100% safe and delicious. They also have a great price for ordering wedding cake

The a waitress was amazing but that’s about it after we placed our order we almost left .. my husband had bariatric surgery they wouldn’t let him order off the kids menu, I am gluten free and had a hard time finding options so I ended up with just a side of chicken .. my husband got chicken fingers that didn’t come until we were done eating they did comp for that so I will be thankful and they gave my son an ice cream sorry just overall won’t go back proof Is right across the way and way better

Have eaten there plenty of times with no issues. They have a separate fryer for fries and tots. They take GF seriously.

If you have a friend who is vegan or vegetarian, but you're not, definitely take them here. Excellent food. I tried a little bit of several dishes. I was impressed with all except the pickles, but I am not a pickle person anyway. I highly recommend the Peruvian Beef dish, the gluten free Mac and cheese, the broccoli side, and the falafel wrap.

Jacque Revis

Never had this kind of flavor.. wine soaked onions and wonderful Angus burger. I got a gluten free bun and it was so amazing. Scratch based kitchen made everything amazing. Gotta try!

Ella Weiss

I LOVE this place...they have the best burgers and fries!! The wheat free buns are fantastic...Im celiac and can't have any wheat/oats...I've never had cross contamination problems at Graze. I also can't eat any dairy and about 30 other foods...they are good about making sure my burger has no cheese and no Graze sauce.

Their veggie burger is very good and I’m obsessed with their farm salad. However, their gf bun is not very good. i just had to remove the bun entirely and wrap in the lettuce. Its nice they have the option though, so ant least why made an effort to accommodate gluten sensitivity. Also my most recent order was to-go and I paid $6 for a side of fries and i assumed that would be enough for two people, but it was an individual serving? Maybe they put the wrong size fry in our order? Overall good service, but there is room for improvement

Clint Nelson

We go almost every weekend. Gotta love the big biscuits that are delicious. Also some Gluten free options for several menu items.

Robert Stevenson

Love the gluten-free options.

Hilda O'Dell

The food is delicious. I appreciate the gluten-free substitutions. When we place our order, we request fries to start with since they are bottomless. Nine times out of 10, we don't get them before our meal comes out, even though we are told we will. We don't have that issue at other locations outside of Tucson. The customer service is a hit-or-miss, depending on the server.

Kyle Russell

Be careful coming here with a gluten allergy. Although we made it explicitly clear this is a life threatening allergy this situation was handled with no care. This pancake was very clearly not the one I ordered but the waitress insisted I eat it until 5 minutes later she takes it back and doesn’t even say a word, and guess what. I still got cross contaminated and am sick from this food. Absolutely terrible place I wish I never came.

Paola Velo

I ordered at the drive thru and there was a big line but it was moving really fast. I waited no more than 5 minutes. Service was great, very nice employees and food was delicious. The protein style is great for gluten free diet and more healthy.

Chris Durnan

Ate it so fast didn't grab a photo. But absolutely delish. One of our favorite weekend breakfast stops when we're near by. I love the gluten free omelette. The smoked tomato has the perfect extra flavor. It's absolutely yum. I tend to stick to one item once I find it, but my husband has tried many different offerings and never a complaint. Highly recommend stop by and take a try. Not sure the bloody Marys are gluten free, but I drool every time one walks by the table. Give it a try.

Celica friendly

Ryan Stigleman

Pretty good burger. Nothing crazy good like Freddy's, but way better than a lot of chains. The reason this place stands out is the gluten free buns. They warm them up in the wrapper and they get soft and warm. It's pretty awesome to have it that way.

Rebecca Martz

Amazing first experience at Fleming's. They've got a slew of Gluten Free options, and even a separate menu. The petite filet was phenomenal, asparagus and mushrooms super tasty and Joe, our waiter, was absolutely kind and just wonderful! I'd be happy to go back some day!

I can't help but give top marks across the board. Great food, great service, and a clean restaurant. Most importantly for me, personally, this establishment is trained from front to back on gluten allergies. Only my daughter has this issue and she's quite sensitive to gluten contamination. She loved her lettuce-bun cheeseburger, fries and milkshake so very much. She had no issues with the food she enjoyed. As a parent with this rare issue, In & Out came through. It is one of the few places we can dine as a family. 10/10 we will be back, a lot.

Brianna Lark

If you let them know your gluten free they make extra care to not cross contaminate and they also will let you know you can pretty much modify majority of the menu to fit gluten free!

The absolute SLOWEST SERVICE EVER. We've given Hot Rod's many tries. The food is great and offers gluten-free options which is important to us but the service is the absolute slowest you'll ever be met with. Just today, we went in at 12:30. There was nobody up front to seat us. We waited several minutes. I saw an employee standing in a corner in the front area kitchen. I couldn't tell what she was doing. After some time, I asked "Should we seat ourselves?" this surprised the woman who quickly looked up and I was then able to see that she was on her phone this entire time. She agreed to us seating ourselves and then brought us menus. She said that she'd be right back to take our drink order. The rest of our party joined us, we waited for quite some time. There were only 2 other occupied tables. The woman never came out to take our drink order so we left. While walking out, we saw the same woman who said that she'd be back to obtain our drink order. The woman was right back in the same corner she was when we first walked in, on her cell phone. This is not the first time that we've been met with this type of service and waiting an extensive time to just be acknowledged and seated at a table. Hot Rods is NEVER busy. Often times, there is nobody in the dining room when we've visited. If there is anyone there, it's never no more than 2 tables. Having worked in the Restaurant business, there is NO excuse for such poor service. It's quite a shame that Hot Rods still refuses to get it together in the service department because their food and atmosphere is not bad at all.

Great restaurant close to Albertsons and my dry cleaners. Perfect stop after errands. Everyone seems to love it too, very crowded and well staffed. Lots of gluten-free and dairy-free options to choose from on the menu. I'm going back and sit out on the patio in the shade and soak up the vibes.

james Herrmann

Good service and food. They need more gluten free options.

Michael Pfirrman

We used to go here with our daughter when she lived in town, but hadn't been there again until recently. The manager, server, and food were good with the exception of the change in the Gluten Free bun recently to Against the Grain, which has dairy and is like a brick. Please change back to something that isn't so hard and doesn't have dairy in it!!

P H

The grilled chicken sandwich with the gluten free bun was amazing!

Meli Sandell

There are a surprising amount of gluten free options. The skillets, burgers, steak, and salmon! I love the milk shakes and they verify when you say GF. Fries are safe!

Larissa Sandvik

We love going here. It’s fun to go, eat with the family and play a bunch of games. The portions are small for how expensive it is and they don’t have any gluten free markings or a gluten free menu. Overall, it’s good.

Noreen Light

Clean, quick, tasty. Friendly staff. Protein wrap burger (wrapped in iceberg lettuce leaves) provides a gluten-free option. Best french fries!

John Mueller

Great throwback atmosphere. Excellent diner food. Gluten free options available. Professional, friendly wait staff.

jerry sysourath

Was very suprised they have a gluten sensitive menu

horse thief

Margarita was our server and was very considerate of our dietary needs! The food came out well for a Denny's especially. The gluten free english muffin was a nice option

Lauryn

Food here is amazing and the restaurant is so cute. Love coming here, they were gluten free friendly and knowledgeable about what was not gluten free

azeducator 44

Excellent atmosphere, food, and service. We went at about 10:30 am on a Saturday so they had a brunch menu. Lots of gluten free options and they will make amazing salsa at your table to your specifications (tip the salsa maker!). The frozen mango margarita was terrific!

Toni Murbach

I eat Gluten free so it's always nice to have options. They made my burger protein wrap style and it was delicious. Also, they have real lemonade sweetened with Stevia but I had their unsweetened Lipton ice tea. Will try the lemonade next time.

In the heart of Old Town Tucson, in its most atmospheric area, this is one of the most unique restaurants we have visited in this city. The timeless décor of yesteryear, fused with its woodgrain façade, it is simplicity in itself, yet alluring in nature, encapsulating soul of and feel of the old, with an iconic clash between chic and classic and new. And the eats, well, they’re almost if not as unique as the atmosphere. From some exceptionally fine wines and cocktails, and entrees worthy of gluten haters, vegans, and vegetarians, as well as meat lovers such as I. From Pâté De Campagne to Smoked Whitefish Rillettes, or from Angus Beef Tartare to Wild Boar Birria Bucatini, there is bound to be something here for everyone, regardless of predilections. This relaxing, quaint, and comfortable locale is easy on your wellbeing, relaxing and comfortable, superbly serviced and by any means considered incredible eatables! The food is terrifically prepared, served and devoured. A must visit while in Tucson… and if you are a local, lucky you.

Perfect ribs with beans and potato salad split plate. Some veggie and beef soup, one gluten free ace guava cider and a wild berry cobbler sour. Nice outing with the fam.

Mark Classen

I am attempting to "eat clean" (natural ingredients, no added sugar, no gluten, etc) after a lot of years not (it finally caught up to me). Nook is the only place downtown that has multiple possibilities to work in an anti-candita diet (think a diet for a lactose intolerant diabetic with chrones and you would be close) and still make it GOOD. Great find for lunch in Tucson

Ally Coppell

Great service! Our server was attentive and friendly. The food came out efficiently and the pricing was incredibly reasonable for the large portions! I was very happy there were gluten free options too.

yolanda escoboza

I enjoyed the new atmosphere welcome Diner . my son was with me and he also enjoyed it. the meal was great , they have some dishes that are regular some dishes that are vegan and gluten-free we enjoyed it so much that we will end up going back. I do recommend it highly

Rea Phillips

Fast service and great food. We are gluten free and the protein burgers were perfect for us.

Jerry Johannes

It's a predominantly breakfast place, but a great lunch place, too! I got the brisket breakfast enchiladas and they were so tasty! My server even asked if there were any food allergies, and when I said gluten free, she recommended a different sauce on my dish. If I lived in Tucson, I'd make a regular stop at this place.

Lee J Jones

For first time diners, use the Yelp reservation system, otherwise the wait will likely be over 60 minutes (but worth it). Excellent food (we hadnfries to start and The Parish Burger with a Dragoon IPA and the Winter Surf & Turf), fantastic table service, and good ambiance. Gluten Free options clearly marked and the staff understand allergies. No issues with the service dog. We'll definitely be back.

Patrick Dunlop

Beautiful restaurant setup, with a great view of the interior courtyard of the resort, with a stunning backdrop of Push Ridge. Javier, our server, was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The food was pretty good, I would not hesitate to dine here, especially if you are staying in the resort. While the Queso Fundido draws you in, I would pass, it's just a glorified chip and queso dip, and order the Sishito Peppers, trust me! The Veggie Enchiladas are rolled tacos, but the corn tortillas are gluten free and the flavor is delicious! Highly recommend the Churro Dulce De Leche tacos, they are a must! You will definitely enjoy your experience, and plan to dinner on the patio, if the weather cooperates!
