The atmosphere is so great, and the cream puffs and macarons are a must! I also love the gluten free offerings.

I ordered a a gluten free pizza as I am gluten intolerant for delivery and instead of calling and saying they were out of gluten free dough they just made my pizza with regular dough and wrote a note on the box that they were out of the gluten free dough so I had to order something else for dinner because I couldn’t eat what I had ordered and paid for

Tasty treat on a hot day! We like to visit local ice cream shops when we travel, and this one is worth the stop. Our family had vanilla, hazelnut bliss, stop choc & roll, and peanut butter chocolate chip. All were good! The optional waffle cone triangle is a fun little addition for those who want it. I greatly appreciated fun flavor options that are gluten free.

A modern swanky intimate cider house. The ciders weren't overly sweet and had unique blends. It is a 100% gluten free facility, so we felt comfortable ordering (my husband is Celiac). Delicious food, but a touch expensive; however, we felt it was so worth it. There were also options with goat cheese. Service was a touch slow because there was only one person working front and back of house, but he was super great.

Really great sauce, had gluten free pizza too!

Julia Rei

The food was really good! Thanks for offering a gluten free menu! We had ribs and a grilled chicken which was absolutely perfectly grilled.

Honest Abe’s Downtown is hands down one of the best burger spots in Lincoln. Their rotating burger specials are what keep me coming back—they’re always creative, always delicious, and sometimes a little outside the box in the best way possible. One of the biggest surprises for me? Peanut butter on a burger. I had never even considered it before, but after trying one of their specials that featured peanut butter, I was completely hooked. It added this amazing creamy texture and a slight sweetness that balanced perfectly with the savory beef and toppings. Now, I put peanut butter on every burger I make at home—it’s that good. On top of their incredible burgers, Honest Abe’s is also super accommodating. They offer vegan burger options and gluten-free buns, so everyone can enjoy an awesome meal here. Whether you’re adventurous with flavors or need something customized, they’ve got you covered. If you love burgers and want to try something different (and life-changing), this is the place to go!

We love Tico’s!! The last two times we’ve gone we’ve had Tierra as our server. She’s such a delight & provides us wonderful service! She even remembered us from her first time serving us. So personable I truly can’t say enough good things about her. I’m celiac too and I’ve never had an issue here, their gluten free menu has quite a few options.

Terrible restaurant. We ate at a similar place in KC many years ago and loved the big salad bar, so we were excited to try the salad bar here. The website makes it sound like its got lots of gluten free options, but the reality of the experience was much different. Food looked like it had been out forever, nothing tasted fresh, most of it was flavorless or terrible tasting. The salad bar itself was small with minimal selections. We instantly regretted our decision to eat here. Barely anyone else in the restaurant and even while we didn't get the meat, the meat looked overcooked and you hardly saw them bringing anything out. Highly recommend to avoid.

Went back after 8 years, wish I just stayed away. Used to be my favorite restaurant. They have let me down. Zero gluten free options that are also meatless, other than their house salad. And my house salad was clearly last nights salad kept in the fridge…it was completely wilted and limp with a Parmesan crisp that had nothing crisp about it. Had to cut, fold and pull apart the fridge cold crisp, that should break when tapped with your fork edge. Sides did not come with our sandwiches , I had the Jamaican jerk wrap with a side salad (it came with no side) and the side salad was not even substituted as a side for gluten free people when their meal came with a side. Would have chosen a different meal, if the rest of my party could have had a real dinner. Unfortunately, a waste of time. Because of their lack of creativity in their food and lack of respect for people with sensitivities, I will not be going back (even though I can eat gluten) because it was that bad.

Wow!! Just had the gluten free plate and I am so satisfied! Piled high with delicious meat, fresh salad, everything perfect. The lentil soup is the best I have ever had. Thank you for caring and providing a nourishing meal with such excellence!

Bella is a stellar server--the kind of server you hope for. She made an extra efforts to answer all our menu questions and caught that the steak was well past the requested medium rare before we did! She even pushed back on the kitchen when they disagreed that it was good enough and had the steak salad remade. Props to Bella. On another note, the chocolate toffee cake is out of this world! It's flourless, so gluten-sensitive people, eat up! Omg... did I just drool...?!

Went to Naughty Buddha Burger on a friend's rec and it was absolutely worth it. Friendly and helpful cook and cashier. Great space with local art decor. Plenty of parking. Food was excellent. If you are down for vegetarian, vegan or gluten free, it's here. The menu is pretty deep and and the watermelon seasonal salad is outstanding. Food can take a while to come out, so don't go in a hurry.

I called ahead and also talked to the guy at the counter to make sure they had gluten free ice cream options and cones since I have celiac disease. All the allergies were marked with a G for gluten or N for nuts on the menu, so it should have been easy to avoid gluten. But I tried a sample of the bruiseberry and then asked for it on for gluten free cone, and the guy at the counter said there actually is gluten in it, it's just not marked for some reason. So he just said oops and marked it with a G and I had to run to the bathroom and deal with it.

Place was a little hard to find but totally worth it! Anytime school activities take kid/teachers to Lincoln for an event, a box of Hurts Doughnuts comes back! Our first time here and the 2 girls working were welcoming and upbeat! More than happy to help us and were patient even with a growing line behind us. We came on a lucky day that they had gluten-free donuts, yay! So we got my daughter a box of gluten-free donuts and then a big box for the rest of us. We tried a few right when we got back to the hotel, and they are worth the hype! Soft, fluffy, full for flavor, and 😋 sweet! Open 24hours too!! Insane! Definitely stopping here when we come to Lincoln!

Fantastic gluten free food.

Great gluten free pizza, nice workers and great atmosphere. First choice when wanting pizza.

The ten of us enjoyed an amazing dining experience, as we celebrated my wife’s birthday last night, at The Oven, downtown. Our server, Tory, set the tone for a relaxing, enjoyable evening. She was calm and helpful, answering each of our questions with confidence and direction as we explored the menu. Our age range was from one to 88 years. Tory assisted in our various dietary needs; including gluten-free, diabetic, and vegetarian requests. She even broke into Spanish when speaking with my mother-in-law, showing her much respect. The food was fresh, flavorful and served hot from the kitchen. I especially enjoyed the eggplant appetizers, and the house favorite Shrimp meal. Their naan is always awesome, but their rice was especially delicious last night. All the food was seasoned well for flavor, yet never too salty. We enjoyed various specialty drinks, my favorite was the gin drink, that Tory recommended, because it went so well with my meal. The place was hopping. So many different groups of people all enjoying themselves. And we never felt rushed. I know that our server didn’t do it all herself, the host, bartenders, cooks and wait staff support were all on point last night. Thanks again, Rob Benton

I was not expecting this in Nebraska...I can enjoy ramen again! There are several gluten free choices and the broth tasted so rich and flavorful. I'm driving through this town and I wish there was a place like this in Denver.

Chris HAWKINSON

We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. My wife has Celiac and the have a very large gluten free menu. We live in Omaha but will make sure we visit even if we have to drive to Lincoln.

I recently purchased an e-gift for a belated birthday surprise. It was not received timely. Days later, I learn that I input an incorrect email address. Rachel G. worked patiently and professionally with me as she contacted corporate to fix the issue. This shop ALWAYS delivers amazing cookies and ice cream. The shop is clean and staff are super friendly and helpful. I am grateful to have access to delicious gluten free cookies for me and various tasty choices for other dietary needs.

Great BBQ place near downtown. A lot of meat options and great sides. They were also well aware of gluten free needs and changed gloves during the process. Please come support them!

Nicholas DeBord

Great food with some gluten free options.

Hello! I don’t have Facebook, so I can’t ask there. Do you have gluten free bread to encase your philly fixin’? If not, can I bring some and have you make it for me? I’m desperate for a good philly and I just heard about your shop.
