I have a severe gluten and dairy allergy and I order gluten free crust and vegan cheese and have never gotten sick. They make the gluten free pizza in a designated area to try and prevent any cross contamination. I drive 60 miles one way to eat at this restaurant because it is so good!

This is a super cute breakfast spot. And all the servers were really friendly and attentive even during their weekend rush. My wife tried the oat pancakes (gluten free option) and did not like. They are too dense for pancakes. I got the gravy and biscuits with smothered/loaded potatoes and eggs. My meal was delicious. They are doing those biscuits and gravy right!!

The chicken truly is all natural, you can taste it. Also, the gluten free options are amazing. They aren't dry or hard at all! I really enjoyed my meal here.

This was a magical find! The food was authentic with exceptional flavour profiles, the atmosphere was friendly and inviting, and the staff were attentive and accommodating. I am celiac, and items were well marked when either gluten-free or able to be prepared vegan. Although they do not have a dedicated prep area as far as we know, they were very careful and I have had no issues. Serving sizes were large and a meal meant for two, served three with leftovers to be taken home. We definitely will be back!

A nice place with great food. Oh man, those crescent are wonderful. My previous favorite was their chicken tenders or salmon. Recently gluten free, so went with a salad on our last visit. Great place for a family group.

The burrito bowls are a bit expensive, but I can usually get 2-3 meals out of them. It's unfortunate that they no longer offer gluten-free corn tortillas.

great labeling of things are explicitly gluten free (rice cakes, rice noodles, gf soy sauce) but I think there are other things that could be labeled gluten free as well and would make a celiac like me more comfortable having a more flavorful dish! (tofu cubes, ponzu sauce, chili oil)

Have been here a few times with great results every time. They paid great attention to gluten-free protocols when someone who was visiting us needed it. The food is always fantastic, especially for the price. And they have frequent free guacamole campaigns. Who could ask for more from a burrito place?

This has been our ‘go to’ chinese place for years. Last three times we’ve gone- the food has been sub par. The egg rolls are not cooked inside tonight will be the last time we order from there. My fried rice (i asked for gluten free) was not gf and the rice was barely cooked

The food was super hot, fresh, and was absolutely amazing. The Orange chicken, and the sesame chicken is the best I've had so far. I eat there a lot and every time it is the same amazing quality. They also can make gluten free sesame or orange chicken I think any chicken that’s breaded they can make gluten free and it’s still freaking fire!!!!!

Gluten-free options, galore ! I went searching online for a local place that would offer yummy food and have some gluten-free options. I called and spoke with a very kind and attentive woman - she recommended that I come in since it was my first time so she could make sure I could know exactly what I was able to order. Their menu doesn't have gluten-free dishes listed on it - that being said, I told her what I was looking to order, and she was able to accommodate the dishes to be gluten-free. ( orange & sesame chicken ) it means no batter on the chicken, which i appreciated her knowledge and explanation . The wait was pleasant, and the decor was lovely. The food was delightful and I will be back again! Great portion sizes, and the flavor was delicious.

We asked for gluten free and they missed the fact that imitation crab does have gluten in it. Luckily no one is allergic and we do it as a preference but worth noting for future consumers. Asian cuisine is very hit and miss in Colorado especially in this region. I would have liked slightly more crispy textures on our dishes. Worth another shot sometime in the future.

Don't come here if you're gluten-free. The sushi rice, miso soup, salad dressing, and mayo mix in the spicy tuna all had something with gluten in them. At least they had tamari sauce. I ended up with 8 pieces of sashimi, a side of plain brown rice and a dry salad for $14. The sashimi was delicious. The wait staff was helpful in trying to find a gluten-free solution. With so many people gluten-free now, they really would be smart to reformulate their recipes.

My husband really liked his slices... The gluten free pizza I had was so gummy and the flavor just wasn't there. Over $20 to only manage to get 1.5 slices down before the gummy texture took over and had resort to just eating the cheese and toppings. Husband says he would go back. Unfortunately as a gluten free person I won't be back.

I've been working at the district for only a few short months, but really enjoy the food, and the kindness that Rick and Liz show me every time I order. They have worked with me to accommodate my gluten intolerance, and they always inform me of the available options when I order. I also greatly appreciated the gluten free lasagna at the holiday lunch! It was delicious, and it was also nice to have Italian like everyone else. Holiday events are difficult for us with allergies, and it was nice to be considered.

It's not called Zingers anymore, but this app is calling it that. I've been going there since it was called Creekside, before Zingers. I've loved them all! It is really convenient to have this good restaurant right in the neighborhood! They have great gluten free options, the gf buns are excellent. The manager said that more food choices will be on the menu in the future.
