INCREDIBLE. Love all the flavors and toppings. Def best eaten fresh in restaurant but I’ve also reheated in air fryer at home.

Samantha Willi

Dedicated GF. Everything was delicious and the employees were so, so kind!

I ordered takeout while visiting from out of town. I accidentally ordered pickup but because I was at a conference I couldn’t leave to pick it up. I called and the kind owner Monse picked up and told me she’d deliver my food herself. Which she of course did. The food was wonderful! Filled with flavor. I wish I lived closer and could come back. I had one beef and cheese pupusa, one beef and cheese pupusa, and rice. Service was top notch of course. And to top it off all off, as someone who needs gluten free food, finding this place with authentic, amazing safe food was the highlight of my trip.

100% gluten free and lots of fun small plates (perfect for sharing) to choose from! We loved the shrimp and grits and the flourless cake!

Casey Cromwell

Delicious cinnamon rolls and super convenient locations next to Mountain Mama Natural Foods, a natural health store.

McKenzie Goff

Absolutely the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. The gluten free pancake flight was to die for. My family and I are all celiac and had no issues.

Dana Driscoll

So many gluten free options. Gluten free spring rolls that were made fresh were absolutely amazing. The servings sizes are huge enough to take some home to enjoy it all over again. Staff was super friendly. IVY was an amazing waitress 10/10 would recommend this place. Will definitely be coming back.

I order online. I haven't been to their store. I had given up every being able to EVER have a sandwich again. About a year ago, someone had recommended Outside the bread box bagels. The bagels are the best gf bagels I've ever had. After that i ordered the raisin bread. I loved the raisin bread even more than the bagels. (The other breads are fine but too small for me to make a sandwhich). After wasting so much money on products i end up not liking, i was afraid to try their sandwhich rolls. FINALLY, I caved and ordered one pack. I should have done it years ago. These are the best sandwich rolls I've ever had. I'm pretty sure they are better than rolls with gluten. That's gow fantastic they are. I'm so happy that i can have sandwhiches again. It's a sinple pleasure that i have missed. A couple of other things: 1.) I have never had an issue with my order. 2.) there are no instructions on the website or on the labels, about how to store the products. I freeze them until i need them like i do with all gf products.

Great service and great pasta. Gluten free options #glutenfree

If you’re looking for a JUICY gluten free fried chicken sandwich, this is the place! All their fried chicken is gluten free and they only fry gluten free items. They have some gluten in the restaurant (like gluten buns) but are careful with cross contact. My chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside, super juicy on the inside, and the gluten free bun was fluffy and held together well. The tater tots were super crispy and our food came out quickly. Will def be back!

Casey Cromwell

They have a gluten free menu you can request that also indicates options for avoiding soy, corn and coconut and everything is dairy free and plant based. They have gluten free desserts from local gluten free bakeries and are happy to modify dishes as needed for additional allergens. Their cocktails are also AMAZING!

Kirk Pearson

These donuts are great! I was shocked that they are gluten free. Might be the first gluten free thing I have eaten that doesn’t taste like cardboard. Please open one and n south Denver, Parker, Highlands Ranch, etc.

As someone with Celiac Disease it is often challenging vetting places to eat at. Im glad to know that HuHot in the springs is able to take safety precautions that really eased my mind regarding the handling of my food. They gave me a separately colored bowl to indicate my allergen, scrubbed the grill (ELBOW GREASE SCRUB), and sectioned off areas for them to prep my food. The sauces are marked with "gluten free" label above. I do wish they were marked below just to be sure on which sauces I was grabbing. Noodles were separate from veggies and far enough away from meats so no cross contamination there. I did notice that they changed the menu where shrimp is now only after 4 lol. I try to maintain a pescatarian diet and crab is not an option. Next time I would bring my gluten tester to ensure, but I did not get glutened after eating. I really appreciate their time and professionalism regarding my food and the severity of my allergen. They didnt make it seem like a hassle doing everything they needed for my safety precautions for celiac, and they really just made me feel really normal especially as it seemed like the opening lunch rush. I cant thank you all enough for being amazing but the people that were working that day thank you all for what you do and the care you place into peoples food. This was a big part of my trip visiting the springs and a huge part of my disability.

Recently took our USAFA cadets here for a pre-finals dinner. My daughter picked it because she is type 1 diabetic and Celiac but it received good gluten free reviews. We all enjoyed our meals. The good news is that they have LOTS of gluten free options and my daughter did not get sick. The bad news is that she said it was all delicious (especially the GF flatbread) that she ate way too many carbs and her blood sugar was sky high all night. I guess that is the price she pays for good GF food. :)

Casey Cromwell

They have a gluten free menu and will serve gluten free orders on different plates, which makes me feel safer. I usually get the gf ginger chicken and broccoli but also love the spicy chicken!

Velette Britt

All their sandwiches can be made with gluten free buns and grilled chicken.

Heather Comyn

Great gluten free options

Jaimie Sihrer

Gluten free options available

Brianna Martinez

10/10 highly recommend Angry chicken. They have incredibly friendly staff, and their food is always fresh and delicious. I have a gluten allergy and they have always have been accommodating 🥰

Casey Cromwell

If you’re looking for a quick, convenient bite while exploring downtown Colorado Springs, this is a great spot to stop for breakfast or lunch. Most of the menu can be made gluten free and they have which options can be gluten free marked on the menu. They also indicate when gluten & dairy free is not possible. It is a shared kitchen but they are careful with cross contact, including making the gluten free baked goods with fresh equipment and ingredients and baking at a different time.

Sarah Guidone

Wow, what a gem!!! The food was absolutely incredible. Chef Ingrid is so gifted and brilliant! Loved getting to hear her wisdom and approach. We had the best time! I highly recommend trying her OG Panang curry, street food Pad Thai, and chicken lollipops. The matcha strawberry tiramisu was super wonderful. Awesome spot for anyone with gluten allergy too! Can't wait to go back!

Lauren Mendoza

Deliciousness!! We tried all the gf sweet treats, and all were excellent! Eclairs were my favorite! They were so beautifully made and presented. Culinary perfection, and the coffees and lattes are all wonderful too!

Phillip S

This place has the best southern style catfish in Colorado. I'm also gluten-free, and they have the absolute best selection.

If you look at the world through a child's eyes, you will be full of wonder and joy, especially entering into this spot. The Rabbit Hole transports you into Alice in Wonderland incredible experience. Now we have more reason to return to Colorado Springs. The entrance itself will beckon you to explore and enjoy lingering a bit longer than expected. Situated in downtown, you'll find the telephone booth with stairs leading to an unforgettable adventurous experience. There is whimsical renditions of Alice in Wonderland decor and art work. With little nooks and corners tucked with great views of the restaurant, atop, main floor, back room, there isn't any bad seat. Gets really happening around happy hour so I recommend reservations. I simply couldn't resist the White Rabbit Martini. Who doesn't want their drink on fire with a toasted marshmallow awaiting at the end of the concoction? The babe had the Cherry Limeade which has a gummy slice as the garnish (not your childhood limeade). Also big fan of the T Party margarita that blends tequila and coconut rum for a drink bound to leave you smiling nonstop. Big fan of their numerous gluten free entree choices. WOW, I am speechless. The duck confit is so filling, rich with flavor and a fattiness my belly loved. The babe had their chicken cordon bleu and couldn't stop raving about it. Our other choice would be the bison short ribs. Was disappointed didn't get to have dessert because there wasn't gluten free option other than gelato. They say if you are just a little playful with life, every moment is a celebration. Celebrate the small wins. Big wins. Every win.

If you’re looking for a higher-end spot to eat in downtown Colorado Springs, this market is a yummy spot. Their menu indicates what dishes can be made gluten free and the staff seemed aware of cross contact. They also have many grab and go options, some of which are gluten free.

Casey Cromwell

Cannot recommend this place enough for anyone with celiac. It is pricy, but the food is amazing and they have some of the softest gluten free buns. They also have dedicated fryers, TATER TOTS, and all their sauces are gluten free. Ordering the salmon burger with no glaze, gf bun, tater tot’s and the aioli for dipping is my fave!

Brian DeLong

Iconic downtown eatery and bookstore. Great menu with a good variety of options with multiple choices for individuals looking for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. A variety of daily soups as well but honesty I’ve never ventured from my first meal there years ago which was the #1 pizza special with a 3-topping slice of your choice, a top notch house salad and a drink. It’s consistently amazing! Also theres a hidden patio in the back when its nice out!

Amber Day

Today was our first visit to this restaurant. The service was excellent, food was great. We have gluten and dairy allergies. The waitress not only was knowledgeable on the menu, but marked our allergies very prominently on the order so that they wouldn't be missed. We were quite impressed.

James McDaniel

Always a special and amazing experience!The courses can be ordered a la carte or as a 4-course meal consisting of cheese fondue, salad, main entree (wide selection) with desired cooking pot, and dessert fondue. *Gluten Free and vegetarian options available. Bear in mind that you will spend at least 1-1.5 hours here if going through a full 4-course meal. The food is outstanding, well-prepared, and paired with an amazing selection of sauces (7 different sauces) to enhance flavor. The entree food is given all at once and is portioned for individual cooking (you do it yourself). The experience is easy, with dippers and cook times provided. I recommend the herb-crusted chicken and teriyaki marinated steak! The drinks are fantastic! Each drink is mixed well with options for every taste. The service has always been outstanding. The wait staff and managers check often and are open to inquiries and feedback. I had Isiah the last time I went and he was interactive and offered pristine attention to detail. The decor and ambiance is great for romantic, celebratory, or causal encounters. The Melting pot can cater to whatever occasion and offers a variety of add-ons to find that special something. I’ve been to the melting pot many times, never have I been disappointed.

Mike Pattermann

Are you looking for a flavorful food experience surrounded by beautiful art and pictures all served with love and care? Yes, you will find it here! The seasonings perfectly complement the healthy foods. The service from the owner is genuine care and concern for you and your meal. Most of the foods are also gluten free! Try this hidden gem!

I love coming to the Red Robin, I’m always happy to get a certified gluten free meal❤️ Austin was our bartender spicing up the experience🥳 The management and staff are super friendly and I wouldn’t go to any other restaurant!

Elizabeth R

My husband and I usually order takeout, but their food is delicious! 🤤 You will not be disappointed. My husband is all celiac and cannot eat gluten, and he’s never had any exposure or problems after eating here.

Ria G

Okay wow this place was delicious, hands down the best Thai food I’ve had. If you have allergies/dietary restrictions they have an extensive gluten free and vegan menu!!!! I love Thai food and I’m very picky in terms of flavor, sauciness, and spice level. The food was yummy and tasted fresh. Service was SO fast and Tonya (may be spelling her name wrong) was SO sweet and attentive about dietary restrictions. I was surprised to see the bad reviews especially the one about the food not being flavorful, I got medium spice level. We ordered pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and pad Thai. I prefer drunken noodles but both were amazing and the tofu was perfectly fried.

Casey Cromwell

Love that they have gluten free soy sauce and lots of gluten free options. They are pricier than some sushi places nearby but do have higher quality ingredients imo.

Sheila Barritt

Truly exceptional, the gluten-free menu has many choices, and everything was so fresh and seasoned just right. I would have loved to try dessert, but I was too full to order any. Proportions are definitely filling. The wait staff are very friendly, although we did have to ask for refills a couple of times.

Rappleye Travels

Alright alright! I am just gonna say it. This is the absolute best BBQ chain out there. If you know of something better, please let me know. We had the wet brisket, pulled pork, half chicken, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, fries, and cornbread. If there was a place that makes me angry about my human limits to eat, it's this food. Plus, the majority of their food is gluten free friendly, which is absolutely amazing!

Jeanie G

The food is great and they are very careful when I tell them I am celiac. I just wish the delicious bbq was chopped up more instead of being mostly a glob and not chopped up as mych most places . All in all it was excellent though.

Patrick Gardner

Mom has celiacs disease where she can’t have gluten and it is severe enough where her food can’t touch bread. Told the cashier, young kid who looked new, that one of the burgers is an allergy and stated protein style. He only entered protein style without notating allergen. Lettuce burger came in same bag as my regular burger and they were touching. Manager offered to remake it . The only issue is that the remake took 10 more minutes as they were slinging orders out the door. In my mind remakes should jump the line and be the next thing made. Overall I’ll be back, but consider not having your customers wait for a wrong order and then wait again for a remake on a busy Saturday night.

Casey Cromwell

Pricy but delicious place for breakfast or lunch! We got the gluten free French toast flight which they make with canyon bakehouse white bread + their breakfast bowls that are naturally gluten free. They cook gluten free orders in a different area of the griddle, change gloves and modify dishes as needed to ensure they are gluten free.

Evan Higgins

We came in from out of town and stopped in. They have a gluten free sub on the menu. After beginning to eat it, we were told by the server that our order was mixed up and we should stop eating it as it was not gluten free. Management refused to give us a refund on the food that they messed up as well as food that makes people sick. If you have a gluten allergy, stay away. They do not care about your health of you or your loved ones. Used to be a great place. I'll never be back. Management was not in and they had to be called by workers. They told us their manager said they wouldnt refund because "they swapped it." Complete joke. What a fall from grace by horrible management! Update: no call from manager. They really do not care about your buinsess here.

Annelise Lovell

My gluten free bun fell apart after one bite. It was so dry. Why can't high end restaurants invest in better gluten free buns.

ian f

Love this place. Has gluten free for my wife and the owner is great.

Adriana Nelson

gluten free wraps for sandwiches and goodies

Casey Cromwell

They have gluten free and/or dairy free ice cream flavors clearly marked on the main menu and keep sealed pints of each flavor for allergy orders that they use a clean scooper for. The employee was super educated on allergens & happy to take the extra couple minutes to get my ice cream from the separate pint. We loved my gluten & dairy free pb chocolate ice cream & my bf’s salted peanut butter ice cream!

Mike Dam

On May 26 2024, we had the pleasure to stop in for a amazing dinner, the Manager(red vest) was very nice. But we almost never write restaurant reviews, but we met a waiter there who had to be recognized publicly. Nick was his name and he was phenomenal. He catered to the both of us equally. The other gluten sensitive issues, He was prompt, smart, and knowledgable about the food. And he just had this friendly demeanor about him that made us both happy. By the end of our dinner, two of us said, "He's the best waiter we've had in a very long time.

Selina Thome

We had the egg rolls as a starter. They were delicious and enough to share between 4 adults. Then we had the Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Fried Rice for dinner. It tasted so fresh and yummy! Then we had the chocolate cake for dessert. It was the perfect ending to an amazing dinner. Everything we had was gluten free! The owners are so knowledgeable and nice. They source their foods locally when possible and also buy fresh meats locally. We will certainly go back!

Cheryce Nicole

I can't say enough about this place. I'm vegetarian and I recently found out that I'm gluten sensitive. I thought I was out of luck when it came to Mexican food. Then, I found this place. I left full, happy, and I doesn't even have to break the bank. Even better, my whole family loved the food. We will definitely be back.

Nicole Smith

Mark is absolutely AMAZING! We struggle eating out with our daughter because of her celiac disease. He has a whole menu for gluten free! Highly recommend giving this a try!

Margaret Ragsdale
