Great vibes, super nice smaller space. The waitress Delaney was the perfect amount of friendly and attentive. Easily the best gluten free pizza, nice craft cocktails. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed our meal at Clocked! They offered a gluten free bun. The fries aren't fried in a dedicated fryer making cross contamination possible for those with gluten allergies, but they were upfront and honest when I asked about it. The dining area is small but it has the Athens charm!
We just tried Maepole for the first time, and WOW!! Their slogan is so accurate: Healthy comfort food. Everything was delicious!! I had the braised cabbage with rice and tofu. AMAZING! The sauces were incredible and every menu item but one was gluten free. Inside atmosphere was a little standard, but the patio is lovely with all kinds of plants and flowers. We’re going back right away!
Absolutely excellent restaurant. Have been countless times in the past 5+ years and have had an outstanding experience every time. Especially appreciate that they offer an incredible experience even to gluten-free customers like myself.
Stopped here while passing through on vacation. Food was great, a little greasy but it's a burger and thats what makes it so good! I have celiac and was able to have an UDI's gluten free bun with my Yankee burger which was delicious. Service was great and very knowledgeable about menu.
Brandon our sever was great! A party of 60 came in and he had to assist with that party but never let that affect his service for us! Excellent. Also has gluten free pasta option and it was delicious!!
I wanted this place to be so good. I have Celiac, so I was so looking forward to a good gluten free crust. Maybe if they had cooked it enough that the cheese was melted and the crust wasn’t soggy, it could have been ok…unless you count the fact that I won’t be able to get my rings off tomorrow because my hands are so swollen from the salt content. I ate two pieces because I was starving, but I threw the rest away. For $17 I expect WAY more. This was flat out inedible. I’m sincerely disappointed.
Enjoyed the tasty pizza here at Mello Mushrooms. A lot of menu choices, even gluten free and plant based pizzas which is a plus for me. The service was great, attentive & accommodating. We came here on a Monday for lunch so it wasn't very crowded. The restaurant is quite large, however, the bathroom was closed off due to construction. Ordered the House Special, Holy Shiitake and 1 topping pizza with cheese and pepperoni. Pizzas were flavorful and delicious. I would definitely come back again.
If you have allergies, they are not very careful. Got really sick here with gluten even though I told the cashier that I was highly allergic to gluten. She assured me they took the necessary precautions, yah no, got super sick! Glad it's not a life threatening allergy.
My family and I had a delicious lunch with outstanding customer service from Claire and Tyler! Great consideration for those with gluten free diets! We will definitely be back!!
So happy to find out his gem. Tasty and quick. Have gluten free options. Had chicken Korma which was very creamy and well balanced. The chicken was very tender. Will come back.
Great food, super fast service. Mildly busy when we arrived, we ordered at counter, by the time we got drinks and sat down, it was maybe 4 minutes until our food arrived. Fresh, yummy, nice atmosphere, good margarita. We were traveling and this honestly took no more time than Chipotle, but was 10x better. Oh and handled my gluten and dairy allergy well, I didn't get sick.
I've eaten here a number of times, and the staff is always incredibly helpful and kind! The process is smooth and the atmosphere is really relaxed in a clean, modern style. It's a nice lunch spot to meet a friend or two, but I don't think it's set up for large groups. The outside space is also really great whenever it's warmer weather! Right now they have "flannel Fridays" where you and a friend can go together, both wear flannel, and get two bowls for the price of one. It's a really great deal!
It's excellent for difficult dietary restrictions, although my Celiac husband hasn't braved it yet since cross contamination is such a big concern with Celiac. If you're gluten intolerant or just a brave Celiac, I could see this being a great place to try! All other dietary restrictions I can think of seem easy to accommodate here. If it bothers you that a restaurant has any nuts at all, be advised that peanuts are in a few of the bowls. My best friend is allergic and has no issues, but you know what's best for your own needs.
We made a special trip to try Jinya and we're so glad we did. They offer a gluten free option for noodles which was the reason for giving it a try. The waitress was super friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and offered guidance when she learnt it was our first visit. The food was incredible and well worth the drive. There was a small issue with my daughter's meal which we brought to the waitress's attention. She and the the gentleman in the restaurant overwhelmed me with their caring responsiveness. While we weren't able to finish our lunch, we are definitely looking forward to going back to give it another try. Great food and atmosphere are a big part of it but it's the excellent service and demonstration of inclusion and acceptance that made us decide we want to go back.
We came for a gluten free chocolate torte and not only was it delicious but Erin our waitress gave us exceptional service. Will definitely come back again.
My third time here and I’m never disappointed!! Cozy, warm atmosphere both inside or outside. Here on a rainy Friday at 5:30, having a coffee and a delicious gluten-free almond apricot tart in a candle-lit booth while I do some work on my computer.

Ordered the Super Sub - Giant, with Onions, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Red Wine Vinegar, Olive Oil Blend, Oregano, Salt, Mayo, Banana Peppers, and, unfortunately, Udi's Gluten Free bread.
Since my bout with COVID, I have developed a disturbing sensitivity to gluten. I'm hoping it will pass, because I like bread, but the nausea is frequently unbearable. So, I thought I should try the gluten free bread.
It resembles bread only in appearance. Imagine the flavor of a stale baguette constructed from wood pulp and sawdust. It isn't chewy, it is chalky.
The sandwich's toppings were perfectly acceptable, but the Udi's gluten free bread is inedible.
Cutest little spot! Corn dogs, wings, dumplings, and mochi donuts were the best we've ever had!!! Food was fresh, hot, and super tasty!!! Love that it is gluten free!!! I will definitely be making the 40 minute drive to Athens for this again! Owner makes everything herself and is very friendly!
They seemed to be having a ton of trouble with order accuracy. Three ladies who ordered prior to me had problems with the subs that they ordered and had them fixed. Then I had ordered a gluten free sub which they made with normal white bread which they charged me for a second time in order to get the correct sub. On top of that neither of their sprite fountains were working which I told the cashier of and they never bothered to correct it.
I placed a large order for pickup and had issues with the order going through. I reached out via email and got a very quick response from Michael. He spent alot of time and effort trying to help me. I was able to pickup the order yesterday with no issues, the food was delicious, service was super friendly. I have already recommended to a few friends in the Athens area. This is a great location if you have food restrictions like vegan, keto or gluten. Highly recommend!

We absolutely adore this place! The moment you step in, you can feel the warm energy and the love and care that goes into everything they do. The menu may be small, but it packs a punch. The execution is always top-notch, and the cocktails are beautifully crafted. The staff is fantastic, and the interior design is thoughtful. The patio is a lovely addition, with heaters and party lights. We also appreciate the inclusion of vegan and gluten-free options on the menu. Overall, we love everything about this place!
This place is great! The atmosphere and the food are 10/10 and the service was great and everyone was so nice. I have a gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate everything!
My student organization had Dawg Gone Good BBQ cater a staff appreciation lunch and it was perfect! Not only was it reasonable, but everyone (including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy free individuals) had something tasty to eat! The owner (BJ) and staff were super friendly and responsive. I highly recommend considering Dawg Gone Good BBQ catering!
I forgot to take a picture before destroying my dish! Our family really likes this place and one fried rice bowl can easily feed 2-3 kids. Very helpful for our large family.
Also have really good gluten free options for my wife.
This place has a variety of food. Whether you want pasta burgers, whether you're vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free, this is the place to go in Athens they are thoroughly accommodating. All right
My favorite pizza take out in Athens! Their gluten free crust is good and reasonably priced (and big)!
When you ask for extra cheese, they really load it up! So much cheese it looks like a cartoon pizza- in a good way!
Recently, I got an order and they mixed up my toppings request. They were very apologetic and made me a free extra pizza in just a few minutes.
Highly recommend 👍👍
This was absolutely a home run! I got basil fried rice with chicken and my wife got pad Thai (she has a gluten and dairy allergy) and both were fantastic!
“Medium heat” has a pretty good kick to it. I loved it in my fried rice and my wife said it made her nose run and eyes water in her pad Thai 🤣
Highly recommend Siri Thai!
They go above and beyond to cater to me and my gluten allergy. I walk in and they always pull out clean boards, utensils, etc. I have very few places I can trust to eat in town but I always eat here with a piece of mind.
I ordered online for pickup Sunday night. My pizza was almost done when I arrived all of the employees were attentive and professional (hard to find in young employees these days) and I was in and out in 3 minutes. THANK YOU for having gluten free. Both pizza were cooked to perfection and delicious. Killer is easily my number one choice for pizza now.
My husband and I love Trappeze! It’s one of our favorite go-to dinner spots and has been for years. However, today our waiter made it even better. After always ordering the Turkey + Swiss sandwich without bread (due to Celiac), our waiter let me know they have a gluten free bun option that was super delicious. Brett also made sure to mark my order as an allergy to make sure they were careful about cross contamination. As always, our food was delicious! Trappeze is a common recommendation to friends for us, but now I’ll add asking for Brett as a server!
