Fantastic food and fantastic service. The gluten free buns are perfect (which is extremely rare) and they have a dedicated gluten free fryer. The meal takes a little while to cook but absolutely worth the wait.

A nice small coffee shop. For my gluten free folks, try their gluten free bagel! I got mine toasted with cream cheese and it was so good. The bagel was soft and perfectly toasted without being super dry. It is very hard to find gluten free food and to find it where it tastes good is great. I hope they expand their gluten free menu a little but it is a small business and I understand if they don’t.

Had a party of 12. We sat down on time. The staff could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. We had one person in our party that has a gluten allergy and she was unable to taste the bread....the staff heard her and brought her out gluten free rolls!! The food was amazing as well as the evening. Bella in reservations was extremely helpful and accommodating. We'll be back!!

I ordered a small gluten free sausage pizza. The pizza was dry and I counted 8 small pieces of sausage- not even 1 piece per slice. We also ordered an large sausage pizza with extra sausage. Again, very little sausage. VERY DISAPPOINTED 🙁

This is my go-to favorite restaurant. The food has always been excellent but in the beginning service was a bit slow. This past weekend we went in for Sunday dinner and it was my second visit that weekend. We had Jorge as our sever both times and he was attentive, timely and provided us with excellent service. I’m gluten free and this restaurant accommodates my food restrictions while still allowing me to eat everything I love. The Steakhouse burger is the best!

Gluten free menu available!!! Atmosphere was so wonderful we almost didn't notice the long wait for the food caused by an unforseen tablet to kitchen processing error. The manager Q came over to apologize for the wait multiple times, as well as our server Tiffany checking on us and apologizing. The food was so amazing, it was beyond worth the wait. Would 100% recommend, even with the wait!

There currently isn't a single Bob Evans location in Gainesville, so I had to travel to the nearest Bob's in restaurant row in Ocala. I don't usually go out to any Bob's for breakfast, but there are hardly any lunch menu options suitable for me as an individual intolerant to wheat gluten and dairy casein. All the available seafood entrees are breaded, but the dish I tasted, the sirloin (cooked to medium-well perfection) with mushrooms and onions to go along with my chosen sides of fries and green beans, is delighting to my taste buds!

This place is a hidden gem! I stopped in and was greeted by smiling faces! The restaurant was very clean and inviting. Being my first time here, I let the gentleman behind the counter know that I have a severe gluten allergy.. the chef came out to reassure me my food would be prepared safely! While I waited, MD (I’m assuming is the owner) brought out samples of things for me to try. Everything was delicious! The chef then came out to show me my order and made sure I was happy prior to leaving. The portions were more than expected! I am beyond blown away with my experience here and will be happily returning sooner than later!
