Today was my first time eating at Urban Plates and it certainly won’t be my last! I ordered the chili glazed grilled tofu with a side of roasted brussels sprouts and sesame broccolini - all of these items were 10/10! Very tasty a good healthy meal! As a vegan, I appreciate the many options that cater to different preferences and allergies. There were many options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free diets with everything marked on the menu which is always a plus! Also, a special shout out to Fatima who was very helpful and gave me excellent customer service. Thank you Urban Plates!

I came here for the gluten free options (NCGS) I had the "Best Quesonario W/O crispy onion strings", W/ gluten free bun. It was great. One of the best GF buns I have had. The fries are good. Made fresh I think. They had too much salt, but I assume that was an end of day thing. The water from the machine was good The bathroom was clean We went at a non busy time. I imagine if this place was busy seating could be difficult to find.

Customer service is amazing. They go above and beyond. They are knowledgeable on celiac disease and care for customers.

Nikki Lee

It is so amazing to hqve a grass fed , gluten free bread, that fries rice oil. I haven't eaten junk food for years due to UC condition so it is great to have a little option for people like me. Great burgers , onion rings, and just over all very helpful to make it your way as best they can. Please keep making it healthy.

They are the worst customer service and knowledge bout gluten free allergies and definitely have No business getting advertise as such. I called and once I arrived I asked again. I ordered and paid and then she told me she was out of gluten free buns so I am getting toast gluten free burger ITS DISGISTING. Not what I asked for, I DO NOT WANT FING TOAST FOR A BURGER. I could have gotten somewhere else. I’m traveling and Not alone. I truly hate this people. LIARS. SO GROSS!! I was asked how my food was and I told this lady gross and unsatisfactory She acted like I didn’t say ANYTHING so I repeated to her and again just ignored. DO NOT ASK HOW MY FOOD WAS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE CUSTOMER S ANSWER. 🤮

We dine here all of the time, the food is delicious and our celiac family is always safe! Giovanni is amazing who helps us every time!

J C

Definitely worth it. Haven't been in years and was glad to see they've finally added some gluten free options

Katherine Trivanovich

The service was great and the food was delicious! I online ordered their five cheese & tomato pizza with a gluten free crust. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy by making my pizza on a separate tin & changing their gloves. I have Celiac so I need to be careful with shared cooking surfaces & I fully trusted this location to honor that. I was able to make the pizza last a few days because there were 6 slices. I really enjoyed it!

Sean Moraffah

This is a gluten free review. The food here is packed with flavor. Here are some of my favorite gluten free options: Cha Cha fries Hand made Guacamole with chips and salsa Empanadas Chicken breast tacos I also love the ambiance. Very open, breezy, and comfortable. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. $18 for three tacos and $20 for enchiladas? Woah.

Nice people at the bar Food was inedible. Pasta was a ball of gluten. Roasted chicken was dry and flavorless. Toast for the burrata was stale.

Dee Dee

Came here for a bd celebration. 6 out of 5 stars for presentation, food, service, and atmosphere. Brian did an exceptional job making sure our meat was well done and to our liking. All of the meat was delicious, and the sides during brunch were perfect. You may also go to the buffet bar where rhere is an assortment of fruit, potatoes, waffles, sausage, fritata, mixed greens, etcetera.They offered a $53 pp special for Father's Day, so it was very crowded. The sides came with polenta, gluten-free bread, mashed potatoes, and fried bananas. Bathrooms are on premises. Valet parking or park for free near the restaurant.

Alex S

My favorite burger place. They have gluten free buns and their salads are tasty too! Great service!

Kate

Hey! It's 2025!!!!! 25!!! Gluten free pasta??? No? You've never heard of it?? Even Barilla has good GF pasta just with 1 ingredient(cheackpea flour or red lentils flour) Your new salmon in the oven was good, though, so was the cauliflower "wings". 2 stars just because you HAVE to have GF pasta in 2025!

Dylan Borton

Amazing selection of Gluten Free/Dairy Free options as well as vegetarian options. Always a great time visiting Little Sister at the Spectrum. Great service, always very knowledgeable servers who are very cautious and thorough when it comes to dietary requirements. Very cool vibes for a date night or groups of friends with cool lighting, music and decor. 10/10.

Melanie Sears

If your looking for a phenomenal breakfast restaurant, this is it! Great menu with gluten-free options. Went on a Sunday, line was long but that’s always a good sign! Lots of outdoor seating.

Annette Blaney

Fantastic waitstaff most cooperative. Menu is varied good selection of antrays with options for vegetarian and gluten free patrons. An array of beverages are available.

Jenny Reyes

Easy and healthy — great for gluten free options

Katie Strekalova

Got the espresso mascarpone waffle, it was delicious. Pity that they can't make it gluten-free, but oh well. The espresso mascarpone is AMAZING, I need to learn how to make it!!! Ordered & served within 20-25 minutes, reasonably good for a summer Sunday at 11am. I like the pay-up-front approach, so European & very efficient.

Cynthia F

I love Lazy Dog. I visit and door dash it frequently. I have celiac disease and can't eat gluten. They have a separate gluten free menu with many delicious options, plus dessert!

Sandra the manager and her crew were super rude to me. First they told me that I asked for cauliflower crust, but I told them that that was not what I asked for and I asked for Gluten-free crust, then they lied to me that that was the same as cauliflower crust. When I checked the website and confronted them with the false information, the same person changed his story and told me that They were actually out of the crust. The price difference was $4 each, when I confronted the manager that they shouldn’t lie and give the correct information from the start. She was completely rude about it and told me “ Do you want the pizza or not?” I said no and she told them just throw it away or give it away to someone else. Completely disrespectful and rude. I have been a customer for years. I will never shop here again.

Denise Berg

I am thrilled that they are able to accommodate my gluten/wheat issue. They even have a gluten free brownie!

Avery Colthan

Overall, this place was really good. I did make the mistake of going on a weekend so it was incredibly busy, but they still seemed to be getting food out pretty quickly and it didn't feel like a huge weight. When we did get the food even though it was busy. It was absolutely delicious and well prepared. They even went out of their way to make sure that my gluten-free Burger was kept away from other things due to my gluten allergy which really impressed me because not a lot of places do that. I will have to say the staff was exceptionally nice. They were delivering food having fun at work, but they were also engaging the guests and cleaning tables in between to make operations go a lot smoother. I've been to many shake shacks not one this busy and considering how well everyone seemed to be working and how quickly everyone was getting in and out. I was pretty impressed

Great brunch! They had no problem providing Gluten Free.

Tess Ricci

The food was absolutely incredible! I have Celiac, so I needed gluten free, and they were great about accommodating me! There aren't many gluten free options, but the options they do have are incredible! Highly recommended! If you are bringing the kids like we did, maybe plan to bring something separate for them -- especially if you have a picky eater like I do!

Dana Kemp

Olivia Leigh

I really like this place they have really good tri-tip so I definitely recommend that they also just have a lunch menu which is a really good deal. The one thing is I wish they had gluten-free breadsticks because there were six are so good and it is a bummer that if you can’t gluten, you can’t eat breadsticks. But otherwise the food is great and I like that it’s like a casual as well

Love that there’s so many gluten free options here!! It’s delicious and cost effective. The owners are so kind! Lots of seating and parking.

Eveline S

Love the naked wings ('cause they are gluten-free) with sweet chili. I usually order the 6 wing combo and take advantage of the different soda options!
