Great breakfast food. We had omelets, OJ, and pancakes. We were starving so no leftovers, but generous portions. Allowed us to skip lunch while we visited the national park. Food arrived very quickly. Staff were friendly. Many gluten free options. Not a dedicated GF kitchen but I didn't have any issues despite being very sensitive.

If I could give this place a hundred stars I would! I have diet restrictions (gluten and dairy) and it's rare that I find myself with so many options on a breakfast menu. My dining companion is vegetarian and was similarly delighted by the wide range of offerings. Our waitress, Malia, was absolutely lovely and very knowledgable about allergies and food sensitivities. I also have to say that the gluten-free waffles were the best ones I've ever had at a restaurant!

Our Waiter Jose was so great. One person in our party has a gluten allergy and he was thoughtful enough to bring her GF bread and her own Olive Oil as well as alert her to the cous cous not being GF. Great experience

Wow! This place was delicious! Hands down sooo yummy! I am so in love. This was my first time visiting here and I loved the meal. Gluten free pancakes, eggs and a turkey sausage patty! Wow. I was nervous with my gluten allergy but I called in advance and talked to Carol and she was so friendly and told me that they make sure the fryers are separate for allergies and do not worry. Everything was so organized and absolutely delicious. Also, the wait was long but when Carol came by with a smile it eased the atmosphere of waiting for food. I loved the server as well Mitch. He was friendly and quick to get my order. Very good customer service! I will be back and hope everyone can visit this place in Ocean City Maryland. It was worth the wait! 🥰❤️👏🏾

I'm on vacation so we don't really know what's out here. These guys helped a ton over the phone suggesting getting around the wife's gluten allergy. Take-out food was great, but they forgot to put the Pico and melted butter in the bag... I guess no one's perfect

We randomly chose Lizzie’s at the last minute after seeing a facebook post in a gluten free group, and we were so pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent quality and I am so grateful for the care that Matt took with our order containing multiple allergies. He took time to ask about the allergies and also to notify the kitchen of our special order. I have honestly never had anyone working in restaurant care so much about my food allergies. It was refreshing. -So grateful, Laura.

First off - heaven is real. And it’s this restaurant. Date of visit - 5/6/22 I came by myself and sat near the bar and the Host was SOOO friendly and welcoming, I wish I could name him but he was exceptional at his position. The bartender was tending to my table and was so incredibly friendly and made good conversation. She allowed me to taste wines before I ordered so I wouldn’t be dissatisfied, she checked on me multiple times during my stay (so did the host) and was just all around someone that is good company as an employee. I sure do hope they get praise for their standards of service. The FOOD - was impeccable. I had the gluten free Gnocchi and it was sooo smooth and fluffy and just.. I can’t even. If you’re debating this place, just do it.

So delicious!! I got the peach honey ginger kombucha from the fridge (if you bring the jar back you get a discount!) and it was the perfect amount of sweet and spice. I also had the hummus and veggie sandwich on gluten free bread and the quinoa chips. Very tasty and the amount of food served was great. I will be back to try the acai bowls! Staff very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free and vegan options.

The staff when we dined was excellent. The food was delicious as usual. The service stood out. It was busy yet we were offered refills at our table numerous times. The restaurant was busy but our food was prepared fast, hot and delicious. It is always nice to have access to a gluten free option that is so amazing every time.

Pleasing atmosphere & good coffee. If you order food, just know it takes at least 30 minutes to receive it. Coffee comes out almost immediately, though! So just plan accordingly. Otherwise, great customer service & great coffee. We ordered a breakfast sandwich, gluten-free bread, & a Sunset breakfast burrito that was described as "Dynamite!" 😁

We went for lunch to beat the heat & stumbled across a true gem. They seemed understaffed as the hostess sat us and tried to take our food orders. However when we asked for fresh orange juice in our crushes the bartender was confused. Luckily one of the managers - Emmy - saw our perplexed looks and got right on making us amazing orange crushes. She even made our son a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice to drink and helped us navigate the menu as our daughter is gluten free and a pescatarian. Our daughter got beet salad with a shrimp topper as emmy said her favorite snack from the restaurant was seasoned nuts from the beet salad! Husband and i got crabcake and burgers and made our own surf and turf burgers - emmy’s response when she saw us - hey, its your dining experience! She was attentive and helpful, you could see her helping her staff with issues they were having but she didn’t forget about us! Definitely have to go when Emmy is working at dinner service because she is amazing - so i can only imagine how well she trains her staff!
