Pizza was very good, but just not 5-stars for me. The gluten free crust was surprisingly good, though. They messed up a topping, but quickly corrected it and gave us free breadsticks.
I came to this restaurant because I heard it would be accommodating to my allergies and restrictions. I have celiac disease and some allergies. I ordered gluten free mac and cheese. I double checked with the server to make sure it was safe for me to eat, I was told that it was. Fast forward three hour I am hunched over puking in the bathroom. Why offer something that isn’t what you say it is? To continue to put more customers in false hope just to gain an extra buck or two? I will admit the staff and the place itself was nice. The food did taste good, but it led me to an unfortunate night. Don’t go here if you have celiac disease.
This was one of my favorite places to go but they removed the gluten-free mac and cheese. I have a gluten allergy and looked forward to getting that every time. Unfortunately, I no longer feel safe eating here with my allergy because I witnessed noodles from the regular mac and cheese in the Brussel sprouts. I also adore the sweet potatoes but they have somehow been both burnt and still undercooked the last 2 times. I will miss this place because it really was a great place to eat.
I had to review. Please read. Went in to meet a friend and found out they had gluten free pies and cookies!! The ladies took their time to help me out and service me and were so sweet and understanding. Sadly, an older gentleman behind me and my friend couldn’t stand their kindness to me and yelled at them. They hadn’t taken more than 3 minutes working with me. It was extremely sad to see. Told them he was going to leave a horrible review so watch out for a male Karen posting about the line taking forever. They ended up giving me my tea and cookie for free because they felt bad. 1000/10 service and WILL be back. Old people just have no patience. You can stand a minute and wait. Anyway, thank you to the ladies who helped me out and excited to have pie again for the first time in years!!!
Erbelli's is a solid choice for good pizza. Bonus that you don't find elsewhere: they have tons of gluten free options (even the subs!). Probably some of the best gluten free bread I've had. When we visited, just to pick up we were eagerly greeted and offered Togo cups of soda for free while we waited. Great service top to bottom!
Love the Pad Thai with extra tofu and broccoli for a delicious FODMAP option. I do not know if sauce is completely gluten-free or FODMAP but everything else is okay. The tofu and egg absorb some of the sauce and has a great flavor.
We had Becca as our waitress tonight for dinner. She was very personable and gave us suggestions for meal choices as she listened to us talk about what we have had previously. She had a fantastic cadence of stopping by to check on us. We took food home for our children and was very understanding that one has celiac and needed to assure the choices were made accordingly. Fantastic experience!
Absolutely love this place. They offer gluten, corn and dairy free options. The food is delicious and authentic. The vegetarian grape leaves and chicken kabobs are my favorite. The staff and owners are really nice and welcoming. I will return over and over ❤️
Super delicious fajitas! I get them almost every time I come. Very good and gluten free with the corn tortillas! They have been spot on every time I have been here! Great food!
My sisters and I meet here about 3-4 times a year. The service is always good as well as the food. A nice variety of items to choose from and they offer some gluten free items also. In the summer, it's nice to enjoy the patio and view of the lake. The best thing I've eaten there is the whitefish - delicious.
Great small shop in our neighborhood! Awesome selection of teas, chocolates, and teaware. Great staff and place to catch up with friends! Wish their gluten free section was bigger, but it's definitely improving, many thanks!
We were first timers and the gal behind the counter was very sweet and patient with us. The soup options are insane! Not only do they have over 100 options (12 different ones are shared daily) but at least 50% of them were gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and dairy free. And to make the experience even better, they offer free samples of each! I enjoy vegan options overall. I tried the tomato and black bean chili. Hands down black bean chili takes the win! I also tried their broth bowl. The lemon roasted vegetable. This is THE BEST vegetable broth I’ve ever had. We bookmarked this amazing sip of heaven to our favorites. This is a must try for experience and quality.
I always have a great time coming here its a day of fun when my friends and I go for food and leave with more cause we wandered the store. Not only is the customer service excellent but the food is divine!! they have so many options for people who don't eat red meat or are vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. Their boba is delicious (I miss winter melon!!) and the best part is they have a monster size! The lady who runs the place is super nice and she makes these wonderful boa buns sometimes that i buy as many as possible because it's random when they will appear again. They have desserts that I love trying from their Tiramisu to their chiffon cake. Sushi is available everyday of course and they are constantly adding new things for their customers to try. My two new favorites are the duck ramen and the Korean corn dogs(the cheese Pull like OMFG), if anyone is looking for a new great place to try and new things to try come here and if you still have trouble ask someone everyone will offer you suggestions.
For people who need to be gluten free, Main Street has improved in this area. You'll need to communicate with your server about your needs, but they try to find some way to accommodate.
