Great food! Caters to gluten and dairy free. I got carnitas en adobo, and chips and salsa. Patrons order online, either at the restaurant entrance or at a table.

You know it’s a classic spot. Gluten free bun was great! I did end up getting sick so there was some cross contamination, which is to be expected given how small the kitchen is - just be prepared!

This was the first time I had been there. We ordered the veggie /meat sampler with gluten free injera. Everything was delicious. The only part I don't enjoy was one of the meat dishes had a lot of fat/grizzle I had to spit out. I will only order the vegetarian one next time. I also had the avacado smoothie. It was kind of bland, but OK ..tasted like diluted avacado with a little sugar. I mostly ordered it to help coat my throat, since some of the food is spicy.

I have been going to the highland grill for over 10 years and it is truly one of the best places in the twin cities. I also recently went gluten free and there menu is well labeled with regards to dietary guidelines 😊

Love eating here. This was an old family favorite growing up and even with updates over the years this place always hits the spot. Perfect portions for days you are super hungry, and for the days you need smaller portions (the specials are amazing) As someone who struggles with dietary issues (Celiac, and autoimmune GI issues) I love coming here knowing I won't get sick. -but my husband, who can eat anything, is a fiend for the caramel rolls and cinnamon rolls A favorite place to brunch with my mom ❤️

We made reservations for dinner here after a play at the O’Shaughnessy Auditorium because of their gluten-friendly menu and the option for outdoor seating. The food did not disappoint and we’ve discovered a new local option for gluten-friendly products - Sunrise Flour Mill in North Branch. What I thought would give us a choice of indoor seating versus outdoor seating resulted in no choice - sit outside or wait. We chose to sit outside despite the heat and enjoyed our company and the food. We’ll go back again and we’ve also found places that carry Sunrise Flour Mill products for our day-to-day baking.

I can't stop talking about this place. It's grab and go, heat and serve... AND SO GOOD. Very accommodating to dietary restrictions. Many vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options. They even have vegan queso and chorizo. The atmosphere is like nowhere I've ever been. This is a very welcoming environment. I was helped by a staff member named Atzin and they were awesome, I had called with a lot of questions and they patient and knowledgeable. They were able to give me additional guidance and recommendations when I was in the store. Okay but the food. So I've been gluten free for over ten years and usually I feel like the food I get is -missing something-. Not here. Food is so flavorful. I can't get enough of the queso poblano! I might also be newly addicted to the cilantro salsa.

Had a great time! Lanchi was very nice and went out of her way to make sure we had a gluten free option even though they had run out of gluten free noodles. (Mac and cheese with rice noodles is pretty good!!) we will be going back again!
