Shrimp tacos are so good

Hanna Hondzo

My favorite place for safe gf ice cream! I always get their gf v cone too. Their cookies are also amazing, they do have dairy in them though.

Marci Anderson

Swingers in Hollywood isn’t just a diner—it’s a slice of LA history with a side of sass and really good fries. This place has been serving up late-night eats and early-morning recoveries since the days when indie bands and studio execs shared booths. It’s got that lived-in cool without ever trying too hard: checkerboard floors, jukebox charm, and the low hum of a city that never quite sleeps. The food? Way above the curve for diner fare. Think golden pancakes with just the right chew, fresh arugula tucked into a breakfast burrito, wild-caught tuna melts that taste like someone in the kitchen actually cares. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just hungover and looking for comfort, they’ve got something legit—and made with better ingredients than you’d expect at 2am on Sunset. What really pulls it all together is the staff. Engaged, sharp, always game for a little banter if you are, or just genuinely attentive if you’re flying solo. They know their regulars, but they’re just as warm to first-timers. Swingers is the kind of place that keeps its edge without losing its heart. A diner that feels like home—if your home had really good huevos rancheros and cooler people hanging around.

The gluten free pizza dough was insanely good. A must try for pizza night!

Natalie Hampton

Labeled menu, knowledgeable staff, really yummy food!

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Charlotte Thompson

Gluten free waffles aren’t coeliac safe, not cooked on a separate fryer

Ana Carla

The food is delicious, and place itself is awesome, they have board games that we can play while waiting for the food, and they also have gluten free food.

Gemma Rose Brandt

Amazing gluten free options, especially for those with a sweet tooth. Best GF doughnut I've ever eaten. Great spot for something to eat and drink after a hike.

Cheryl Lindsey

We were very happy with the food, service and welcoming atmosphere. Our server Chahat was accommodating, flexible, kind and quick! Their prices are very reasonable and there are plenty of vegan and gluten free options. We were there for a birthday party and everyone had a great time. Thank you Electric Karma - we'll be back.

Natalie Hampton

Great gluten free options, knowledgeable staff, and even a selection of gluten free baked goods! The mochi cookies are AMAZING!

Shuccle

Exceptional gluten free celiac safe pizza, in LA !!! I have celiac disease, so finding safe joints to enjoy a warm pie is always tough. I called here ahead of time to ask if they can cater to someone with celiac, and the manager who picked up the phone (his name is Fred) was so nice! Absolutely outstanding customer service. I felt right at home. I'll be completely honest though, as good as the pizza was, I've had tastier GF pizza in LA. However, I'll be darned to ever find customer service as amazing as I did tonight, so I'm not even complaining. 5-stars all-around!

Leany Le Feu

A delightful LA local spot. Perfect for brunch with friends or an afternoon date. They serve alcohol here and have dairy free/ gluten free options.

Sarah Veggie

Was visiting from out of state and had this door dashed all 4 days I was there! So good! I have celiac and a wheat allergy. They have a clean kitchen and are allergy friendly. The gluten free bun option makes the iconic and big zac burgers a great gf option. The iconic fries are a favorite as well

Jake Z. Chang

We recently dined at this restaurant and were thoroughly impressed with the attentive service, especially regarding my daughter's gluten allergy. The staff took extra care to ensure her dietary needs were met. Additionally, I had forgotten to request no cheese in my tacos, but despite the food already being prepared, the restaurant graciously remade my order at no extra cost. The food was excellent, and the ambiance of the restaurant was both pleasant and lively. Highly recommend for both their outstanding service and delightful dining experience!

Brittany

The food is so good and they can accommodate gluten free diets.

Charlie Ratcliffe

Delicious. Gluten free bun a huge win too.

Iman Jebara

Three words: GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES!!!!!!!!!

Kristen Leigh

It’s never a bad time at the Cat And Fiddle! Absolutely wonderful service from everyone, there’s literally nothing on the menu that I don’t like! Solid Scotch Egg, Shepard’s Pie, and Hands-down, the BEST fish & chips in the city… even better they’re gluten-free! For a very fun treat-yo-self, they have a Saturday and Sunday brunch where you can pre-order an afternoon ☕️, which is just the cutest most British thing ever. 🇬🇧 🤩

Jessica Knowlden

Obsessed with this spot. The energy and atmosphere are super cool, a hidden gem for sure. Staff was incredibly kind and our server was the best, knowledgeable about all the items on the menu, and also helped with gluten free dishes. We tried the red salsa, yellowtail ceviche, scallop dish, Quesadillas and flautas which were all delicious. Drinks were also really tasty. Would love to come back soon! Thank you 😊

Kelsey Hays

Food was delicious, gluten free bun was great!

Carol Rose

Beautiful outdoor area. Gluten free options as well. Tasty drink. Anthony was our server and he actually made us feel… at Home!

Cheyenne Padgett

I walked from his coffee and donut shop to his taco cantina after noticing the coffee spot on my way to an interview and had to u-turn following it to actually visit. Both locations were great. The server was very friendly and helped me situate myself somewhere else when I needed to charge my phone. They have gluten-free and dairy-free options in one, I got the pork tacos. I’m usually not a big fan of pork, probably should have went with chicken. However, the hot sauce was amazing. I bought a bottle. I wish I could afford to eat like that all the time.

Eva Komarkova

I didn't know that I have such a good restaurant right behind the corner! It's great because you can come here as vegan or non vegan together and both have great meal. The vegan menu is so good, so you can eat regular diet and order it without disappointment! My not vegan husband loved the vegan Korean chicken taco. I loved the vegan Baja fish taco so much. The cauliflower taco was also surprisingly full of flavor, I loved the cabbage and tahini dressing. The side of refried beans was fresh and delicious. My husband loved his mole enchilada, and we both loved the vegan Caesar salad. In the end we got also a yummy vegan dessert, which was gluten-free bread pudding with coffee ice cream! It was all so good! We are coming back! The staff is extraordinary nice and attentive. To everyone who is reading these reviews about high prices, I am adding a picture of our receipt...

Amy Jewell

Our group of 7 stopped in here after a grueling day at Universal. The wait for a table took a long time, but we were patient and boy was it worth it! 3 hungry kids and 4 exhausted adults were all pleased as punch with our meals. My husband and I are gluten intolerant and the server was very confident in knowing what would work to be GF. The roasted balsamic Brussels sprouts were delicious! They have GF penne pasta as a substitute for most of their dishes and the chicken picatta I had was flavorful and plentiful!! Everyone cleared their plates and were more than happy. Shout out to our hard working server - a Monday crew during a holiday rush time caused delays but he was attentive despite serving 4 big groups.

Natalie Hampton

Tons of gluten free options (almost the entire menu), very knowledgeable staff, and really yummy food!

Benjamin Pedersen

Fantastisk hyggeligt sted! Maden er vegansk og de kan tage hensyn til gluten allergi. Maden var frisk og lækker.

Daniel Ayd

Cute and vintage on the inside, too nice though to not sit on the sidewalk patio. Prices are steeper than indicated--$$-$$$. So much gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan selection though, and safely labeled. As in they seem to really understand cross contamination and not joist call something GF even though it then goes in the frier. Anyway, all day breakfast with both the enchiladas and juevos rancheros we're truly out of this world. The sauces, the fresh guac, cilantro, came out hot and so visually appealing I didn't stop to take a photo. Shakes were unbelievably creamy. Kids had what looked like the best burgers of their lives on fresh toasted rolls, thick melty cheese, and lacy crisp edges on the beef. The onion rings looked, sounded, and smelled amazing but I didn't eat one... gluten. Would absolutely come back, highly recommended!

P. INTUITIVE

Always love this Place... i just dont like the Limited Choices for Vegans, and Pescatarian folks like Me... Also those with Celiac and Dairy intolerance; like Me. Can you Bring Plant based Meats and Cheeses; WITHOUT SOY... Please and Thanks!

Candy Whitney

Nicola White

Good gluten free options you can get pancakes or sub for gluten free toast. We had the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious!

Tricia Pain

This Veggie Grill location is absolutely gorgeous inside and out! The staff is so friendly and helpful and the seating layout is so cute!The outdoor patio area is a perfect way to enjoy the city and the beautiful LA weather. I absolutely love Veggie Grills Menu…It’s ALL vegan with SO many options to fit everyone’s tastebuds! I also eat gluten free and Veggie Grill has many options and is so nice about accommodating! You’ll definitely be seeing me at this location often!!💚💖

cam gilmer

Ordered 8 piece grilled nuggets and they gave me 5 piece breaded nuggets. Can’t even eat them cause I’m gluten free.

Jenny Chuang

My friend can't eat gluten because of her celiac disease, which makes it a bit hard to find a place that have alterative. This place that I found by surprised actually have gluten free tator tots, bread, and many dishes can be altered without taking out a major component, which is amazing! Also to find options that are vegetarian and vegan-friendly is nice. I love the option of indoor and outdoor seating! Not to mention, the bathroom - is beautiful! There are a lot of options on the menu and the food is pretty good, even the ones with alternative ingredients tasted delicious! The only issues is trying to find parking, however there is a paid lot next to the restaurant that cost about 0.75 cent every 30 minutes. Parking seems strict as there is a parking meter guy standing by the meters and getting ready to write tickets. Would come back again! Waitresses and waiters are super nice and friendly!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding a recent order I placed for delivery from your restaurant. I have celiac disease and specifically marked all my food items as gluten-free when ordering. Unfortunately, I was gluttened by the sauce accompanying the spring rolls, and I am now concerned about the pho as well. Although I didn’t consume all of it, I discarded the rest of my meal, fearing that it would make me ill. I want to emphasize how important it is for your staff to be fully educated on handling gluten-free orders, as this is a significant health risk for individuals with celiac disease. The woman I spoke with on the phone was kind, empathetic, and reassured me that she would confirm the details, but this situation should not have occurred. While I understand that mistakes can happen, this incident is a matter of negligence, and your restaurant could be liable if others are affected in the same way. I appreciate that DoorDash refunded me for the meal, but should I require medical treatment, I will need to send you the bill. I urge you to take this matter seriously and ensure that all your cooks and servers are properly educated on food allergies and autoimmune conditions. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I hope this can be addressed so it doesn’t happen again in the future. Sincerely, Lauren B.

Jessica Hegarty

The best gluten free pizza I have ever had. The bartender was very knowledgeable and took my gluten allergy seriously which was a reassuring experience.

A Devkota

Oh Oste, what can I say? Best Italian in LA? YES definitely, but who’s going to believe me considering all I seem to review are Thai restaurants? The staff is warm and attentive, the food is fabulous (fyi all their world-class pizzas just happen to be nearly gluten-free) and the whole space glows like a big bronze lantern. Come and see for yourself. Really picks up after 7pm— Xx

Alexandra Levine

Really nice place with a cute outdoor garden. Unfortunately I came here while it was raining in LA (what are the chances of that, right?!) Regardless I had a great time and really enjoyed their coffee. They do have wifi and a nice atmosphere. I had a breakfast burrito that had plant based sausage and I was pretty pleasantly surprised by that. They also had fresh pastries and some gluten free options. Overall definitely will come here again and it has a good vibe.

Lemon Grove showcases Chef Vigneron’s. We had a great evening under the beautiful starts of Hollywood. This rooftop restaurant boasts vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. There is a live DJ playing lively music. There are three sections to this restaurant which sits rooftop of the Aster hotel. There is the dining section and a private area for large groups. The Bar area and lounge area. There are great views throughout the restaurant of the Hollywood sign, Hollywood hills, and Capitol tower records. This is a relaxing, trendy restaurant. Our food came hot and fast! Super tasty! Our server was really awesome (sorry I forgot her name). She checked on our table often to ensure we had what we needed. After dinner we moved over to the lounge area and enjoyed the lounge area with fireplace and a beautiful sunset view. The cocktails are delicious and not watered down.

Jenni Stein

My coworker and I loved the brunch experience here! I was pleasantly surprised by their gluten free bread, it was delicious, as was the omelet

Mariel Beausejour

Delicious!!! The gluten free chicken bowl was so good and did not gluten bomb us! Celiac safe!

Cindy Cupp

Dallas Cheatham

Awesome staff, good food, and good Gluten free options. Super reasonable prices too. We loved our time at Palermo’s and will be back ASAP!

Miso Beno

I had a little spare time on a work trip and popped into Atrium on the recommendation of a friend. I found the atmosphere delightful, the team was able to accommodate my dietary restrictions (gluten allergy and temporarily vegetarian) without hesitation, and my cocktails just about knocked my socks off. The staff was was friendly, and made sure I was taken care of, the food was tasty, and I found the appearance of the joint to be quite the delight. Given the hopping neighborhood, I would absolutely recommend this as as a stop on a date night, but it’s also worth the trip on its own. Next time I can’t wait to try a few more cocktails next time I’m in town. Update: I snuck over again for a meat based dish now they my meat restrictions have lifted and the staff absolutely accommodated my needs. Big thanks to the manager for working with the kitchen team to ensure my half chicken was prepared safely, the kitchen team for going out of their way to accommodate me, and bar team for making some tasty mocktails. Exactly what I needed after a weekend of wedding revelry.

Myn Black

Bro this place is a sin in all the best ways! They have gluten free and dairy free options that don’t make you feel like you’re missing out on great treats! This is probably the best tasting I’ve cream I’ve ever had, not even exaggerating. I’m addicted to Jeni’s… it’s becoming a problem

Monica Bacca

Absolutely delicious food for the gluten sensitive. No reactions were had!

Billy Vaughn

Eva Eden

Such a quaint little place! The food is amazing and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the Ox Tail Risotto (it's even Gluten Free)!
