Yummy gluten free options!! Felt safe here :)

Had great experience in this bakery w/Rockville Vegans for two different events, Matzah Pizza and the Cake Decorating Competition! The food is all gluten free and items that are vegan as well as dairy free are each marked in different colors on the menu which is very helpful for different dietary restrictions. Jamie, the owner, is very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend!

I've been Gluten Free for over 10 years. Josephine's bread, waffles, rolls and pastries are the best of any bakery, without exception, that I have enjoyed since being diagnosed with Celiac.

Szabina Taylor

Love this gem. The food is so delicious and the smoothies are out of this world. Everything is organic, vegan, and gluten free. This place is a must try even if you don’t have dietary restrictions. This is because the food is fantastic!

I recently visited Truefood, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the variety of options, catering to both health-conscious eaters and those with specific dietary needs. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just looking for something light and tasty, Truefood has something for everyone. Overall, Truefood is a top-notch restaurant that I highly recommend. If you're looking for healthy, delicious, and beautifully prepared food, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back soon

I am so excited to have found this place! My youngest daughter is diagnosed Celiac Disease and so cannot have even the slightest bit of cross contamination in her food or she'll be sick. On Christmas Eve I called to see if they had a dedicated gluten free fryer (my girl loves fries!). I was told no but the man, Jason, who turned out to be the GM, encouraged us to go anyway because they have such an extensive gluten free menu. I'm glad we gave it a try! When I arrived Jason told me he decided to make a gluten free dedicated fryer in his kitchen and had already started it up to be ready for my daughter's fries! On top of that, the staff were all lovely and the food was *amazing*! Jason, if you see this, thank you again! It's rough for a 13 yr old with Celiac Disease; your kindness made a difference! We will be back!!

Best gluten free option in Westfield mall. Sometimes I'll go here just to grab this delicious all gluten free Korean food. The mall food court is always very crowded so can be here to find seating and quite loud.

Rachel Cobbs

The sickest out celiac family has ever been. Has come from this place. We got the chicken enchiladas and the gf mac and cheese. I even confirmed the noodles were boiled in their own water, clearly they were not when we discovered another noodle from another dish with the food.

This restaurant had been on my list for a while, and I’m glad I finally visited with friends. It’s always packed when I walk by, and now I see why. The hostess and staff, including Partner, who was kind, funny, and brought our wine, made us feel welcome. Our server, Crystal, provided excellent service with helpful recommendations that suited my picky eating. The menu included a few great options for my gluten-free and vegan friends, and the food met all our expectations. The desserts, especially the crème brûlée and pistachio brownie, were outstanding. I look forward to returning to try more seasonal offerings. Thank you, Silver, for a wonderful dining experience!

Splurge - worth it. Have ordered through Postmates for self and work meeting. Always a big hit. Love the options for gluten free bun or place on mixed greens.

Wendy Caputo

The restaurant location is a little obscure and a bit hard to find. Once we arrived, we were surprised by the diner like decor of the restaurant and how empty it was. Super super impressed with their ability to accommodate gluten-free options! We ordered appetizers and entrees - overall, the food was delicious, very well prepared, & good size portions. The kitchen turned around the food orders quickly. The service was definitely lacking. Our server was a bit nutty, had an attitude, and had to be reminded of segments of our order. Don't appreciate feeling like we are inconveniencing him for having a 7pm reservation. If that was later than he wanted to stay, then they should stop taking reservations beyond 6 pm. I don't think our expectations were high for service - just looking for our server to be nice. Eye rolling when taking our order is not professional nor respectful. While the food was great, I'm not sure we will return...too many good restaurants in the area that care about customer service.

I have been here three times because they have gluten free brownies and now I am pretty sure this is the most overhyped bakery in this area. 1. the staff are totally untrained in even basic human courtesy. They act as if they are giving free food to the customers. 2. The brownie size, appearance and taste are inconsistent. Once we were given a broken brownie that was half the thickness of a decent one on the shelf. 5$ for that is beyond ridiculous. Overall, would never recommend this place and actively discourage others from going there.

Clint Bader

My wife and I were in town on a short business trip and decided to try Gregorio’s. The entire experience was stellar, my wife is on a gluten free diet and their menu has dozens of options. The food was fantastic, big shout out to Melo for his hospitality as well as giving me the tiramisu and cheesecake since I couldn’t make up my mind. Highly recommend!

I love OPH. They have delicious gluten-free pancakes and waffles and tons of great options for normal eaters. I used to adore their crepes when I was a normal eater.

Kay Fedewa

if you are gluten and dairy free, this is an excellent pizza. they use a special df cheese that you can't get where I'm from I'm the Midwest. closest to real cheese ive ever tasted.

Maansi Sahay Seth

The food was good but i got a to-go order of a gluten-free serrano sandwich and it’s UNCOMFORTABLY BRIGHT blue. i tried to call to asks what could have happened or if it would be safe to eat but they don’t have a number :( (i posted a pic of the sandwich in photos so you can see it) not sure id eat here again...

Jaclyn Martinez

Has an entire gluten free menu. Finally had sushi after many years with celiac. Food was delicious and staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about menu and gluten. Will definitely be going back!!

Bern

We’ve been going to Mon Ami Gabi for a few years. The food and service is always great. Everyone is attentive and kind. But lately, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting Braulio and he is the best!!! He remembers us from previous visits, he always greets us with a big smile, and he’s always happy and friendly. He even remembered my gluten allergy. He is wonderful and always makes our visit so much better!!! Thank you for everything!! We’ll see you again soon!!

Doug Mc

Friendly and accommodating. I have dietary restrictions and they helped me find a gluten-free, dairy free, tomato-free meal that was absolutely delicious! I wound up with a basil pesto, chicken, GF pasta and house salad. Reasonably priced for a dinner.

Julie

I tried their birria quesadillas made with corn shells. The meat had great flavor. The birria broth had a touch too much cinnamon for my taste, but it was still good. They were very accommodating with my gluten allergy. The waiter was able to tell me what was gluten-free and what I should avoid. I really appreciate it when the wait staff can answer my questions regarding allergens. It was a busy night. All the tables inside were full. The hostess opened the enclosed patio (with heaters), so I didn't have to wait, which I was totally fine with. Inside was very loud with people talking over the music and other people, so I was grateful to sit on the patio and enjoy my dinner.

Ashley

Such a cute little place, service was great ! I have celiac and they were great at accommodating to gluten free restrictions ! :)

Staff does not know what gluten-free means. This co. has a serious training issue. Avoid.

Jess R

Super kid friendly, so good and kind about kiddos. Always see tons of families there for lunch on the weekends. Great gluten free options!

David Fielding

Pizza places may be in abundance anywhere you go, but many times you just have to have Ledo pizza. The wonderful crust in a square pizza, always overflowing with toppings. I always eat the corners first, then the edges its so tasty. The gluten free crust is the best anywhere and they also have cauliflower version. The definition of a family restaurant. Such a great patron of the community and a diverse staff of friendly faces.

We had a great time here! Might seem like a petty thing.... I loved that the person who answered the phone, I think his name was Ricky, spoke English well and was very happy and professional on the phone! The restaurant was clean, knowledgeable about the menu, friendly staff, wearing full mask - not the “chin” mask. I could see the kitchen staff was masked as well. Food came out fairly quick. Our table had the sesame cauliflower and chicken kabab for appetizer. Our friend is gluten free and there were many options. We left full and happy! Highly recommend. Loved the decor and the windows that open up to the street!

Kathy Kendall

Wonderful Italian vibe with delicious pizza. I had excellent gluten free. My son had regular gluten full pizza. The arugula salad was good bt the dressing was a little tangy for my taste.

Erica Law

Small restaurant but food is yummy! They also have gluten free noodle (I believe it's buckwheat) options which is always a plus! You can choose egg, udon or gluten free.

Hannah Feldman

We love coming back to this restaurant year after year for their delicious food and exceptional service! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Everything is made fresh and delicious and there are some unique dishes to pick form. There is gluten free pasta available for the pasta dishes. Really great quality food. Portion sizes were very reasonable for a dish, nothing too crazy. Definitely get a dessert! The chicken piccata was very well made, the risotto was a Greta vegetarian dish, and the pasta are all incredible.

The cheesecake factory is always a great place to go eat. They have a huge menu with all kinds of options, including low-calorie and gluten-free the turkey avocado sandwich that I had this time was delicious with the side salad. The service was great. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and it was conveniently located inside the mall.

Julie

This is my go-to mexican restaurant. Their food is always fresh and delicious. I have a gluten allergy, and they do their best to accommodate. I normally order the burrito dorados with corn shells instead of flour tortillas. I tend to go in the off hours either between lunch and dinner or after dinner rush so it's normally quiet. They also have outside seating, which is a nice option.

David Coleman

This is an awesome place with tons of gluten free options very tasty

N LeeM

Wish they had their dairy free chocolate truffle by the scoop. It's amazing. Right now they only have dairy free limon curd with pound cake, so it has gluten. Friendly staff.

Annie Allen

Great gluten free pizza. Not for celiac folks though. Baked in same oven as wheat pizzas but great if GF is your preference.

Kate Carr

Six of us shared a most delightful evening at CHERcher . Wonderful menu, complete with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Great service, great food and fun!

Great brunch. House made gluten free bread and several other gluten free options. Great service from Alexa!

Adam Ridgeway

Deborah Altman

Menu is well marked with GF and other allergens. wait staff is helpful in how to alter a menu item to accommodate GF

Elizabeth Challenor-Reese

Very limited menu of steak or Portobello mushrooms. If you don't eat steak there are no other protein options. The mushroom was good. The fries and mushrooms are gluten free.

True diner vibes here, and some great pricing to boot! I recently got very sick and in the middle of a celiac/gluten diagnosis and they were great today. I mentioned I was gluten free and I heard her expressly tell the cooks I was celiac, no toast or bread etc. Got me some slice tomato and had some amazing eggs! A new spot for me for sure

Heidi Hill

They took my gluten allergy super seriously, noted it, changed their gloves without needing me to ask and even refunded the elote I ordered and let me me know there was cross contamination before they gave it to me. Also the food is delicious.

I went here on a Saturday right before rush hour seemed to hit. It was not crowded until much later into our meal. I found the seats comfortable and staff friendly and attentive. Beer: This has a much greater range of options that anyplace that isn't a beer specialty restaurant. They also have seasonal and specials (being October there was some pumpkin flavors, gross). They serve in several sizes the largest being 25oz. Which lasted me an entire meal and for only $7.50 I felt I got my moneys worth out of it compared to a cocktail. I recommend knowing what you like or asking for a sample tasting before getting a giant beer. For price and variety of flavors and sizes this was excellent. Food: You'll find the classic American style of options but also some extra options you wouldn't expect. I ended up with a Mac N cheese with chicken and bacon mixed in. This was excellent, and they have a separate gluten free menu. However it should be noted that the menu is "gluten sensitive" and may not be for people with Celiac's. I would inform the server of your allergy to double check they prepare it safely. Serve went very well and I know not everyone will have the same experience. But hopefully the resturant will make amends for your issue. For the few times I've been I found this to be a pleasant experience and a price point to match.

Walked in, ordered and food was ready in 10 minutes. They offer Gluten Free choices, a big plus! The Pho soup was great! Definitely recommend.
