I just discovered this gem and they offer delicious and healthy gluten free options! I have celiac disease so it is so nice to get something to go when I do not want to cook, as there are not many places that offer this. I highly recommend The Rachel sandwich and the Carmelita dessert if you are gluten free.
Hole-in-the-wall burger place in Northside doesn't quite live up to the gem in its hidden gem status.
Ordered the "Hammstein", "Buns n Rose's black bean", and vegan "James Brownie" milkshakes.
Pros:
Large variety of eclectic burgers, including a couple vegan options, all with fun, quirky names. They also offer gluten free & pretzel buns.
Though it fell apart easily, I appreciated that the bean burger seemed fresh and handmade - could see the beans.
Milkshakes can be made with vegan ice cream (coconut ice cream & almond milk).
Fries were great, and burgers tasted decent.
Cons:
Limited seating in a tight space.
Atmosphere is a little grungy, and staff seemed stressed and rushed despite there not being many people.
Vegan milkshake was like syrup - not good.
Biggest issue: Staff were NOT knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. I asked if the milkshakes were entirely vegan or if it was just an ice cream swap > was told it was totally vegan > turns out the mix-ins are not necessary vegan (the brownie had egg and I had to ask 4 times before I got that answer.)
Sadly, can't say I'll be back.
The Kitchen Factory is a lifeline for people who are dairy and gluten free. I haven't tried anything that hasn't tasted great and you could never tell anything has even been substituted. Thank you Reese and Dillon for allowing us to have pizza and mac n' cheese again! Looking forward to enjoying a meal in the newly remodeled dining room soon.
We love this spot in town and the people who work there are always so kind and welcoming! Great atmosphere and a wonderful spot for vegan/ gluten free food.
