Not the best experience. Our waitress gave us indifferent answers about how the gluten free food is prepared. We ended up having to talk to the manager (which is something I hate asking for). The food ended up being okay and I didn’t have any reaction. It was nice to have gluten free mac and cheese! I think our experience would’ve been much better if we had a more educated waitress

The best dinner i’ve eaten in Chicago. Gundis’s food, atmosphere, and service are second to none. Before dinner, my friend and I were feeling stressed and looking for a nice dinner. Upon entering Gundis, I instantly felt my shoulders relaxing. The chairs we sat in were so comfortable (!), the menu super clearly labeled (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan), and our dinner (newroz pasta & salad with chicken) was delicious. highly recommend the Kurdish tea and Turkish coffee, too! Can’t wait to come back!

*Also posted on the Find Me Gluten Free (app)* My partner (celiac) and I went to this location last weekend. Everytime we eat out, we tell the waiters of my partners celiac and 2 weeks of pain to help paint the picture and ask for the gf menu. Luckily, their menu was already marked so our waitress said those should be safe for celiacs (though I now see others here that said their waiters said it was not safe), there is not a dedicated gf fryer, and that they’d let the staff know. Even though they said that, the way they said it came off like they didn’t super care, so we’re unsure if the staff actually does have these safety discussions. Which sounds like they don’t take cross contamination seriously, since my partner did get sick. Which is quite a bummer since we really enjoyed the food and the vibes of the place. We were going to definitely become repeat customers if it was safe, since it is in our area, but we will not be returning. For just a food-based review, there are a good amount of options labeled gf where you can have a good, quick meal. The sushi itself is not the fanciest, but it curves the cravings and it’s right for the price point (~$10-$20 per roll). We loved the taste of the one pink (highly recommended) signature roll. We ordered 4 rolls total for 2 people. Again, take that all with a grain of salt since it’s not actually gf safe.

Great place for my lunch break. The lunch specials are so so good, really well priced & fast. Love the soup too, and it's ready so quickly. (For gluten free they will give you rice or tortilla for the bread, and they have a lot of other gf options on the menu..)

My family and I came here on our way to the Cubs game. Bluebird did not disappoint! It was hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The keto/gluten free chicken is quite tasty. The fries are phenomenal!! We continued to talk about how good the food was hours later! The portion sizes were excellent. The ambiance in the restaurant is welcoming and pleasant. The staff appear to take much pride in the food and are quite friendly. We will definitely be back and will tell others of our great experience!!!

A nice place to have breakfast. The waiter was friendly and welcoming. The place did seem understaffed. There was only one waiter who was helping multiple people inside and out as well as seating them. However he was very good at getting orders in and getting food out to you. I hope he gets some extra help in the future. The food was great. They have gluten free bread and pancakes which was very nice to see.

Amazing time spent at Pancake Cafe. We sat outside and soaked in the sun accompanied with aperol spritzes and cappuccinos. I was transcended back to mornings in Italy. Our server, Angie, was attentive and pleasant beyond belief. Both the regular and gluten free pancakes were delicious and fresh. Honestly the best gluten free pancakes I've had. We cannot wait to come back again!!

Love the atmosphere here! Very cozy and intimate, with some nice outdoor tables in the summer. Great wine selection, good food options, including many vegetarian/pescatarian/gluten-free choices. I thought the sole fish was amazing and I enjoyed the Malbec wine, which pairs well with any dish. The service is also great! Very nice staff and usually pretty quick service. Also, you can bring your dog if seated outside. I highly recommend if you were interested in trying Turkish or Mediterranean food!

Great step up from a diner. Love the food, service and speed. The ingredients are fresh, and labeled well. If you want to eat gluten free, vegetarian or any choice you want or need, it's easy. The chorizo hash is perfect, crunchy potatoes, perfect eggs and guac make this my go-to. The fresh fruit and granola is my other favorite. The coffee is fantastic, not diner coffee. They brew it fresh and it's perfect. Service is fast and efficient without being pushy. If there's a wait they take your number and text you when ready. Simple things, but everything done well. In a pinch the counter is a great place to grab a meal too.
