Had girls day brunch and it was fantastic! The mimosas were delicious! Get the chicken egg rolls best food item, didn't get a pic we dived in so quick! Juan was our waiter shout out to him he was amazing! He gave great recommendations, explained the menu for a friend with gluten issues and we didn't have empty cups!

The food was good, they gave some gluten free options and that was nice. The theme is cute and the server/hostess were awesome!

I'm not sure what is going on at this Abuelos. This used to be our go-to Mexican restaurant. The food is really good, but now I don't think they know their menu. It looks like new staff here. If so, they need to retrain quickly, or they are going to lose customers like us fast. I ordered the Tamale meal with the toppings cause I told them im not gluten sensitive, so put all the goodies on top, my two sides charro beans and papas con chille ( mashed potatoes with cheese basically). We also ordered chicken fajita with charro beans and Mexican rice. They bring our food chicken fajitas, all the dishes that come with that, and my Tamal....? The server comes ask if everything is ok...ummm no I ordered tamales, and I get 3 taquitos put on a 3 corn husks with the papas con chille and refried beans. Yes, those are our new tamales, she told me and said she can get more if I don't think it's enough you know let me get the manager for you. The manager even comes over and confirms that we have some new tamales, and we will be more than happy to give you more no charge. Ok, ummm, and is this your charro beans? Yes, those are our charro beans. These are refried beans that are not smashed. No, those are charro beans. I'm looking at my meal dumbfounded that they will pass taquitos as tamales and now refried beans as charro beans. No, I think we're going to go. Probably wait a year or two before going back. Maybe by then, they will have their food labeled correctly to where the customer will get exactly what they ordered. Both server and manager were polite and respectful and nice about this, but to tell me a taquitos or it could have been a flautas, but they never had flautas at Abuelos before, so going with taquitos as tamales really, ok good luck with that. One actually two disappointed customers.

They just changed their menu earlier this week. They have a gluten free English muffin so I ordered a double cheeseburger on a grilled muffin with extra crispy ff.Rachel the cook made it perfect, it really hit the craving. It wasn't your run of the mill patties it looked hand crafted big thick, juicy. White cheddar cheese.Lettuce,tom,pickle.Service was great too, friendly.I will be back to try other things.I wish they had gluten free pancakes.

Mariah was our server on 2/2/2024 - she gave us great service & was very friendly. Good sense of humor and kept up on every drink and any requests we had. Good food every time, with clearly marked choices for gluten free options! Loved the music choices that were playing.

This is a great place to eat if you don't need alternative foods. I wish they had gluten free options.

I picked this place for lunch because my mom has a gluten allergy. Their menu Is fantastic for people who can't eat gluten and for those who can. I'll be going here again soon

Casual spot in a shopping/eating village setting. Great Argentinian strip steak with chimmichurri! Gluten free options on the menu. Small meals to full dinners offered. Reasonably priced but be aware...good Angus steak is a bit more than a hamburger! The dinner was about $37.00- steak potato and vegetable( happened to be delicious herbed string beans). The gluton free meal was a salmon dinner with veggies and roasted potatoes. Chicken Milanese...also very good.

Cindy Turner

Such amazing food. A lot of gluten-free choices, if you just have a sensitivity to it. I don't know about their efforts to keep from cross-contamination( for people with Celiac )

Pat Coe

Jeanine was dope! Went out of her way to accommodate my gluten allergy

They have gluten free buns which is a plus. With fries and a small ice cream, it was enough for us.

Lovely view of the lake, Mostly outdoor seating and offering large sandwiches, lots of salads, soups and luscious desserts! They understand gluten intolerance and service was prompt and accurate. The restaurant is around behind the Magnolia Center. Park in front of the center and walk around. There is a lovely formal garden right next door! Don't miss it! Free and a decent size to walk...did I mention FREE? Wish they offered gluten free bread... Recommend!
