Parking was a little tricky but we were so glad to discover this popular BBQ spot. The beef brisket was fantastic!! Gluten free options were available. Kids meals were perfect for the kids. They loved the BBQ and the fries. So very glad we checked it out.
Best gluten free bakery! The chocolate chip cookies are perfection. The brownies are rich and delicious. Everything I have tried from Emily Kate has been great. I’m so glad they are now shipping across the country. Also, the staff is extremely friendly.
The breading was WAY too salty, but very grateful to have a gluten free option! Additionally, the employees were very kind and the establishment was clean.
Okay. I do love caffetteria or at least the idea of it, so I’ll still give them a 4, but this has happened too many times not to share. Every single time I’ve gone here they forget something on whatever dish I’ve ordered. When you charge what they charge, you just can’t forget key ingredients (or any ingredients).
Cobb salad is a $17 salad - it’s marked at $16 but usually not enough dressing so I paid an extra dollar for a tiny little container of extra dressing. They forgot the avocado, arguably a key ingredient. They’ve forgotten bacon in the past. They’ve forgotten egg in the past. They’ve forgotten something on nearly every menu item I’ve tried.
Overpriced. Food is good, not great. Nothing too remarkable for the price point. It’s a cute place, though. Vibes are good. I like the idea of it. There aren’t too many places that are healthy fast casual in the area so it’s nice to have the option, but it’s annoying to have to check every time to see if they remembered the key ingredients.
Green goddess dips and chips - fab.
Hummus - no pita bread available.
Variety of sandwiches - good but nothing special.
Variety of plates - great idea, comes out a little lackluster.
Pb&j toast - ugh it is delicious but ordered this for a toddler, and I had to scoop off a layer bc there were full peanuts layered on the top of it and it was served on a very seed-filled bread - both of which most young toddlers can’t quite handle yet. My bad for not asking for a full description of it.
Breakfast items - pretty good.
Pizzas - delicious.
Bakery - great.
Coffee - pretty amateur. Not great at making lattes or specialized drinks from their menu. And why is a not so great mocha $8?
It’s fine. It’s cute. They forget important ingredients often and charge a lot for pretty standard food. If you need something after you’ve ordered, good luck finding someone to help you. Oh a positive here - if you order a salad chopped it is very perfectly chopped. And decent effort and options for gluten free. I’m sure I’ll be back, and you should go too. Like I said, the vibes are good, the branding is cute, but lots of simple sloppy mistakes made at a price that’s a little too high for what it is.
Gorgeous decor with friendly waitstaff and delicious Thai fare. We had a table on the rooftop terrace, which felt nice on a cooler summer night. It was also less noisy and felt more conducive to conversation than the dining room downstairs. Recommend the rooftop if you’re on a date, or with a smaller party. The gluten free offerings were great- basically a variety off the regular menu made without soy sauce. I had the drunken noodles, and it was fresh and flavorful. My date had the pad Thai, and I loved the level of spice for the medium dish (my idea of mild). Will definitely return to try more on the menu!
I've always loved this restaurant because it's a great place for a girl's night, work happy hour or a date night. It's become more of a favorite lately because they have so many great gluten free options.
I visited a few days ago with several friends to celebrate my birthday and our server, Dave, was worthy of an outstanding review. Dave was very friendly, extremely knowledge about the menu and drinks and fun! His customer service was the highlight of the night though. He was very kind and accommodating when I had an issue with the unexpected level of spice in my meal. I'll definitely be back and request to sit in Dave's section going forward.
I love the fact that they have a full gluten free menu!! The blueberry gluten free pancake was absolutely amazing. The food came out very hot and delicious. Will definitely be back.
Listen, they do the best impossible burgers ever and their ranch is amazing. But maybe don't try something new...
The deviled eggs: don't make me laugh, might as well have eaten plaster it was so boring. And why 3 halves? Weird.
The drinks: "is this vodka kombucha?" is the exact phrase my bestie used for her vodka cranberry. It was awful. My espresso martini was chunky and sour (yes I know cold brew if not made right can be sour). Considering we already had to order different drinks than our original orders we just drank them.
General food is amazing here, love their gluten free options. They just need to work on the small things that make a meal.
Drove from Kansas City, Mo just to check this place out. I am celiac and loved all the options I had. Got the cauliflower tiki masala and it was delicious. Server asked if I needed GF or celiac safe. Made me feel comfortable eating there. Will definitely be returning soon.
These products are some of the very best gluten free treats I’ve ever had in Lawrence. I’ve been a loyal customer to OO Bakes for several years now, and I’ve truly been impressed with every new thing that I try from them. The cookies, muffins, and brownies are all amazing and you wouldn’t even know they’re gluten/dairy free!
I’ll admit- the products are a little bit on the expensive side (especially compared to normal bakery items), but OO Bakes is worth every penny in my opinion. The bakers clearly put a lot of effort and care into their craft, and everything on display is fresh and portion sizes are excellent.
Located inside of Checkers, near the frozen food section (they used to be in the back corner near the other bakery items). There’s a lot of other good gluten free options in the freezer next to the OO Bakes products.
Thank you OO Bakes for helping me get through my time in college and making a gluten free lifestyle more enjoyable!
Formerly our favorite breakfast place that we have ever been to period. Unfortunately they changed the gluten free pancakes. Now they are thin and not that great. I do appreciate they are celiac friendly
We’re in Salina, KS. Excellent Italian dinner. Separate gluten-free menu. GF stuffed mushrooms!! Every bite of our food was a treat. Hand-stuffed blue cheese olives and a well-crafted Negroni. The staff were super friendly too.
I have celiac and consistently love this place ! The serving staff is always kind and today, I believe the kitchen manager came out to tell me he ensured my food was prepared gluten free
Love this place ! Great service and amazing food
I ordered spinach omelet and potatoes, no bread and informed the staff I have celiacs. I was sick before I left the restaurant. They offer gluten-free pancakes but I was told they are cooked on the same surface as other pancakes. This is not celiac safe.
At Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Q having PROPER KC Burnt Ends. Melt in your mouth!!! my sister and I both have a gluten sensitivity so it's good to go to a place that takes it seriously. I loved how they had their gluten-free buns right up front away from everything that could possibly cross contaminate them. Each individually wrapped just so you know. Finding Kansas City burnt ends that aren't fat floating in grease like they are at a certain restaurant in Saint Augustine, well, it can be difficult. You can't call him KC burnt ends if you don't do it right. It was wonderful to have proper melting your mouth not too much fat not too burnt burnt ends. If you know you know.
Haley was our waitress and did a great job. The food was pretty good too. My options were limited because I'm gluten free. Looking forward to trying the GF Souflee.
First, they have a pretty solid gluten free crust that even the nonGF people in my family enjoy.
Second, their service is fast! In a Sunday night our to go order was ready in 10 minutes when they had almost a full restaurant.
Third, they have a rewards program. Who doesn’t love free food? Not me, love me some free food.
Only downside, the GF crust doesn’t absorb grease real well. Had some pizza grease all over my hands while eating, but that’s part of the experience I guess.
Visited on a Saturday morning and there was a 10 min wait for a party of 2. The food was tasty. They have a good selection of gluten free items. I was not a fan of the iced tea (tasted like they used gunpowder tea or added smoked wood). The gluten free pancakes and cinnamon French toast were really good.
Service was slow; took a while to get drinks/order taken and the only other time we saw our server was when we got the bill. It was very busy so I’m guessing she was in the weeds, but it wasn’t the greatest experience.
We will probably visit again next time we’re in Wichita.
We stopped here on our cross country trip and so glad we did! This was by far one of the best coffees we had. We got the salted caramel cappuccino and it was brewed perfectly with just enough sweetness without being overwhelming. You could taste the quality of the coffee! Cinnamon roll was scrumptious as well! They even had gluten free bakery options which is hard to find. Plenty of seating. Friendly service. A local gem!
From start to finish- this restaurant, this food, this experience was a whole vibe! Highly recommend! We were welcomed with an open door from the manager, greeted by a LOVELY smile from a lady named Ms. G. She was welcoming, dressed like she loved her job and greeted and knew regulars names! Our server was no less miraculous! Kait was welcoming, asked us if we had ever been here. She was thrilled to recommend all the best things for our first time experience. Bonus- she gave us a sampling if the biscuits and gravy since it was our first time! AND not ONLY that- she was cautious and asked us if we had any allergies she needed to be aware of before submitting our order! STELLAR SERVICE!
The bathroom had an incredibly meaningful wishing wall. Go check it out! Spreading positivity!
The food- holy macaroni! We got the stuffed french toast and streusel blueberry pancakes. Highly highly recommend both! They make gluten free pancakes which were fluffy and tasty and you'd never know!
The other manager was dressed incredible- suit jacket, shirt and a welcoming smile! Thanked everyone for coming.
Everyone seemingly truly loved the job. Kait seemed to know all the regulars and was so grateful to see all the families talkjng yo all yhe kids and engaging with them all! I would come back for the service ALONE .....and the food being incredible would be a BONUS! 🙂
A MUST VISIT LOCATION!
This place is hands down one of my favorite spots in Lawrence, KS. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and overall service is always fantastic. They offer gluten free, smoothies, a fun side menus for the season, pastries, and even more. The atmosphere is a great place to get work done, studying, or even a catch up with friends!
As a Functional Nutritionist I can’t express how wonderful it is to know there’s a place where myself and clients can still enjoy time out with friends and family while not compromising our nutrition goals. No seed oils and so many gluten and vegan options! And the food was amazing!
I was pleasantly surprised to have a BOATLOAD of gluten free options, including a breakfast sandwich on a GF biscuit. I’m so happy to find another GF option in town.
The food was great and reasonably priced. There was a large gluten-free menu to choose from, and the servers were well versed in understanding a gluten free diet. Can't wait to go back!

I like Rudy's because their salads and gluten free crust are pretty good but every single time without fail they mess up a part of my order. I end up not getting everything I paid for and it's really frustrating.
Hake was an absolutely fabulous waiter. He completely understood the severe gluten allergy I have and was the first person ever to only bring one plate for my husband’s jalapeño cornbread. He gets it and I was absolutely amazed and impressed. Kudos friend.
Meddys, a popular Mediterranean eatery in Wichita, has garnered rave reviews for its authentic and delicious offerings. Patrons particularly praise the attentive service, where several servers ensure diners have everything they need without having to look around for assistance. The food, described as the best around by some, includes favorites like the chicken shawarma platter with garlicky potatoes, lamb shawarma, and a variety of dietary options including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian choices. The ambiance is also noted, with a cozy atmosphere and an inviting patio that’s especially enjoyable on warm evenings. However, it’s worth noting that the interior can feel a bit crowded, particularly for wheelchair users .
Another location on Ridge Road also stands out for its exceptional service and food quality. Highlights include the hummus eggplant soup, bangin’ beef shawarma, and a family hummus shawarma platter that serves five. The attention to detail is apparent, with staff double-checking orders upon pickup to ensure accuracy, which has left many customers impressed and satisfied. The garlic potatoes come highly recommended, and the kid-friendly meal options are praised for being substantial yet affordably priced .
In summary, Meddys has established itself as a go-to spot for Mediterranean cuisine in Wichita, offering a blend of excellent food, commendable service, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps patrons coming back.
I am so glad that I discovered this place! They even have gluten-free items! The tea was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was great as well with their quaint decorations. They also have outdoor seating and serve dog treats.
I was diagnosed with Celiacs last year and they are so knowledgeable about what dishes can/cannot be made gluten free. I’ve never had gluten cross contamination and this is pretty much the only place I get food from now that I don’t have to worry about. Despite that, this has been my favorite Thai restaurant I’ve ever eaten at!
My husband and I stopped there traveling from Colorado to Oklahoma. I have celiac and have a hard time eating away from my "home area" because of that. They do have a separate gluten free menu which made my life much easier. We ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer, and it was mind blowing. For entrees I ordered the lime grilled chicken and highly recommend that. My husband ordered the ribeye and on his first bite closed his eyes in bliss. We also had the cheesy corn, pit smoked beans, and veggie skewers. Everything was fabulous and we will definitely be stopping again when we come back through. Our server was an absolute sweetheart and kept our drinks fresh and let us know the status of our order from time to time. When she found out we were traveling, she proactively offered us to-go drinks and wished us safe travels. So whether you're traveling through or in the area, we both highly recommend you stop in and give them a try.
I ordered a catered lunch for the staff at my office today. Lunch was a huge hit! The management made sure to lettuce wrap some of the burgers for the gluten free folks. Communication was excellent. Some folks who had never tried the veggie burger said it was the best they've ever had. Thank you for a great lunch! Will be ordering it again :)
We came and got two apps, two pasta dishes (ONE GLUTEN FREE), a couple drinks. Everything was super good and the service was great. Carson was amazing behind the bar. Cute atmosphere and they offer a military discount.

Excellent drink (both coffee and cocktail) and food options. The waffle breakfast sandwich is tasty and different from the usual coffee shop options - and there is a nice selection of gluten free pastries. Coffee is always perfectly made and the Mai Tai was authentic to the original recipe for the drink - not overly sweet. I love that you can enjoy a beachy vibe in the middle of Kansas during winter! I also love that they lean into the beachy vibe without appropriating native culture :)
We order from this Lulu's location often. We like that they have gluten free options. We love their gluten free Thai chili wings. I really like the diakon-carrot slaw that comes with it. I like that their spring rolls are with tofu instead of shrimp or another type of meat. I also like the mild yellow curry dipping sauce that comes with it. I took pictures of our carry out order that included the wings, spring rolls, gluten free tofu fried rice and chicken pineapple fried rice.
Downside to this place is parking is slim, which is why we tend to do carry out more than dine in.
Mel was AMAZING tonight and had our orders down to the T. My wife has celiac disease and she was very aware of what she could and could not have. If you haven't been it's a must!!
The halibut was so good that my post about it on Facebook got my account restricted. You can either use your imagination to guess what I said or go try it yourself. I highly recommend trying it yourself.
Additionally, I am celiac and found them to be highly accommodating. My only complaint is that this restaurant is several states away from my home.
