Fryer is not gluten free so don't get anything that could be fried like the spare ribs. I have had fried rice, all noodle dishes, chicken and broccoli, green beans, and fresh rolls. no reactions and great flavor. Just doesn't offer dine in.

Red Robin is always a great experience for us! My husband and I took my friend to lunch on this occasion. She had the monster burger on gluten-free bun and garlic fries. I had the shroom burger and sweet potato fries and coffee. My husband had some sort of hot spicy burger and garlic fries and coffee. Our server Michelle was very personable and answered all our questions. The manager asked us how we were doing. The three of us enjoyed our lunch.

When you feel like you have a big appetite for a meal. This is one of the buffet places to go to. Great, delicious food with different selections. Anything you can think of that you might be craving for. Just be careful if you have celiac because there is cross contamination for sure. Drinks like soda, coffee or tea are included what you pay per person. They even have several party rooms for hosting big parties. Just had difficulty in finding parking right away and got lucky to find a spot after going around twice. Harvest buffet in Tacoma it's just the The Feast Asian Buffet in Renton.

A clean and comfortable shop with tons of gluten free options. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and shrimp pho while my fiancé got the beef pho, we both absolutely enjoyed our meals and they stayed hot even after having to take a quick stop before getting home. Broth was aromatic and flavorful and the portions were perfect. 10/10 would recommend if you're celiac and craving Vietnamese food.

We recently had the pleasure of stumbling across this charming Colombian restaurant that boasts an array of authentic Colombian delights. From mouthwatering empanadas to delicious Arepas and alfajores, they’ve truly captured the essence of Colombian cuisine. I was particularly impressed by the option of gluten-free empanadas, a delightful surprise. The restaurant’s attempt to create a retro ambiance added to the overall experience. The only drawback, however, was the price point. My husband and I ended up spending close to $70 for 8 small empanadas and 2 shredded beef arepas, including tips. In summary, the food here is good, and the uniqueness of the dishes is a strong point. While it may be a bit costly, the culinary journey and flavors you’ll savor are worth it if you’re willing to indulge a bit. If you’re a fan of Colombian cuisine, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Ordered gluten free chicken pad Thai for my son and I. Order had very little chicken and also had tofu throughout, wasn't expecting tofu. My son didn't like his and didn't finish it. He's a 15 yo boy, if he doesn't finish a meal something isn't right. Won't be returning.
