Exceptionally friendly & attentive service. My daughter & I had gluten free pancakes that were great. I had an omelette and it was one of the fluffiest and best omelettes I’ve ever had. We will be back here next time we visit the Chicago area.

Listen, I don’t know what kind of wizardry is happening in the kitchen at Mission BBQ, but I’m convinced they have a direct line to BBQ heaven. The ribs? Absolute perfection. They fall off the bone like they’ve got better places to be, and honestly, so do I—because after eating here, I’m probably moving in. And let’s talk about the beans. I don’t know what they put in them (besides magic and possibly a little bit of American pride), but these things are so good they should be illegal. I would trade my entire fantasy football team for another bowl. Oh, and if you’re gluten-free? No problem! They’ve got a gluten-free menu, which means you can dive into BBQ bliss without worry. Because nothing should stand between you and glorious smoked meats. Long story short: Mission BBQ is the real deal. If you love America, BBQ, and feeling like you just got hugged by a plate of ribs, get yourself here immediately. 10/10, would eat myself into a brisket coma again.

Out of the Culver's u have been to, across the country, which not one was not good. This one is my favorite. They went out of their way to let me know the cheese sauce is not gluten-free. Good to know!!

Aurelio's has the best gluten free pizza, hands down. The wife and I have tried dozens of places and absolutely nothing compares. I'm leaving a review, specifically for all those people looking to see if anyones commented on the GF pizza here (like I have in the past). You Won't regret it. The texture, the seasoning, the Everything. (We love the largest one they have [medium] with mushroom, spinach and fresh tomato.) YUM.

I’ve eaten here a few times - pretty good mimosas and they do have some gluten free options. Unfortunately I was given the regular pancakes from the kitchen and thankfully my waitress noticed and immediately switched them out for me! Overall a nice breakfast spot, good coffee, comfy ambiance.

An unforgettable lunch - exceptional service and a truly special touch! To the management and staff of The Foxtail, A sincere expression of gratitude is written to convey the incredible 1st time experience at F.T. on June 7th a Saturday. Everything about the visit was exceptional, from the delicious food to the personalized service. The server made the day special. Their attention to detail was outstanding, and they were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations. The thoughtful and personalized attention given to our table made everyone feel like VIPs. They even coordinated a custom Father's Day gift, a heartwarming and unexpected gesture that made the occasion memorable. The food was outstanding. Specific dishes, such as the perfectly cooked steak and shrimp poke bowl (made custom gluten-free), An octopus appetizer was prepared with expertise and was an absolute delight for the palette. The presentation of the oysters on the halfshell was accompanied by all the appropriate utensils and fixings, served on a mountain of crushed ice. For cocktails, I personally enjoyed the "smoke on the water" and "jetplane." Dining at Foxtail has always been a pleasure for the group that introduced me to the venue, and this visit was particularly noteworthy due to the custom Father's Day gift option. Thanks to Nate Cooper and the staff for making the Father's Day lunch wonderful. The dedication to excellent service and the ability to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere is appreciated. We will definitely be returning to The Foxtail and recommending it to others. Sincerely, Bob Tutsock

Went here because I heard they have a good gluten free menu. The GF buffalo chicken sandwich was awesome! My waitress, a short brunette girl, was attentive and friendly. I appreciate that my drink was never left empty. Will definitely go there again.

Came in with hubby as we were referred by a friend for dinner and the hospitality was amazing, food was great and the restaurant was very elegant considering its a strip mall location. Beautiful , clean , and amazing fresh homemade dishes . The owner/chef greeted its customers like family . Had the scallops, lobster bisque, gluten free bread/ pesto, garlic fresh herbs and keylime pie . Everything was delicious and beyond to happy with the service attention. Definitely would recommend this place to try out !! 5 stars here! Will be back …

I am SO glad we've come across Chula's not too long ago. We had walked by it time and time again and finally we walked in one day to test it. I wish we would have done so earlier! I believe ownership changed a year ago - the food is FANTASTIC. My better half has a gluten/dairy/soy allergy and they have been able to accommodate her with so many different different foods! The carnitas tacos are a staple for our Tuesday nights. The ceviche tostadas are outstanding! Even the rice and beans taste fresher to me here versus other places. I have posted in a local forum about our experience and it seems that the previous ownership was not as well-received, and a few people didn't realize that a new family had taken over. I highly recommend anyone that loves good Mexican food to give it a shot!
