Jake Preston-Marshall

Brilliant place for coeliacs, but also for 'normal' people 🙂 Friendly, helpful staff, nice atmosphere and each dish exceeded our expectations!

The food quality has dropped substantially since the place was sold. I had been going here regularly for the past ten years. I have been telling myself the substantial drop in quality over the past couple of years are one offs, but every time I go, the food is poorly made, doesn't include what was stated in the menu. The smoothie I had been ordering for ten years was poorly made, watery like every time I have had it over the past year. The fries that were supposed to come with a gluten free vegan aioli came with sauce without telling me. Whatever I got today it was definitely not gluten free and I will be spending the rest of the day sick. So many happy memories of this place it was hard to give up but its clear from the owners comments they could care less and are happy to take our money and ruin one of the best eateries in hamilton very sad. I am relocating to a different city and I guess at least I don't have to worry about missing this place anymore :(

Sam Hayman

Great food and service. Great gluten free options and staff are knowledgeable on celiacs

MayaPlanas Family

Excellent and delicious Gluten Free menu (they can provide dairy free options as well). Very friendly staff. Environment is classic and relax. Would truly recommend.

Great fish and chips. So nice to have gluten and dairy free battered fish and nuggets and hotdogs. Keep up the great work team.

Lovely visit, staff were super lovely and the vibe of the place was great ☺️ they had a seperate gluten free menu which was great with lots of options! Delicious food. Would definitely come back!

Kathryn Gilbert

Almost everything is gluten free. great food and cocktails.

Bernadette J

A Godsend for gluten free eaters traveling thru. It's nice enough to sit in and make an event of it but they're happy to pack it to go, too.

Ian-Lorraine Plant (KiwiPlants)

Really friendly service...and i can get great quality gluten free fish and chips, they know the difference between fad and celiac. Always stop here when visiting.

Linda Grant

Great view and service, good sandwiches at lunchtime. The glutenfree hamburger bun was one of the best we've encountered. Celiac friendly, dedicated fryer.

Raewyn Furth

Grandson came with me he is coeliac rated his burger 11/10

Morgane Guillez

Very good family address for a quick lunch. We choose from the window what we want, there are raw, gluten-free, and healthy alternatives even for children. Warm and kids friendly atmosphere (games available).

Julie B

We had dinner there last night was beautiful. I have celiac disease and they looked after me well. Thank you.

Andrea Jukes

Went today for lunch as visiting Raglan. My family member and I have food intolerences and Coeliac disease. The menu was great, extensive choices and reasonable prices. We chose a pizza, beautifully cooked and very tasty. The service was amazing too. So friendly and helpful. Would definately return and certainly recommend!

Jessica Hope

Beautiful fresh chippies and burgers! Cater to everyone! Low carb? Bunless options! Vegan? Vegan options! Gluten free ?...you guessed it! Generous servings as well if that wasn't enough already! Staff are always super friendly and greet with a smile ...happy even though it was super busy! You guys rock!! thankyou for the beautiful dinner, just perfect after a long day at the beach ⛱️ (Albie agrees too) 🐕

victoria lahman

Went here for mums birthday lunch, everyone's food came out luke warm. My pizza was lacking flavour, it was the tofu one. It was very bland. The calamari my sister got the gluten free version and it was small for the price and lacking flavour. Mums seafood chowder was yummy but not hot and someone else got a cherizo breakfast special that was great value and yummy. They have a huge menu with heaps of gluten free options which is great. The waitress was lovely and very tentative to our table. Would probably go back but would ask for the meal to be hot and wouldn't get a gf pizza!

Yara Schaper

Cute restaurant with a large selection in the core of Turangi, including vegan and gluten-free options. Very nice staff and relaxed atmosphere with fair prices. PS: There is also very tasty ice cream!

Alanna Goodwin

Great place for a brunch, lunch or afternoon tea. No cabinet food is a shame. But good coffe and a great variety of sweet treats gluten and otherwise. The kids playground is a huge plus for Mums. The shop next door is also great.

Heather Barber

9 of us ate here for Mother's Day lunch. 3 of us eat gluten free so that is no problem here. We had a salad bowl with meat. I had lamb and was just delicious. A lot of yummy meat and all the salads. Others had pizza, rice meals, chips, etc. Highly recommend. Great food, prices and service. Lovely and large restaurant.

Crannies

This place is an absolute gem. They catered for our work do and nailed it. Amazing gluten free options, excellent service. Love our local Vietnamese restaurant.

Christine Takahashi

We got a picnic basket for two. It was well stocked with savoury, sweets, cheese, and fruit. More than we could eat, we took the items home and had dinner as well. One of my servings was gluten free, and the items were delicious.

We stayed at Kūaotunu Campground to attend a family friend's beach wedding over Waitangi long weekend. At the wedding, Luke's Kitchen catered fresh stone oven pizzas for dinner. They were delicious, one of the best I've tasted and they also catered for special dietary needs e.g. vegetarians and gluten-free options. Throughout that weekend, we noticed long queues of customers lining up along the footpath outside the restaurant. On Sunday, we decided to place a phone order to avoid the need to queue and wait for our dinner. Caitlin was friendly and pleasant over the phone and very hospitable when we arrived to pick up our order, I was impressed by how quickly she managed the iPad to process our order and then split the total cost between the two paying couples. Great customer service, Caitlin. Keep up the brilliant front-of-house work! 🫶👊 A special mention to the gifted Francine, who provided the live music this Sunday afternoon. What a beautiful and angelic voice you have. You had me singing along with your great choice of music 🎶 We picked up our order of fish n chips, mussel pot with garlic bread pizza and several other flavoured pizza's, the Fresh & Spicy, the Triple P and the Antipasto. I highly recommend the stone oven pizza's👌and my family friends thoroughly enjoyed the mussel pot. We took our takeaway dinner across to Kuaotunu Reserve and sat on one of the picnic tables and enjoyed our meal while looking at the breathtaking views of the beach. 🌊🏖 I would suggest phoning ahead and pre-ordering to avoid the long queues as the restaurant and food are so popular based on the number of patrons that dine in and collect their takeaways. We'll return, if we're ever in the area.

Leslie Robinson

Couldn’t fault it. Had a special birthday lunch there. Food was superb, the staff were awesome and we loved the quirky atmosphere. 2 guests are coeliac and were well catered for. Will definitely be back!

Frankie Davey

Coffee and food and service have been super every time I have been there. And it’s has great gluten-free meal options

Aisling Donnelly

Nice selection of food, lovely staff and inviting local atmosphere. Good veggie and gluten-free options, too!

elliot mccullough

knowledgeable staff on coeliac disease. dedicated friar and great gf options. nice staff

Savannah

Staff are always friendly and helpful. Food is great. Coffee is good. The Café is always clean and tidy, well kept. Great cabinet food options as well as gluten free and dairy free options on the menu. Great for the whole family.

Cherie Kerrison

Went here for brunch today. My friend is a vegetarian celiac, so it is normally a good place to go as there are plenty of options for her. Today was the exception, no cabinet food, no salads aside from a chicken one. So she ended up having a gluten free vegetarian bread/pizza type thing. I ordered the venison short ribs on the starter menu, they were amazing, I would definitely order again. We both wanted a dessert and they have one of the best brulee's in town, but alas they said they did not have any, this was the only gluten free dessert option aside from berries and ice cream. So we will not be back until the menu changes.

Nolwenn Chevrot

I had a fantastic experience at Wyld! As someone with a gluten allergy (coeliac), it's often stressful to eat out, but at Wyld, I felt completely safe. They offer great gluten-free options, and everything was delicious and carefully prepared. I didn’t get sick at all — a true relief and a joy! Thank you to the team for making dining out enjoyable and worry-free.

L Summers

We love Hayes common so much ! I am coeliac and can always be 100% confident my meal will be perfect. Staff are fabulous coffee and food amazing

Rebecca Osborne

Wow what a great place! Very clean, relaxing, comfortable booths, great friendly staff, so glad we found it, the gluten free vege pizza is the best I’ve ever had, (and I eat out a lot!) can’t even describe how delicious that was, the gluten free carbonara was amazing also, we will purposefully detour in the future to be able to come to this restaurant again, it is a new fave 🙌

Bradley Jamieson

Good food, good cheer and great beer... went here the other day and had a few pizzas. Perfect pizzas, super awesome staff and were more than willing to make them gluten free. Definitely going to be a regular visit.

Graham Cogger

Quick, tasty, healthy meals with a good selection of gluten free options

Luis Costa

Really nice place! Everything was perfect - service, food, atmosphere. The Chef made sure to look after us himself, explained about the food served and cared for my wife's coeliac dietary requirements. What a pleasant dinner. We definitely recommend it!! It is a must go in Taupo!

Andrew Chand

Just tried to order gluten free fish and chips (saw they had previously offered coeliac safe options) - but they no longer provide gluten free options.

Andrew H.

My wife and I heard about Joe's Garage from the coeliac Facebook group.. re knowledgeable about coeliac and cross contamination. So we thought we'd try it out. WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! The service is great, the staff friendly and genuine. Food is varied and excellent! We'll go again! Well done team!

Shannon Standaloft

Just a PSA for those with celiac disease. The GF is short for Gluten Friendly not Gluten Free. Never heard of Gluten Friendly so didn't spot this until we got there but it essentially means you can eat it if you have a mild intolerance but nothing more. Only the salads are suitable for people who are celiac so a pretty stink dinner, and we were told the noodles would be replaced but they were just removed so pretty much chicken and leaves. Feel like the servers were doing their best though and we're very apologetic so gave service a 4

Nickie Dove

Has been my favourite restaurant for several years. However the menu has changed and there is little I can eat now or would enjoy eating. Kumura rostis have gone. No kumura pizza now. Rarely any gluten free vegetarian soups or other dishes.

AnnMaree Vercoe

Staff have a great understanding of celiac friendly options, yum food I’ll be back ☺️

Maria Moris

E Walker

Just okay - nothing special. Food came out very fast but was under-dressed. Additional fee for gluten free, but it was the type of gluten-free bread that quickly turns to mush with any moisture.

Mary Chesney

Very good food. Lots of spice options, mild for the kids and extra hot for a challenge. Lots of options for vegan, gluten free and dairy free. Very nice and fun music.

María Alejandra Jaramillo Giraldo

Delicious food! Great service too. Gluten free options 🥳

Hannah Lang

Super friendly knowledgeable staff, seperate fryer. Had my first gf crepes since going gluten free. Bare in mind some of the dishes are rather small especially if you take things out such as bacon. Will be back

Geoff Blampied

Fabulous gluten free food served by happy knowledgeable staff.

Nicholas Kinsey

The Toa burger was amazing, I didn't think I could finish when I first saw it, but it went down a treat. Also had gluten-free options for my wife and good attention to detail, many thanks 😊

Brenda white

Yummy gluten free pizza

Reuben McBride

Gluten free options are many and they cater for Celiac but it's quite loud and the atmosphere is like a food court.

Colin Holloway

Amazing restaurant with honest, delicious food at a great price, topped only by the care and service from the wait staff. My daughter is celiac and all questions were answered with compassion and menu alterations were handled without fuss. Highly recommended whether for a family dinner, work gathering or even a date night.
