Gluten free options that are really good! Everything we have had is really good.

They hype was real! Typically Im not a fan of order at the counter type places, but I’m willing to get over it for this place. I had the chicken kebab bowl and of course had the Mac n’ Cheese because that’s all I’ve been hearing I about. Everything was amazing, and I cannot believe how good the Mac n’ Cheese is for being gluten free.

Unfortunately, I placed an order originally a few days ago. The gluten-free bun was as hard as a rock and they included hash on my sweet potatoes today I picked up the replacement order and I let her know what all was on there. It included things that I did not say I wanted it on my sandwich. I have irritable bowel to where I am not able to tolerate some things and I specifically told her the items I want there. I did not get to receive a replacement order tonight again because they were closed and now I’m without a meal for tonight. No one wants to throw away $27 worth of food that they paid for. I am disappointed in the customer service and the blame. She tried to put on me for something that she did as in the manager.

Im visiting my family from out of town, had an amazing experience at this location! Both my mom and I are extremely symptomatic celiac. Our server, Anita took such care to ensure that all our concerns were very clearly addressed and the manger even came over to check in on us and gave us extra treats. I’ve never been so confident and felt so comfortable and safe eating out before. Will definitely return again next time I visit. Thank you so much!

The woman who greeted my family at the door, Isabel, was so helpful! My Mom is gluten free and she let us know her options!

To sum up this place: it's an upscale cafeteria. And in this instance, that’s a good thing. They serve quality food in a non-pretentious, yet slightly pretentious way. What do I mean? Let me break it down. For starters, you seat yourself in a dining environment that offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor dining area is lined with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The chairs and tables are slightly upscale, with wood accents, as opposed to the plastic seating you’d find in a traditional cafeteria. The outdoor patio mimics the indoors, with plenty of gas warmers and a modern-style accent fireplace wall. Again, not pretentious, but pretentious. The food menu is what you’d expect from any slightly upscale dining spot. The options are large and plentiful, but not so much so that it’s overwhelming (aka The Cheesecake Factory). Items like chorizo queso, lobster tostada, and truffle mac & cheese make up the appetizers (they call them "Beginnings" here). Blackened redfish, beef & lamb bolognese, and fried chicken & waffles are just a few of the "Kitchen Plates." They stick with the cafeteria theme in concept, but the offerings could just as easily be found on a fine dining menu in an upscale restaurant. Add a full wine menu, craft beers, specialty burgers with a gluten-free bread option, and you start to really understand this place. I had the build-your-own plate option, which included black pepper salmon with chipotle butter, steamed broccoli, and a mixed greens side salad splashed with what I assumed was balsamic vinaigrette dressing. A Shiner Blonde Light from the ice trough topped it off nicely. My take: I would definitely go back. We went for lunch, but I'm eager to try the breakfast offerings. This is the place you go when you're in your daytime best casualwear, want to grab some great food, and still catch a good buzz. No waiters constantly asking if you need anything. Just an eclectic crowd of both business folks working on laptops and suburban Houstonians enjoying their day in The Woodlands.

Really love going to this place. It's one of the few places I know I can eat at, and not have issues. (I have food intolerances, so I have to be picky). I will say this, though, it would be really awesome if they had gluten-free buns and not just the protein option. But other than that I really like their food and it's very affordable.

I was visiting the woodlands today with a friend. We stopped in for lunch. I informed the young man serving us today that I have celiac disease. Without a beat, he took his gloves off, went over and washed his hands, and put fresh gloves on and proceeded to serve me all the way down the line so that no one else touched my food. He also made sure to look over the list to make sure that I didn’t get any food that contained gluten. This young man needs a raise!

We ordered take-out, and unfortunately, the chicken was overcooked to the point of being inedible – too chewy; we couldn't eat it. While the sides were tasty, the gluten-free strawberry shortcake was dry and didn’t seem fresh. I still ate the cake because I was excited to have a gluten free dessert.

Katy Wilson

We had a wonderful lunch here! The kabobs were delicious and service was excellent! Also, they have gluten free options on the menu! Highly recommend.

I went to this restaurant based on the available reviews. I explained I couldn’t eat gluten (I’m Celiac) and they provided information on their dishes. They explained which dishes were safe, provided details about their fryers and informed that my meal would be prepared on a separate grill. I felt confident that I was going to have a great experience and I sure did!

I really love the restaurant and its location, but I wish there would be more gluten free options.
