Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

Beautiful restaurant, efficient and friendly server. It was fantastic that their gluten-free menu offered a wide variety of options. Excellent Chocolate Martini and the Creme Brule was perfect. We will definitely be back.

I highly recommend any of the burgers, pizzas, and especially the chicken tenders. LOVE

My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.

Endless food and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/mixed drinks is a hell of a way to start a weekend. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and there were plenty of options for gluten free eaters.

Delightful place. The food is amazing, the space is cozy, the atmosphere is neighborly. It is a local pub with really cool maps on the wall. They offer delicious vegan (and soy free !) food. It can even be gluten free. Service is great and friendly.

I was really excited to go here and get gf crepes. The reviews made it seem super safe. We walked in a the staff was not friendly whatsoever, the girl practically threw the cups and water at our table. I was watching them cook the crepes and they cleaned everything with what looked like chemical cleaning spray. I was also nervous because I could only see the one container of nutella that they were using for all of the non-gf crepes and was questioning if they would open a new container. They didn’t, I watched them use the exact same knife and container for my crepe. Overall disappointed.

Lots of gf options! The manager explained the menu which was clearly marked with many gluten free options. We enjoy the cheese curds from their dedicated fryer. Thanks to the Find Me Gluten free app for helping us find a celiac safe dining opinion in North East Iowa!

Our first visit, was recommended to me for the gluten free options. Pleasantly surprised by the number of choices, including sides. We opted for the pulled pork nachos - the highlight of the dish was the smoked meat and homemade salsa - both were delicious!! Unfortunately the nachos came out 1/2 heated and had to go back to bake a bit longer (think that might have dried them out and burned the chips). Service was great!

Heather Turnmeyer

Great food, gluten free bun and vegan burger offered.

Shalen & Tiff DeBrower (Tee)

Great place if you have celiac family members!

Kristy Droll

We had a wonderful meal at Tony’s. My daughter has celiac disease and there were so many gluten free options. The GF mozzarella sticks were AMAZING!! So nice to have gluten free options.

My family and I came to eat here on 6/20 because of the dairy free and gluten free options, necessary accommodations for some of our family members. The vibe was alright; we called ahead and were seated promptly. The outdoor play area was a neat touch. The server was friendly but did forget to place the order for my 2 year old, which was frustrating. It was highly concerning that our food came out so quickly. My husband and I ordered the Fried Bologna Sandwich; it was greasy and gross and I could not eat it. My brother-in-law got The Dunbar, which also had bologna on it. The 3 of us who had some of the bologna ended up with food poisoning. I attempted to notify the restaurant via Facebook messenger and the 3 attempts “couldn’t send”. I sent them a message through their website, and also contacted the health department. Not a good experience and won’t be back. Update: they did reply back to my message through their website and refunded us, so I appreciated the customer service aspect to help remedy the situation.

I’ve never been to the actual bakery, but I have gotten these products from the Hyvee health market freezer section and I have to say after having the chocolate chip cookie bars and the cinnamon rolls they are both my absolute favorite desert ever; they are so moist and delicious! I have had other products as well and they are all so amazing! I hope whoever this baker is never stops! If I was magically cured of celiac and able to eat whatever I wanted I would still prefer these gluten free baked goods from here!

Tim Williams

Great burger place. Have Gluten-Free options for my daughter

Jon Doerrfeld

My wife and I had a wonderful evening here for NYE! Food and wine pairings were phenomenal and we enjoyed discussing French wine with the owner. They have a wide variety of options for Gluten Free on their menu and all the food we tried was delicious. We will be back!

Went in at evening rush yesterday to order some grilled nuggets. As someone with Celiac, it always makes me a little anxious to go at peak hours due to risk of cross contamination. Manny quickly put me at ease! His fabulous service and personality made my whole day. Thank you, Manny!! He took the time to quickly check and get answers to a few weird questions I had. He didn’t make me feel bad or like a burden to ask and took time out of his busy day to make sure I got the answers I needed! The whole team was fabulous as always, Manny just deserves an extra brag!!

Katelin Tiernan

Super gluten free conscientious on top of DELICIOUS FOOD. I will be back over and over and can't recommend enough.

Pleasant, friendly and good food. All meat and seasonings are GF. The fries are GF and the only item fried in the fryer. There is only one BBQ sauce that is not GF: texas twang. The bread/ buns, cornbread, macaroni salad, and vanilla wafers( topping for the banana pudding) are not gluten free. I don't normally use alot salt, it was a little salty for me but not enough to turn away. I'm celiac, I ordered the 5 bone baby back rib combo with fries. The two non celiac I was with one ordered the same thing I did but hers had corn bread included. The other order was spare rib combo his also had cornbread. They both enjoyed the cornbread. All of us enjoyed the dinners. The meat was very tender and flavorful on its own. We tried several BBQ sauces and the special vinegar seasoning for fries. We took some leftovers home. The staff was super friendly. Took the time to explain their process and what items I could safely eat. They also marked the ticket for my GF meal. After 24 hours no adverse reactions! We will definitely return when in town.

This food is so rich and full or culture. The flavor is bursting with every bite- I come here so often, it’s my family’s go to place. One of the workers always helps my brother with celiac disease, we just call ahead of time and he gets my brother gluten free chips, with a separate fryer, utensils, gloves, and everything. Celiac, vegetarian, vegan, child, pretty much everything friendly!

Claire Reifert

Serenity was very friendly and helpful. The food was fresh. We came because Culver's dining room was closed, and I'm glad it was. The gluten-free bun was better, and my BBQ bacon burger was delicious.

Nick Norris

Some of the best chicken tenders I have ever had. Even the gluten free ones are amazing. Crunchy with a little bit of salt in the outside.
