A little crowded and the wait was about 20-30 mins, but great food. A lot of vegan and gluten free options. Good service, given how many people were getting served. Definitely a great place to eat breakfast/brunch at.

I appreciate how thorough our server was with checking on ingredients for the gluten-free pasta. The dish was truly delicious

Toby Stein

My military veterans group devoured a dozen pizzas from BJ's and each one was delicious. I love their spin on each of the different pizzas and we even enjoyed the gluten-free option. Marcella made sure that our order was perfect and our beverages were five stars as well.

separate prep kitchen for gluten allergy!

Sam Hosein

Yummy Indian restaurant with nice ambience. The menu has lots of yummy options including vegan and gluten free. Service is limited. The staff is friendly and will allow you to sit wherever you like. Only indoor seating is available. At every table there's a QR code that's used to see the menu as well as pay. Food is freshly prepared and came out quick. Lots of free self parking.

Definitely worth it. Haven't been in years and was glad to see they've finally added some gluten free options

Sean Moraffah

This is a gluten free review. The food here is packed with flavor. Here are some of my favorite gluten free options: Cha Cha fries Hand made Guacamole with chips and salsa Empanadas Chicken breast tacos I also love the ambiance. Very open, breezy, and comfortable. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. $18 for three tacos and $20 for enchiladas? Woah.

David Barry

Nice people at the bar Food was inedible. Pasta was a ball of gluten. Roasted chicken was dry and flavorless. Toast for the burrata was stale.

Alona Montes

They have gluten free pasta options. I had the gf fiorentini and it was delicious. Service was great. Sam, our server, was fantastic!

Dee Dee

Came here for a bd celebration. 6 out of 5 stars for presentation, food, service, and atmosphere. Brian did an exceptional job making sure our meat was well done and to our liking. All of the meat was delicious, and the sides during brunch were perfect. You may also go to the buffet bar where rhere is an assortment of fruit, potatoes, waffles, sausage, fritata, mixed greens, etcetera.They offered a $53 pp special for Father's Day, so it was very crowded. The sides came with polenta, gluten-free bread, mashed potatoes, and fried bananas. Bathrooms are on premises. Valet parking or park for free near the restaurant.

I've been to this location 3 times, and each time I/we were greeted with friendly staff and great pizza! THIS IS BY FAR THE ABSOLUTE BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA CRUST I HAVE EVER EVER HAD! Turns out, they make the dough in-house and their ovens cook the pizza at 900 degrees. Wow! The taste reminds me of the pizza in Italy and it doesn't get better than that.

This spot is a bit of a hidden gem, tucked away in an apartment complex, but it’s definitely worth seeking out. It has a cozy, intimate vibe, almost like a little community restaurant. Despite its smaller size, there’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great place to grab a quick sandwich, relax, and catch up with friends or just get something to go. They offer daily specials, with a separate menu for those, which I think is a nice touch. I was impressed by their gluten-free bread option, which held up well and didn’t get dry or fall apart—always a concern with gluten-free options. The bread still had great flavor, and the sandwich was packed with all the right ingredients: plenty of meat, fresh lettuce, tomato, and just the right amount of mayo and mustard, so the bread stayed intact and didn’t get soggy. The customer service was outstanding as well. I was warmly greeted when I walked in, and the staff gave me great recommendations for what to try. As for gluten-free options, I’m not sure if the facility is entirely Celiac-safe due to potential cross-contamination, but it’s definitely a good choice for those following a gluten-free diet. They also offer some solid vegetarian options, which is a nice bonus. While the sandwiches are on the pricier side, the portion sizes are generous, and the quality is there. My sandwich was big, and it came with a side of chips. Everything was delicious and flavorful, and I can see myself coming back to try other sandwiches from their menu. The smoothies were also fantastic, adding another reason to return. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely come back to explore more of what they have to offer.

Love the dim lighting and the menu! I was dining with a gluten free friend and she had lots of choices!

Karine Rivet

Not as many vegan gluten free options as I would like, but still tasty.

Karine Rivet

Fabulous gluten free, vegan pho!

Kelsey Lindaman Alpert

I used Lime Food Truck for my husband's 50th Birthday party recently. Ethan was very communicative and worked within my food restraints (all food had to be gluten-free for my husband's celiacs) and budget. On the day of the event, the team showed up on time and were friendly but professional. A week later I am still getting compliments on the quality of food! I would love to use Lime Food Truck again for any catering needs.

Melanie Sears

If your looking for a phenomenal breakfast restaurant, this is it! Great menu with gluten-free options. Went on a Sunday, line was long but that’s always a good sign! Lots of outdoor seating.

Annette Blaney

Fantastic waitstaff most cooperative. Menu is varied good selection of antrays with options for vegetarian and gluten free patrons. An array of beverages are available.

Melissa Lambrecht

I had one of the best gluten free meals I've ever had here! Very chill atmosphere with great service. I'll be back!

Elaina Jane Negrete

I love this place. It is so tasty and it has all the good options. Also lots of gluten free things!!👌💕

Cynthia F

I love Lazy Dog. I visit and door dash it frequently. I have celiac disease and can't eat gluten. They have a separate gluten free menu with many delicious options, plus dessert!

Denise Berg

I am thrilled that they are able to accommodate my gluten/wheat issue. They even have a gluten free brownie!

Hekasq X

Delicious desserts and coffee. Gluten free selection range of products is very decent and most importantly tasty. My go-to place for cakes, cupcakes and macarons.

Bill Youse

Really good coffee with perfectly cooked hash browns and gluten-free english muffin.

Jenn R

Food and drinks are delicious, but if you have immune issues to gluten, you really have to advocate hard to make sure things are GF when you order, otherwise you get toast thrown on everything or items that were supposed to be plated on the side all over your food. :,) Also: No classic style waffles here, only Belgian.

Minna Donatucci

This location has always been great, but it's even nicer after the renovations. Great selection (beware celiacs, there is cross contamination here so ask ahead of time for specifics), yummy coffee, very friendly staff.

Jose Villanueva

After spending the day at the fair, we decided to stop here on the way home. My wife has eaten here before, but this was my first time here. The food here was delicious and I left very satisfied. The staff is friendly and knows the menu well. They will recommend items if you are having trouble deciding. My friend has Celiac disease and was able to eat here safely and really enjoyed the food. They have a nice variety of food options for your dietary needs so I am sure most people will find something to eat. It is in the same parking lot as the theater, so you could go before it after a movie.

Bill Youse

Haven't been here in several years but the dim sum is as good as I remember. Best in Irvine that I know of. We had a bit of confusion with 4 orders of one item when we only meant one. It was taken care of. I enjoyed all of the wheat-gluten free selections I chose and everyone liked the other items.

Karine Rivet

A great new spot in Irvine, with modern, seasonal dishes, and lots of fabulous gluten free options.

Tess Ricci

The food was absolutely incredible! I have Celiac, so I needed gluten free, and they were great about accommodating me! There aren't many gluten free options, but the options they do have are incredible! Highly recommended! If you are bringing the kids like we did, maybe plan to bring something separate for them -- especially if you have a picky eater like I do!

Mark DeMoss

Love the patio. Excellent food. Very helpful staff accommodating wife's gluten allergy.
