This is our go to pizzeria when visiting the Cape! The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is always attentive and friendly. They have a nice selection of specialty pizzas. I have a gluten sensitivity so I ordered the Pistachio Pesto pizza on GF crust and it was wonderful! My husband ordered the forest mushroom and my daughter had a classic cheese pizza. You can't beat their weekday lunch special! A pizza, salad and beverage for $16! Such a steal for a place this good!
I recently visited Not Your Average Joe's and was pleased to find a variety of gluten-free options on the menu. The food was tasty, but unfortunately, the prices didn't quite match the quality and portion sizes. I felt it was a bit overpriced for what we received.
The service was just okay. Our server seemed friendly, but when we asked for soda refills, they never arrived. This was particularly surprising since we visited mid-afternoon and the restaurant wasn't busy.
Overall, I'd give Not Your Average Joe's 3.5 stars out of 5. While I appreciated the gluten-free options and enjoyed the food, the value and service didn't quite live up to my expectations. Perhaps with some adjustments, I'd consider returning and bumping up my rating.

If you’re in the area and looking for a causal place for some hearty food, stop in here. My rating is based on my expectations of a casual hangout establishment. And it met this expectation with no problems.
First, they have a big parking area with an equally large dining area. Then, our server Melissa was just great. Friendly, attentive, and helpful in terms of helping me navigate a gluten allergy. They even have a gluten free menu which is very convenient.
The food overall was good. Large portions and served piping hot which is what I like. We weren’t looking for anything gourmet but rather just a hearty meal after spending a while driving into the area. I had a fruit flavored skinny margarita which is hard to find.
The prices were in line with similar places.
The establishment is suitable for all ages, families, singles, couples and retirees. I imagine it’s LGBTQ friendly given that it’s in the Cape.
We liked it and we would return the next time we’re visiting.
I had a great gluten free experience! They washed the grill before making my delicious grilled cheese sandwich. I couldn’t believe that the toast was gluten free!! And the homemade tomato bisque soup was soooo good!
Delicious pizza, excellent service! Best gluten free pizza I’ve had state side! The gluten free crust was soft and bready. I called in my order and they reassured me they are careful about cross contamination and cross contact. My non GF family members raved about their pizza as well. A win for everyone!
We have driven by this place for years. We are not huge fast food people, but on this particular trip to the cape, we really needed something quick that is also gluten-free. The Knack delivered on both fronts! The burger and fries were fresh, perfectly seasoned,and not greasy! Bonus- the gluten-free bun didn't fall apart while eating the burger- iykyk 😉 we will definitely be back and next time it will be for the gluten-free lobster roll 🦞
I love this place, they have lots of gluten free options, there is something for everyone and the salads are the best around Hyannis. I love the summer menu and vibes are excellent.
Went here due to previous reviews and the number of available gluten free options. We were seated fairly promptly despite being a few minutes early for our reservation. Our server came over timely, answered some questions as we clarified gf options and then disappeared for a bit. We put our order in for 2 appetizers and 3 entrees. Well, 40 minutes later we still hadn't seen any food or the waitress ... We noticed the table that came in 15-20 minutes after us did get their food! Waitress finally came by and said the food should be right out, and 30 seconds later it was, but it wasn't ours! We reminded the waitress of our order and we still hadn't received appetizers! Finally, 5 minutes later the apps appeared, then a few minutes later the entrees. While the chicken in the Ani sauce was decent, the rice was off, tasting like it may have been reheated... The rice with the paella was much better, but the paella was just ok. We did inform our waitress of the issue and then we believe perhaps the manager came over? She apologized for everything and at the end end of the meal tried to give us a tiramusu, and while a nice gesture apparently it wasn't conveyed to her about the 2 in our party with a gluten allergy. The manager then brought over the bill and said she had comped one of the chicken dishes and the pisco sour. Again, a nice gesture, but too late. I cannot recommend this place... You are better off spending your money down the street at emBargo!
My family and I visit Embargo every so often, the food is always delicious and the atmosphere is always great. Tonight we had the pleasure of having Kyle as our server and service was impeccable. My 6 year old has celiac and Kyle was very accommodating, attentive and polite. Thanks Kyle!!!

We absolutely loved our food here. We ended up going twice during our stay in Hyannis. I am gluten free and was able to eat safely there. They did a nice job with ambience and the wait staff was friendly.
Honestly, it's my favorite place for dinner on the Cape! Seriously, fantastic Italian food with so many gluten-free options! My daughter and I eat here often and never get sick. Our faves include the gluten-free meatballs and gluten-free pasta with white clam sauce. Their drinks are always good, and the service is fabulous. 5 stars all around ✨️ my only hope is they decide to add gluten-free veal parm to the menu one day 😋
Kind of packed for 8pm on a Saturday post Labor Day. They were efficient. My burger needed to be returned because it was on a bun. Seeing I have an allergy to Gluten, they recooked my meal.
Sure, we had to wait a couple minutes after we sat ourselves…no sign to direct you. This was due to the Excellent customer service! Nicholas and Debbie took care of everything for us from food, drinks, making sure our 11-year-old nephew was occupied and happy, to make sure we weren't wasting money getting quarters out of the change machine. If you're looking for something family-friendly to do and are interested in, some nostalgic games please visit flashback in Cape Cod. The entrées were delicious. The drinks were flowing and good times were had by all. The pricing is just right. Nicholas also took his time with our order after I alerted him that I was gluten-free. He takes allergens very seriously.
This could be wicked time with your friends on a night out in Hyannis. Go.
