Food is extremely healthy though what you see online is not necessarily what is available in person. At the time we went, there was supposedly something going on with the oven to where staff was having to cook one gluten-free pita at a time and the waitress compared the experience of waiting for our orders to waiting for water to boil.
The ingredients for extremely fresh, for sure. Most of the meals, savory. But it was very expensive.
My husband ordered his buffalo burger on the rare side (it needs to be undercooked not to overdry) and it came out medium well, very dry and with some grizzle in it, to boot. The waitress apologized and immediately offered to get a new one made. She said the burger would be compted but then clarified that the new burger would be comped (you were seriously going to charge for getting the order right?).
Overall, decent healthy food but very expensive.
If you have to order gluten free, I wouldn’t recommend this pizza. Overpriced at $30.00 for a small gluten free pizza with two toppings. Crust was so soggy, loaded with sauce and clumped on cheese. Was not appetizing. Overall not great experience, long wait only to be told half my order could not be filled then left with a pizza I ended up just tossing. Just warning those with gluten sensitivity, there are better options at other restaurants.
Seems like the Flying Star has been around for 40 years now...and ABQ staple! Great deserts and a fun place to hang out. Love their breakfasts. It's not their hay day anymore, but still solid. Good gluten free options.
I really enjoy there pizza, love that I can pick and choose what I like on it. I get the gluten free and I like that it’s not hard as a cracker, it was soft. My husband gets the regular bread and really enjoys their pizza. Clean tidy place, great employees.
Justice the bartender was very friendly and attentive. My drinks came out yummy. The appetizers were out fast and hot. I love that there is a gluten free option for the pizza. Our food came out hot and correct. I will definitely be back.
Tons of options for everyone! You can find dairy free, gluten free, vegan options. There are about 10-15 different food options of all types of cuisine. My favorite is the Meso Grill and Kulantro
It's a great place to hang out, and it used to be one of my favorite places to grab coffee and a treat. I don't mind paying a little more because things cost more. But the quality has really dropped.
But there's always french fries or the other pastry options. I hope they continue to create gluten-free options!

The gluten free pancakes are delicious!. They messed up our order and it was delayed by 30 min.. A little misplacing of our order. But I would come back! The place was clean and we beat the Sunday brunch rush! Great place!
Staff is always super friendly. The food is always super great and for 2 years I've been living gluten-free and they honestly have the best gluten-free pizza in town!
It is with great sadness that I rate flying star only 3 stars. several years ago, restaurant had two or three wonderful options for those of us who cannot eat wheat. (Gluten-free pastries) Since then, they have discontinued one and then the other and then another of their gluten-free products, moved them around, switch them out, and now seem to have only one... which is the gluten-free very berry scone. Somehow, in the process have also made the scone almost inedible (!?!) It used to be a little crumbly, a little dry, but basically very tasty and a good substitute for someone who cannot no longer enjoy the finer things in life that containing the wheat grain. But they've changed the recipe or the cooking method or something. (My suspicion is they've cut back butter (again) and perhaps changed some other ingredients?) but the scone is pretty much almost inedible now - unless I take it home, moisten it up with some mist from my kitchen sprayer, and heat it very gently in the microwave. Which totally misses the point of going to the café in the afternoon for a coffee and pastry.
Coffee and pastries used to be one of the greatest joys in my life. Now that my intestines tell me I cannot eat wheat. I relied on some of the wonderful inventions that Flying Star used to have (such as the morning glory muffin. Which was moist and sweet and tasty. And now... gone.) Each time they make a change they seem to cut out one of the things that brings me in... and pretty soon there will be nothing left.
Very creative food and cocktail menus. Food was beautiful in presentation and delicious. For those avoiding gluten, nearly everything on the menu was GF.
They have some gluten-free food options available, just ask. I was there to meet two friends from out of town and they raved about the fish and chips but I was not able to indulge due to my celiac. We arrived around 4 pm and it wasn't too crowded but the place was packed when we left. Overall, it was enjoyable for everyone in my group.
Very helpful staff to explain what food is gluten free. Great descriptions of everything is prepared. Gluten free menu. Gluten free bread, but it cannot be grilled or toasted due to cross contamination. Fries are also cross contaminated. Cheese burger on gluten free bread with a salad is safe and I had this without problems.
The online menu serves no justice compared to going in and catching the vibe. I wanted to order 3 different meals 😩 I don't know how I missed the mac n cheese grilled cheese sandwich but, that's what I ordered thankful that the employee sold me by simply giving me my choices. When I come back to visit this is for sure on my must-eat list. They have gluten-free opinions which works out as well for those who have celiac. Yes. I was very big backed eating this 😆 🤣
What a bummer. Messed my wife’s gluten free order up, the online system wouldn’t let us order to save 10% and they wouldn’t honor it in the store (I mean $5 is $5 especially when you’re spending 50$ for one large & one medium pizza right?
Even after they made us wait for the rest of our food to get cold since they messed the order up (not us since we were forced to order over the phone and I specified gluten free with allergy)
Overall I love this pizza but the gal on shift was less than helpful.
The mushroom burger vegetarian gluten free bun was really tasty, it’s hard to find a good one so I was very happy with that. My garden salad was really good too. The regular burger was juicy and tasty. The French fries were horrible, very greasy not cooked enough.
We have been bothered by a beggar while we were eating inside the restaurant. The manager should do his job and don’t let that happen. The waiter could be more helpful he didn’t even come to ask how things were and we felt that we were bothering him when we entered the restaurant. We didn’t feel welcomed and they were in hurry to get our orders even if the place was empty at this time.
A lot of effort to do to make this restaurant a very good one.
I love Flying Star, the coffee is great and the pastries are delicious! Lots of great options - salads, sandwiches, and bowls! Gluten free and vegan options as well!
Honestly one of the best places to get pizza or cheesy bread (which honestly best cheesy bread I’ve had in a lonnggg time).
I wish other restaurants had employees that were so good at their jobs. They are always so nice and they nail the orders on the head every time. The lady with glasses that works the take out area needs a special shout-out for being so awesome and just thank y’all for really giving such good customer service in a world where it is harder to find.
Also, best Gluten free pizza in ABQ
We have eaten there a couple of times and they are consistently good. I have a gluten allergy, which they accommodated excellently. All the food was well prepared amd the service was exceptional.
So good we visited two times during our 5 day stay in Santa Fe! Fun atmosphere during dinnertime! Excellent food and great gluten free items on the menu.
We as a family eat here almost weekly. My 2 year old son was diagnosed with celiac and being gluten free is hard enough let alone with a 2 year old. Their cauliflower crust is amazing for him. And we always have leftovers for him for lunch the next day!!!!
We ordered meat lovers, build your own, and gluten free pizzas. The flavors were present and accounted for in every ingredient! Even the crust had been seasoned.
The owner was friendly and the staff was helpful. We will be back soon. Thanks, Lorenzo!
I really love this place, especially because their gluten-free subs work with my dietary restrictions and still taste great. Just a heads-up, the bread is better untoasted and you might want to add extra meat since it's pretty thick. The wings get high praise from others, the table games are fun and well cared for, and the service is super helpful plus, the game shop has a solid selection at fair prices.
So happy to discover this excellent pizza restaurant! Delicious food, wonderful staff (who are also great singers, by the way). And the owner welcomed us and showed us a fun game (among a huge selection of board games) to play. A pleasant concept, board games and great food. It’ll be a regular treat for us! Vegan and gluten free along with vegetarian and meat options!
**Gluten Free pasta available**
We had a great experience for our first time trying M'tucci's. Iggy was our waitress and I wanted to specifically call out Iggy for being awesome and attentive! I mentioned that I eat gluten free and Iggy made sure at every chance to help and let me know what dishes were (or were not) gluten free.
The food was delicious and the portion sizes were on point too. The pork Bolognese was SO.DANG.GOOD! My husband got a pizza that he said was great. The house white was the perfect compliment to my meal. And it isn't on any of the menus (that we could find) but they do have beer as well.
Thanks again to Iggy for your attentiveness and making it clear you remembered my dietary restriction throughout our meal, and the rest of the staff who were all very friendly & helpful.
We love Jinja Bistro and make a point to go there every time we visit family in Santa Fe. Service is wonderful and the food is spot on. They have many choices for gluten free and dairy free diets. We love the Lettuce wraps, Shaking beef and Pad Thai. Much appreciated!
Great selection of gluten free dining options with a separate gluten free menu as well as vegan and vegetarian. I had the pear salad and nachos. All gluten free and tasted great.
Outdoor patio available, smallish indoor dining as well as bar seating. Great NM beers and ciders available on tap as well as a variety of cocktails and mocktails. Cauliflower pizza crust is available for those of us who are gluten free, and some of the other menu items are GF, too. The server was very friendly. I had the Sandia Lemon Mango Cider and my husband had the La Cumbre Malpois Stout, both on tap. We were both happy with our choices. He ordered the Bulgogi Beef with Fries and Cheese and really enjoyed it. I couldn't eat very much due to an upcoming procedure but I did have a little and it was very good. We will back sometime when I can try some of the many tasty-looking options on the menu!
Stopped for my husband to have a beer. I ended up having a vodka soda, they carry only local spirits. Ended up having the Parmesan truffle fries, very yummy. Service was excellent!! They have Gluten friendly options.
Good service. The young man was honest about what was available for those of us with food allergies. In accordance with my dietary needs I was able to order a gluten free pizza with an olive oil base. It was delicious. The gf crust was very good too. Would recommend it. Since I’m not celiac I didn’t ask if they have a dedicated work space or oven.
The line was insanely long, but it only took around 5 minutes to get through it due to the attentive and friendly staff.
For those with celiac disease, they were a breath of fresh air in this town! Through each step of the ordering process they took care to ensure that my food was safe. I'm happy to report that I had my meal sans issues and I didn't get sick
I will return here whenever in Farmington.
Thank you to the beautiful young lady who made our gf pizzas! They were delicious and I did not get sick. I have celiac and it is so hard finding food that is safe to eat. Most people don’t really understand the struggle. This young lady made me feel so good about eating here. Thank you! thank you! thank you!! May you and the store be blessed with abundance!
Got sick from the “gluten free” pizza, I paid over $20 for while dining there. Looked exactly like my friend’s regular pizza. Brought it back and asked if it was GF, staff said “yes.” Explained that it got me sick. & they didn’t try to fix it so I spent over $20 to get sick and for my friend to have my left overs.
Went for Dinner on a Saturday night. There was a line almost out the door but service moved quickly. The space is warm, eclectic, and exciting. I love the options for Gluten Free Pizza. Although it's a pretty basic crust the wood fire oven created a great pie. High quality ingredients and fun topping selections. We tried the Jardin and seasonal Elote. 9.5/10 on the pizzas.
A limited but curated beer/wine/cider list was sufficient. Service was attentive and excited despite the large volume of customers. We sat on the patio with our dog and enjoyed the fountain ambience. The only disappointment was they were closed on Sunday when we wanted to come back for breakfast!
This is an absolute diamond in the rough. Great options for gluten free crust!! The owner is so sweet and gave me a free gf French onion soup. They also have gf brownies and are very knowledgeable!!!
The staff was very friendly and explained that the food was all gluten free except for the wraps. We ended up with a potato base rather than fry base because they ran out. The smaller of the two portions is enough to feed two people. The food was really good. I would go there again.
We had 3 different items on this being my first trip to Ruby Tuesday. First there was the unremarkable salad bar. Not much to talk about there.
Second we ordered some of the BBQ chicken nachos sans BBQ sauce. While the chips were crispy the cheese sauce has a strange flavor. Maybe like a smoke flavor? They were ok but not the best.
Third I ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with onion rings. I had never had such a sandwich in my life. It was an open faced style of sandwich on a roll with cheese melted on the top. It was as greasy as the onion rings.
Although the service was good, the food wasn’t very. Mustard should be in a container & not handed out in packages with a sit down meal. The drinks kept coming and we didn’t need to ask which was good.
If you’re a gluten free vegetarian then I hope your pockets are a bit fatter because they’re going to charge you more for a burger. $2 extra for a gluten-free bun (with 45 more calories) & $3 extra for an Awesome patty. That sucks. Good thing I like meat & gluten.
So all in all the food wasn’t that good and left me with an upset stomach. I won’t be coming back.
O’Niell’s is one of my favorite spots in Albuquerque! Their burgers are outstanding and they offer a gluten free bun as well. Every dish I’ve tried here has been phenomenal and the service is always friendly. The patio is spacious and dog friendly. I love this place!
