Today is my Mom's 75th birthday.
She has food allergies, so I expect to pay more for a good cake.
I ordered a small chocolate cake with vanilla frosting that's also gluten/soy/corn free. With the extra $15 for corn-free powdered sugar I paid $79. I told them it was for a celebration and asked them to put a 75 on top. They told me that, due to the ingredient limitations, they couldn't color the frosting and that the 75 would be white on white. I approved that and told them to just make it look nice.
This is what I got. Did a professional decorator do this? It's yellow (is that even safe to eat based on what they told me on the phone when I ordered?). It's not proportional. It isn't even remotely celebratory looking. I could've done it better myself. I'm so disappointed. 3 stars because at least the cake is good.
I am OBSESSED with this burger joint!!! As someone who eats gluten free, their gf burger buns are PHENOMENAL and don't crumble at the slightest touch. I also love their spanky sauce and my husband loves the "dirty" version. My only two complaints is that they don't seem to be open on weekends (sort of sporadic hours), and you pay the same if you don't want fries, which I'm not always in the mood for.
With their hours, I recommend checking if the online ordering is available in order to see if they are open. I hope they eventually start being open on weekends because this will be my go to spot when coming to visit Tacoma!
We love this place! It is our go-to choice when people are in town. Options enough to be loved by everyone. Gluten-Free (✔️) Vegetarian (✔️) Food is consistently delicious. Service is always great.
We were looking for a place just like this for our meeting- lovely service, decent food, and the ability to chat without a lot of interruptions. Gluten free waffles sealed the deal! It wasn't the best food I've ever had but it did the job and we had a lovely meeting.
Fryer is not gluten free so don't get anything that could be fried like the spare ribs. I have had fried rice, all noodle dishes, chicken and broccoli, green beans, and fresh rolls. no reactions and great flavor. Just doesn't offer dine in.
Very mid experience. Entire place was unbussed, counters and floors were extremely dirty, service was very slow. There were maybe 2 other customers the almost hour we were there during dinnertime. Hamburger fell apart in my hands and tasted like nothing. "Cheese fries" was a weird cheese...gravy? Spent $60 for two people. i wanted to get a gluten-free bun, but that was an extra $4!!
Only redeemer was the float and shake. Wont be returning.
Brought four of us to eat after the Kids Museum. Amazing food as always! They have gluten-free pasta to boot. The two kiddos we brought give it all the stars. Very, very kid friendly.
My fiancé grew up going to this place for pizza all the time so he's always loved it. He was a bit sad when we learned I had celiacs because he thought he wouldn't be able to share this wonderful pizza with me. To our suprise, they have amazing gluten free pizza and do very well on cross contamination! Genuinely kind people and we were so excited to be able to get pizza together again! Flavors, crust, options, and service were all top notch. A bit on the pricier side if you're not able to agree on Toppings, but totally worth it for pizza that won't get me sick!
A ordered the gluten-free Hawaiian pizza through DoorDash. I never got my 20 oz. Sprite, although that could be a door dash issue. However, my pizza was very overcooked, had minimal toppings, and costed $28. I was so sad, I was excited for pizza. I’ve never written a negative review before.

Absolutely amazing food. Genuine people with phenomial service. Generous portion sizing. I had a gluten free Bulgogi Burger and it BLEW MY MIND!!! So incredibly delicious and the sweet potato fries were great. Outdoor and indoor seating. Indoor seats are pretty sparse but the decor is super clean and welcoming. My celiac partner can eat here without issue too!!
Marzano’s is awesome! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and a bad accident on I-5 made us nearly an hour late for our reservation. We called twice and they very kindly accommodated us. Our server Ronnie was great and the food was so very delicious. We had the Pork Belly appetizer and my wife had the gluten free Carbonara. I had the Boscaiola. The food was timed perfectly and tasted so good. This was our third time to go there and it is definitely worth the trip from Olympia. Thank you Marzano’s!!
This is our second time going here for our anniversary. There was about 4 years between visits, but it was just as wonderful as the first time. Service is great and the ambiance is romantic and intimate! The menu is smaller, but that does not limit the delicious dishes and drinks to choose from. They have a lot of options for people who don’t drink, are gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian/vegan. I can guarantee we will go here again in the future.

Farelli's pizza is like the pizza places of old with fresh made dough and sauce and lots of tasty options. They don't have a problem with allergies (gluten and dairy) and make the dining experience very pleasurable. Our waiter (so funny and kind)didn't get his name. He made sure our food was allergy free. His table side jovial personality made our time even better. The pizzas, cheesy chicken calzone, were all really delicious! We also got bbq boneless chicken wings and df cheesy bread-so delicious! We will visit again when we are in town. Thank you to our red-headed waiter, which made our experience even better!
This place serves the best gluten-free pizza in town, and even the gluten lovers in my house can’t get enough of the Bigfoot pizza—it’s their favorite! It’s definitely worth the trip and the chance to relax in their beautiful space. A perfect spot for the whole family or a cozy date night!
The kitchen was slow, even though we were seated quickly and ordered within 15 mins of sitting we then had to wait over 30 mins for the food to come out. The food was good, nothing to rave about. 2 of us have Celiac and the GF safety is not taken seriously enough. Avoid if your allergies are severe.
I, well, I really mean we, have been shopping at Franz bakery outlet for years. For me, I come in for the gluten-free breads. Now I wish they had gluten-free bagles and english muffins.
Classic place to get a REALLY good Sandwich. This place beats subway or Jimmy Johns any-day.
They offer gluten free bread although i wouldn’t recommend if you have Celiac due to the nature of the place.
The gluten free bread is small but the filling isnt! I still found myself content after eating.
Best gluten free pizza my girlfriend has ever had she says. My more traditional combo pizza was excellent. They didn't charge us a fee to reserve the birthday room and it was super bowl Sunday so that was on the TV. This place is awesome
Thankfully this place is on board with gluten free options. They offer Tamari as a soy sauce alternative so we could enjoy their delicious food! I had the steak and shrimp with fried rice and grilled vegetables. So much yum!
I ordered desserts from Spilled Butter for both my birthday and my wedding and I can say both were some of the best decisions I've made. All of her baked goods are irresistible. I picked out more than enough desserts for the people attending, and even then, took only the tiniest bit of leftovers home. No one could stop eating the desserts. Even the gluten free ones were cleared out!
She's professional, kind, and makes the best desserts. I'd highly recommend her for any and all events you might need food!
Visited on Halloween and had an exceptional experience. Enjoyed the Lobster Roll with Fries, Beet Salad, and non-alcoholic Headless Horseman. The music was Halloween themed and the perfect audio addition to the fog over the water.
This was my second time here since the remodel and have also ordered the Grilled Lobster. Great gluten free options and consistent amazing service can be found here. Free onsite parking available. Indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating. Reservations highly recommended.
About as Tacoma as it gets, corner of 1st & S. Tacoma, right around the corner from Stadium Thriftway. No frills, just great pizza.
Traditional pies are all 18", gluten free are 14" wide. Every pizza on the menu is delicious.
I like to walk in, order, shop, and eat one, sometimes two slices right there and take the rest home.
Delivery available via 3rd party services.
Primo Grill is a very classy, yet relaxed restaurant. I absolutely loved the decor and vibe of the place. We were greeted right away. We had a reservation but I did see that people could walk-in and get sat as well. They offer gluten-free noodles and I highly recommend the shrimp scampi with those noodles (PHENOMENAL)! The service was incredible. If you save room for dessert, the bourbon chocolate cake is where it’s at (also gluten free and delicious). Overall a truly great experience and definitely worth the stop. Fair warning - dishes are $17 or so and up but still worth it in my opinion. This would be the perfect place for a date. As far as parking, they don’t have a designated parking lot but there is parking available on the street around the building and surrounding area.
Absolutely delicious dinner, super friendly staff (Our waitress was Kendra, and she was so sweet, knowledgeable, and patient with our large group) and Celiac friendly!
A clean and comfortable shop with tons of gluten free options. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and shrimp pho while my fiancé got the beef pho, we both absolutely enjoyed our meals and they stayed hot even after having to take a quick stop before getting home. Broth was aromatic and flavorful and the portions were perfect. 10/10 would recommend if you're celiac and craving Vietnamese food.
Great spot for delicious seafood. We had the crab dip, blackened rockfish, and mahi tacos with the boathouse margaritas. The service was efficient, friendly, and faster than expected, especially on a holiday. The drinks are great and well crafted. The menu clearly identified gluten-free options, so it was easy to order. They have gluten-free buns, so you can enjoy the dips even with a gluten allergy.
Red Robin is always a great experience for us!
My husband and I took my friend to lunch on this occasion.
She had the monster burger on gluten-free bun and garlic fries.
I had the shroom burger and sweet potato fries and coffee. My husband had some sort of hot spicy burger and garlic fries and coffee.
Our server Michelle was very personable and answered all our questions.
The manager asked us how we were doing.
The three of us enjoyed our lunch.
I had been to their Bellevue location, and it was amazing, so I made a reservation at 4:15pm in the lounge at their Tacoma location to eat prior to the Sept 3rd P!NK Concert. I was disappointed and let down by my experience. Below, I have a few of the cliff notes to why.
• The concert started at 7 pm, and we arrived at 4:15 pm, so more than enough time to enjoy a couple of drinks, eat prior, and be able to get their dessert. Unfortunately, that did NOT happen for us.
• By 4:25pm, we have ordered their Apline Cheese with Gluten Free, and charcuterie board with Gluten-free dippers, the Espresso Martini, and Mule. (Mind you, it didn't seem very busy, and two gentlemen were working the bar)
• Our waitress let us know by 5:30pm that we had been forgotten about. We never got our drinks or food. (Just water).
• By the time we finally got our first drink and cheese with charcuterie board all together, it was approaching 6pm. We had to eat it all SO fast and not really enjoy it. My stomach got upset. Because we only got 30 minutes to eat and chat. Not so fun.
• Based on how slow everything was, we decided not to risk it and order the chocolate or another drink, which both things we planned to do since it was happy hour AND we got there at 4:15pm.
So we didn't get the drinks and dinner experience we were hoping for before the concert. That did not happen for us this evening.
Outstanding sushi, probably the best we've had in years. Incredibly celiac safe with knowledgeable staff on avoiding gluten (GF soy sauce and real crab!). The service was spectacular and the food was top notch. Cannot recommend enough.
The whole menu looked amazing. I was with my husband who's gluten free and we were just wanting to share a snack. There were only a few GF options, so I'd love to come back and try many other things! We had the green papaya salad, a chicken skewer and sticky rice, mango desert. The skewer was ok, but the other two items amazing. Worth checking out!
Great food, amazing beer selection, and fabulous service! I'm gluten free and can always find 3 ciders on tap and can get a dog or sausage without the bun. It's 21 and over so leave the kids at home :)
Honestly my friend and I were really hyped to come here, she had been here years ago and it was my first time. The wait wasn’t a problem and the host was really nice and probably would have been an excellent server if we were in her section. Ours on the other hand wasn’t terrible but obviously didn’t care about us at all.
She clearly forgot our drinks at the bar when we finally got them 15ish min later they were warm and completely flat. Like if I opened a bottle of champagne the night before and tried to use it for a mimosa the next day.
My food wasn’t bad at all, (except the partially frozen strawberries) it just wasn’t hot and the avocado was that shade of brown from sitting under a heat lamp for too long, disappointing but probably would have been good if I got it fresh. My friend’s food was sooooo bad though. The cheese was rock hard on the edges and the burger was burnt, dry and straight up nasty. Fries tasted old.
The server never asked how anything was and just dropped a check when we still had half of our meal left. We took it as a sign and left.
I really, really wanted to like this place and the one really nice thing I have to say is I often get sick from cross contamination with gluten and I did not get sick here at all. Disappointing overall.
A delicious spot with excellent vegan and gluten free options! We had the Buena dia burrito, the vegan breakfast sandwich with gluten free bread, two Dude's donuts (Homer, churro), and the French press coffee. All of it was exceptional! The dairy free butter spread on the breakfast sandwich was a huge hit.
