Always looked like a fun place when I drove by and finally went a few weeks ago with friends for dinner. It was amazing. Our waitress, Brenda, was incredibly kind and helpful. She talked us through the menu and made great recommendations. We all ended up getting the grilled arepa llanera- a delicious combo of avocado, steak and cheese with a sauce. We also tried different sides- I had the tequenos which were sooo good. For beverages - they had a great happy hour and we got $7 blackberry sangria that was a perfect addition. I think we all enjoyed it. But I will say our overall favorite was their green garlic sauce. They need to bottle it- its that good! Also- almost EVERYTHING was gluten free! Overall it was a great experience. Will definitely go again!

Had a fabulous meal! My mom and I are gluten free and there were so many delicious options. Definitely try the buffalo fried oysters and red crab dip. We sat at the bar and Whitney offered fantastic service. She had great menu suggestions.

I really debated about posting this, because I’ve been a frequent customer. Unfortunately this is a big safety concern for anyone who has allergies or sensitivities. On Thursday 11/26/23 around 1:00pm. I sat at the bar and ordered the truffle burger on a gluten free bun. When I received it and took a bite I quickly realized the bun wasn’t gluten free. I politely asked my server if it was gluten free and she responded no and grabbed the plate. She didn’t seem concerned or to care at all. But I was ok with that. Then the back of the house manager(assuming) brought out the same burger I took a bite of with a gluten free bun. I ate the burger because I didn’t want to start anything and I thought it would be ok. I ended up having digestive issues. There was no sorry and no one even came to check to make sure I was ok. We paid the bill and still left a 18% tip. I understand times are tough right now and finding passionate employees can be hard at the moment. Unfortunately I believe this is unacceptable. So if you have any food allergies or sensitivities I would stay clear of this place. Unfortunately they really don’t do a great job of honoring those food restrictions.

very good southern style food! my husband had the chicken and waffles and loved it! i can’t have gluten so my options were more limited but had the cobb salad with salmon and it was delicious!! i was going to have the filet but this location was out the day we went, i assume it’s a popular item! the happy hour is fantastic, $5 cocktails and the appetizers are $6!

1st time and loved gluten free pizza!

The food was decent, but overpriced. The service was pretty attentive. It seemed like they were trying, but there were several little issues that added up. We had a large group, they asked right when my wife and I got there if we wanted an appetizer and kindly gave us time to look over the menu, but hurried away when they came back the next time so we couldn't order. We realized after we left that we never got our salad wraps that we paid for. 😂 The food was decent, but for the price, I was expecting something special. I know its not authentic by any means, but it was just kinda greasy. They mixed up our checks. The first check said gratuity included, but the final check after credit card said gratuity not included, which is deceptive (not the servers fault). We had someone with celiac in the party, and they ordered all gluten free, but still had a bit of a reaction.

As always, had a great sandwich... And the BEST gluten-free bread I've ever had.

Amy May

I love the gluten-free option for the bagel with vegetarian sausage! Great customer service as well as coffee. I highly recommend.

Penny Harris

My Sister and I stopped in for lunch. They were pretty busy, which made parking interesting, and we chose available seating at the bar. The wait to get our food was a little long -- I'm sure, based on how busy they were. We shared the Hunter Burger and Beet Salad. My Sister also got the sweet potato biscuit with ham to go. The food was all excellent and the service was great. Cool little eccentric decor. Sitting at the bar also provided us an opportunity to chat with other patrons. And, they have a bakery next door with lots of goodies, including Gluten-free offerings. Definitely recommend.

The food was good I really like to salad bar and they have gluten-free buns too nice place nice people

Torren Gatena

The food was very good. My fiance has a severe gluten allergy due to celiac disease. She has an app that tells her gluten free safe spots and this location happens to be one. We ordered gluten free food for her, and they messed up by not recalling it to be gluten free.. no problem. They fixed it and we went to eat outside. My fiance went back inside to get cutlery for her food and overheard jokes being made about gluten free food by employees and a fellow customer.. She was very upset and it ruined how excited we were for for food.

Anne Wrinn

No gluten free rolls. Chicken is good.

Vianney Armer

Enjoy a solid brunch here! There’s many good food choices. Seating can accommodate small and large parties. Eggs Benedict are creative and worth a try! Big fan of the carnitas hash. One item is explicitly listed as gluten free, but there are many items that can be modified to support that dietary restriction. The kids menu has breakfast and lunch varieties. It’s inexpensive between $5-7. A drink is not included. Apple juice cup is an additional $3. My non-eater child happily ate his grilled cheese with fries. Enjoy a single mimosa for $4. That’s a win! The boozy coffee drinks are solid brunch drink choices. Customer service is great. The staff was friendly and chatted with my child. Overall, good place to enjoy brunch.

Jennifer Baxter

Excellent visit as they had gluten free bread/options!!! Still tasty sandwich and helpful employee.

Chris McCabe

As always, a great gluten free option for us. The sandwiches on GF bread are great. Thank you.

She was very attentive to our gluten allergy

Cheryl Steflik

My husband and I really enjoyed the brewery. The hazy IPA and burgers were delicious! And bonus points for them as they have various items that are gluten free.

Roland Downing

I highly recommend this Marco’s. The pizza was fantastic. The gluten free pizza was a hit with my daughter. Colin and the crew were helpful, patient and very friendly. They made us feel welcome. The prices and value are very reasonable. And s military discount does not hurt. Pick this Marco’s for pizza. You won’t regret it!

Kat Smith

Our server was fantastic but the gluten free food was not. With such a large menu, you’d think they would have a gluten free chicken main dish. They don’t. The gf four cheese pasta was mushy and grainy which may have been from they brand of gf pasta they use or overcooking. For the price point, they could get a better quality pasta and some simple gluten free options for those who eat poultry. I would save your money if you have dietary restrictions. For the amount you spend, the quality is low.

Elizabeth Moore-Clark

Ordering from the kiosk was easy. We ate outside; which was lovely and breezy. I liked the fact they have large sanitary wipes on each trash can top for individual use. Our food came hot and in a timely fashion. Our server was kind and accommodating. I had the bbq double cheeseburger without the fried pickles (bbq Colorado). I have celiacs disease so I had the gluten-free bun. I loved that they toasted it! They have the best gluten-free buns! What I disliked was the restroom size. Only 1 toilet; however it was clean.

The ambiance here is very nice, food is great, and they have gluten free options.

Jude Tromburg

My Grandma wanted to take the family out to lunch and she wanted to give this a try as it looked like a good spot. We came in the waitress was very patient and friendly and took our orders for large group of people. Several of my family members also have dairy and gluten dietary restrictions and our waitress was extremely helpful in choosing dishes they could eat. I ended up choosing beef fried rice which was possibly the best fried rice I have ever eaten. Also I highly recommend the almond milk tea it is delicious.

Stephen Pfeiffer

Great Service! Seriously some of the best Gelato I’ve had! Tons of gluten free options and great people!

Wonderful stop for breakfast. My sister has celiac’s and not only did Norah, our server, take extra care to make sure she was taken care of, but the manager came to our table and said he’d make sure the kitchen staff changed gloves and were super careful handling her food. We found out later that the manager actually prepared her food himself. It was a fabulous experience and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food served by wonderful, caring staff.

Karol Hatten

Tried the "gluten friendly" pancakes. They're pretty good. I'm gluten sensitive and had no reaction. Will get them again.

Christine Jones

This place is THE place for Italian. Don’t be skeptical from street view, this place is worth your time. I had the eggplant parmesan and tiramisu. My husband had the gluten free pizza and the crust was so good, we had to double check with the server to make sure it was gluten free (it was). Everything was a 10/10 and we can’t wait to return!

Leta Sharkey

Gluten free burgers and fries...fresh and made to order.

Effie Acosta

Gluten free options and delicious 10/10 Outdoor seating A+

Aeona Seymour

I have celiac disease, and this Jersey Mike’s location was incredibly accommodating of my needs. Big thanks to Brandon for taking such care, ensuring equipment was thoroughly cleaned, gloves changed, everything prepared 100% separately, etc.. and doing so with a great attitude and smile on his face! 10/10 would recommend!

Kelly Turcotte

Had a great gluten free breakfast sandwich. Good service!

The food is fresh and great. Even do gluten-free options!! Will come back again. Great, and well knowledge staff.

Crystal Meekins

Great portions and the food was delicious. I had the Mexican Shrimp Fried Rice because I have a sensitivity to gluten and most of their dishes are prepared with flour tortillas. My husband had the Cowboy Burrito and my mom had their Mole. We were all stuffed when we left.

Erica Rae

So happy to find a gluten free pizza. The pizza was made just the way I liked it! Couldn’t decide so I did half and half. Got the same pizza from another location and this tasted so much better. Fast, easy, quality service.

judy armstrong

They have the Beyond Burger served on a vegan bun, gluten free bun so vegans can eat here. I especially like the live music, beer specials and the great atmosphere. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. I will eat here again.

Very clean and staff was very pleasant. Food is amazing and have a lot of gluten free options! Thus place is a must!

Joyce Drakeford

DELICIOUS! Many gluten free options! Scannable nutrition/food allergy guide right on the table. I recommend downloading the app before you get to the restaurant for ordering. While convenient, there isn't much service in the building and there was a decent wait to order food. However, food came out quickly and was great. I have the flayed chicken breast with mango sauce (just a hint of heat), brussel sprouts - the ranch sauce sounds weird but TRY THEM - and the rice pilaf. Also, I had the frose and it was yummy! I can't wait to go back!

Lori Jean

Can’t believe it took me this long to go here, but so glad I finally did!!! Hands down the BEST service including the person who instagram messaged me back so quickly and was extremely knowledgeable! It’s not easy being gluten free but they sure make it feel that way and also treat you like family not just customers! THANK YOU! Can’t wait to go back! Cheers!
