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!!
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.
As someone with celiac disease, finding safe and delicious gluten-free options can be a challenge, but Pondicheri absolutely delivers! Their menu has so many naturally gluten-free dishes, and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. It’s such a relief to enjoy incredible Indian-inspired food without worrying about cross-contamination.
Everything I’ve tried has been packed with flavor, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special night out. If you’re gluten-free (or just love amazing food), this place is a must-visit!

Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!
The food is delicious and the portions are generous, with plenty of gluten-free options available. However, be prepared for a wait, as there's usually a line and parking can be quite difficult.
We arrived Saturday around noon and didn't have to wait. Food is always fabulous and the staff are friendly and attentive. They have lots of gluten free and vegan options. Love this place!
This is a fantastic restaurant for anyone, but especially vegan, vegetarian and gluten free people. I have a gluten allergy and fit some reason they have a couple things on their menu that contain gluten.. One of their sauces, in particular, that seems strange to offer since it's not that amazing of a sauce? Anyway, if you have a gluten allergy, be careful.
The food and atmosphere are lovely. We love going to this place!!
My boyfriend and I chose this restaurant, despite its distance from our gate, precisely because of the reviews. Our gate is at Gate C, and we walked to Gate E, where Pappadeaux is located. Airport restaurants usually have the worst ratings, but this place has 4.5 stars, and after visiting it, I understand why. First, their service is some of the best I've ever received. They took the time to cook our dish two different ways, since my boyfriend is allergic to gluten. They were always attentive to us, even though the place was packed. The food was quite delicious, highly recommended!
Tonight we had our church volunteer appreciation dinner at Carrabba’s. What an awesome night!
The restaurant looks stunning, even more so than usual with all the holiday decorations.
I have been coming here for many years, and it is always beautiful and an amazing experience.
Tonight Ishmael and Darwin and the support staff were wonderful. I never had to ask for my glass to be refilled, or my plate to be taken.
No small task with 25 people in the room for dinner. Being a former server it always is a breath of fresh air to receive excellent service, especially in this day and age of lackluster experiences at most restaurants after 2020.
Every modification I asked for was kindly given to me, which I really appreciated because of being gluten free but still wanting the chicken Marsala. They had a smile on their face after any request that was made by anyone at the table, and I felt like family as I sat there.
It was absolutely delicious! The chicken Marsala here is probably the best I’ve ever had. I ate the chicken Marsala at one of the franchises of Carraba’s at the airport in Atlanta in October and it was not even close. It didn’t even compare to how delicious the food is here st the Original.
The servers even knew exactly when to close the doors so that we could have some quiet while we ate, visited, played a game, and went around the room to talk about the past year and our grateful hearts for our church family and our pastors.
Although I do my best to give compliments instead of complaints, I don’t always succeed in remembering to do it.
However, I had to post a review now while I was thinking about it so you would know how happy the whole group was with the meal and the service.
Thanks for always being consistently great, guys!
Very good food, place and people. My wife has a severe allergy to gluten and took really good care. Kudos to Katy who helped us :)
*I hope I have the correct name for her. Sorry if I'm wrong LoL
Absolutely love them! Service and food is amazing. I am dairy and gluten free and love that I can super yummy crepes with dairy and gluten free options! Wish more places offered that!
Wonderful crepe spot in citycentere with delicious options and very attentive staff! A little busy and a little on the loud side, but otherwise an enjoyable experience and worth a stop if you’re in the area. Expect to pay $20-$30 per person. They do have vegan and allergen friendly options on the menu such as gluten free and dairy free. Parking is a bit of a chore, and most of it is paid parking, but there is some free parking available if you’re lucky and willing to walk.
Happy hour.
We arrived in time for happy hour. The house margarita was great.
The happy hour food menu was valued priced.
We started with the happy hour guacamole. Excellent flavor. The salsa is excellent.
I tried the beef taco, fish taco and smoked chicken skewers.
Everything was very good.excellent place for gluten free.

We just finished celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary at The Melting Pot and couldn’t wait to leave this review! From start to finish, the experience was amazing. Our server, Andrey, was so friendly, attentive, and full of great suggestions. Once he found out I have Celiac, he made sure everything was safe and gluten-free — and did it with such ease. Honestly, the BEST gluten-free bread I’ve ever had at a restaurant! Every course was perfection.
The kitchen manager, Michelle, even came by to check in and make sure everything was just right, which meant a lot. The drinks were fantastic too — highly recommend the Espresso Martini and Tawny Port!
To top it all off, they surprised us with a “Happy Anniversary” card signed by the whole staff. Such a thoughtful and special touch. Thank you, Melting Pot team, for making our celebration unforgettable!

OMG!!! Amazing!!
First: make a reservation!! I did and avoided a 2 hour wait.
Second: service is excellent!! Don’t rely on your waiter/waitress, everyone chips in!
Alejandro was our waiter, excellent! Made great recommendations.
I had the Thai ribs and my wife had the salmon. Told a waiter my wife had a gluten issue. He changed her order to include a side of cauliflower instead of the wheat based grain. Everything came out hot and fresh straight from the kitchen to your table. No wait time flavors were amazing. Portions were huge definitely could’ve shared either one of our plates had old fashions to drink mixed perfectly. Had the cheesecake for dessert, light fluffy, no crust or flakes and not a sweet dessert perfect for after dinner Definitely recommend this for a date night or even a family gather.

Our experience at this Italian restaurant in Houston was nothing short of excellent! We chose this upscale gem specifically for its extensive gluten-free options, and my wife couldn’t have been happier with her meal. Our server, Alejandro, was fantastic—crafting the perfect cocktails and providing attentive service throughout our visit. He even surprised my wife with a special gelato, which made her evening extra special!
The kitchen did a remarkable job with every dish we ordered—each plate was not only delicious but beautifully presented. We were truly impressed and can’t wait to return every time we’re in Houston. This place is definitely a keeper! Highly recommend!
Black Walnut Café is such a great spot for a casual meal with tons of options! As a celiac girlie, I appreciate that they offer clearly marked gluten-free choices and that the staff is knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. I felt safe eating here, and the food was delicious! Whether you’re grabbing brunch, lunch, or dinner, it’s a solid choice for anyone needing gluten-free options in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Great gluten free options and it is delicious. The prices are a little high and the sides and drinks are on the small side. I paid almost $3 for a bottle of Diet Coke to find out it was a mini one.
Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.
We are in this restaurant this afternoon for lunch. I eat gluten free at my doctor’s direction. I ordered brisket and eggs. The brisket was served over grits and my husband ordered the gluten free pancakes for us to try. Everything was so delicious! Although next time I would cut the coconut from the pancakes. I also got a Hibiscus Rose Kombucha and a cappuccino.
I don’t write reviews ever but I just want to say that this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Our server Shannon went out of his way for me with a gluten sensitivity and was so patient and then to top it off gave us a hand written note thanking us. Best first watch experience I’ve ever had!
can’t believe i’ve been living in houston almost 20 years and i never even knew this place was there! as a person that doesn’t eat meat, this place is great! lots of options for gluten and dairy free, too.
Great To-go version of my favorite Gluten-friendly restaurant 😀 Quick service, deliciously beautiful food, and friendly staff! The burgers are good and come with optional sides, and the sweet potato fries are the best in Houston. Challenge y'all to find better. They take food allergies seriously and welcome you to tell them of your special dietary needs so they can accommodate. I have wheat and corn allergies and I eat my gf menu items here safely.
First time dining at Black Walnut Cafe. It was busy (as it was Easter), but there were plenty of seats. This is a “seat yourself” establishment, which is not really clear until until you walk into the restaurant. Once my party walked in, there was plenty of choice seating. The servers were professional and friendly and the food was good. The portion sizes were just right, but the gluten free pancakes were a little dry (even with syrup). The kids gluten free cheese burger and fries were good as was the Mac and cheese and grilled chicken. The experience was pleasant and we will definitely visit again.
Extra $3 for gluten free options. The coffee is good, Crêpes are also good. I prefer the house coffee it’s more than half the price of the other iced ones.

This is definitely the BEST Filipino restaurant in Houston, probably Texas too. Their food is super tasty and doesn't look like a pile of slop like typical Filipino food does. They are also super accommodating to food allergies which I have yet to encounter another Filipino restaurant that does, especially gluten. Highly recommend the fried rice, lechon, cola adobo, wings, bistek, bbq skewers, any of their cocktails, and of course their Halo Halo!
One of my favourite resteraunts- Consistently excellent food, (the blackened salmon is definitely a fave) with gluten free and vegetarian options, as well as amazing staff over all. Lu took care of my partner and I and she was so attentive and incredibly friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
I enjoyed the crepes I tasted and my gluten-free waffle. I was glad they had an option for me. Coffee was great, and the service was friendly and helpful. The cook even allowed my friend to instruct him to make her crepe must the way she likes it. Excellent!
Our department lunch was amazing. Pleasing a diverse group of 25 people is hard but their three courses pre-fix menu worked well with vegetarian and gluten free choices. The service was impeccable. They have wonderful holiday decorations to add to the atmosphere. Very very pleased.
