We've been here several times for lunch and are never disappointed. Great food with lots of gluten-free options, large portions, and reasonable prices.
Manager here is a jerk.
I’ve eaten at this chain before, and I’ve never had an issue. I’m celiac. They usually bring me out a plate of appetizers, since I can’t have the salad bar due to cross contamination. This manager refused and treated me poorly.
Said they could accommodate celiac, but they cannot. Was rude. I did enjoy a glass of scotch (McAllen special) bartender was very sweet.
This place is a hidden gem! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and their selection of beers and local NY spirits was fantastic.
For any Dungeons & Dragons fans out there, the menu had a clever theme that was subtle enough for those who wouldn't notice, but a fun wink to those who did. Even better, the variety on the menu was impressive, with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options to please everyone. The sweet potatoes and fae salad were delicious!
The brewery hosts board game nights on Tuesdays. That was unexpected and I wish we had more time to partake. We had the chance to meet Dan, who generously gave us a tour of his amazing brewery.
Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu and rotating brews!
I love Wendy's food, which is why I continually endure the long wait at this location. I understand there is an issue getting help, but this particular Wendy's is ridiculously slow. Even when you order at the counter, the wait is endless. I am also not happy that the new ownership has eliminated the 10% senior discount. That's just petty. I'll still go there, though, because the food is fresh and hot, and I love the Southwest Avocado salad. I am gluten intolerant and there aren't many places I can order food for my husband and get something tasty for myself. Get some help, restore the senior discount, and I'll bump you to five stars!!!
It’s easy to get diner food just right, but it’s just as easy to make a mess of it. I’m happy to say, I’ve always had a great meal at The Gem. When ever I’m on this side of town, it’s always my go-to for a fast simple meal (comfort food). Recently, I went by at lunch time, but hadn’t had breakfast that morning. I couldn’t decide what to have. Luckily, I could have both, and partook in the breakfast hamburger platter. Think ‘steak & eggs’ but instead of the steak, you get a burger just the way you like it with all the trimmings (minus the bun) AND eggs, home fries, and toast. (I tend to stay away from gluten, but still, you get the idea). This has since become my new favorite breakfast!
Kiyana was very helpful and knowledgeable of gluten allergies. The ice cream paddles were washed prior to use on our ice cream and they placed freshly washed little metal plates on the cold stone to mix our ice cream on. Kiyana was very kind. So nice to have knowledgeable staff to serve us.
Celiac friendly
