I always try and remember HUGOS is ONLY good for the Churros.
Yes you can get vegan, vegetarian and gluten free there but after today I really don't think it's worth it. Service isn't great and food is bland, no flavor, lack of salsa and when I asked for salsa for 3 tiny burritos with very little meat, I get 1 small half full tiny cup. After tip , i spent $84 on 3 burritos, 2 drinks and 3 churros. Seems pretty steep for bland food and half way decent service. From now on the amazing GF Churros will be our only purchase
Cora, the manager at this Culver City location, is awesome. I have a severe food allergy and Cora checked ingredients thoroughly before I ordered. And there was an issue with the payment terminal when I went to pay and Cora resolved the issue super professionally and kindly --- honestly just an experience that made my day. Highly recommend MOD as an affordable, yummy for anyone with a gluten allergy.
Among the best of the current crop of taco distilleries in Los Angeles. The friendly Staff have figured out the queueing system and the result is lower waiting times. The tacos are fantastic. Tacos are all corn so ideal for gluten free types. Don’t forget the hibiscus onions and a cucumber cooler. Dine in options are limited to a few outdoor tables. Prices are reasonable although not displayed on menu.
the workers are fine and the food is what it is. the 10% “concession recovery fee” is bull shit. also no listed added price for gluten free. all in all + ~ $5 than the listed price. ~$19 for a jersey mike’s sub with no chips or drink is crazy work
In & Out Burgers NEVER disappoint. Consistent flavor and freshness..sweet serving-crew..super popular place.
My favorite burger.
Best burger wrapped with lettuce for those who are gluten or dairy intolerant..tell them and they gladly accommodate.
Safe for the Gluten Free community!! Fries and chili are gluten free! And they have gluten free hot dog and burger buns:) they also take precautions against cross contamination. Safe safe safe :)
The grilled chicken nuggets are celiac friendly so I ordered those. Too bad they're not what I got. If I ate the regular ones I would get super sick, so thank you for making me waste money. Traffic is too heavy for me to drive all the way back over there to fix YOUR mistake. It's not like I didn't mention my food allergies either!
THE COUNTER is part of an international chain of casual, mid-century, American diners. The high-end eatery's gourmet burgers and extensive list of toppings and sides combine into over a million combinations.* (So you can order a different burger combination, for lunch, for about 2,700 years, without once repeating.)
Sherri, the franchise owner, stopped by to tell me about her eatery. Reminiscent of a 50's malt shop, it's designed with comfortable booths and space between tables. (The only thing missing is a jukebox.) Place settings are simple. Condiments and extra napkins are displayed on every table. A beer and wine bar stretches across the restaurant's east wall. (Sherri is proud of the selection of "Reds.")
The menu offers 9 animal and vegetable proteins. The buns: wheat, gluten free, vegan, and a lettuce wrap are interchangeable. There are 28 toppings, 12 cheeses, 20 sauces, and 12 sides. Mix and match as you like.
Organic products are used whenever possible. The menu is annotated with dietary information.
I ordered a vegan Impossible Burger with several toppings, prepared medium rare. Lots of restaurants offer Impossible Burgers but not one, so far, has been able to cook it medium rare.
In short order the tallest burger I've ever seen arrived. I don't have a ruler, but my best guess is that the sandwich is about 6 inches tall. It arrived open-face, loaded, as ordered, with a thick, medium rare, Impossible Burger, shredded lettuce, tomato, fried onions, and cucumber slices, piled high on a lightly toasted Ciabatta roll, gently spread with a refreshing vegan mayo.
Before closing the sandwich, I added a dollop of ketchup. Then holding the middle of the sandwich, I took nibbles along the edge. The nibbles turn into bites as I devoured the sandwich. The chef prepared it perfectly. I had also ordered Shoe String Fries. The combination is absolutely delicious. But, try as I might, I left quite a few fries.
The well trained staff is gracious, and friendly. They checked to see if everything was okay. It was.
Expensive, yes. Worth it, definitely.
STUFF: Easy free parking in the rear of the eatery. Walking up the ramp or a few steps takes you to The Counter's rear entrance. Follow the hallway into the dining room. The code, to unlock the large, clean restrooms, can be supplied by any staff member. Everything is ADA compatible.
*Jeff Weinstein opened the first "The Counter" eatery (2003) in Santa Monica California. During the following twenty-three years the chain has grown to 45 locations worldwide: United States, Mexico, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, and Japan.
It's a take away pizza place with a few tables and a funky statue. It's also conveniently open past midnight and has a commercially made gluten free pizza crust. Vegetarian pizza had generous toppings but we were too hungry to take a picture. Long read trip. Thanks Mr. Pizza.
Came here because we saw online that they were Celiac friendly and took allergies seriously. Fries don’t share a fryer with anything else. Gluten-free bun, and they clean the stovetop before they heat it up. Burgers and fries were excellent.
Edit: 3 hours later and husband is still fine. Legit!
OMG, outstanding burgers! Love the fries, too. The craft root beer is amazing. Gluten free buns are delicious. Friendly staff, quick service! Our new fave spot!
Amazing! Seriously. Simply looking place with great burgers. Ordered Good Stuff burger with avocado and gluten free bun. I will be back for more. Very sweet cashier as well.
My kid who can’t eat gluten aways wanted to try to gluten free fish and chips, finally had the time to drive to the boardwalk to try The Wee Chippy. Paid 18 bucks to park, walked over, only to find there are no gluten free fish and chips. Told they’re having a supplier issue. How about removing it from your menu if it isn’t available?
One of the best spots for catering in LA! We’ve ordered 3 times now for team lunches and it’s consistently good, always a hit with our employees and clients. Ingredients are fresh and the portions are filling. Great options for vegan and gluten-free. Highly recommend!
We've been to a few different The Stand locations in SoCal. It's got a great atmosphere and really nicely designed interior. There are options for vegetarians and gluten free folks and you can even get beer on tap for a full on adult experience.
We hadn't been in a while because they eliminated their Impossible burger option for vegetarians and generally have found that veggie burgers that are attempting to impersonate meat do a better job at providing a burger experience than almost any house-made patty. We came by the Northridge location as a large group of folks we knew were gathering there to give the "Stand Custom Patty" – unfortunately we're sticking with our original assessment. It just isn't as good as a Beyond, Impossible or true "faux meat" patty. That's just our opinion. Some people might love it, but their house-made patty doesn't really simulate a burger experience as good as the others do. (Three of us got it and had the same opinion.)
From our perspective, if want to have an American burger and fries experience, we want it to be as close as possible to the real thing. This veggie patty with black bean forward flavor (also rice, quinoa and various spices) provides a different experience, which on it's own terms is probably fine, but isn't really the burger experience my vegetarian family is looking for.
The staff was friendly. We were there on a crowded Friday night. No one came to wipe a table we sat at after asking a staff member if that could happen. The side sauces we asked for weren't the ones that were brought so we had to ask again.
Free unlimited containers of pickles is a pretty good feature...but with so many options for, what we consider, a real (albeit vegetarian) experience at so many restaurants everywhere, unless The Stand brings back something like the Impossible Burger they used to have, we likely won't be back.
I asked for a gluten-free sub and was met with the response that my food would take slightly longer as the sides had to be sanitized to ensure no cross contamination took place. On top of this, my server also changed their gloves to help with this. The staff really couldn't have been any more friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed it so much I had to go back a second time on my trip to L.A.
Staff was great, food as expected. They rock gluten free buns which was clutch with my 8 years old daughter, I could finally share this family tradition with her. THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THE PROMO POSTERS BLOCKING THE WINDOWS. Such a shame
I got the spicy salmon burrito. 🌯 it was amazing. I liked the blend of flavors of avocado, cucumber, salmon and rice. It tasted like the sauce was boomboom sauce, but I didn’t read the finer details to confirm that. It was yummy. This place is recommended for people who need gluten free. There is no cross contamination at this place.
