Wow. I was so excited to try Vero Amore. I was astounded by how much our server hates gluten free and was completely unwilling to even discuss options. I asked about sauces for the pasta and she said, “I don’t know what you are allergic to, the description on the menu tells you what is in it” I wound up with gf penne with crushed tomato sauce and baked chicken. I was told I couldn’t have any cheese as it all had gluten. She was aggressively unwilling to help to the point I had to ask for her to get someone else to help me. I didn’t choose to have celiac disease and I know it can be hard for restaurants. I try to ask reasonable questions to stay safe and have never encountered this level of unwillingness to even try to accommodate. I thought going to a local restaurant with gluten free options on the menu would be fun and it turned out to be embarrassing and uncomfortable for our entire party in a way that I have never experienced. I gave one stars because I didn’t get sick. It was flavorless food and the worst service I have ever experienced. Don’t go here.
Actually, the bar tender was really nice and the drinks were great. The GM was also really nice when we talked with him before our meal.
Our waiter Kyler was very kind and patient with us. There was great service and the food was delicious. I love that they had an extensive gluten free menu.

I booked a reservation for 3, to celebrate my spouses birthday with our teenage son. We had a fantastic time. I put in the notes when booking that I have celiac and must eat gluten free, and that we were celebrating a bday. They had hand written card for my spouse upon arrival. The food was delicious, our server was knowledgeable and attentive and he even brought a bday champagne toast and a bday dessert. It was a lovely time. The ambiance was nice , they validate parking in the esplanade garage. Fabulous time. And we all cleared our plates. Thank you Flint for making his bday special.
Terrible customer service. Online description is wrong and the employee basically oh well too bad! If we ordered gluten free why were we given shrimp tempura? The online description says only not shrimps tempura. So basically paid for food I can’t eat and we were told too bad! Fix your online descriptions!
We took my Brother and Sister-in-law for his Birthday. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Ambiance was perfect! We started with the Camelback Seafood Platter! Awesome! Gluten-free crab cakes were divine! Best ever!
A great little mom and pop restaurant where you get friendly service and good food at every visit. It's one our families favorite places to eat. They also keep the restroom clean and have gluten free options. I highly recommend this place!

I have to say I'm a little disappointed in our experience here last night. I had been given a glowing recommendation for this place. It wasn't anything major, just a few little things. I have to say our server, Summer, was great.
It was a Sunday night, so prior to heading over we checked their website for a waitlist option. They had one! We put ourselves on the list and were told we were the only ones, so we drove straight up there.
The entry was packed when we arrived. We told the host that we were on the waitlist. Even though the website said we were the only ones on the list, she told us it would be an hour wait. She was nice enough to suggest we eat in the bar area as it was first come, first served and we accepted that option.
They had plenty of gluten free options for my wife, which was a huge plus.
Our server was quick to take our orders, and was very helpful with my wife's allergies. She came by and checked on us several times during the excessive hour and 10 minute wait for our food. When the food came out, I expressed to my wife that my steak was luke-warm and she said hers was similar, but I was hungry so I started eating.
After only 5 minutes or so, another runner came to the table with our exact same food and seemed shocked that we already had food. I told him my food was cold and I'd be happy to trade it for the literally steaming copy of my steak he had on his plate. He told me he would check if he could do that and then disappeared never to return.
I noticed my wife hadn't touched her side, and realized one of her allergens had made it on the plate. Our server was incredibly quick to resolve that issue once she was alerted.
Overall it was just a bit frustrating to have the website mislead us on the wait time, the food to take over an hour to arrive, the food to not be hot when it arrived, to be ignored when we indicated the food was not hot, and to have had one of the side dishes come prepared improperly. The food tasted good and the server really seemed to do her best to help us out where she could.
Edit: I emailed you screenshots of the wait-list option from your website. It was an option after clicking "reservations" on your home page. I also sent you a screenshot of the text I received confirming my name on the wait-list.
This was our first time to Buck & Rider and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience we had. Our waitress was particularly helpful and knowledgeable about their gluten free options since 3 of us have celiacs. We were very impressed with the many items that could be made without gluten! And also happy to be reassured the fryer was dedicated gluten free etc - they take extra precautions to avoid cross contamination. We had our 10 and 14 year old children and the rest of the group was adults and everyone was very pleased with their dishes. The fish was so fresh and delicious and the steaks were perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. We tried several appetizers and salads and everything was fresh and healthy with lots of vegetables and nothing too heavy or overdone. The service was friendly and professional and efficient… our water glasses were frequently refilled which we appreciated. We will definitely be back!
Did Gluten free well. Is is indicated on their menu. Gabriel did a fine job of taking care of us. Thanks Gabriel! There were quite a few choices and the food and drinks were tasty. Portions were huge... So dinner for tomorrow too. They seemed to take the need to be gluten Free very seriously, which I really appreciate. Atmosphere was nice... But casual attire was fine. We WILL go back. The food was VERY good! No wait for us. Service was as expected or better.
Raw bar - yay!! Several choices of raw oysters, my favorite was called "Sweet Jesus"
Delightful sushi, including several gluten free options. My daughter has celiac disease which is why we decided to try this restaurant. It didn't disappoint
Amazing first experience at Fleming's. They've got a slew of Gluten Free options, and even a separate menu. The petite filet was phenomenal, asparagus and mushrooms super tasty and Joe, our waiter, was absolutely kind and just wonderful! I'd be happy to go back some day!
Came for a company dinner. I was surprised that my steak ordered medium rare (closer to rare) was nothing short of well done. There were very few options for substitutions for gluten free and dairy free sides and in general. Allergy crowd beware.
First time here and waitstaff friendly and helpful. They have plant-based milk alternatives (almomd, oat and soy) which are all gluten-free. They also have GF bagels. I had GF oatmeal from Mylk Lab and they prepared it for me with soy milk. . .it was good. Very comfortable atmosphere.
Delicious food! My family and I arrived on a Sunday right at opening 11am. There wasn't a wait as we were the first to arrive. Tons of food options for kids and adults. And several Gluten Free options for I have celiacs.
The drinks are fantastic as well. Our waitstaff was sweet & professional. 100% recommend
My wife and I made our first visit to the Angry Crab Shack and, overall, we were quite pleased. I am gluten free so I didn't have a lot of choices, nor did I expect to have. I got the Red Beans and Rice. The serving size was HUGE and the flavor was excellent, although I was it had been spicier. I also got lemon pepper fries which were very good.
My wife got a shrimp po-boy and really liked it. She had to take some shrimp out in order to eat it.
There was plenty of parking and it's easy to find. The decor is meh and quite a few of the chair had torn covers. Allowing people to draw on the walls is interesting and I'm sure some folks have a good time but it really cheapened the general look of the restaurant.
The service was good, though not speedy. Give it a go. You'll be glad you did.
Nice gluten free menu. Great good great service. Really liked this place. Service was great...just what I thought great service should be. The food was fantastic. Good portions. Thanks so much for a wonderful dinning experience! Will return.

Great staff super knowledgeable with allergies, my wife explained to him that I was celiac and he even went ahead (the server) and ordered for me, the gluten free pasta we delicious, also salad is available and you can’t go wrong with that. Gave us some extra chocolates for our kids. Had to wait around fifteen-twenty minutes because they were busy, but it was worth the wait.
I’ve come here a few times now. I’ve been for dates, happy hour with coworkers, and lunch with my sister. Every single time has been amazing. I highly recommend coming at night if you want the romantic vibe. I’ve always had a good experience and enjoyed the food.
Today the experience deserved an extra shoutout though. My sister has celiac so trying new places is always stressful for her. One simple oversight can send her to the ER. But Oscar was absolutely amazing. He answered all of our questions, reviewed the restaurants policies/procedures, and kept checking on our order in the kitchen to make sure that all of her items were made separate with new gloves and cooking utensils. Thank you for making her feel safe during her meal!
For our other celiacs: the mussels are gluten free as long as you don’t get the side of bread, she highly recommends!
This place is our go-to! They have great food! Take your time with the menu, and you can create all kinds of different combinations. Remember, if you are there wearing a bib-you are one of the smart ones! Wearing gloves helps keep the messiness down, too. The staff is always friendly and gives us great service. Highly recommend- and they know what gluten free is- the best part of all!
Fantastic restaurant and GREAT gluten free options. The staff was beyond accommodating. From the moment we checked in, everyone took that extra step to say happy birthday. The drinks were hand crafted and perfect. The food was beyond expectations. Would definitely recommend for a date night or formal night out with friends.
A couple of weeks ago we decided to try Red Lobster again after moving to Arizona a few years ago. We were very happy with our meal and exceptionally pleased with our server Melvin. I have celiac and he was very helpful in providing me with gluten free options. We went back today for a late lunch and were lucky enough to get Melvin again. His service is outstanding!
Gluten free menu is absolutely amazing. I had the salmon on the wooden plank, garlic potato’s and mixed veggies. Moscow mule to drink and it was probably one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Went here with a friend and decided to come back for my family birthday dinner. Definitely a good choice! Crème brûlée was very light and the sugar glaze was perfect. Compliments to the chef!!! Waitress’s never make you feel rushed. Service is amazing and so is the food.
Fresh, delicious food and great service.
Our first time here we were warmly greeted and welcomed to ask questions. We were given samples of “Kyle’s Candy” which turned out to be some of the tastiest salmon ever! Chris was awesome, friendly and had really solid recommendations on dishes and sauces to pair well with the fish we selected. Everything from fish and chips, clam chowder, California halibut, coleslaw, white fish salad- was the best we have had in Arizona. Clean restaurant with plenty of seating in a bright airy space. Gluten free options are available and very good here. Highly recommend!

One of the best services ever!! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was gluten-free for us which we truly appreciate it as it is difficult to get that in many other restaurants. They did that with sincere joy and that made our night. Will definitely be back!
THE BEST CEVICHE I’VE EVER HAD!!
The long awaited brick and mortar location is finally open and it is beautiful!! PLEASE BE KIND, AND PATIENT, AS THEY’RE STILL IN THE SOFT OPENING! The ceviche and the drinks are ready and flowing!
Gluten free ceviche, botana and cocteles!!
Don’t waste anymore time and stop by today!
My daughter said some of the meat didn't taste fresh. I loved this place as a gluten free vegan though! Oh my! So many options! Glass noodles and rice noodles! So many seaweed dishes! So many veggie options! It is expensive though. $21 per person! 😳
The service was beyond better than any other buffet or public facility I've been to lately! We stayed until 10 and unlike others telling us to leave and taking trays away at 9:40, they kept all food out till 10pm and politely checked in with us, asking us if we would like anything else before they take the food away. I wish all people still had customer value like I felt here!
Stopped in by chance and left thankful we did. We both had one of their Special salads. I need to be Gluten and Dairy free so going to any restaurant can be challenging. Our server Ashley was wonderful and very knowledgeable about my food issues. What a relief!
My husband enjoyed their Souerdough bread so much that he bought 2 loaves to take home. We will stop in again for sure!
Very crowded for a Wednesday night around 5pm... I'm guessing it's because of the happy hour specials!? There were plenty of appetizer specials to choose from...not sure if drink specials are part of the happy hour deal as we were drinking Pepsi tonight. We enjoyed the gluten free version of calamari and it was delicious...2 dipping sauces too! I enjoyed the Tavern Burger w/fries...sounds boring but it was yummy...perfectly cooked and nice, fresh garnish to add to it! Hubby enjoyed the Cajun Shrimp pasta Alfredo w/ garlic toast! Equally as delicious! Hannah provided excellent service, checked back often and refilled our drinks when necessary. We just moved here from Chicago and miss all the variety of restaurants to choose from but I have to say, Augies just might make me feel like back home...Though we're accustomed to enjoying a soup or salad included with our dinners back home, especially at the price point here, it was still an enjoyable meal and we will be back to try other menu items!
Celiac friendly
