Really good service but we didn't really enjoy the food. We ordered off the gluten free menu and pasta didn't taste that great. Ordered the lobster meal but pieces were very small. Substitutions were common because they didn't have what was offered. Overall we felt disappointed in the meals.
Food is good and servers have been friendly. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they got. Sweet potato fries seemed to be a hit. I had a Cartel burger and fries, very good with just enough spice from the chorizo that it had a little kick. There are also gluten free options available if one has the need.
The sandwiches are always delicious! I'm impressed with the gluten-free bread. Most GF bread is too "spongey", doesn't taste right or is too salty. Jersey Mike's GF bread is soft and tasty.
My son and I have celiac, so eating out is a luxury! When we ordered the lettuce wrapped burger, they asked if it was preference or allergy. Told them about having celiac, it went on our order and IMMEDIATELY gloves were changed and they made sure all was separate and safe!! Awesome staff and AMAZING food!! We'll be back!
Visited at night when the place was quiet, making for a relaxed dining experience. Our server, Autumn, was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, helpful, and made us feel truly welcome. The gluten-free pasta exceeded my expectations, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It was a great visit all around!
Good place! The only reason I gave 4 stars was the cook seemed to have no idea what "gluten-free" meant as he took none of the precautions usually taken for a gluten-free customer. I had no problems but this is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened.
Everything was amazing! I'm gluten free and it was so simple to get exactly what I wanted. I did my research ahead of time and they have a gluten free guide that helped me.
Hello, my Celiac and gluten-free friends. This week I'm in Iowa City and we went to Blue elephant. Let me tell you all about the great stuff I experienced. As soon as I asked about gluten-free our waitress ( Jacqui) She was amazing and kept making sure that I am okay with all of the answers . She gave me the gluten-free menu. They seemed very knowledgeable about the things I can eat and I cannot. And she actually brought in the gluten-free soy sauce to show me and I enjoyed it very much and I was very appreciative of that. I had the spring rolls with gluten-free soy sauce and the chicken garlic with sesame oil. I felt very safe eating there. They made so many accommodations for me and I appreciate it. Delicious! If I can give them 10 out of 10 I would.
Hello to all my celiac and gluten free friends. I was in Iowa this week and I came and tried red ginger . I love that they had gluten free soy sauce :) and our server was so knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free . I had the Philadelphia roll and I believe the avocado roll. I did try the kimchi tho and I got a slice bloating from it , they did confirm it was gluten free but maybe my stomach wasn't used to it. Anyways we had a great time and I'll definitely going back
I ordered a half of dozen donuts, including Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, German Chocolate Cake, S’mores, Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting, and the Jèsus donut. They have such a variety to choose from! All of their donuts I’ve tried have been so delicious, well-made, and flavorful. My friend was excited to see they had some gluten-free donuts. Their iced coffee is good as well. I ordered the Oreo cheesecake latte. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! I will be back!
This was technically my third Barrett's experience, but the first time dining in. I SO wanted everything to be amazing... but it just wasn't. The restaurant itself looks so cute and upscale! The patio is great! Their assortment of canned goods and other items you can buy is really impressive. Their coffee was good. I had one of their "seasonal" gluten-free pastry items to go that was delicious. Here's where it goes downhill. When I walked in, I was expecting to wait at a hostess stand to be seated... I believed this place to be upscale, based on the menu and decor, right? It was Sunday around 10AM, and there were about 6-7 people milling around the bakery/coffee/entry. I thought they were waiting for coffee or carry-out orders. So, after there's obviously no one at a hostess stand, I asked the guy behind me if I had to order at the counter? He said, "Yes, there's the line." Ah! Ok, so I grab a menu and head to the cashier counter. I order very quickly, smoked salmon eggs benedict, which I get at every opportunity when I eat breakfast out. And a black coffee. I asked if I should just seat myself or wait to be seated... again, wondering why so many people are waiting in the vicinity. She said I could just sit where I wanted, outside or inside? I said outside. I paid $26.00 for my black coffee, in a to go cup, and my salmon benny. I went outside, found a seat, and was told I could grab my own water, silverware, and napkins from the table outside. Ok, no problem. Literally 3 minutes later my benny arrives. It looks OK...I'm thinking, that was super fast. Is everything cooked enough? Sadly, I forgot to take a photo! It's covered in a generous amount of hollandaise sauce....in fact, drowning in hollandaise. Ok, so some people like that! I don't. When I dug in, I noticed that the poached eggs were so lightly cooked that the white was still, well, wet, too wet. To me, that's an under cooked poached egg. I'm still super excited about the in-house smoked salmon, so I get a generous pile of smoked salmon, dipped in the goopy yolk (love that!), a little bun, and sauce, all in one forkful. I carefully take a bite. Um. Is this supposed to be cold? I tasted each item individually to test them. Egg & hollandaise were lukewarm, almost cool. The smoked salmon was cold, like out of the fridge cold. Not gonna lie, I scraped off half the sauce and ate the yolk and salmon anyway. It was good! My take: Eggs Benedict is by definition a hot dish. All of it. I get the hollandaise is probably not super hot, but should be warm and pleasant to taste. If this was actually meant to be a cold dish, that's fine, but don't call it eggs benedict. It was, for me, an unpleasant experience. One more thing...it was served on the same hot plate as a really delicious, simple, perfectly pre-dressed mixed greens salad. It tasted great and looked beautiful! The greens were also lukewarm. In summary, I felt uncomfortable and lost on my first visit and would have preferred a sit-down waiter/waitress experience for the price of my dish. The salmon benny and this restaurant probably need to decide what they're going to be, and go with it. The benny, commit to hot or cold. The restaurant, commit to upscale with servers or lower priced fancy fast-food.
Hello to all my celiac and gluten free friends. I am a celiac person that does go to IHOP a lot and I enjoy it . Rhiannon was our waitress and she was so knowledgeable about gluten free and so sweet , she also made a note for my allergy . I ate all my food and I'm definitely going back again :)
Would not recommend. Limited staff so you wait a long time to be served. Food low quality and tasted horrible. I could not eat the hashbrowns..the oil they fried them in was old and they tasted rancid. Bacon very thin and fatty and tasted like low cost bacon. Everything we ordered was subpar and really expensive. No gluten free bread, pancakes or waffles. Staff was very nice though. That was the only reason I am giving the restaurant decent stars.
Chicken tenders are always hot and delicious! Also, if you're gluten or carb free, their burgers are really good in the lettuce wrap! Me and my wife have been to other Freddy's locations, but this one takes the cake.
My friend and I stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and had a more than pleasant meal. I don't know if it was the owner or manager who waited on us, but he was fast, friendly and efficient. We both have to eat gluten free and he was very attentive to taking care of that issue. The food was some of the best Mexican I've eaten, with a perfect blend of spices rather than overly heated and dosed heavily with cilantro. I was very impressed!!
It was my first time being here.
Got the half rack of ribs with mash potatoes. My husband got the loaded back and queso waffles on Fridays. I got an angry orchard, and he got a long island iced tea. Drinks, food, and service were excellent. There are tons of choices for a gluten restricted diet. Well be back before we leave the country again!
Best pizza I've had in town! Very accommodating to our large group (with advance notice of course). Friendly staff, clean and comfortable space. They have a gluten free pizza option as well.
Sunny is amazing. Recommended a dish for my husband and it was so good. I got the lamb, my kids split the two kids meals. The lentil bread was awesome to be gluten free. My husband and kids loved the samsosa and naan bread. The chai tea was so good. Mango smoothie was so fresh and yummy. I will be back!
Update: still awesome. Sonny is great and all the food is amazing.
This was my first experience. I placed an order online to pickup and take home. I was in and out in less than a minute. My husband and I both loved the food. I am gluten free so I was happy they have a "scoop" option. My only complaint is that my order came with a cookie and crackers that aren't gluten free. I used my own crackers, but it seems like that could be an easy correction on the part of the franchise . I will be back!
We had a group of 10 people and we all had a great experience. Sat up at the bar to wait for the rest of our party to arrive, the drinks and bartender were both great. I ordered a Vanilla Moscow Mule and it was spectacular. They use Cock & Bull Ginger Beer, which is my absolute favorite! The server when we moved to our table was very friendly, attentive and helpful when it came to knowledge of the menu and suggestions- none of us had ever been there. We got several appetizers (all of which were amazing) and I ended up ordering the MahiMahi which was SPECTACULAR! I also thought it was great that they have a special menu for anyone who is gluten free, which o thought was great. In our party we had a couple special allergy needs (shellfish and gluten) our server knew off of the top of his head which dishes both could or couldn’t have. Love that. 10/10 would recommend!
Celiac friendly
