I wish I could give pur experience more than five stars. We came in for dinner with our son who has an allergy to gluten and the young gentleman taking our order Jalen was so patient and so sweet to him and to us. He was very dillegent about making sure he had our orders right and even was able to make sure he still received his kids treat after dinner. It is so nice to be able to go out to eat as a family and your child is able to have choices for dinner. So often we have to just do a hamburger patty with no bun and that just doesn't cut it anymore. Thank you for caring about those why have food allergies. Jalen is am excellent employer who strives for customer service.

Road trip back to Tampa from Knoxville and I was craving some Mexican chicken soup, a healthy gluten free go to of mine. You never know what you’re going to get sometimes, so I was taking a chance. The soup here is exactly what I was hoping for. It’s flavorful, not too salty, not spicy, a lot of chicken and veggies, and lime with fresh avocado. I will definitely be adding this restaurant to the road trip favorites! Jaqueline was our server and she was very sweet and helpful. I’m sure there are other delicious menu items, but this hit the spot!

Was out with friends. The waitress was super nice and patient. I am gluten free and they truly had the best cauliflower crusted pizza that I have tasted. The cheese was out of this world fresh. Very eased that I can eat here. For years I wanted to and didn't know they had a crust available! Thanks Johnny's!♥️I felt inclusive in your pizza place last night!

My husband & I absolutely love stopping at Longhorn while we are traveling. It is one of the places that my husband can eat with his dietary restrictions. (Gluten and dairy free) He loves the cowboy pork chops and I love the chicken tenders & and chopped steak with extra mushrooms.

I live around the corner and love this restaurant but have experienced several mistakes in my last orders back to back. The last one I made for five menus was missing a whole sandwich and previously a gluten free bun and a drink (caught the latter tho). Don’t know if the pool of people they are hiring from has changed or if they have experienced recent turn overs but the service is not what it used to be…

Absolutely love Thai time! You get huge portions of amazing food. I have celiac disease and can’t eat gluten, their menus are labeled with what I can and can’t eat. I’ve never gotten sick from cross-contact. This is our favorite Thai place around.

Loved this place😍, I was greeted at the door, the Daiquiri's are Vegan/Gluten-free you can't tell the difference in taste at all. I recommend the Hard Day Daiquiri 😋. My wings was crispy just like I like it and the food came out quickly and hot. You will not be disappointed at this spot.

I haven't eaten atva Olive Garden in 8 years since I became gluten intolerant. Well, eight years later, they have gluten-free options, so I can have my fettuccine Alfredo with blacken chicken once more. They also have a salad with croutons on the side so I can eat too with olive oil and vinegarette. The best part was the drinks. The margerrettas are delicious. My favorite was the watermelon or green apple. These combinations made my date night with my wife special to me. Again, I haven't eaten at an Olive Garden restaurant in 8 years till today. I'm glad they stepped up the plate to accommodate the large going gluten-free population. Our server was super sweet and very friendly. We. Both had a great time for dinner. The staff were very accommodating with my gluten allergy. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return to this restaurant? Absolutely Don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself.

If celiac or gluten sensitive, this restaurant is NOT SAFE despite having g-free buns and menu items. This is a large point in the many list of reasons I will never be coming back to this establishment. I have celiac and communicated heavily with the server, so I thought, despite the incredibly loud speakers. My burger was fine but after eating my sweet potato fries, a gluten free side listed on their website and double confirming there was a dedicated frier, I found fried food at the bottom of my container. Within 10 minutes of eating, I was in immense pain and will not be returning. Staff is uneducated on kitchen procedure and will harm those who cannot have gluten! Also! The restaurant was so loud, not because of guests either! The speakers on the tv’s were turned so loud that the server could not hear us to take our order. We had to yell across the table and even then, several of our party members orders were forgotten from the ticket. The server himself even claimed that the speakers were too loud and he could not hear us properly. Our appetizers alone took 40 minutes to arrive at the table and it was only 2 dishes. We were not visited or checked on until our checks were received and multiple orders had to be corrected. This was a birthday party dinner and we were not a difficult crew to serve. We were very understanding and patient but this was insane.

Great energy coming from the servers. I love the vibe of this place. Not many gluten free options at all but it’s southern comfort food so I wasn’t shocked by that. Good eggs and potatoes. Coffee is hot and services is quick. I’ll be back :)

You get a good amount of food for the price. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I’m gluten free and had to navigate ordering without a bun and getting all the toppings, and they were great at helping me with that. We were amazed at the options for sides and that you could basically get 3 entrees. Definitely recommend the Cajun fries and a milkshake. Really not bad for fast food!

Good healthy option. They have vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. Would not consider it allergy-friendly though because of the high potential for cross contamination. They make the food to order so it’s not super quick. You will wait at least 5 minutes.

Would’ve liked to give ZERO stars but there was no option. My boyfriend just stopped to get subs for both of us but he has a severe gluten allergy..as in ANY GLUTEN WOULD KILL HIM. He was excited when Firehouse Subs started with the gluten free buns so he could finally try them. His sub needs to be very carefully prepared, with absolutely NO cross contamination whatsoever. He has ordered them at the Conyers store and they have cheerfully and carefully prepared with zero cross contamination. But at this McDonough location, the young lady employee (who had been sitting outside on her phone when he arrived) copped a nasty attitude with him several times to the point of him having to tell her to just forget it. The other sub he ordered for me was supposed to be fully involved and was not. This happens frequently. When you have immature kids working in your store that don’t give a flip you will eventually lose business. This Firehouse Sub shop has lost our business for good. Extremely disappointed!!!😡

Mushrooms on gluten free veggie pizza were raw and we had to broil both pizzas to improve crust and cheese melt because they both were undercooked in general. Also, we ordered vegetarian special via online app and added jalapeños and half pizza with vegan cheese and ended up with a whole jalapeno only pizza with gummy cheese on entire pie.

The food was really good, and the beer selection was decent. The service was mediocre. My friend is gluten free, and I'm dairy free. The server was unable to tell us if items were gluten or dairy free. There are very few things on the menu, and the way people are with allergies these days, I would expect the wait staff to know what's on the menu.

Below is my original review, but the service continues to dwindle at this place. Today what appeared to be the manager sat at a table asked if we had been helped but sat there as he looked for his staff. Apparently managment is a passive verb here. We then get sat at the patio to rot. When the food finally came it came with no utensils. We asked the person who brought the food, but we were ignored. We asked the host when he sat more people and were ignored. Ultimately we had to take care of finding our server ourselves. The food was decent. Had the "wicked" sandwich with no bread; gluten allergy. One of the best things I've had in a while. I could eat it every day for a month and it would still be good. Skip the home chips not bad not great; maybe just blah next to such a star of a main dish.
