It's basically a fast food order when you get there. Then you seat yourself and the person that takes the order brings you your food. Everything else is up to you. I was stupid enough to tip them ahead of time thinking that I was going to receive service. I received a couple of ice with a shot of coffee for $6. $16 for a gluten-free egg and avocado sandwich. $3.99 for a half a bowl of fruit. My daughter ordered a burrito and when she lifted it off of her plate it just dripped grease. I guess some people like it like this but the potatoes are soggy hash browns. Cost $58 for two breakfasts. A burrito, some soft & soggy hash browns with a smoothie and a gluten-free sandwich, iced coffee, with a half a bowl of fruit. $58 Like I said, it's pretty much fast food, with cafe seating. You help yourself

Awesome bakery filled with breads, cookies, scones, gluten free treats, soups, olive oils, etc. Storefront has seating with board games. Owner has been running this location for 16 years. Super friendly. You can tell everyone working here likes what they do.

The chile rellenos were the stand out, and available as gluten free. The short rib fell off the bone which was nice, but not quite the flavor I was hoping for it to have. I would recommend skipping the pasta here as the flavor lacked luster. I would come back if I was in the area again, but only for the chile rellenos.

Absolutely delicious and the cake presentation was fantastic. They have gluten free options and croissants!

Frances Dairman

Good gluten free options.

The gluten free buns are the best I've had in a long time. Tasted almost like croissants. The cashier's were super nice too.

This restaurant is completely mismanaged. They were unable to properly prepare my online order. I also did NOT get the gluten free bun I PAID for. There was cheese on the other burger & my kid cannot eat cheese. When I went back to ask them to refire or refund my order they were UNABLE to do both. The manager had already left them for the night despite the fact that they were UNDERSTAFFED. The cashier was not trained how to do a refund & there was nobody else there to do it. When I picked up my order the restaurant was NOT busy. In fact it only took them 10 minutes to prepare my order. But they were still unable to follow the written instructions for my order.

For living in a desert it is absolutely awesome to get a warm lobster roll. And the fact that their bowls can be made gluten-free isn't added bonus.

My favorite gluten free food for lunch! Plus coffee for cheap until 2pm, what a great deal!

Bangkok Grill & Knockout Cafe in Tempe is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in the Valley. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of authentic Thai spices welcomes you like an old friend. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to help you navigate the impressive menu, which features an inclusive range of halal, vegan, and gluten-free options. I ordered the Pad Thai and Panang Curry, and both were absolutely bursting with flavor—perfectly balanced between sweet, spicy, and savory. The Thai iced tea was the ideal complement: rich, creamy, and refreshing. Portions are generous without being overwhelming, and the plating is beautiful enough to snap a photo or two. What really sets this place apart is the care and creativity that goes into every dish. Whether you’re a Thai food veteran or new to the cuisine, Bangkok Grill is a place where your taste buds will feel at home. Highly recommend for a casual lunch, cozy dinner, or anything in between. This spot is a must-visit. Your cravings will thank you.

The gluten-free version of their grilled breakfast sandwich was perfect. I requested grilled corn tortillas to replace the bread. When I got served, I sprinkled it with Tapatio, salt, and pepper. You have to request it. It's not on the menu. I'm used to making requests to accommodate my gluten intolerance, and the staff and cook were on it. Other plates ordered were mango and coconut crepes that were unique, tasty, and plentiful. Friendly service, accommodating kitchen staff, good food. We should support this restaurant !

This place has a great selection of menu items both drink and food that cater to a ton of different allergens and food preferences! The burritos can also be done gluten free by making it a bowl! You just have to make sure you communicate your allergy and the staff/chef are willing to accommodate if they can! The portions are filling and the quality of food is tasty and well seasoned. I would recommend a stop in!

Serious breakfast and good variety. Will cook the eggs as you wish. Alas, no gluten free bread or pancakes, but will substitute corn tortillas.

Not the Cinnabon but Schlotzsky's. My gluten free vegetable sandwich was so good! They were very careful preparing it so as not to get any cross-contamination!

I went to the Crepe Bar today because I was interested in trying one of the vegan crepes listed on their menu. Once I arrived, I asked the employee handling the front if the vegan crepes had dairy in them to be safe. She let me know that the crepes themselves did have dairy but they have a gluten free option. I ended up going with the Creamy Avocado and Jammy Egg Toast, which didn't have dairy. The egg was a bit strange cold but overall it was alright. I ordered a side a Fried Brava Potatoes and they were delicious. Overall the food was okay, I might go back just for the potatoes. However the menu is a bit misleading, so just if you can't have dairy or are vegan the crepes aren't an option.

03/05/21- CELIAC REVIEW. I went for breakfast with a friend. The restaurant appeared clean with proper Covid-19 plastic barriers between the registers & guests. Tables had "sanitized for your safety" cards on them. Oh, & outside there were marks taped off at 6 foot intervals for when the lines got long. All of the employees were wearing filtered masks. I did not visit the restrooms. The wait for service was a tad on the longer side considering my friend & I were only sharing the room with a another table of 4. Our server came to ask about drinks & if we were ready to order at the same time; would have liked to get our drinks 5 minutes earlier at least. I have celiac disease (this means I cannot ingest any wheat, barley, rye, or derivates thereof) so have a restrictive diet when eating out. Denny's has a decent enough selection for savory items, but they do not offer things such as waffles, pancakes, or french toast (like IHOP does). Meats, eggs, veggies & potatoes can be prepared gluten-friendly. They do have a decent gluten free English muffin, but you need to ask for either a non-gluten dedicated toaster or have your English muffin wrapped in foil. I am also Pescatarian (don't eat land or air meat) so I chose a vegetarian omelette with hash browns & a side of blue cheese dressing. The food came out quickly enough but they forgot my dressing. Per pandemic protocols, ketchup & Tabasco sauces were brought to us upon request in little plastic cups; no bottles on the tables. The food was warm. I have to say, though, the omelettes were just okay, not great. Veggies were grilled with a bit too much oil & crammed into a very simple scrambled-&-then-fried egg that was merely folded in half. The egg was a tad rubbery as well & I'm not sure how they managed that. The veggies (peppers, spinach, onion, mushroom) was all pretty tasty without being over or under cooked. My hash browns were a bit on the oily side, but well cooked, while my friend's were too oily & burnt half to a crisp (yuck). Our coffee (black) & diet Coke were just fine. So I'd say that I'm really not impressed with this Denny's & would likely try to find an IHOP or Village Inn instead next time. It's not a "bad" place, just not my favorite considering my particular food choices & their quality.
