Seth and Maddy are the GREATEST! The whole kitchen staff made sure my friend with a gluten allergy could eat everything we were served and even gave her some gluten free crostinis to have with our appetizer. The food is amazing. The vibes are immaculate. Will return, 100000000/10 you must go here!!
First time here and they ask you immediately if it’s your first time here and automatically start helping you with the menu and then the owner came out to see if he could help and he was so nice. I had the Tenmit Gluten Free Chicken bowl and miso soup. Absolutely delicious with large portions. My husband had Chizu cheese with chicken and he loved it. Really enjoyed everything!!!Mine was the first photo.
I don't leave many bad reviews for restaurants. But I think what happened tonight deserved an honest negative review.
I picked this restaurant bc of its good reviews and past great experiences at other locations. We had a big party of 10 and had to wait a while to be seated. No big deal.
We get seated and i requested the printed gluten free menu. We place our orders. I specifically spoke with our server and let him know that I had a gluten allergy. He assured me he would let the kitchen know. My food came out wrong the 1st time, with gluten containing ingredients clearly visable. I pulled our server aside and let him know and reminded him that I have an allergy (not a preference), he assures me it was a mistake and that my entire meal will be remade. The rest of the table was about 1/2 done with their meals when my remade meal came to the table.
Everything looked fine. I moved the food around some and did not see any gluten ingredients. Out server assured me that one of the managers had personally remade my food and I had nothing to worry about. I had ordered the Brussel spout salmon salad and added grilled shrimp. The salmon and shrimp were litterally cold, as if they had been in the refrigerator. At this point I was hungry and embarrassed,
so I was going to push thru and eat the salad. After about 5 or 6 bites I was moving the salad around and low and behold, MORE GLUTEN INGREDIENTS.
The manager did comp my food and my husband's (his burger was ordered medium rare and came out more than well done), but this should never have happened.
Our server was attentive and did a great job, but the kitchen clearly has cross contamination issues and I did not feel like my health or safety were a primary concern at all.
We did leave a nice tip for our sever bc this was clearly not his fault. I don't know if I would try this restaurant again, at least this location, as several members of our party has less than expected quality of their food.
Food was wonderful! There was a couple mistakes, mostly due to myself not reading, but the staff was quick to fix it and let us know about options. Everything was tasty and will definitely come back if ever in town again! If you’re gluten free, definitely recommend.
I was starving and found this place while passing through. I'm glad I did because the cauliflower crust and this pizza were delicious. Nothing beats an oven like this one and tastes.
The staff were super friendly and helpful, making sure my gluten allergy didn't have cross contamination.
They even had sherbet or ice cream fir dessert next to the bar area.
We sat outside in the sun with the umbrella.
The decor with the murals on the walls was a nice touch.
Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely
Would I return? Absolutely
My son loves Five Guys. He has developmental delays and is a childhood cancer survivor. He also has food allergies. He is learning to order and on his own. All the folks at this Five Guys are very helpful and understanding and work with him to get his order taken care of. (I do stand by in case I'm needed)
I'm thankful to have someplace my son can eat out at that is safely gluten-free for him.
I truly cannot recommend this place enough. We were driving through Macon on a loooong road trip and we were tired and hungry! We called to order our pizzas, because for some reason, it wouldnt let us order gluten free on the app! (Not a big deal though. Super easy to call and the person we talked to when we got there was so friendly!)
When we entered, everyone was so friendly and nice. They asked us about our trip. I have Celiac, and when I said I was the one who ordered the gluten free pizza, and I was told that my pizza would be unlike any gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. He said it won’t taste like cardboard. And it was FABULOUS! Probably the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. For those concerned, they take gluten free and cross contamination incredibly seriously.
The rest of my family is not gluten free, but they also really enjoyed their meals. Additionally, out of nothing more than the kindness of their hearts, they gave us a few free ribs to try! (Which were also AMAZING! And our family knows good ribs).
Truly, I recommend that everyone come and try this place. I will certainly be back, even if I have to go out of my way. Absolutely delicious!
Had high hopes as last few times they followed there allergy guidelines. Unfortunately today the girl on the line wasn't even aware gluten is in the flour tortillas and she felt it wqs better to argue with me instead of follow the process for allergies. Therefore I went all day wo food.
Becareful if you have a gluten allergy website very misleading with gluten-free, they only offer 1 thing gluten free that's a personal size pizza, nothing else.
Update: After getting my receipt, i was charged a fee for being gluten free smh no wre does it state that you're charged an additional fee or that they only have 1 item.
Always a wonderful experience but please please please consider the fact that there are patrons with gluten issues. It would be so wonderful to have more options
Visited first time today….. got half rack (6 ribs)
And a cole slaw and another side. The ribs were phenomenal!!!!!! So was the slaw. I’m gluten free so I love finding things like this. I only have one complaint and it will keep me from going back as often as I would like to….. the cost…
It was $16 and change for 6 ribs , a tiny slaw and other tiny side. In my world, that’s significant. Love your place but won’t be able to visit often. Thx
Food was delicious and they took special care to make my son’s food separately as he has celiac disease and has to be very careful with cross contamination with gluten. There were lots of gluten free options for our family. A must eat for Greek food in Macon!
I have loved FOJ for more than a decade, so when I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago, I was relieved that I could still cobble together a meal at my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, my experiences have been horribly inconsistent— staff doesn't seem to agree on what's gluten free, the gluten free bun was replaced with a less-than-edible cauliflower sponge and their new gluten free menu markers are performative as there's no dedicated fryer. Recently, I found pasta in my fruit cup. It wasn't the first time this has happened, and luckily— this time—I noticed the pasta coil before eating the cup. When I pointed it out to the waiter and tried to explain that even small amounts of cross contamination can make someone with a gluten allergy horribly sick for days, he handled it with little grace. I think it's time to bow out here— a sad realization because it would be easy for FOJ to properly accommodate this dietary restriction. .
I've just finished eating here and couldn't be more pleased. Our meals were delicious and the service was great. When I asked for a gluten free menu, the sweet woman who runs the place carefully explained every option I had and what was in it, as well as what I should avoid. I got the enchiladas she suggested and they were wonderful!! Thank you Tzango's!!! If I ever find myself back in Macon, I'll be sure to stop here.
We had such a great evening celebrating a friends birthday. The food and service was top notch. Eddy made sure that our night was memorable. He personalized the menu with special touches and accommodated a gluten free option for one of the guests.
The spinach dip was fantastic and the risotto was the best I've had. My main course was Chicken Liam and it was such a big portion that I was able to have that incredible meal at the restaurant and at home.
*One of the street tenants stopped in to talk with us, unsolicited, and Eddy acted professionally and quickly to resolve the concern.
Don't sleep on this place! It's amazing!!!
First of all, this is my place of employment as both a bartender and server, so I'm not sure how much weight my review holds. I love working here and currently we have an excellent front of house staff. We welcome guests of all ages looking to catch a game or just have a casual meal with friends. There is honestly something on the menu for everybody, even gluten free and vegan options, there is nothing on the menu I wouldn't recommend. The people who come here and get to serve usually seem to have a great time and enjoy their food. We aim for satisfaction and are eager to please. Come see us next time you are looking for a burger, wings, or nachos, or simply a place to hang out for an hour and drink some craft beers!
If I could rate them any higher, I would.
Amazing family run resturant that accommodated 40 of us with speed and efficiency. Super friendly staff.
Food was fresh and so tasty.
Atmosphere is super cool!
We also had a couple people with allergies and gluten free and they were able to eat no problem.
Must try in Macon!!
The restaurant is unassuming from the outside, but the food is delicious and they are very accommodating for gluten free issues. The food was delicious, fresh, and well prepared. We are in town for several days and were so happy to have come upon this restaurant. I found it through Google reviews. I loved the chunky guacamole and the chips were perfect (not overly salty). My wife and I ordered Fajitas and they were great! If you are in the mood for Mexican, I highly recommend Guitarras.
