Jessa Crisp

Wowwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best place I’ve been too as a celiac!

Christopher Cannon

Another great trip to Federal! The food is always delicious and lots of gluten free options.

Nicole McKenzie

Great atmosphere to enjoy the wonderful food! Awesome gluten free options!

Lindsay Johnson

Highly recommend this restaurant for a tapas dinner. Everything we tried was delicious and added bonus that it's gluten free.

Christopher Bielinski

Very good food, very good service and a neat atmosphere. Lots of vegan and gluten free options (we had both in our group).

I am celiac and was so excited about this place. The chicken is good, I really can’t complain when i find a place that I can eat at a not worry. The thing that bothers me is the price of the GF beer. It is the most expensive compared to any bar I have ordered it from. $10? Really? I know what a 4 pack costs. I’ve been to the brewery in golden, it’s local and you’re telling me you can’t price it better for your celiac gf customers??? $8 a beer is a profit, $10 is crazy! How do you support a community but overcharge tremendously on locally made beer? I can’t sit and enjoy beer and chicken there. Two beers is $20 on top of the cost of everything gf being up charged. Give us a break on the beer. That is crazy to me! I am so sick of people taking advantage of the GF upcharge? That’s done with now.

One of Denver’s finest restaurants & the best sushi! Wonderful service & they easily accommodate my celiac needs.

I used to work here and I would not say this is a celiac safe place to eat. That was five years ago and they could have changed their practices since then, but when I worked there they had shared production areas and fryers. They are very allergen friendly, but as a celiac, I wouldn't risk it.

First time coming to ‘El five’, my partner and I were first sat in a very awkward table on the edge of the restaurant- thankfully they were accommodating to moving us out to the patio. We were initially asked if we had any allergies (my partner has a gluten allergy and another allergy as well- any consumption of either causes severe debilitating migraines, blacking out, and loss of appetite for at least a week) we were made aware of which options were gluten free- the server was more than knowledgeable about the ingredients and advised us of the fact that they use the same fryer for both gluten and gluten free options. If you have celiac, I would avoid getting food here. We initially were looking to get the eggplant fries which say they’re “gluten free” but yet are not guaranteed. Our server gave us a recommendation based on allergy preference. When the food came out we weren’t sure what we had ordered since we had to switch our initial pick so we were not dealing with any cross contamination. They ended up bringing out the wrong dish to the wrong table and unfortunately my partner consumed a good majority before we were made aware the mistake happened. If you are gluten free or have any sort of allergy definitely be weary of ordering and double check before consuming. They ended up not charging us for our meals thankfully- unfortunately that doesn’t change the mistake made but the gesture was appreciated. On the bright side, the drinks were good and the people working at there were very nice- just be cautious and ask twice. ** Update- definitely a major concern for anyone with celiac, not worth it for the price or the possibility of being served food containing an allergen without them triple checking that they’re doing everything right. Our bill totaled $160 for two people. The only reason we went here was for the abundance of gluten free menu items advertised, which they clearly cannot truly provide. You would think they could afford to have a separate fryer to actually accommodate the allergies that are LABELED MENU ITEMS LISTED AS GF. I hope someone within management/ownership realizes the detrimental effect that this caused and will make changes to the way they prepare/serve food. I have been to restaurants with no gluten free options that were able to accommodate us no problems and no worries after the fact. Don’t waste your time or money.

The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, my brisket sammy and tater tots were cold. The gluten free bread here is not that good- it’s dry. The candied pork belly wedge and the hotbox mac and cheese were both very good. The restaurant was really cold, and the music is super loud. While the food was decent, all the other factors make it a 3 star.

Kristina Williams

So things to note about this place is that if you are Celiac and cross contamination is an issue the actually options for your are much lower than what is labeled Gluten Free. I will say that was pretty disappointing. I’m new to this and was really excited thinking there were so many options only to find out most of them were technically not celiac safe. (Guess this is something I’ll be getting used to.) With that being said, still had a wonderful experience. Great drinks, the staff is top tier and the server was super clear and helpful explaining what was actually safe for celiac. What we did get was delightful. Absolutely worth going to just make sure you clarify with your server on what will have cross contamination and what won’t even though it’s labeled GF.

Ryan Martin

This place is great if you have a dairy allergy as most things are vegan by default. If you have a gluten allergy you have to be careful as they do not have have a dedicated gluten free fryer. The killer for me is that I have issues with gluten dairy and soy. They had very few dishes available that could accommodate my soy allergy. Caprese pizza with cashew ricotta. It was ok. I was devestated I couldn't have the chicken and waffles. Great cocktails.

Lo Wood

Great spot for happy hour! And lots of options too. If you’re gluten free - ask for their separate gluten free menu (love to see it!) We did the Sunday all day happy hour and were so excited to try a few new things. It’s still pricey but worth it ☺️

Carlos Hernandez

Had dinner here not too long ago & made sure that there were items on the menu that were gluten free as my girlfriend has Celiac Disease. When we were sat, my girlfriend asked what items are gluten free (to be 100% safe) and he said "just tell me what you want and I'll see." then she asked if he's our waiter or someone else and he said "we all help each other". Ok. Then the wine list arrives and my gf then had to ask the gal helping us with wine what is gluten friendly on the menu. She was SUPER helpful. Clearly the gal that helped my gf with wine confronted 'our waiter' because for the rest of the night, he was overcompensating and being awkwardly talkative. We just wanted our food at that point. Then on top of all of those awkward interactions with our waiter.... he charged us for an extra bottle of wine we didn't drink. I then had to flag down a member of the staff to initiate a return/bill again while our Uber was out front waiting for this. Spent $500 on dinner which was great BUT the experience with the waiter ruined it. Cherry Creek Grill is the better choice, their staff is ON POINT.

Juliet Lalouel

LOVE this place! Excellent food + service, friendly staff, and the owners are wonderful people. I love the atmosphere in this Avanti location, and I can't wait to go back for more. (Also this is a great place if you have a gluten allergy, and they have vegan/vegetarian options!)

Linda Hartlaub

Excellent gluten free menu and they provide gf chips! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you aren't a fan of pork green chili, substitute the tomatilla sauce on your burrito.

Angela L'Esperance

The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I went two days in a row because it was so good and celiac safe. Everything tasted fresh. Can’t beat fresh squeezed juices for cocktails. We need one in Minneapolis, MN.

Ed Skhisov

Lots of gluten free options. Tasty food.

Strat Parrott

They e changed the menu a bit but still lots of gluten free offerings. It’s sad they dropped the crispy rice and tuna from their GF offering.

Jessica Fields

What a fantastic (fintastic?!) spot. Service was splendid, thank you Manda and your trainee! The gluten free menu was plentiful and the food all came out with a little sign to ensure clarity. The quality of the food was superb! We sat on the patio and really enjoyed the experience!

Megan Dancer

This place is an anomaly. Amazing vibe, amazing food, great prices, and gluten free options. How there is only one of these is beyond me!

Rob Wilson

Let me share the good stuff first. The staff is very hard working. The hostess greeted us immediately and was friendly. The food looked good and tasted ok to great. There was a bathroom. We were excited to go bc the one in our area shut down. They have a nice drink selection. The non-alcoholic beverages were great. The service was strong. Now on to the story. We were told the wait would be 10-15 minutes, and we could wait at the bar or upstairs. We sat at the bar, but the overworked bar tender told us we could not for drinks as not everyone was 21. OK. Outside it is. After about 30-40 minute wait our table was ready. Why was there a wait? Well, the hostess was our server and the one cleaning the tables. They were understaffed. No worries, it happens. There was only one bartender, so drinks would be slow. The food would be a bit to get there, which makes sense given staffing. The food looked good. The meatball sub was bland and a little overcooked. Tots were mushy. Neither teenager liked their pizza. The gluten-free pizza looked good and tasted good. However, shortly after, 3 out of 4 were not feeling well. I am not sure if it was the pear cider or the GF pizza, but I had a bad reaction after it. This would be a gluten reaction that is painful and takes a long while to recover. This was around a 2 hour affair, not including wait time. One more thing, just like a lot of places, the prices are much much higher than before. But not abnormal for the area. I really hope the place turns around and everyone has a better food experience than us. I am sorry to leave a poor review. I normally do not leave reviews like this.

Lo Wood

Such a great spot! Delicious food and great vibes. The only reason for taking a star away is that there aren’t so many gluten free options for brunch but I got chilaquiles without the chorizo and it did not disappoint 🫶 Also wonderful mimosa kits ✨ I would definitely go back

Claire Hunter

Perfect experience. Sold out matinee NYE event and Rachel managed to make us feel like we were the only people there. We had our own area to eat, drink, and celebrate my birthday. It's usually tough planning a birthday party on a holiday but Rachel made it the best executed birthday! Food was on point. The gluten free buns with he chicken sandwiches and gf pizza with pepperoni and hot honey were amazing. Separate fryer fries and caprese salad. Drinks were perfect. Sound system was so great. Love that this Denver gem is still great after all these years!

Cheryl Olson

Great options for those with food allergy issues. I ate here on several occasions and the staff excellently made accommodations for my Celiac (gluten and dairy free) needs. 5280 has a dedicated gluten free fryer, which is a game changer for those with Celiac. The french fries are amazing here and I ordered them nearly every time I visited. I called my picky eater friend who was meeting me in Denver and told him I found a place for the both of us, which is difficult to do. I plan to eat at 5280 every time I find myself in Denver.

Lilly W

Love their gluten friendly pizza, super light and fluffy which is rare for gf. The Brooklyn bridge is my favorite. It’s my go to pizza place whenever I’m in town.

Austin Martin

The burgers where fire ate there 3 days in a row had a gluten-free burger and didn't get sick all 3 times! The bun kinda falls apart but really good anyway. Fries were okay. Super nice and friendly

Ann Kingston

Was v impressed by the gluten free option!

Sarah D

Sexy pizza is our go to spot! Their gluten free crust is incredible! And then ranch is so bomb! Maxwell helped us out and was so friendly and helpful!

katmndieux C

Great burger place with the best gluten free bun I've had

Alexis and Ky Thompson

The food was definitely below average quality for the cost and while they have a gluten free bun it is *dry*. I’d go somewhere else.

Lucy Hansen

Everything was amazing. Great for large group. They have several gluten free options.

Elijah Gay

Great gluten-free options! And don't miss the tater tots. My family goes here quite often.

Strat Parrott

Great gluten free pizza offering

Debbie Nelson

Always great food. And love that I can safely eat gluten free here. Server, Yazi, was great, attentive, timely.

Rob Web

we were looking for the best Thai food downtown and this place was it. the atmosphere is very open, with great decor and an open kitchen/bar in the center of the room. that being said, it wasn't loud and we were able to have a pleasant conversation seated by the wall. Our server was attentive to our dietary needs (gluten free) and preferences (ultra spicy). she made sure we would get food that we could eat and enjoy and even brought extra spice when requested. the food was tremendous, perfectly cooked noodles and balanced flavor.

Lana View

Great gluten free crust. Delicious salmon.

Alexandra Joseph

The gluten free crust is some of the best I've had anywhere (not just in Denver), you honestly cannot tell it's GF (it's not the thin cardboard stuff you get at some places). I will happily pay the extra $6 for that. The ingredients are also very fresh tasting. Highly recommend

Kymber Anderson

We had Maddox as our server last night! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us through the menu as my husband is celiac! The food was amazing and they had a huge selection of wine too. Definitely coming back for their happy hour!

Grace Butero

I had dinner here last week and I really struggle to eat out because of my celiac. Because of this I am typically really anxious when explaining my disorder to waiting staff. Chrissy was the one serving me, and she made the entire process so easy. She listened to all my concerns about food contamination, and informed me about the kitchen policies about food contamination. She was so knowledgable and kind throughout her service. She checked on us frequently to ensure we were okay and had everything we needed. The GF Sausage and Peppers was great, but Chrissy made the entire experience. I will be asking if she is working the next time I come in!

Kmary Otten

We ate at Park Burger last week, we went for a casual dinner night out after our daughter's volleyball game, last Wednesday night. The staff was very friendly, the food was divine! I had an ahi tuna burger on a gluten free bun. My husband loved his cob salad and chicken wings and our daughter enjoyed the kids burger alone with her milkshake. We ordered the delicious house potato chip with blue cheese, it was totally delicious. We had some zero alcohol drinks that were yummy❤️ We will definitely come back for more. Thank you for the wonderful food.

Candice Prendergast

Best empanadas ever. The fact that almost everything is gluten free makes this place just fantastic.

Kayla Ebner

Anderson /(en) was so helpful and kind! He was the manager when we ate on July 4th. Food was delicious. I have Celiac and the manager accommodated for me better than I could have expected! I made a custom rice bowl with gluten free soy sauce and it was yummy! I never got sick! My boyfriend left really liked his ramen too!

Dominick Smith

Pizza 3.14 is an absolute gem! As someone who eats gluten-free, I’m often disappointed by the options out there—but not here. Their gluten-free pizza is hands-down the best I’ve had—crispy, flavorful, and made with care. Beyond the amazing food, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. Whether you’re there for a quick bite or a night out, the vibe is always upbeat. And the staff? They’re just awesome—friendly, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great pizza and an even better experience!

Clinton Mast

Dan Bell

Everything we ordered was good. Service was friendly but slow. There was a big rush just after we arrived that they were not prepared for. Otherwise this was a solid place. Outdoor seating, gluten free options.

Ryan Hartzfeld

Everything was very good, waiter was helpful in navigating the menu with gluten free and vegetarian options

Kay Frances

The seafood was excellent! The PEI mussels tasted super fresh. The alcohol-free wine was great too. We had a wonderful evening. Not bad for a gluten-free Italian meal! The staff are very accommodating and welcoming.

Jaxson Cortinas

Full Afterburner Calzones is one of Denver's hidden gems that deserves more credit than it probably gets. Amazing calzones, a really cool atmosphere, priced at an amazing price and not too far from other fun spots! Most of the staff is friendly and nice although sometimes I can't tell if my order annoyed them or their just having a rough day. It's a huge added bonus that they have gluten free dough as well as I am someone who has dietary restrictions. Overall a really nice low-key spot that has some of the best gluten-free calzones. 👌
