Went for dinner here after a show at the Honda Center. Lots of seating at 6pm on a Saturday night. Lots of gluten free options. Had the shrimp tacos which were 3 hughe tacos packed with shrimp. Fantastic flavor and all gluten free. Free parking.
Cute place. Good food. Took a big group, all enjoyed their food. You pay first then sit yourself. Staff come and check on us. They are super nice. Gluten free options, which was important for one of my guests
Custom pizzas for dine-in or to-go with a gluten-free option. Great variety of toppings and friendly staff. The lemonades are super delicious. Family friendly and great for a casual date night.
Food allergy review:
I rarely leave a place without ordering, but the gluten-free menu at this place is an actual lie. They don’t have any indications about cross-contamination risk on their paper menus.
I first asked about whether they had a dedicated fryer for the gluten-free fish and chips. They said no. I understand that sometimes there’s confusion about fryers, so I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I then began asking about their grilled entrees and quickly learned they were unsafe too. For example, they had a black cod special on the menu that was marked as gluten-free. I asked whether the caramelized fish sauce was gluten free, and they said yes. I then asked if it was made in-house, and they said no they just caramelize store-bought fish sauce. I asked to see ingredients on the label, and the first ingredient was wheat.
Then they began insisting that the second special, a grilled halibut with a green verde sauce, was gluten-free. I asked whether the verde sauce had beer and they could not answer me and said they could leave it off. I also never got a clear answer on whether the masa dumplings had any additional flour added or if the baking powder contained gluten, or whether they steamed them with water previously used for gluten-filled kitchen items.
I explained that this meant the items were not gluten-free, and was told the manager believes these things to be gluten-free.
This is very much a place that calls itself gluten-free to appeal to fad dieters. Stay away at all costs if you have an allergy or celiac disease. I don’t have a problem with places not having the resources to accommodate gluten-free people (it’s hard to do so!), but be honest about it. For many people, it’s a matter of life or death to claim boldly that something is gluten-free without actual knowledge.
Love the fresh/unique food they serve. Very happy that my gluten free husband has many options in food and drinks. I also love the custom drinks, a must try!
Went here Saturday at 5pm for dinner prior to heading to the Honda Center for a show. Even though there were lots of other people, we were seated within 10 min. Rapid service and everything tasted great. Unlimited refills on sodas, fries and brocklii is always nice. Needed gluten free bun and they took special care to avoid cross contamination.
Great food. Good service. Amazing location. The prices were unbelievable for the quality. Burger was top. Truffle fries were delicious. Blackened Mahi tacos some of the best I've ever had. Also tried the arugula prosciutto pizza on gluten free crust. It was out of this world. Can't recommend enough. The room was inviting and for a full house not over packed. Lighting was soft and chill. Plenty of TVs playing live sports. Great experience. Highly recommend.
It was my first time coming here. I went out with a group of co-workers and Friends. All of the many dishes looked and smelled delicious. I tried the spaghetti and meatballs which were decadent and Rich with the sauce. I also tried the gluten-free pizza and a bacon-wrapped blue cheese date. I would definitely come back here. It was very chill and relaxed. And the staff was amazing and professional and super helpful explaining all of the specials.
I have a severe gluten allergy (celiac disease). I told the waitress and she assured me that it would be communicated to the kitchen etc. my salad came out with croutons in it. I told the person who brought it that i have an allergy and made sure to ask him to NOT remove the croutons, but to please get me another as even a crumb could cause a reaction. He said okay and brought it back out and i see two crumbs on the salad .. i told him that i cant eat it because there were croutons on it. He rolled his eyes and brought it back to the kitchen. My dish came out and it seemed fine. But i want others with allergies to know that it isn't a safe place to eat if this is how they treat allergies.
One of the healthiest places in Orange County to eat. Doesn't hurt that the food tastes pretty amazing on top of being good for you. Tons of stuff on the menu for anyone to enjoy even people with dietary restrictions. Easy to turn a meal into a vegan one or gluten free. Love this place.
Delicious and fresh, as well as reasonably priced. I love that they have a little bar inside. The service was great. Not that this is a selling point for me but almost all items on the menu are gluten free. We'll definitely be back!
The Streamliner Lounge is a unique place with a neighborhood feel and excellent service. As a customer, I feel appreciated. The menu is traditional food that they make their own with personalized twists. Any exceptions I’ve asked for they accommodate if they can. They even have Gluten Free bread for us GF people.
Its nostalgic decor is what draws people in and I hope they never change it. The trains coming and going during daylight hours adds to the pleasure. If they were to redecorate or remodel, I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much. I love it the way it is, and have been coming here ever since I moved to OC 14 years ago.
Celiac friendly
