Listen, I don’t know what kind of wizardry is happening in the kitchen at Mission BBQ, but I’m convinced they have a direct line to BBQ heaven. The ribs? Absolute perfection. They fall off the bone like they’ve got better places to be, and honestly, so do I—because after eating here, I’m probably moving in. And let’s talk about the beans. I don’t know what they put in them (besides magic and possibly a little bit of American pride), but these things are so good they should be illegal. I would trade my entire fantasy football team for another bowl. Oh, and if you’re gluten-free? No problem! They’ve got a gluten-free menu, which means you can dive into BBQ bliss without worry. Because nothing should stand between you and glorious smoked meats. Long story short: Mission BBQ is the real deal. If you love America, BBQ, and feeling like you just got hugged by a plate of ribs, get yourself here immediately. 10/10, would eat myself into a brisket coma again.

Out of the Culver's u have been to, across the country, which not one was not good. This one is my favorite. They went out of their way to let me know the cheese sauce is not gluten-free. Good to know!!

A really nice experience, as long as you are ok with cooking your own food. Doesn't look like much from the outside but is really nicely done inside. Many gluten free options. Their gummy bear martini is a tasty cute drink.

I’ve eaten here a few times - pretty good mimosas and they do have some gluten free options. Unfortunately I was given the regular pancakes from the kitchen and thankfully my waitress noticed and immediately switched them out for me! Overall a nice breakfast spot, good coffee, comfy ambiance.

An unforgettable lunch - exceptional service and a truly special touch! To the management and staff of The Foxtail, A sincere expression of gratitude is written to convey the incredible 1st time experience at F.T. on June 7th a Saturday. Everything about the visit was exceptional, from the delicious food to the personalized service. The server made the day special. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and they were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations. The thoughtful and personalized attention given to our table made everyone feel like VIPs. They even coordinated a custom Father's Day gift, a heartwarming and unexpected gesture that made the occasion memorable. The food was outstanding. Specific dishes, such as the perfectly cooked steak and shrimp poke bowl (made custom gluten-free), An octopus appetizer was prepared with expertise and was an absolute delight for the palette. The presentation of the oysters on the halfshell was accompanied by all the appropriate utensils and fixings, served on a mountain of crushed ice. For cocktails, I personally enjoyed the "smoke on the water" and "jetplane." Dining at Foxtail has always been a pleasure for the group that introduced me to the venue, and this visit was particularly noteworthy due to the custom Father's Day gift option. Thanks to Nate Cooper and the staff for making the Father's Day lunch wonderful. The dedication to excellent service and the ability to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere is appreciated. We will definitely be returning to The Foxtail and recommending it to others. Sincerely, Bob Tutsock

Went here because I heard they have a good gluten free menu. The GF buffalo chicken sandwich was awesome! My waitress, a short brunette girl, was attentive and friendly. I appreciate that my drink was never left empty. Will definitely go there again.

Only been here once so far but had great service and food. Atmosphere is very chill as well. They were very accommodating with gluten free crust and vegan cheese (very hard to find pizza places that will do both). Would love to come back.

Came in with hubby as we were referred by a friend for dinner and the hospitality was amazing, food was great and the restaurant was very elegant considering its a strip mall location. Beautiful , clean , and amazing fresh homemade dishes . The owner/chef greeted its customers like family . Had the scallops, lobster bisque, gluten free bread/ pesto, garlic fresh herbs and keylime pie . Everything was delicious and beyond to happy with the service attention. Definitely would recommend this place to try out !! 5 stars here! Will be back …

We have done takeout multiple times at Pierce Taven and the food is always amazing! It transports quite well and stays fresh. But besides that, they have lots of options, especially for my gluten free husband. The only downside is this place is SO popular it is always packed and sometimes it’s a bit of a longer line.

I love this place for BBQ, and they are always nice. They have great sides, and so many of them are gluten-free. I've never had dry meat. The burnt ends are delicious and not dry. Pulled pork was great. I love their turkey, too. You get a great deal for the money. Everyone was pleased with what I picked and loved the taste. They enjoyed the variety of sauces.

Great customer service and great food. Staff is very friendly and accommodating for dietary restrictions (in this case gluten free). I'd have tipped even more if I saw the option on the checkout screen. For GF customers: They have GF dressings for salad, GF granola, and GF bagels that can be toasted in the oven (instead of the shared toaster), and GF oat milk. The only thing I wish they carried was heavy cream.

First time at the Brick House Tavern. We were seated in these comfy couches near the fireplace and greeted immediately by our server Colin. He was friendly, helpful with gluten free options, and made us feel right at home. Atmosphere was relaxed, food terrific, and we will definitely be back. Thanks, Colin. Made us feel like family!!!

Terrific waffles - the best ever! They are freshly made, served warm and slightly crispy along the edges. The ice cream is the best - creamy and delicious! The shop offers great, unique flavors, and also the standards. For those who need gluten-free ice cream, there are many choices. Great staff - friendly, helpful service!
