Holy smokes, Batman! As someone who often struggles to find great food options (especially gluten-free), Irregardless blew me away. Our waitress—whose name I regretfully forgot, and it’s not on my receipt—was phenomenal. I told her I was torn between a few choices, and she confidently recommended the Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich (GF). Honestly? One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in over 12 years. Crispy, flavorful, and totally worth the hype. 🌱 They accommodate a ton of dietary restrictions. 🍽️ Portion sizes? Generous. 🌿 Food? Incredibly fresh and delicious. 🏡 Location? Adorable. 🚗 Parking? A bit tricky, but it’s the only “meh” part. 🪑 Inside? Cozy, charming, and quiet enough to actually enjoy a conversation. If you’re in Raleigh and want something amazing, run—don’t walk—to Irregardless.

English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

I hired Neomonde to cater two back-to-back parties I was hosting this June (for 75 and 25 people, respectively.) I chose them because I have always liked their food and they were recommended by a friend whose event Neomonde catered back in 2020. Neomonde did an excellent job, and they will be my go-to caterer if I need one in the future. First (and no surprise) the food was excellent and my guests raved about it. The buffet presentation was lovely too. In addition, the catering manager Saida was a delight to work with, and made everything as easy as possible for me. This included suggesting great options on a tasting menu, helping me figure out how much food to order, answering my many questions about logistics (ice, buffet space and set up, how much wine/beer to have, sustainable utensils, gluten-free options, etc etc etc), and managing the set up and tear down of the buffet and packaging all the leftovers for me (yum.) Saida’s support was especially helpful to me as I had never hosted events of that size or complexity before. I highly recommend Neomonde!

This Mellow has a 70s disco theme. It was dark but so many bright colors. The food was delicous as always, and their gluten-free crust is always a hit for my daughter. Service was good, slow at times, but that is because it was between busy hours and servers get distracted as new employees come in. Young being young.

Amazing gluten free food and service! We always love the calamari and split the entree.

Very good burgers, with gluten free options both for buns and for sides. The medium rare beef burger just melts in your mouth, and the gluten free chicken tenders and tater tots are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The wait is also quick, we've been here twice and got our food within 10 minutes. We ate our food before I could remember to take photos, so here's the clean plate club. They also have a rewards club that offers free burgers and such, if you like app/rewards clubs.

Authentic neighborhood café, has great down-home cooking, including all-day breakfast. Lots of gluten-free options. Service is outstanding!

Yikes. Don’t even know where to start. Long story short - don’t come here. We waited over an hour and a half for our food and after that we walked out. Never typically leave reviews for restaurants but this was an exception because it was so bad. I mean the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. We kept getting different excuses from the waiter and the manager. At one point it was that “gluten free pizza takes longer” (which has never been a hold up in the past at Mellow), another time it was “the kitchen made your orders wrong,” and the third time it was “the kitchen lost your ticket and your order hasn’t been made.” After over an hour and a half of waiting and the server asking us our order again and getting the order wrong on the ticket, we decided to leave. Manager and waiter never seemed to care that we had been waiting over an hour and a half, there was no sympathy or apologies, and they were rude. Exceptionally bad customer service. Other tables were waiting for their food and the food pick up section had a large amount of people waiting a long time too. So don’t count on pick up being timely either. Understand delays can happen because of staff shortage and busy hours, but the restaurant was half empty and tons of servers standing around. None of our group will be coming back. Highly recommend you don’t go here or if you really want Mellow Mushroom to visit the Cary or Durham location.

I’m a vegetarian, and the main menu has almost no meat-free dishes—but Winston’s actually is vegetarian friendly as long as you say something to the waiter. They have a complete alternative menu available: the front lists vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the back has gluten-free dishes. I can’t speak to the gluten-free options, but the vegan and vegetarian choices are excellent!

The best grits and eggs I've had in years. I also loved the gluten-free waffle. But what I loved most is the premise behind this place.

Amy Reeder

10/10 recommend!!! The food was so good and the staff was exceptionally friendly! I have a gluten intolerance and they were so knowledgeable and accommodating!!

Ashlie Collins

Gluten free fryer, gluten free buns or lettuce option. Variety of GF sauces and toppings. Knowledgeable staff and protocols - have always loved it here and so excited I can keep coming post Celiac diagnosis!

Sierra Johnson

Gluten free burger for take out was great! Fast service, easy online ordering process!

Love this place! It’s a perfect spot of girl’s night. You can sit with your friends and leisurely enjoy a great night of food and drinks. One of my friends was also gluten free and they were very diligent on making sure nothing got cross contaminated for her.

Decent cappuccino and breakfast sandwich with gluten free bread was great! Service was very fast! Went in on a Tuesday around 830am. Place was very busy, all tables full, four or five people ahead of me in line and others waiting for orders, and I was still in and out in less than 10 minutes. They had counterculture and black and white coffee available. Roast dates on available whole bean coffee bags were within a week.

Has gluten free options and fries are cooked in a separate frier my favorite gluten free sandwich.

Decent place to eat, a good number of options, and they have gluten free options.

Went here for the first time and wasn’t expecting much but it was GREAT. My spouse is Italian and very picky and also enjoyed it. We’ve tried lots of Italian places in Raleigh area and this is the best. Excited to bring my friends with dietary needs here as well because apparently they also have gluten free options I’m very picky about my Alfredo (for some reason most restaurants have such bland Alfredo) but their Cajun pasta with Alfredo was very flavorful. The penne vodka is their most popular dish for good reason and also very flavorful. I also enjoyed their steak and cheese during lunch

I'm gluten free so I tried a chicken bowl. The chicken seemed like ground chicken. I was expecting chunks of chicken breast.

Overall, good breakfast spot, with nice selection and good staff. BUT, if pancakes are your thing for breakfast, go somewhere else. The pancakes are tougher than a thick leather belt. I imagine they stir the batter with every single order that goes on the griddle so, by 9am, its just a mass of rubbery gluten. Bring sharp teeth and a steak knife for the pancakes.

I was so happy with my experience at Jersey Mikes this past weekend. I have celiac and usually steer clear of sandwich places. I’m so glad I went for it at this location! The person making the sandwich cleaned off all the breadcrumbs, the meat slicer, and made sure there wasn’t any contamination. I absolutely appreciate the time and thoughtfulness he showed. That Italian sub was the best sandwich I have ever had! I didn’t get sick from any gluten contamination which is a huge deal to me. I know it can be a pain to prepare the area for a food allergy but I truly appreciate it. All of the staff members were great and kind. Thank you for a great experience!

Good gluten free toast. Coffee was nice and quick. Lots of seating and natural light.

The coffee is pretty good! The gluten free bread is immensely dry and not that good at all. Cute location.

People there are nice, but they cant read a goddamn order. 3rd time they cut a gluten free order with a knife used on wheat. They cant even tell what sandwich the GF bread was supposed to be on. I hate Raleigh, nobody here can fulfill an order correctly.

Ron Hyman

Maybe one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. Had to wait several minutes for someone to take my order. And then they had no idea what was gluten free and what wasn’t. Ended up with nachos, which were just ok. Don’t have enough chips and when I asked for more to have with the toppings, they wanted to charge me for more chips. Won’t be back.
