I saw a review from someone who ravied about their gluten free pizza! I was in Murfreesboro, setting up a booth at Painted Tree for my Tupperware business. I was delighted they also had dairy free cheese too. I was shocked, when I took my first bite! The pizza far exceeded my expectations! I was over the moon with every bite! I will be back!

Excellent gluten free pizza! The cauliflower crust was perfect. The toppings and cheese slid off a little bit, but the flavor was perfect on The Don. Loved the vodka sauce and the hot honey. Kaleb was a great server as well and made sure I was taken care of!

A favorite of my family, lots of good topping choices, everyone is always very inviting and seem to be in a good mood. They do a good job with gluten-free by changing gloves and putting something under the pizza while it’s cooking to reduce the chance of cross contamination.

We love to pop in when we want something light. BangBang shrimp is our favorite! And the servers and chef are well-versed of Gluten-Free diets and will accommodate you without hesitation.

We recently visited BJ’s Brewhouse in Murfreesboro with a party of 10. Beforehand, someone in our group was told there’d be no need for reservations—thankfully, I went ahead and made one anyway. That turned out to be a smart move, because we would’ve had a very different experience without it.
The restaurant itself was clean and the ambiance was fine—nothing particularly memorable, but comfortable enough. Unfortunately, the service and overall dining experience left a lot to be desired.
We waited quite a while before placing our orders, only to find out that one of the restaurant’s top menu items had run out. While that in itself isn’t a big issue, our server failed to mention this ahead of time, which would’ve saved time and hassle. For a party of 10, our orders were straightforward: everyone on separate tickets, one vegan guest, and one with a gluten allergy—both of whom knew exactly what they wanted. Still, the process was sluggish and disorganized.
Once the food arrived, several items were missing. We had to repeatedly ask for basics like condiments and drink refills. At one point, my sister was handed an empty A1 bottle and told, “I just shook it up,” which was both frustrating and dismissive. The food came out cold, and when we asked for it to be re-cooked, we waited nearly another hour.
Our server was largely absent during this time, and when the manager finally came over, she asked what I wanted them to do to make it right. I really would’ve appreciated a proactive suggestion instead of being asked to come up with the solution myself. At that point, it felt like the entire table needed their food remade, and the gesture of comping a single dessert—a “world famous” cookie—just didn’t make up for everything that had gone wrong.
Not to mention, the soap was out in the bathroom—and we saw servers going in and out of there. That made us wonder whether proper handwashing protocols were even being followed, which is a serious concern.
I understand restaurants have off days and that large groups can be challenging, but this experience made it clear that BJ’s is struggling to deliver basic service. While I appreciate the clean space and the attempt to make things right, this isn’t a place I’ll be returning to.

They’re firing on all cylinders over here. Their dark roast drip coffee is the most delicious in town IMO — on par with Brass Horn. So so good! My husband likes Starbucks (aka Charbucks) and I like clean and bright coffee, yet we both like their drip.
But wait, there’s more! They make all their baked goods **in house** using butter. So they’re fresh and delicious and have No seed oils! If you want to completely avoid seed oils, I talked to the chef, and that’s not a problem. Just request that your eggs be cooked in butter.
They also avoid nuts and have lots of gluten-free options. They’re love us!!!
I’ve tried the chocolate chip cookies and GF lemon poppyseed muffin, which are both excellent. My husband got the toastie sandwich, which is great. A nice option if you like something hearty but lighter: turkey bacon, eggs, and cheese on toasted sourdough.
The atmosphere is relaxed & welcoming with clever decor. This is my new favorite coffee shop!

I have tons of allergies and finding anything to eat is so hard. I used to love eating from this place and have missed it so much. My wife on a whim called to see if they had anything that was gluten and corn free. She spoke to the manager who literally made me a special meal. My favored thing the daddy’s Philly. This place replace the bun with lettuce and even checked to make sure I could have the amazing horseradish sauce and daddy’s sauce. It was amazing!

Very mixed experience. I'll start off with the good: the regular crepes were outstanding. Tasty, well presented, and loaded with toppings.
Strike one: We ordered sides of bacon. It was undercooked and cold. That would be inexcusable at a Waffle House, let alone a $20+ a plate "gourmet" breakfast spot. Strike two: My wife has a wheat allergy, and so, lots of experience with gluten free menu items. The gluten free version of the crepes was really underwhelming. Strike three: No part of whatever was served as maple syrup came from a maple tree.
At this price point, one expects perfection from the food. Well... nope.

The food tastes good, the staff are nice, they just dont understand cross contamination with food allergies. I don't fault them because I'm sure most people don't think about it. My 1 child and I are gluten free and have milk allergies. Everytime we have eaten here we have gotten sick which is likely cross contamination because my other child who can eat gluten and milk is completely fine. I don't fault the staff, nothing is malicious, just not a great location for people with food allergies.

This morning around 10:20AM my girlfriend and I were having breakfast here. My girlfriend unfortunately can't consume gluten. (Past injury, long hospital stay, caused GI damage, now she can't eat a lot of things, Gluten among them)
I remain unsure of where in the operation of this particular restaurant things didn't come together.. The server may not have rang in gluten free toast, maybe the kitchen just made a mistake, or maybe whoever was on expo that sent the other server to run our food just didn't notice..
Any of which are innocent enough; things happen, nobody is perfect, and generally speaking if the response to this situation is anything to the tune of "My bad, sorry, we made a mistake"...... That's good enough for us. Maybe swap the item out, enjoy the rest of the meal, take my money, and we will be on our way. Easy enough right?
Wrong.
Our server was great. She ran to grab her manager.
Here's where the problem began....
This guy comes over to our table, and just stands there in silence. The awkward silence felt like it lasted for an eternity, and he's just stood there staring at us. I kindly explained that they served her the wrong toast, and she noticed when she got three bites in and started feeling nauseous.
Then he utters something that I still cannot believe any manager when presented with such a situation would ever think to say; in no less than a condescending tone that I still cannot describe in words.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. And, what would you like me to do about that?"
I still can't believe I didn't raise my voice at him when he said that.
Somehow I went on to calmly explain that she had a few bites, and will now spend the entire afternoon sick.
After perhaps finally gaining some understanding of the situation he simply says, "Come see me up front when you're ready, and I'll take care of you."
Now in this moment, I think to myself that maybe I didn't communicate effectively at first, or maybe the server didn't explain to him what was up when she went to get him, or maybe there was some other reason that he could seem to care less.. I don't know. At any rate I was prepared to let it go.
So we walk up front with him, and I look in his hand and I can see a check for approximately $35 or so dollars.
When we get to the register, he boldface offers us a 20% discount.
Now if I was complaining about cold food or some other Karen-esque thing... Fine, give Karen a pacifier prize and move on with your day.
But you've actively done something that will factually cause someone injury, illness, and distress.
In the end after more conversation, he decided to comp our meal, but the whole way there this dude had a slack jawed, completely condescending, uncaring, and disrespectful demeanor, that was completely devoid of compassion or responsibility.
I've had a lot of perfectly acceptable experiences at this First Watch location, but my experience this morning was absolutely infuriating.
I can't believe I'm writing my first google review ever over a piece of toast.
Whoever owns this store should be ashamed of whoever hired this manager, because that's who is responsible for this.
If I allowed my customer facing employees and first line managers to behave like this, I find the prospect of me continuing to have a business would be dubious at best.
