Incredible GF food!

My first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. If you're gluten intolerant, try the GF bun. OMG, it was sooooo yummy! Great prices too.

They have one of the best gluten free cheeseburgers (including the gluten free bun) I have ever had!

Lioness Studios

We got a gender reveal cake from Amaru and it was perfection! So beautiful and so tasty!!! I also have a ton of allergies so finding a bakery that could do gluten free and vegan?! Unreal. Couldn’t taste a difference. Customer service was also great to work with.

We love coming to Blue Bench- love the option of getting on the wait-list prior to coming down. They also have delicious gluten friendly waffles & pancakes! Our server this morning was Layla and she was wonderful-great service- they always seem staffed well.

Traveling through Boise. Tired of just salads because of my celiac. Stopped here at Outback Steakhouse. They have a gluten free menu to chose from. I ordered the steak, baked potato with side salad. Even the dressings were gluten free! Christina, who served us, was fantastic!

I rarely sit down and take the time to write a review, but I just had to stop and tell everyone about Red Bench Pizza. I’ve been a “Benchie” now for over 20 years, and I haven’t found a better pizza place! If you’re ready to upgrade your palate but still not break the bank, look no further! There is something for everyone here, whether it be pasta, salad, pizza, or dessert (you’ve GOTTA try the cannolis and the ricotta donut bites!) Red bench has unique options that can’t be found anywhere else. They have a great kids menu, to DIE for appetizers (can't go wrong with the Italian nachos!), and they even have gluten-free and cauliflower crust for those that have flour sensitivities. The cheeky menu sports one-of-a-kind pizzas with names like “ En Fuego”, a (spicy chicken favorite that you won’t want to miss), “No Meat, No Cry”, (not your typical veggie pie), and “Magic Kingdom”, (my personal fave) with exclusive toppings like parmesan roasted mushrooms, truffle oil, and garlic oil sauce. I like to pair their specialty pizzas with a nice glass of their Marciano Red house wine. The authentic Italian-style food is consistently good, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients. The open dining area allows you to see the employees prepare your food, and the lively atmosphere is perfect for a lunch date, date night, or a family outing. The customer service is above par for most Boise restaurants. This local gem is a must-stop for locals and tourists alike. A unique twist is the large mural of chef Jose Andres on the Kootenai side of the building, and the “Big Red Bench” out front for photo ops! Close to downtown, Boise State University, the airport, and sitting at the heart of Boise’s iconic Bench neighborhood, Red Bench Pizza is a win-win for all you hungry Boise Benchers!

The pizza was very tasty-- the gluten free crust was better than most. However, the service was terrible (long wait times, server confused with which food belonged to which table despite having order numbers and it being a very slow evening), and the atmosphere was not great. I would have never stopped in off of the street based on the exterior. That said, the pizza was great.

I came to Luciano’s for my mom’s birthday dinner. We were there about 1 hour before they close which I was worried about but they treated us so good! First? Arturo was our waiter and he was quick, kind, so personable and super happy. He didn’t skip a beat. I might even put him on top 5 best servers I have ever had. The food was 10/10. The cannolis are absolutely insane and they are gluten free!! My fav Italian restaurant in Idaho.

Tanya Charles

Was a great Christmas lunch, good service for 6, and food was on point. The flavor was good, and gluten-free was not an issue. There were lots of choices with generous portions drinks and desserts were well balanced

Silke Dayley

Never a let down. Great service, quality salad bar, and wonderful pizza. I stop by every time I’m in town. They also have great gluten free crust for anyone with Celiac’s or a preference to eat gluten free.

If you love ice cream you must go here. When you walk up to this cute little spot, you immediately smell the waffle cones and the goodness and you know everything is going to be delightful. The amazing and super friendly staff greet you with a smile and let you taste literally anything you want which is so nice and they also give great suggestions. There are so many flavors, many of which are gluten free and they even have vegan options. And for those who are looking for a little boozy kick they have something for you too. I cannot recommend this place enough. I loved it so much. I'm going back today.

Stephanie

Loved their gluten-free burrito! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Sandra Casey

Willowcreek Grill always has amazing meals, I love that they have a sushi AND a grilled menu. I am gluten free, and they have lots of options for me to choose from, even including alcoholic beverages (a couple cider choices are available). The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

We came to have lunch and it was very unprofessional. The employees were agueing in the back cause it was shift change. We needed them to make a sandwich and they put the wrong cheese on it and no lettuce. Then I needed gluten free and they had no sign saying they where out of it. They guy told me they have been out of for a week or so. So I got a salad. But the guy had an attitude the whole time that we where here. And couldn't rember what I said I wanted on my salad. Also my boyfriend went to the restroom only to have the girl working here to take a key to the door and walk in on him. This place is messed up. We will not be coming back. Worst place we have ever been and rude.

Maggie

The food was delicious! This is the best Middle Eastern food I have tried. The falafel had the perfect texture and The hummus was creamy and so good. I also enjoyed the chicken and lamb. The servers were knowledgeable about gluten and dairy and were able to assist me in finding what I could eat. The atmosphere was fun and interesting. Overall, this restaurant was amazing and would definitely recommend it.

As East Asian native, I usually don't have high expectations for Japanese restaurants in the US, but this one surpassed all my expectations . The tempura batter was done correctly - light, fluffy and crunchy, and I could tell that they took care not to activate the gluten in the batter. The oyako-don was perfectly balanced - the sauce was not overpowering and they had the correct proportions of chicken, egg and vegetables. The sashimi was cut properly and the donkatsu sauce was also excellent. Very impressed. Thank you for making my Christmas evening (and my first evening ever in Boise) exceptional.

This place is so fresh and delicious! And they have gluten-free noodles as well!!! Also probably the best most crispy pork I’ve had in years. The Singapore noodles were spicy and delicious, house noodles great too.

I am thrilled to discover this local neighborhood family run Chinese restaurant. I stayed with a work group at a hotel near the airport. Rather than Door Dash or settle for Anywhere America cuisine like Applebee's nearby, I set out on foot to see what was open late on a weeknight. Panda Garden stays open til 10:30 weeknights so arriving at 8:50 I had plenty of time for a relaxing supper. I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness of the entire family, who checked on me throughout my meal to be sure all was well. I am gluten intolerant (not Celiac) & with a quick question the gentleman chef was happy to make the roast duck & pine nuts without breading. My meal came promptly and the duck was perfectly tender & scrumptious. The main server brought me my bill at the perfect time, not a moment too soon but didn't leave me waiting. A local couple sitting beside me assured me they have become regulars thanks to the uncommonly doting service & delicious, affordable family made cuisine.

I am giving 4 stars because the staff is always super friendly. It is 2018. Applebee's food is what it always has been, so you will get exactly what it is. This location seems to make sure it is the best possible version of that...and they have an extensive binder for people with allergies, so my gluten free, peanut allergic, lactose intolerant friend loves that.

J.Roxanne Sears

Chubangu my brother, thank you for the home cooked gluten free meal for lunch. I appreciate your time, love and effort in the soul food you made today. 10/10 stars.

Patricia Bowen

Foodland Market has some of the best food in Boise! It's always very fresh and delicious! There's a lot of options for folks who are vegan and gluten free, and the atmosphere is calming.

For our party of 3 we ordered the mole (gluten free thanks to the corn tortilla option), steak quesadilla, and beef street tacos. Each were uniquely tasty! The chips and salsa appetizer was great and I liked that it included a separate bowl of refried beans. I failed to snap a photo since we were so hungry
