. She made sure to offer us options with my gluten allergy and our drinks never ran dry
So, we all know this is the best coffee in Mobile AND the customer service is genuine and unmatched. But there’s always someone that goes the extra mile, and that was Hailey! I’m 19 weeks pregnant and have a gluten sensitivity, but she made sure I got my gluten free biscuits and was just so so sweet! Love this new location and the people in it!
One of the better places to eat on Dauphin Island. Expect a wait but the view is beautiful. The food and drinks are pretty decent with good sized portions. We’ve been here several times over the years and the service is always good. I wish there were better vegan options. But there are a small handful of gluten free options.
I never write reviews but I felt the need to share my experience. It’s so hard finding gluten free restaurants and broken egg is my go to spot for gluten free pancakes. I recommend this place to everyone but after today this is my last time eating here. I’ve been gluten free for years now due to my severe gluten allergy. The service I received today was absolutely horrendous. I was with my family we all sat together. My mom ordered a pineapple mock tail drink. Her throat and lips were irritated after drinking it. That happens sometimes with pineapple it’s a weird fruit. She told the waiter, he got the female manager and the manager was EXTREMELY passive aggressive the moment she walked to our table. My mom shared that she was having a slight reaction to the drink. It was delicious but she was afraid to keep drinking. The manager asked if we should call 911 in a sarcastic tone. My mom said no she would like to have the drink without the pineapple juice. My mom was very polite. The manager says well the drink you ordered doesn’t have pineapple juice. My mom was confused and I interjected… it DOES have pineapple juice that’s the first ingredient. The manager was gaslighting us until I requested the drink menu back and it had pineapple juice. The manager said whoops my bad. Lots of attitude and sarcasm from the waiter. After that situation, 10-15 mins later the food comes out I ordered three gluten free pancakes and I received only two. The waiter comes out walks over and addresses me directly.. he says hey do you want the third pancake and I said yes (of course I want the three gf pancakes I ordered??)… long story short what I received was NOT gluten free pancakes. I had the same reaction I always have when I’ve come into contact with gluten accidentally. Swelling. Almost like edema/inflammation it takes days sometimes weeks for it to go away. The same manager comes I told her what’s happening. She said oh no should I call the ambulance (SARCASTICALLY) I said I would call the ambulance myself I’m not having an anaphylactic reaction. I promise I would not be standing here talking to you if I was dying. But I always get gluten free pancakes this is not gluten free. The texture everything. Four bites in and I KNEW these were not gluten free. I didn’t care to know how or why but it was not gluten free and I was reacting. My parents confirmed they tasted exactly like their pancakes. She claims it is gluten free. Nevertheless, I told her I’m reacting. Not here to debate with you on if the pancakes are gluten free or not I’m actively swelling this never happens here and I just want a refund. I gave her my plate of pancakes back. She argues with me about what symptoms look like for her celiac best friend. All I wanted in that moment was a refund not a passive aggressive, insinuating I’m lying for no reason, nasty attitude. Never eating here again. That manager is bad news. Never had an experience like this before at broken egg.
I got a salad bar with salmon and my party also got the Rice Krispie bar and a grilled cheese tomato soup combo. It is on par with other Jason’s Deli and I appreciate the options for dietary restrictions like gluten free bread, etc.
This is a great place for a sandwich and a salad bar. We lost our Jason’s Deli at home years ago and were very excited to have lunch here. It was just as we remembered it. They have gluten free bread for sandwiches! The service was great and the place is very clean.
Visiting from the Little Rock area. We had a reservation for another restaurant and didn't want to wait, so we came here. I'm so glad we did! I had a great gluten free club and the salad bar was all fresh. The staff was SO friendly! I'm kinda sad I don't live here!
Billie Jo was an excellent my server and our breakfast was very good. I have celiac and must eat gluten free so I love knowing this is a place I can go and not have to worry about a reaction.
Ashley was amazing!!!! FANTASTIC SERVICE.. food and atmosphere! Worked the area for 6 years and never came in. Glad I did!!
AND.. GREAT Gluten-free options! Wagyu burger with bacon and Gluten-free bun....HOLY crap good!!
The food was wonderful for me and my wife but the best part was our server Justin! We ordered the Rosada Whipped Feta appetizer and since my wife has Celiac's we are usually careful about what we get but we missed the fried jalapenos part and had to get a new appetizer and Justin was incredibly sweet and accommodating. For the rest of the night he made sure to check in with all the food and make sure everything was perfect, absolutely amazing experience and we will continue to come back!
My daughter has Celiac Disease and we told our waiter that she had to have only gluten free food. We even asked if the fries were fried in a separate fryer from the breaded chicken, and he assured us that the fries were fried separately. He led us to believe that he notated the order to make sure no gluten contact could happen. She was up all night sick throwing up, so she clearly was fed gluten. The bill was $93.12 for three people, and wasn’t even that good. It is very disheartening to pay almost $100 for food then be up all night throwing up. I will definitely never return to another Cheesecake Factory and definitely encourage anyone with Celiac Disease never trust eating at one.
Loved it here! Really cool vibe and they were allergen friendly. I’m gluten free and dairy free, and they were knowledgeable and accommodating. Thanks!
