Chicken tacos but are lots of options

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!

Great food & service! I cannot eat gluten due to allergies & Veronica was very helpful & patient. We will come back here again for sure!

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!

Loved this place! Such a fun treat. It’s like my two favorite worlds collided in this modern and charming little place. Flights and cupcakes…such a great idea. Our server gave us a thorough description of each glass and each cupcake. All flavors were excellent. (There are thoughtful diet and taste considerations like gluten free cupcakes and beer on draft.) I will be going back!

Great place, great food, great gluten free 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.

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.

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

Team Molina

The food was amazing! Thankful for the gluten free options and pleasantly surprised the gf buns were super tasty! We will be back!

Monica Leitzel

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 immediately liked seeing the vegan and gluten free options on the menu, I lean towards and love these places that are concerned with fusing their cuisine and offering variety for each different taste, each dish that I decided to try was loaded with flavors and good portions, it gives It's a pleasure to pay for a visit to a place that knows how to serve demanding palates well.

Courtney Mayo

Excellent local restaurant and delicious food. Lots of gluten free options as well. Everything we’ve tried is wonderful and the owner and staff are super friendly and great (our favs are Roberto and Leah!). We come nearly every week because we love it. Highly recommend!

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

Karen Hunter

The food and the service were excellent! The chimichurri was outstanding! I was also very impressed with the number of gluten-free entrees on the menu. This makes it so much easier on my gluten-free family members. We will definitely return to this restaurant!
