The food was absolutely delicious. My group of 6 people had food allergies (shrimp and gluten) and our server, Chyane, was very kind and made sure that the kitchen was informed of our allergies. She answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Chyane is awesome!
Group of friends enjoyed great food last night at Bella in Springfield, Il. Great salads and our main dishes were awesome! Fish, chicken, and of course pasta. Gluten free option too! Staff was fun and attentive.
I came here for breakfast on a Tuesday in July. The space had lots of natural light and was clean. Strong A/C too. I mentioned I need gluten-free options, and the owner gave an excellent overview. It was clear they had put a lot of thought into accommodating customers with this food sensitivity. I had a decaf iced Americano coffee and a loaded strata. It had bacon and sausage on top of egg and was covered in gruyere cheese. Tasty! It also came with fresh fruit and a side of gluten-free toast. When I was finished I felt satisfied and well cared for. One of the best breakfasts I had while visiting Springfield.
Really glad we found this place!! We were glad for the gluten free options — best gf pizza crust we’ve had and the ingredients were super flavorful. They even let us know their pasta is corn based and their pizza is rice based - so helpful to know! We also had a gf chocolate mousse :) the whole group keeps saying this place was an awesome find!!
Nice atmosphere, clean restaurant, good pizza!
I was happy to introduce my friends to Monical's Pizza at this establishment, they were all impressed and enjoyed the food.
They offer gluten-free crust, and I have never gotten sick from contamination at any Monical's location.
I go to Finley's regularly and they always take incredible care of me!! I am gluten free and have never had an issue eating there.
Madison is an absolutely fantastic employee and I always love when she is there!!
Food was great, but my favorite thing about this place was how amazing the service was! It's been a long time since I've had the chef at a restaurant come up to my table to personally check on how we're doing and share their techniques. Incredible experience. Plenty of gluten free options too! Pretty much the whole menu is gluten free!
The drive thru service wasn’t working so I placed my order at the first window. Simple order: regular black coffee and a gluten free muffin. The cashier hardly gave me the time of day, only to give me the total on my order. I picked up the order at the second window without even a thank you. I got halfway across town before taking a drink of the coffee, allowing it to cool somewhat, and was glad to be at a stoplight so I could spit it out. My black coffee was loaded with cream and sugar. I immediately called to ask if I could take it to the westside location to get the correct order, since that was much closer to my next appointment where I was going. After waiting on hold about five minutes, while still progressing toward my westside appointment, I was told no, but they would write down my name and I could get it tomorrow. I waited until I got to the office to try the muffin. It was absolutely the worst tasting gluten free muffin I’ve ever had. One bite and it also went in the garbage. I see it this way, that’s probably the worst $7.68 I’ve ever spent. Never again.
Burgars are frozen Walmart burgars .. very thin and dry.. up charge for a gluten free bun 1.79$ plus 13$ sandwich was not worth it.. fries were partly raw.. covid killed this buisness.. was not worth 37$ for some burgars that were clearly not from Red Robin’s
I’d share my picture but don’t know how too..
I came for dinner on a Friday night. I ordered a small gluten-free pizza and a root beer. Staff was super friendly and welcoming and gave me a tip for sightseeing. I ate there. The pizza arrived hot and fresh to my table. The crust had a nice consistency and flavor, which can be hard to find with gluten-free. This restaurant is a great option if you are exploring Springfield around the state buildings and the Lincoln sites.
Our first Mediterranean food experience 😋 We really liked this unique food. If you like garlic and jalapeño and your endorphins being activated, get the garlic jalapeño sauce on top. The falafels are delicious along with the bowls with the ingredients of your choosing. I got a bowl with humus on the bottom, lots of raw veggies and eyro meat.
$4.99 Wednesday speacil is a huge pita bread roll up with 6 falafels and your choice of sauce and veggies. If you avoid gluten then just tell them you can't eat bread and they will make a bowl for the same price. We liked it so well that we've been there twice and planning on a third visit. It's worth the 40-minute drive.
My daughter and I came here for a late dinner. My daughter had Celiac Disease so we have to be super careful where we eat. I'll be honest, there aren't many gluten-free options here, and they don't have a separate gluten-free menu but, we shared the chicken and goat cheese sandwich on a gluten-free bun and it was delicious. Although the server (Ben) seemed very cavalier at first (and made me nervous by it), in the end, he took very good care of us. The food was delicious. For drinks, I had the Victory Cerveza Lager with Lime. I'm not a huge craft beer person but this beer reminded me of a Corona. My daughter had the Pino Noir and she said it was delicious. As it turns out, they own the building next door and it has Bocce Ball, Corn Hole, and a cool looking bar. I'll definitely go back if I get the chance.
Our meal at Vele was phenomenal. The food was comparable to high-end restaurants in cities like Las Vegas. Our group had people with vegetarian, gluten, and no food-related restrictions and everyone was very happy with their meal. The cocktails were also great. The staff/service also needs to be mentioned. Our server was excellent. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Vele is a great addition to Springfield, IL.
I’ve been several times now, trying different menu items each time, and I’m always wowed. Their food is so good, and offering four different EXCELLENT crust options is impressive. Their gluten free pizza and chopped salad are both the best I’ve ever had. It’s nice to see a small business in Springfield have a steady flow of dine-in and pickup customers. They seem to be doing really well. Honorable mention: dessert selection of homemade cakes, cannolis, cookies, and gelato in the freezer
My daughter is Gluten Free and has been craving Alfredo. We have looked everywhere for a place that has a GF Alfredo. She absolutely loved her food. We will be back.
After telling my server I have a gluten allergy, the manager came over and told me she informed the kitchen staff and server best practices in dealing with meals served to people with gluten allergies !
Love this store! I am gluten-free, and even though I live in Portland, Oregon, they have way better gluten-free selections at affordable prices. After shopping here I am sp disappointed with the stores in Portland. I know it's now possible to have good gluten-free foods that aren't super expensive. I found the same item I bought here for $7.99 is $10.99 in Oregon. I can't afford that.
They have a gluten-free menu available. The cashier is great about letting them know it's a gluten-free order and the kitchen staff change out their gloves. The food is delicious.
Delicious gluten-free options, with high-quality ingredients. The chocolate mass cheesecake is wonderful! I look forward to supporting this local bakery when I need something sweet and GF.
This review is based on the fact that I visited this location with 100 middle school students on a pre-planned field trip and another school showed up about 15 minutes into our visit. The staff had a pretty good plan to only let 25 percent of my students out of their seats at one time. That worked well until the other group showed up while my last group of students were getting their drinks. After that, it was difficult for the restaurant staff to keep up with the food demand of the students. It was really good that they had other food options that middle schoolers were interested in, other than pizza. There was plenty of that, but a delay on some pizza options. I was really impressed that the restaurant had veggie and gluten-free free options for students and me. The gluten-free option was actually gluten-free because my body negatively reacts to any cross contamination or residue. The staff did do a pretty good with keeping the area clean with spills and students using plates just one time. The entire visit could have been more pleasant, if both schools weren't there at the same time. (It looked like 50 students from the other school.) The facility wasn't big enough to accommodate that many students at one time. If I go back with that many teenagers, I would insist on us having the location to ourselves for an hour. That should reduce the crowds at the serving lines and students needing to wait for certain types of pizza.
First time I went. About 2:30pm I am Gluten free and less busy times are easier to get the attention to my needs from servers that are less stressed. I also used to be a server I get it.
The place was clean decent crowd for the time. And got busier as I finished my bowl. Very much liked it. I had a little bit I’ve veggies and shrimp n calamari. Cpl bits of steak n chicken with “2” sauces. Yum yum and garlic. Cpl shakes of season. Everything was cooked thru not burnt but a little grill taste was perfectly done. Wish I remembered who actually cooked it I would request that person next time.
I foresee one minor issue. In the future there will be an assembly line to make the bowls instead of doing it ourself. Because of people like my ex, it was a let’s talk kinda date as he changed and his bowl said a lot about not changed at all. (I walked away after talk, ex is ex for a reason)
Any ways about the food. Highly recommend but please pleass for cost not to go up it’s perfectly priced. But if every one takes advantage of the price like my ex does it won’t stay cost effective.
So if you are one of these bowl fillers. Shout out to you, as you will be to blame for price change and you will be the first to complain about the changes too.
Now can we get one on the east side? Prob not for a long time be respectful when filling your bowl. Don’t be greedy O. Fresh.
Pic below decided to share the clip too if it loads
As soon as we walked in the aromas told us we had to stay, even though there was a (brief) wait. The place was packed but the two servers and the kitchen kept everything moving. The food was excellent and we both are more than we had planned to because it was so compelling. Very helpful with gluten-free needs. Yum!
I mostly order through DoorDash for my work breaks. I am happy they have gluten free options, with celiac it is hard to find options especially amazing food like this. I can’t wait to find time to come in and enjoy the atmosphere.
I dined solo on a Saturday night. I made a reservation at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The Caesar salad had pistachios, which was an interesting twist. It was not a traditional Caesar. They were able to accommodate my gluten-free diet, which was great. The lamb loin main dish was interesting. The Colorado lamb was not at all gamey, which surprised me. It did seem a bit tougher to chew than I expected. The dessert was tasty. I was seeking a special experience and this place delivered. It seems to be one of the more creative restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend it. Make sure to make a reservation!
I would highly recommend Yellow Bird Coffee House. We were hosting a last-minute engagement celebration and they were so helpful. We were able to put in a last-minute order for their delicious cinnamon rolls. The owner opened his business a half an hour early to pick them up in time for the party. We also ordered one of their delicious, gluten friendly quiche, it’s a must if you love quiche.
Home Plate was the Grand Slam of our weekend. Charcuterie Board Appetizer was a huge hit. We are Low Carb with a gluten allergy & this hit the spot. Chicago style brats & dogs with no buns & side salads that were nice size! All were appealing to the eyes & the appetite. Manager stopped byvto check on us, owner checked on us (& others). This Sportsbar is a must visit. Variety of games on all the TVs. Oh...and we ordered a spicy sausage pizza to go....the sausage is the crust! Hope we are back soon! Check this place out!
I ordered 10 XL extravaganzza pizzas, 4 32 piece plain wings, 6 Mediterranean Veggie sandwiches, 1 gluten free veggie pizza, and 20 sauce cups of each kind…my order was made so well and I am extremely satisfied!!!! Jesse is the best general manager I’ve ever spoken to!!! He took care of all my needs and even told me to have a great night!!! Best dominos ever!!!!
Celiac friendly
