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

Veggie staple! I love the new menu changes! I have been eating here for at least 13 years and I am thrilled to have newer options. Love all the gluten free options now too, especially that new cheesecake. So nice to see a little menu revamp while keeping the favs. Well done! - also their delivery travels/holds up a lot better than most, so that's a plus.

Order through Uber eats and there was a mix up with the order. I called and they worked with me to fix the situation and even threw in another item on the house. Great customer service! Then once we got the food it was also great! We ordered 2 pizzas gluten free due to dietary restrictions and it was excellent! A nice fluffy crust with a crispy bottom. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food. Most of their menu is customizable so you can make it vegetarian or vegan. My spouse has Celiac’s and they were super careful and accommodating. Every time someone comes to visit me I make sure to bring them. Their Huevos Volando is a dream come true, as have been their chai, coffee, lemonades, and everything there we’ve tasted.

Always a great energy & environment. Their patio on a nice day is awesome. I’ve had dinner here multiple times and it’s always great. We recently had brunch and it was delicious. They have limited vegetarian/gluten free options but are willing to omit ingredients when needed.

Where do we begin? We went with West Town Bakery for our wedding cake because my wife has a dairy allergy, so we needed a vegan cake. We are excited to find West Town because there are very few places in Chicago with vegan wedding cake options that aren't also gluten-free. However, working with West Town was very disappointing. First off, when we went to taste test the cake options, not all of the promised vegan options were available (despite ordering these options in advanced). However, we were able to make a selection we liked based on what they had available at the time. Second, when we decided on our flavor options and wanted to learn more about their wedding cake ordering process, we had the unfortunate experience of working with the most inept employee we'd ever encountered. He didn't know half the answers to our basic questions like how far in advance should we pay and if sheet cakes were an option (despite supposedly working in the cake department) and then sent us a invoice that had our cake and payment details totally wrong. We had to send him a corrected invoice before we were comfortable paying the reservation fee. If we had any other options for a vegan wedding cake, we would have changed cake vendors at this point, trust us. Thankfully, a few days later, that employee left West Town Bakery, and we were paired with a far more competent employee. And we naively thought things would improve. Unfortunately, when we went to update our cake order based on our final guest count (before the final changes deadline in our contract with West Town) they again sent us a contract/invoice with incorrect wedding cake details (no note about the cake needing to be vegan) and wildly incorrect payment due dates. We again sent them a corrected invoice and got assurances that the cake order was updated and would be correct! Then comes the wedding day. Not only was the cake delivered one hour late, but they also delivered the wrong order. They did not update our wedding cake order for the accurate number of guests despite having confirmed that they would. This resulted in us having a much smaller display cake than we requested and paid for and much more sheet cake that we did not need! The only reason they are getting 2 stars is because the cake actually tasted good and my wife didn't have an allergic reaction, so we guess it was at least dairy free.

Wonderful neighborhood brunch restaurant! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. They were very mindful of food allergies and offer gluten free bread too!

My friend and I came here to eat brunch, it took us a while to find the entrance because it was hidden. But it’s not that bad because it’s super easy to locate once you walk inside. When we got in, we were greeted by staff and got to our table really quickly. The service was pretty fast and nice. One of the servers was even telling us jokes, which was super sweet of them. The waiter is also knowledgeable about the menu (my friend has a gluten free diet), so he was able to help my friend find a gluten free option. The food was super good, I really loved the French toast and the portion they give is big as well. Definitely a good atmosphere to the area and loved it a lot.

Delicious and creative menu in great atmosphere. We celebrated our anniversary here and had an amazing experience. The chefs were attentive and even accommodated gluten sensitivity by making a gluten free version of every dish that tasted just like the original

Luis Valentin

Is it possible to do the gator bites gluten free asking for a friend.

Carlos Díaz Martínez

Fast, friendly, very good breakfasts, hot and delicious coffee. The best breakfast in the area. There are many gluten-free dishes.

We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and left wowed by the execution of elements of a fine dining experience that aren’t as easy to find anymore. First of all, the service was impeccable. The staff was courteous, timely and attentive- especially Yaseen! Now let’s talk about the food- the presentation, the flavors, the unique pairings and the ample seafood and gluten free options made me a very happy customer. I will most definitely be coming back here again! Thank you Brasero for making our celebration memorable!

Fry The Coop one of the best chicken sandwich shops in Illinois, their sandwiches are ridiculously spicy! 🥰 Ghost pepper is the main spice in their “Hot” heat level😍 They serve 100% Halal certified chicken to deliver the best product possible💕 They offer a 5.5 ounces fries, which is equivalent to a larger fry. And they do event catering! Also you can customize your order 🤍 They have a secret menu item called the Veggie Sandwich and it is amazing too! It has fries, coleslaw, cheese, pickles, mild rub, and coop sauce on a toasted brioche bun. Their fries, Coleslaw, and Potato Salad are gluten free🤤 They have different locations in Chicago & Burbs🤍🤍
