Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!
We have been here many times now, each time the food tastes as good as it looks, which is mouth watering! The staff works very hard and efficient even though they seem a tiny bit under staffed. They’ve always been upbeat, compassionate and professional. I love their gluten free and vegetarian options since that’s what my partner is restricted in eating. It’s refreshing to have food in a restaurant that cares about how healthy and customizable their food is. I’ve tried just about every bowl they are all incredible. The sweet potatoes are yummy! You can’t go wrong ordering anything here, safe part of the neighborhood and beautiful atmosphere sitting outside or in
Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!
IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.
this place was SO accommodating to our bachelorette, and the food was amazing (the girls said it was the best pasta they've had all year!).
Their team added a table so our group could dine outside, and even moved us so we wouldn't have to leave early or after the designated 2 hour window. I worked with the hostess to have champagne at the table when we arrived.
For food allergies... I have celiac, and the server and hostesses were super clear and supportive of my dietary needs.
Our server Shaun, was FAB! Really lovely and even brought us complimentary shots to celebrate the bride! Really a great experience all around. So thankful for their team!
This server Ryan is an absolute 10/10! The performance is lightning-fast, with minimal flaws and seamless functionality. The atmosphere is family friendly, and the reliability is unmatched—no crashes or downtime. I am also gluten free and have a peanut and Ryan was very tending to those needs and made lunch go smoothly! Highly recommended!
This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!
Celeste made my experience today at shake shack absolutely wonderful when she greeted me with a beautiful smile. She was patient with me as I was explaining my dietary restrictions! I was thrilled that there were gluten free options. Restaurant was clean, service was fast!
Edited 8.14: Apparently the dining experience here is entirely dependent on wait staff. Unfortunately after many positive experiences, this evening was an abysmal disaster. Our appetizer was sent to the table wrong, they scraped off the ingediedients that were to be left off and delivered it as though it were fresh. Numerous remnants of the old ingredients remained. Our meals, at 4pm, in a nearly empty restaurant, took an hour and were prepared differently than ordered, in style, ingredients and temperature. The on duty manager was less than sympathetic at both issues and we were made to feel as though this were our problem. We'll need to find a new favorite spot.
We're repeat diners at this upscale neighborhood kitchen and bar. We usually order the filet mignon and salmon, which are reliably cooked to perfection. The meatloaf and tavern salad are also favorites. Vegetables are always fresh. Godiva chocolate torte is decadent. For those who need gluten free there are plenty of options. The outdoor patio at the bar is a best bet if you can't secure the reservation you need. Friendly staff. Love this place.
They catered a rehearsal dinner for us that had some attendees with Celiac. The food was delicious and they were fantastic about understanding food allergies and adapting so everyone was able to feel treated!
I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

I have celiac. We discussed the issue extensively with the server who assured me I was in a good spot and all would be fine. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. They messed up the order and brought out a wonton taco plated with the corn taco and the server advised the entire plate was gluten free. Only after eating the wonton did I discover the issue. The server apologized and contacted a manager. That’s where things took a bad turn. The manager, a very young blonde female, who clearly couldn’t be bothered with severe food allergies, came out, referred to the situation as a “small issue”, proceeded to blame me, and then offered three separate excuses for why this happened. Setting aside that each excuse was unsatisfactory, it was abundantly clear neither she, or the restaurant, took food allergies seriously. My valentines date/dinner was entirely ruined, not to mention a very expensive trip to Arizona, for which I am only on day 1 and will inevitably spend the rest of the trip in the hotel bathroom. Despite being celiac, I’m a foodie and eat in some of the best restaurants across the country. This may be some of the worst service, and particularly management, I’ve ever seen.
This place was so good we ordered from here 4 times while on vacation. Incredibly grateful they had amazing gluten free options. I think Naperville, IL would be a great spot to open a location… ;)
Great food!! I wish the had more
Gluten free options but I know it’s hard and it always tastes horrible so this place gets it!! Lol. Regardless this place puts food before people have some decency 😂
I had the wonderful opportunity to celebrate my good friend's birthday here with a delicious and well thought out prepared menu!
My personal favorite were the glazed pork ribs, but every dish was so well put together and thoroughly enjoyed by all. All but one or two items were gluten free as well, which is incredible for many of the guests!
The service is well worth mentioning too; incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful for everyone!
Fabulous menu and alternatives for gluten free. They can make sandwiches on gluten free bread. Brisket sandwich with chopped salad was so delicious. Others in our party had chicken salad sandwich. Shoestring French fries were delicious. Our server was great. Highly recommend. Plan to go again!
Always make me happy and feel included and like I’m not missing out as a Dairy Free and Gluten Free person. I get Barros Special on GF Crust and No Cheese however that do have DF cheese!
I got a GF and DF Sub this time for a meal the next day and the bread they use is amazing.
Will come again!! Kimberly was amazing with all the help she gave us! Gluten free options, not many places like this! Anytime of the day, this is the right choice if you want good food with good people!

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods.
After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one.
We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.)
Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens.
She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill.
Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.
If you have allergies, do NOT trust this place. I usually do not feel the need to leave bad reviews but I was very disappointed yesterday with Crust. My boyfriend and I went out to eat for his birthday and I have a wheat, nut, and tomato allergy so before even going there, we called to make sure their Alfredo sauce was wheat free (which I applaud them for having a gf alfredo sauce, not everywhere does). When we got there, I made sure with our waitress that the gluten free pizza crust was nut free as well and told her about my allergies and she reassured me that they have an amazing gluten free crust and they truly sounded like they care. Two big things: the manager (I believe it was the manager) brought us our food and asked if we needed anything else, we asked for parmesan, she brings us a parmesan container and the lid was disgustingly dirty with tomato sauce squished on it. I had my boyfriend touch the container, take the lid off, look inside to make sure it looked safe, and then he poured some on my pizza. I was then about to take a first bite, and noticed tomato sauce where the pizza cutter had touched. It wasn't just a little either, the tomato was in between every slice and very obvious which I am glad it was obvious because I would've gotten very sick. We also looked around, it was not busy when we arrived and we had the only two pizzas in sight so I found it safe to assume they used the same pizza cutter they used on a gluten containing tomato based pizza to cut my gluten free tomato free pizza. Double whammy and not food safe at all. I let the waitress know and she apologized and offered to have them remake it but once my trust is broken with a restaurant that seemed to understand me at first, that trust cannot be rebuilt. So I sat there and drank my drinks while my boyfriend enjoyed his birthday lunch alone. Our waitress asked the chef in the kitchen if he used the same pizza cutter which he replied that he couldn't remember. The manager came out and offered to get me a salad or anything else but I turned it down because I cannot trust this kitchen to care about allergies after I was very clear with my waitress to begin with. I was then offered the gluten free dessert which is chocolate peanut butter cake, a nut product, which made me feel quite uncomfortable as I noted at the beginning that that was an allergy. The waitress was very sweet, but terrible experience for someone with allergies and the manager did not even say that she would have a talk with the kitchen or ensure they would work on their knowledge of safe allergen-friendly food handling. I have worked in a kitchen before and I know allergies are difficult to deal with sometimes, but it is not that hard to use more precaution and cleanliness to ensure better safety. This was a slower early lunch time as well, if they had a packed house, I could see and understand the mistakes, but when there's not many people, these simple mistakes should not happen and are inexcusable. The nice waitress is the only reason this review is getting more than one star, the decorations were cute too, but that was about the only good thing we experienced.
Went here on Christmas Eve for dinner and had a great meal. We had the pollo street tacos and the kale salad with salmon.
I was impressed by the level of attention the staff gave to my dining partner’s gluten sensitivity as they made a special version of salsa that was gluten free as their regular salsa has soy sauce. They also brought grilled tortillas for her to enjoy the guacamole as their regular salsa tortilla chips could be exposed to gluten in the fryer.
We had a minor issue with how the salmon was prepared and the executive chef took over to remake it himself.
I would definitely return for another meal on my next visit. There were a few items I wanted to try that I was just too full to add to the table.
My fiancé and I happened across Veneto Trattoria the other day and cannot believe we haven't made it here sooner. With one visit this has become my new favorite place to eat. First and foremost our waiter, Will, was phenomenal. It was clear that he takes immense pride in his work. He was attentive without being overbearing. He was well-versed in the menu and throughly answered any questions we had.
The food... Incredible. My fiancé said he didn't want to tell me how good it was -- but the bread was delicious (I can't have gluten). He ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the Orecchiette Salsiccia e Broccolini. I ordered the gluten-free version of the Tagliatelle Tirolesi. Oh. My. Goodness. It was divine. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I cannot wait for an excuse to go back! For dessert we finished off with the flourless chocolate cake. I love chocolate and this hit the spot. Very chocolatey but not too sweet. So glad we stumbled upon Veneto Trattoria the other night!!
Our department recently hosted a staff retreat lunch at Fate Brewing Company in Scottsdale, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish! Coordinating for a group of 20+ people can be challenging, but the staff handled everything seamlessly.
The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that everyone in our group felt taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded expectations, especially given our variety of dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian). It’s not always easy to accommodate such diverse preferences, but Fate Brewing did it with ease and flair.
The mocktails were another highlight—they were creative, refreshing, and a perfect complement to the meal. Our team left feeling satisfied, impressed, and grateful for such a great experience. Thank you, Fate Brewing Company, for making our lunch a memorable part of our retreat! Highly recommend this place for group events or just a great meal.
We love coming here for happy hour and it’s a good spot for gluten free options as well. Good value for food and drinks and a fun spot to stop in while walking through old town.
Very meh atmosphere with weird energy... but that's OK, we weren't going to dine in.
We ended up not eating, they didn't have any gluten free or cauliflower crusts. Sad panda I was. 😕😔
The regular food was fabulous, too bad our server made a mistake in not placing our gluten free guest’s order as gluten free (an allergy not a preference). Whilst her meal was removed from our bill, after being offered a complementary meal we did have to ask for her replacement meal to be removed from our bill.
Such a wonderful place to have a lovely Thai meal.
The staff was super friendly, very kind and accommodating to my dietary preferences.
Being gluten-free and vegetarian often makes it difficult to find restaurants that accommodate however they were very kind and were able to make a delicious meal based on my preferences
Outdoor space is great when weather allows! Neat spot with old traditional ambience.
Gluten free menu available with a good variety of food, attached in pics. Tried the red enchiladas, and did not think they had any flavor. They are also very small, and only available in chicken, can't sub other meat. Waiter was very nice and accommodating to help me find a meal I would like and replace it. Guacamole is great and chips are gluten free too.
Red chili pork chop had a great presentation and even better flavor.
I’m new to the area and I also never tried gluten-free pizza. The pizza I got from here was a little burnt from the crust. I called the store back and they immediately made me a new one. Pizza is 10/10 and customer service is exceptional.
Incredible dining experience at FnB. Every dish was unlike anything you'd ever heard of or seen, and each was incredibly delicious. Many gluten free options, just check with your server. Highly recommend!
I had the day off and decided to meet up with some friends for brunch with my little one! This restaurant is located in the back of the mall, near Nobu and Francine.
They have such a nice patio area, which would be great for the cooler months. Inside, there were plenty of seating options. They gave our table a high chair and took our order.
We had really great service for our meal and she was very attentive.
I ordered the crispy eggs with prosciutto, which came with bread and a bed of arugula. This was really good, and I feel like a pretty good value for prosciutto ($18.)
I also ordered their gluten-free blueberry banana bread for my son. It was nice that the bread was not overly sweet, as most banana breads can be.
This was a nice location for our little catch-up, and we would love to come again to enjoy their outdoor seating.
I order from here roughly once a week to two weeks because I love the food. They're also the only place nearby that does a great gluten free pizza. And the Ziggy Fries. Oh my god, the Ziggy Fries. I ask for extra crispy extra garlic and they DELIVER. It was absolutely wasted with garlic yesterday. I consumed it all. Amazing 10/10.
I’ve come here a few times now. I’ve been for dates, happy hour with coworkers, and lunch with my sister. Every single time has been amazing. I highly recommend coming at night if you want the romantic vibe. I’ve always had a good experience and enjoyed the food.
Today the experience deserved an extra shoutout though. My sister has celiac so trying new places is always stressful for her. One simple oversight can send her to the ER. But Oscar was absolutely amazing. He answered all of our questions, reviewed the restaurants policies/procedures, and kept checking on our order in the kitchen to make sure that all of her items were made separate with new gloves and cooking utensils. Thank you for making her feel safe during her meal!
For our other celiacs: the mussels are gluten free as long as you don’t get the side of bread, she highly recommends!
So excited to have an excellent new restaurant in the area! Service was 10/10 and the food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend the Bistro Steak and cheeseburger. If you’re gluten free you NEED to come here as a large majority of their menu is gluten free friendly. We will be back again soon!
Fresh Spring Rolls are amazing & memorable. There are gluten & vegan options. Joshua was gracious & attentive. Loved the background music. Highly recommend.
