A totally exciting experience. We stayed at the nearby Holiday Inn and read the reviews.
From the outside we were initially put off. Everything is very simple, as is the interior. But, thank God, we still dared to do it.
A really great experience! Fresh ingredients, put together as desired (alternatively, there were also ready-made recipes). You choose a base, optional meat, toppings and sauces.
The portion is generous, the quality is beyond reproach and, best of all, it is a rather light meal in the USA.
Special bonus: everything is gluten-free!
10/10 do not recommend if you’re celiacs. There was a lot of confusion over what I could eat and what I couldn’t. They came up and told me what I ordered wasn’t gluten free 20 minutes after we ordered it, then proceeded to tell me it “actually was” 2 minutes later as they handed me our food.
I took the chance and that’s on me, but the cross contamination has been brutal.
Mike Magnuson is amazing!! He made sure my gluten free needs were addressed while making sure I didn’t feel left out or different! He was super attentive and helpful, he even helped update the membership information! Definitely someone I would request in the future! He took the experience to another level! Thank you so much Mike!!
This restaurant was perfect for our large group! The food was very good and they were very accommodating for my mother with celiac disease. Our server was Greta and she was nothing short of incredible. She was fun, sweet and the perfect server. We absolutely loved her and would come back just for her!
A new absolute must for my family when we come to universal! Unexpectedly reasonable prices and genuinely fantastic food that you wouldn’t normally get at a theme park. The inside atmosphere was a lovely cross between whimsical under the sea, elegant and cozy. I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather end our long (but awesome!) day. Servers were fantastic, friendly, attentive and charismatic, everything you’d want them to be. There were even great options for my mom and her gluten allergy!
Only drawback is it was absolutely freezing inside. Noticeably colder than regular chilly air conditioning in the summer, and we were so uncomfortable, we asked to be moved outside (which ended up being beautiful so no real problem).
Workers are always very kind and helpful. Very aware of gluten allergies. Do wish the cross contamination with the toppings specifically for dairy were better (ex, cheese being in with other toppings, not good for a dairy allergy)
Don’t go here if you have any serious food allergies.
I explained my anaphylactic wheat & shellfish allergy to the waitress. Ordered a burger without a bun.
My burger came out with a bun on it. She assured me it’s ok because it’s gluten free. When in fact there is a possibility it is not since I don’t know the ingredient list. Hence why I ordered it without a bun. The food runner assured me it was okay he would make it right. They took my plate to the back only to just simply remove the bun and bring it back to me. I’m sure you can guess crumbs still remained on the burger. Yes, indeed they did. This place doesn’t take your allergy seriously or understand the importance of a guest feeling confident enough they’re being listened to. How do I know then what even happened in the kitchen if I’m treated that way in person? Will never eat at one of these restaurants again.
Mikayla was a great server so patient with our food allergies and celiacs. Chef came out and talked to us about our options. Food came out pretty quick. Wish I had this place closer to home the rolls were delish!
Great Gluten Free experience. So many choices that they label the gluten items instead because there are so few. Very interesting menue of unique takes on traditional food and fusion items.
There's a pretty good selection of food. The price is fair considering it's location. We didn't have to wait too long before being seated and our stroller was accommodated for. There are some gluten and dairy free options for those who need that consideration.
Love this place! They’re so accommodating to vegan and gluten free diets. The soup is incredible. Their baked goods are amazing. You’re always going to eat well here and the vibes are amazing. Highly recommend!
My Celiac bf completely forgot to order his grilled cheese on a gluten free bun, but the workers here were kind enough to give it to him at no extra cost. Lovely service and amazing food. 10/10 would recommend.
Its rare that I go to a restaurant and enjoy everything Ive tasted. I had the wagyu skewer, distinguished gentleman roll, and an A5 a la carte sushi as well. My boyfriend enjoyed the bluefin tuna set. Finished it off with a banana split dessert featuring mochi donut, creme brûlée banana, and vanilla ice cream. The waitress was also fantastic and kind enough to let me know about the gluten free menu. 10/10 Need to come back and try the cheesecake:)
Fantastic meal, would highly recommend! Also, great service by Francisco, he was super helpful and offered some great advice. We had a member of our party with celiac disease. One of the best accommodating restaurants we have come across in Orlando!

Our server, Hunter, was very attentive, personable and thoughtful. Felt like we were at a backyard cookout with an old friend. All gluten and dairy allergies were taken care of perfectly.
Potter was our server and she was phenomenal. Very personable and attentive to our food allergies. We have been to the Hard Rock Cafe on several occasions and have never been disappointed in the service or the food! We are so grateful that they have a gluten free menu and designated gluten free fryer so we can still enjoy the Hard Rock experience and their delicious burgers and bbq.
Literally never had a meal at Black Rooster we didn’t love. At this point I have tried everything on the menu and it’s all delicious. There are great vegan, vegetarian and even gluten free options on the menu so there’s something for literally everyone! My kids love it, too.
Great place to eat and great experience. Food was delicious and came to our table fast. I especially love the care and attention they took with my food as I have Celiac Disease and needed all my food gluten free with no cross contamination. Chef came out to take my order, she prepared my food to ensure safety and brought it to my table herself covered. I greatly appreciate when I can eat somewhere and know that my food is safe to eat and won’t make me sick. No reaction at all and it was delicious! I had the chicken with roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and lemonade for the drink. Husband had the chicken and ribs and said it was delicious as well. We both loved it!
I’ve been a loyal customer of Sofrito because their food is undeniably excellent, and they offer great gluten-free options—a rarity that I appreciate. However, my recent experiences with their service and attention to detail have been increasingly disappointing, to the point where I can no longer support this establishment.
Over the course of my last three orders, there have been consistent issues. On one occasion, the chimichurri was so excessively salty that it was completely inedible. On another order, I received salad but no salad dressing; most recently, my order didn’t include a salad at all. These might seem like small issues independently, but together, they point to a pattern of carelessness that’s hard to overlook, especially considering the cost of dining here. My dish alone was over $36—at that price point, I expect the details to matter.
What’s even more frustrating is how poorly the management handled these issues. When I called after the chimichurri incident, I spoke to a manager who dismissed my concerns and did nothing to resolve the problem. More recently, when I called about the missing salad, they informed me that they had just started omitting salads—something a customer shouldn’t have to find out after the fact. To make matters worse, when I called again to address these repeated problems, the manager offered only a 20% credit, claiming that they couldn’t do more because they “didn’t have the item in front of them.” This response came across as dismissive and gave the impression that the manager either didn’t believe me or didn’t care to make things right.
Had we been dining in the restaurant, these issues could have been corrected immediately. But as takeout customers, we’ve been left feeling disregarded and undervalued. It’s incredibly disappointing to see such a great restaurant fail so miserably at customer service and consistency. While we gave them multiple opportunities to address our concerns, nothing was adequately resolved.
Unfortunately, this will be the last time we dine at Sofrito. Excellent food can only make up for so much when the service falls so short.
Had a great experience, our waiter was very knowledgeable in terms of allgeries, specifically gluten in this case. Our food was excellent and arrived quickly. The atmosphere was great with lots of sports showing simultaneously. All for a very reasonable price, great portion sizes and amazing quality.
I have a gluten allergy and was very well taken care of. The assistance chef Heidi was very helpful and took her time preparing my order separately. 10/10 would recommend, thank you Heidi!
Excellent !!!
Great welcome and very attentive service.
Good value for money.
Good products for all tastes.
Are attentive to people with gluten-type allergies.
Don't hesitate to stop there for a good lunch.
Sanaa was a truly incredible experience. Our server Jonathan was on top of our every need. He had great recommendations and the food was amazing. And we could see some of the animals from our table which made a truly unique experience!
We were delighted to hear the bread service we'd heard so much about had a gluten free option. The sauce for the Butter Chicken was so happy to have the naan to get it all. The giraffe cake was beautifully presented and tasted great too. This was our favorite meal on Disney properties we've had all week!
We came last night and sat at the bar and had the pleasure of meeting a great bartender Anthony! I think this might be my new favorite restaurant in Orlando! Gluten free pizza was amazing, one of the best I’ve ever eaten! Anthony made his version of cucumber mint margarita, absolutely delicious!! Can’t wait to come back here with my family for brunch or dinner!

Robert was our server. He was friendly and made it a welcoming atmosphere to celebrate our anniversary! The dinner experience for two was delicious and accommodating substitutions were provided for my gluten allergy. The bread and desserts didn't even taste gluten free. Highly recommend this location!
Love the ice cream, we go here all the time for the vegan and gluten free options! Please make one more varieties that don’t have soy,corn,gluten, dairy, oat, our go to has always been black ash coconut and the blue one so we’d like to try something new without these allergens but delicious Thankyou!
Without a doubt the best dining experience we have had at a theme park and our new favorite restaurant at the parks. My wife had the roasted chicken which features a Moroccan inspired flavor profile. It is served on a potato cake with root vegetables. Each element was cooked perfectly. The menu did not indicate it was gluten free but the chef was kind enough to assure us that it was (so either the menu had not been updated with the new item or it was modified). I had the seared tuna noodle bowl. It is served cool and has a higher spiciness so maybe not for everyone. This was truly an elevated meal that we would have been happy with at any restaurant. We honestly felt that the meal was a bargain for its quality and portion. How often can you say that about a restaurant inside a theme park? Don't sleep on Confisco.
Happy hour flatbread and glass of wine for $12.50, and it was so GOOD! I have to be gluten free, and the rest of the table never knew the flatbread was GF, went back 2 days later with more people, even better than, the regular dinners were clean plates!
I love this place! I’m here in Florida for vacation and they were very accommodating with my GF allergy because I have Celiac disease. They do make their fries 100% gluten free. They use COMPLETE separate and clean equipment to make sure the food is not contaminated with any unsafe allergens. They have a cauliflower crust for any kind of pizza as well. Overall is very delicious and I would definitely go there again! 😁
Truthfully I haven’t been to a PF Changs in a long time but I am so happy I went back. The service was really great your staff is so well trained in customer service. Jessica was our server and she guided me through the gluten free options available. When I took my first bite I had to call her over and have her verify it was gluten free. It was so good that I was in disbelief! Thank you so much ! I will be back!
They do have gluten free buns or lettuce "buns".
No lactose free stuff for their shakes though, unfortunately.
Their burgers are DAMN good. I got sweet potato fries and they damn near melted in my mouth and were sooo good. My partner got the swiss burger (gluten free bun) and he loved it. It was our first time, and we will definitely be going back someday.
so delicious!! and so many gluten free options! my mom (gluten intolerant) and I were so happy- the coconut chicken soup, pad thai, and dessert were so yummy and filling. highly recommend!
