Wonderful variety of gluten free options! The owners/staff are very kind!

Always busy on a Friday night (for good reason). Tables are close together, but other than that, it's a nice location. Pizza is excellent for a suburb. I grew up in DTown and now live in Philly, and theirs is still probably in my top 5. Family friendly. And they have a gluten free pizza for my dad.

I sure hope whoever it is who makes the pizza’s or decides on what ingredients to use reads this review.. I have been all over the country searching out gluten free pizza’s, including Peurto Rico. (Technically USA) and the only place that even gets close to the level of Pomodoro’s Gluten free Margarita pizza is North fork pizza in Columbia Falls Montana. Even then. They’re a hard second place. The sauce, the cheese, the crust its a masterpiece. Add in the fresh basil and its over. Listen, if you don’t change this recipe you’ll see me coming for as long as I’m alive. I currently drive 45 minutes passing half a dozen pizza places serving “cauliflower gluten free pizza’s” to go to Pomodoros. If i go anywhere near West Chester or downingtown you bet im stopping by. Sincerely Last four digits 9052 see you tomorrow

Always great service, they go above and beyond to make your experience positive. One of the only few places with gluten free options!

My son and I came for brunch one day. Ate half our food. We went to the bathroom. Came back and our food was gone. The busser took it. I spoke to one of the managers. She went above and beyond to apologize. She didn't charge us and gave us another order to take with us at no cost. Great customer service! They have gluten free options which are great! Love the pancakes!

Loved the entire experience. The Shrimp with Grits was absolutely amazing! Our server was also so helpful especially with having a gluten allergy! Can't wait to come back!

I have celiac disease which is a gluten allergy that requires zero cross contamination. I was a little apprehensive going into this but both the hostess and the waiter were very understanding and assured me they could help me. I asked the waiter if the chef can make gf first and gluten food after to avoid contamination (which I saw they did this for another gluten free review writer), the waiter said every chef is different but worst case they can make the food safely in the regular kitchen. So when the chef came around, I asked if he could make mine separately, but he flat out said no it will be contaminated. We of course asked him if they can make my food in the kitchen instead (as the waiter said they could) and he said no that’s not possible. Thankfully, we were able to flag down a waiter and have them cook the gf food separately in the kitchen. Also, our chef did not do any of the traditional tricks (choo choo train, egg in the hat, etc) he really just cooked the food and got out of there very quickly. I just assume he didn’t feel like helping me. So obviously the gf safety and the hibachi experience comes down to the mood of the chef. Again, the staff was incredible and because of their help I was able to eat safely.

Olive Garden is great for all you can eat. It is limited if what you eat is plant strong and gluten free. I recommend the gluten free pasta. Although, it is an egg noodle. So, it is not vegan. I usually ask for asparagus mixed in. You can also ask for a side of broccoli with garlic sauce which is very good. There are no options for gf bread. Sorry

Casa Herrera is one of those restaurants that no matter when you go you’ll still feel as if you are family. What are the best things for Casa Herrera is that it is to the state running by the Herrera family and it shows with how much they care about their customers. We were a party of six that came in we only had a 20 minute wait on a Saturday night which is really great because usually they have an hour wait. Everyone in a party was able to find something to eat including one of the people who was gluten-free. They do serve alcohol here, most of which comes in a huge serving.

1st time at handles got the Stix on a waffles cone it was amazing! Grace was very knowledgeable of the menu and help us pick out a gluten free ice cream for my son. She was sweet and personable! We’ll definitely be back! Loved sitting outside but umbrellas would be a nice touch!

I usually come here later on in the night, like 9 or so. All the locals love this place so there can be a bit of a wait during normal dinner hours, and I tend to avoid crowded areas so I recommend coming later or earlier if you’re the same way. The rotating menu keeps things interesting and I can always find at least a couple things on there that I really like! They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. Places like this are why I eat and drink local!

Great food, amazing ambience… They have a family, friendly area, an adult area, and you can bring your dogs to the outdoor area! Staff was super nice and knowledgeable, they have Udis gluten-free buns for sandwiches, and although the pizzas are gluten-free, they are put in the same oven as the other pizzas and they said there’s a chance of cross contamination. Looks like they do a lot of events and fun nights, will definitely be going back again!

I had a fantastic lunch here with my teenage daughter. She follows a gluten-free vegetarian diet and really enjoyed the gluten-free pita and hummus they had. The jambalaya salad was amazing, with a perfect balance of heat and sweetness. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the current circumstances. We don't dine out often, but I can definitely see us returning here in the future.

Delicious authentic Mexican! The Quesadilla Tarasca with pork Al pastor was extremely good and I loved being able to have some solid deep fried Mexican food gluten free. The tamale could use a little less dough or more meat and a little more sauce but the flavor was good!

I always have problems with the App. I got the taco lovers pass and ended up not being able to get the App to work. I love their tacos and burritos but the last time I splurged and got the fancy steak and bacon grilled burrito and it literally had 3 of the tiniest pieces of meat and the rest was rice. They also do not open in time for breakfast.... 8 am is wayyyyyy to late, so I never can try it 😕 I do love that they have gluten free choices since they are one of the few fast food stores that do, I
