BEST GF BREAD EVER!!! Unfortunately it is very expensive thought

Susanna

they support the queer community and their pastries are phenomenal, especially the lemon bars 😉

I went to Chicago on a road trip and came across this gem. Gave me and my party not just amazing service, but above and beyond service. They offer a bunch of gluten free options too, even asking before ordering to ensure its not a dietary or allergen concern for anyone in the group. Not necessary for our group, but a notable mention that stood out for those who might want that info. We were exhausted from a long day's exploration of the city and came in late at night to eat with someone in my party's craving for deep dish. Food was delicious and made fresh to order, the front of house team member was very attentive and gave us the best experience. Food was delicious, portions were more than (plenty for leftovers) and the presentation was beautifully done. We ended up stopping by again before we left the next day, with the same superb dine in meal from the team that morning. From our visits we got loaded fries, regular fries, buffalo wings, deep dish pizza (twice), fettuccine alfredo (twice), cheesy garlic bread and one of their gourmet toasted foccacia sandwiches. I can't speak highly enough of every bit of food we recieved. They deliver such quality ingredients and it shows. If you're in Chicago, this place is a must. I will definitely come back next trip.

An outrageously delicious & positive experience eating lunch here today. Mia took exceptionally good care of us – my mom is celiac, and was so thrilled with the level of attention and care she got. On top of that, the food was showstoppingly good! The chicken kebabs, falafel, hamachi and hummus were all 10/10.

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

We drive all the way from Lake Geneva, Wi (1.5 hours) to come here. I have celiac and their gluten free pizza is phenomenal. The true star of the show is the Eloté dip- you will be craving it for months after you have it! Whenever we’re in the area for a concert or trip, we make sure to stop. Highly recommend!! One of the best pizza places we have been to!

Good GF buns!

Aitor Novo

Be careful if you have a food allergy. I am celiac, asked for gluten free fish and chips, but I got food contamination. It made me vomit shortly after finishing.

Sarah W

Dedicated GF restaurant with the best bowls! I love the fan favorite.

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

Wayne Partington

Fabulous gem of a restaurant in the Fulton Market area. Croatian theme cuisine and excellent cocktails. Great vib. Shrimp scampi, charred green beans, risotto with carrots, pork ribs and branzino were amazing! Gluten free and egg free menus also.

Morgan Rodgers

Monica Dempsey

Amazing- modern restaurant and attentive service. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options, and filling portions. The crispy potatoes deserve special mention- my group will be returning to try everything on the menu.

Liv G

Very cautious with allergies. Fries made in dedicated fryer. Gluten free bun or lettuce wrap available.

Sarah Lisy

I've never been to a gluten-free restaurant before. We went with family for brunch. Since 2 of our party are gluten-free, it was great not to try to find something you can have and still worry about cross contamination. Their waffles are funnel cakes...so good.

Michael Baron

Rice noodles and knowledgeable on gluten free broth and other items

C. Lor

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Taylor Nicole

smack dab is one of my new favorite breakfast spots! staff was so kind and friendly which made the experience that much better. as a gluten free girly breakfast sandwiches are hard to find in the city and they have two different kinds of gluten free bread that is amazing!!! love that they are so gluten free and dietary restriction friendly. will def be on my regular rotation now :)

Rachael Blanton

A great place to visit if you’re gluten free! Very accommodating!

R OC

We wanted something quick and easy close to our hotel. We found food revival, an indoor food court. I chose art of Dosa, where everything is gluten free and vegan and absolutely delicous! Server was so helpful and made suggestions. I chose the Buffalo Dosa and it came with the greatest spicy sauce.

Anna Keller

Ingrained is my favorite gluten free bakery in the city! I’ve never tried anything I didn’t love. All of the ingredients are so fresh and you can tell everything is made with love!

Stephon Berry

Enjoyed the Nadine, just substituted the pepperoni for chicken and my partner had a gluten free pesto chicken pizza. All in all a good dinner. I'd recommend for those with disposable income as it's not cheap, but it's not exorbitantly expensive. A single small pizza in enough to fill one person

Caitlin McAllister

Best gluten free dining experience I ever had

Jazmin Saban

Excellent place, great option if you have any dietary restrictions, it is all dairy free, gluten free, I loved it! I recommend

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem

Peter Basile Jr.

Great location/ambiance, great food, & great service! The fries & their sauces are off the charts delicious! Plenty of Gluten free options!

Lydia Munroe

My partner had the burger and got violently ill later in the evening - horrible vomiting. We called to let them know and ask for a potential refund or some remedy and haven’t heard back yet although it’s been three days. I also ordered salmon that was marked as being gluten free, but was served with wheat berries. I’m not celiac thankfully so I just picked around them, but that seems like a huge menu oversight. Our server was pleasant, but management doesn’t seem to care about their customer’s health.

Kay S

Stopped by here for a late lunch after a quick search for gluten free options in the area. So glad I did! Service was prompt and the staff member working the counter was super nice and helpful. Lots of great options, clean dining area and restroom, I will be coming back.

Emily Theis

Uvae is a gem. Love the happy hour oysters and bubbly. Some favorite dishes are the charcuterie board (the lavender honey!), brussel sprouts, cauliflower, scallops, shrimp + grits, chicken thigh... honestly we've liked everything! Cocktails are balanced and creative. Emma is a wonderful, personable server with top-notch wine recommendations, and was very accommodating to a gluten-free family member. I really appreciate that they have a few mocktails on the menu too. Chef Whitney is thoughtful, talented, and doing super cool things: last night we had a beet hummus plate with veggies and sesame tapioca crisps. It looked like an art piece and tasted like heaven; we were scraping our plates. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious. Go spend your money here!

Japanese BBQ spot with a separate GF menu and GF soy sauce!

Liv G

Arepas are gluten free and delicious

Rango Me

ASA WAS AMAZING!!! Catered to our gluten allergy!!! He was so attentive and kind will definitely come bavk

Michael A.

Stopped in for weekend brunch . They do a really good job with the offerings and selection of items for brunch . Impressed to see they had a gluten free only menu as well ! I decided to go with a sandwich option . They have a spicy Calabrian chili turkey sandwich with bacon and avocado on a ciabatta style bread that was delicious . Big portion too . If you get the fries as I did , make sure you add on the truffle aioli ! It goes so well with everything. Service was good and attentive . We had a reservation and glad we did as it did appear to fill up very quickly We will definitely be back here

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Mariah Schultz

Sunda Lunch Catering was great. Our group liked the Chicken, Tofu and LOVED the Pad Thai. Our Vegan/Gluten-Free guest appreciated all the options available including the individual salad. The delivery order drop off was smooth. Sam was super helpful and made sure to check in with me every step of the way ensuring our order was correct and set-up the way we wanted. Thank you again (Nicole) for all your help with coordinating! I will definitely keep Sunda in mind for future staff events.

Sarah W

Great GF pizza! Authentic Chicago food - a must visit. They cook it on a separate tray and do not cut it to avoid cross contact

Frank Weigel

Really loved that our server was very familiar with celiacs and could steer my wife.

Allison Jones

Gluten free options are great. I've eaten here twice and haven't been sick. GF food comes out with marker. Symptomic Celiac

Lucy Fiorito

Great food and I’ve never gotten a reaction from it

Liv G

More than half the menu is gluten free. They use separate fryers and prep space for the gluten free items. Everything is vegan. Soy free options too. Very yummy!!

Christin King

Visting from out of town and we have Celiac. Stopped in to try the gluten-free deep dish pizza. Ordered that and the Malnati Salad. Pizza was actually delicious, crust held up well and salad was amazing.

Brandon

Great gluten free options! Went to the bar late and it was amazing

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Kassie

Celiac friendly! 99% gluten free. Separate fryers!

F Johnson

If you're gluten-free, they have options for you! I had the gluten-free deep dish, which was one of the better gluten-free pizza crusts I've had, but the filling was the star! I had the classic and added the spinach mix. It's very tasty, and I highly recommend it. You will need to bring your patience, as there made be a long wait for a table, even with a reservation, and you could wait about 30 minutes for your food to be prepared.

Frank Gengo

I'm neither vegan nor gluten-free, and I thought that oreo ganache cake was good as hell
