This is my favorite restaurant! They have a discounted HH everyday (even on weekends) and has great mocktails. They have a staff is great and knowledgeable, everything is gluten free! They have a fried chicken strips are my favorite, along with the cashew queso & the Brussels.

Delish!

100% gluten free Mexican food in the heart of Austin! The food was delicious, and I legit wanted to eat the whole menu if I had an endless budget. You can’t go wrong with any item.

I ordered a custom cake for my 30th birthday party. Not only did the cake turn out exactly how I wanted, but I was SOO delicious! My cake was s’mores flavored, and honestly tasted to me like a snickerdoodle cookie which is great because that is my favorite kind of cookie! Everyone kept commenting on how good the cake was and they didn’t even know it was gluten free and vegan!! It can be so hard to find good tasting and allergen-friendly baked goods, but now Zucchini Kills will be my go to spot for any future cake needs! The bakery store front was a little tricky to find, it is tucked around the corner on the back side of Yarrow & Sage.

Saw this on Instagram. We were in a hurry and didn’t review the menu before we went. Not authentic Thai food. Ordered the Pad Ka Prow and had 95% green beans and maybe 2 tablespoons of ground meat. I get the overall healthy, gluten free nature but if you want real Thai then this is not it. I should have been clued in by the location.

Kimberly Hughes

An Austin must-dine restaurant, especially if you're into healthy eating. The food ingredients come from local Austin farms, and the menu changes seasonally. Plan to share bites and experience odd and tasty flavor combinations. Even cooler is that they are included in the goodfoodfighter.com top 15 Austin restaurants and have a gluten-free menu. Our experience, starting with the valet, hosts, and server(s) was outstanding! See ya'll again soon.

I love Squee and really want them to stay open and thrive. As someone who’s gluten-free, this place has been a go-to for me for almost a year. However, I’ve noticed that the vibe feels different depending on who’s around. My boyfriend and I are pretty traditionally presenting and have often felt like we don’t get the same warm service that other customers (particularly queer folks) seem to get. I initially thought maybe the employee was having a bad day and blew it off but we’ve easily been here nearly 40+ times and it’s clear that they have an attitude with us and aren’t as friendly or kind because we present as cis & straight. I’m a strong ally and believe in inclusivity, and I just wish that everyone, no matter how they look, felt equally welcomed. I know that many queer people face this kind of treatment elsewhere, but the solution isn’t to treat others the same way—it’s about making sure everyone feels respected and valued. The donuts/icescream are amazing, and I’d love to see the experience be just as great for everyone. If I’m reading this all wrong, then I sincerely hope the management and employees focus on customer service and kindness because it would be highly concerning if this was my business with how consistent their poor attitudes are each week. I’ll continue to be a customer because I’m gluten-free and have limited options, but again this review is because I love OMG Squee’s donuts/icecream and I want them to attract more business. From everyone.

I ordered a gluten free red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It was AMAZING. Our entire office loved it. Thank you so much Rachel!

Angelina Kunkel

Gluten free bakery that is genuinely actually delicious, moist and fresh. Cutest spot, very laid back and incredibly pleasantly surprised by how not “stuck up” it was.

GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS Food was delicious ! Service was excellent and our server was knowledgeable about gluten free options. Sadly the only option for dessert was the Frozen Yoghurt was gluten free. I didn’t end up getting it because i was too cold to eat something cold since we sat in the patio area.

Maggie K

Great food! And really busy, make a reservation for indoor dining. Carnitas and mango margs were my favorite. All gf!

Cathleen

They know their way around a green bean!! Tons of gluten free options, super delicious. My faves are the green beans and sticky rice

Jennifer Dolan

Was visiting and visited this gem 💎 everything is vegan and gluten free and organic ! I stopped by 2x loved the whole community

Brennan Keller

Love this spot. Great atmosphere and fantastic food. They even have an amazing gluten free dessert that isn’t just ice cream/sorbet. Highly recommend!

Donna Matlock

Lawrence Powell

Great place for Tex-Mex. Lots of gluten free options.

Janessa

This was my second amazing meal at Uchi Austin! This time I brought even more people. For our visit to Austin, I put Uchi high on my must—dine list because the flavors were so memorable. Everything was delicious. Sour, umami, spicy, herbaceous, sweet-- they covered every note. We ordered a variety and took recommendations from our wonderful waiter (Armin? Armon? - I should have gotten the spelling). Two of us are gluten free, and two of us don’t even like seafood generally, and we still loved it. Most of the menu can be gluten free (get the ponzu sauce!). What a great memory.

Jeff B

My favorite spot in Austin! Fantastic food that is 100% gluten free, great drinks and sunset on the patio can't be beat.

T Nguyen

The best mochi donuts in Austin! Teresa and Anthony, a husband-wife power duo, run this little pop-up business all on their own. They use a traditional Korean recipe and use 100% rice flour in their donuts, making it completely gluten-free. The flavors change often and are creative, fun and ALWAYS delicious!

Hannah H

Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.

I can't believe I didn't try Uchiko sooner. Anna was a fantastic server and the food was amazing. My boyfriend and I wanted to keep the bill around $200, so I was worried we wouldn't get enough food. I had to unbutton my pants on the way home. We're pretty indecisive, so we took Anna up on her offer to curate a menu for us based on our budget and likes/dislikes. Every single bite of the 9-course dinner was perfect. We got all our favorites (most of which we didn't mention - it felt like she was reading our minds), plus plenty of unique things that I never would've thought to order but turned out to be incredible. She checked in regularly to see what we liked so she could pick the next courses. Our feedback probably wasn't very helpful because we loved everything. I mentioned my gluten intolerance in the reservation. Anna addressed it as soon as we were seated and went over the gluten-free options. The vast majority of the menu items were either gluten-free or could be modified. It really stood out to me that the food runners all specified that each dish they served was gluten-free. I didn't have to spend the meal worrying about miscommunications. Our experience was on par with the Michelin-star restaurants I used to go to when I lived in NYC, but for a fraction of the price. Obviously the food was perfect. But what really set this experience apart was the service. I can't say enough good things about Anna, the bartenders, and the rest of the FOH staff. Everyone went above and beyond to take care of us and make us feel welcomed.

I was just excited to know everything was gluten free. Get the wagyu barbacoa tacos, you won’t regret it!

Chevis LaBelle

I always have a lovely time here but writing this review to shout out our lovely sever Ariana. She was such a light and her energy made the experience that much better. The shrimp & grits is great and my friend who has a gluten allergy never has to worry when she comes here. 10 out of 10 will recommend.

Renee Botelho

Great cafe. Tasty gluten free snacks. Lots of fun gifts and home goods.

Hailey Ellis

Went here last night as I just started a gluten free diet and have been sad I can’t eat many of my favorite sweets anymore! This place felt like my own personal heaven. The employee was so sweet and answered all my questions and the shop had a super cool, cozy atmosphere. I tried 2 of their seasonal cupcakes and they were some of the best I’ve EVER had! They have plenty of classic flavors but I took a gamble on some of their more unique cupcakes and was not disappointed. Whoever is coming up with their seasonal flavors is a creative genius. 12/10 will visit again when my sweet tooth strikes!

Hannah Helms

I have celiac disease and made that clear to the cashier. They marked “gluten allergy” on my receipt, and of course I only ordered gluten free items. Started having a reaction shortly after finishing my food. This location is not safe if you have celiac disease.

Amanda DeGan

Go here to eat! Fabulous food and service and so many gluten free choices.

Lisa K

Love this place! Has a great vibe and is one of the only restaurants around that offers both gluten free and vegan desserts on their menu. I recommend the teriyaki bowl with either salmon or crispy chicken, and the chocolate chip cookie.

Kathryn Thurman

Always able to find something Gluten free at Snooze. Servers are knowledgeable about allergies and gluten free

Suzanne Stratton

Tristan was amazing. Great service and d very attentive to our gluten allergy

Melissa Isaacs

Queso was great. Many gluten free options. Hot, fresh, great Tex Mex. Patio dining was pleasant.

Alexander Nagata

A long time Austin standard, Maudie's offers satisfying texmex with gluten friendly options. Going to the trouble of making the GF chips in safe fryers, they come in sealed plastic bags and are available upon request. Their breakfast tacos are loaded and delicious, but the enchilada plates are my favorite.

Lily Brannon

Celiac friendly, they show exactly what is cross contaminated on the menu!

Hailey

Had the enchiladas, so good! They don't have flour tortillas, only corn. So lots of gluten free options! If you are a baby with spice, the salsa is spicy, lol. Drinks were good. We went on a Friday around 6pm and were able to be sat right away for two people.

We firsted tried Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar via Postmates then our apartment catered from Loro which we found out to be the same place. After trying it twice, we want to experience Loro in person, especially given their expansive menu with so many items to try. Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($13.95): This sandwich came with citrus-cabbage slaw, pickles, hot honey, and smoked hot sauce. They put the slaw and hot honey sauce on the side, but even after adding the slaw and dipping the sandwich in the sauce, it felt deconstructed and didn't quite come together. I think the slaw would have been better mixed with mayo instead of citrus, which didn't complement the chicken well. Unfortunately, the chicken itself was dry and lacked flavor. Char Siew Pork Belly Bowl ($16.50): The pork belly was phenomenal but the portion size was small for the price, especially in contrast to the crispy chicken sandwich. There was barely any rice so they covered the bowl with a layer of veggies instead. The sauce it came with was really good and paired well with the fresh veggies. Wonton Chips & Dip ($8): Wow these wonton pieces are huge and crispy. They paired well with the thai green salsa which I thought was chimichurri. Even with the salsa on, the wonton chips remained crispy for a long period of time. Smoked Shishito Queso ($9.5): These weren't your average tortilla chips but were huge half moon, crispy chips topped with kimchi furikake. There were great with cheese and would have been better if they got it with protein. Smoked Wings ($13.95): Even though the wings were cold by the time we ate them, we could still taste the smoky flavor. However, I was surprised to see the menu description mention miso blue cheese because I didn't taste it at all. The hot sauce was noticeable, but it wasn't spicy.. Smoked Beef Brisket ($18.95): This was one of the best briskets we've had! The meat was incredibly juicy and fatty, though you could easily trim the fat if preferred. The chili gastrique and Thai herbs complemented the brisket nicely, but honestly, the meat was so flavorful on its own that it didn't need much else. Crispy Potatoes ($7.95): Unfortunately, the potatoes were hard, so we didn't enjoy them too much. They were seasoned with miso mustard, habanero aioli, and toasted white sesame, but the flavors were subtle and didn't stand out. Sesame Rice Noodles ($7.95): These gluten-free noodles were tossed in a chili vinaigrette with black sesame, green onion, and cilantro. While they were decent, they didn't pair well with the brisket or wings. I'd only recommend ordering them as part of an entrée rather than as a standalone side. Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.95): The description says it has salted toffee and almonds but I didn't taste any almond. Nevertheless, the cookie was good, sweet, and a good size. House Made Lemonade ($4): The lemonade was too sour for my taste, yet tasted surprisingly good mixed with beer.

Great staff, good gluten-free selection of food, and the staff will help with recommendations if you can't decide. Their drinks are delicious too, if you're old enough for the bar menu. Always fun to go and eat there.

Samantha Farber

We went for happy hour and they’ve got a great selection. I’m gluten-free and they were well-versed on what precautions to take and able to answer any questions I had about modifications.

Shane Anciso

here's what you need to know before coming to this location there's a bunch of places here so it's shared parking so parking is 80% in the battle especially with dragon Slayer in the corner depending on when they're having events could pick up the whole parking lot and let alone the fact that you have next door a Vietnamese Indian and multiple other little fruity places Decatur they're different people's and territories and precision just down the walking distance The other hand this place is totally one of the best franchises I went first to run my location and I was even more impressed with this location they keep the place spotless and clean with plenty of tables plenty of paper towels at every table Nice cushion seats TVs everywhere playing sports and super fast Wi-Fi The customer support was absolutely phenomenal with a variety of people to make sure that accommodate the eb and flow of different people coming in and out putting in to go orders and pick up orders and eating in also plenty of options for handicap and then the restrooms as well commands and women's with spotless or plenty of options and stalls I got a freebie on the app to get a free shake how can they make a shake this darn good Nutella pretzel chocolate shake may very well be one of the best shakes I've ever had in my entire life I highly recommend it it's the ultimate dirty dessert to mess up your diet or just give you the calories and carbs to burn off tomorrow for your workout :) highly recommend this place as well for the variety of burger options that will fill you up along with Fry's options and of course brussel sprouts and let me again mention this something that a lot of people don't notice franchise is great for is their variety of Brussels sprouts which I highly recommend the Parmesan truffle brussel sprouts next time you're here to share with friends and family also plenty of beer and alcohol and options while watching your favorite sports game and also taking advantage of if you're on your healthier side your ginger homemade lemonade :) on the burger side of a huge fan of the Diablo if you're into hot and spicy and can even do gluten free and they're gluten-free bun hit the spot too

Tiffany Woods

Great and safe gluten free burger

Brian Griffin

I wanted to try something different and the entire menu is made gluten-free And dairy free. It is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for and I’ll definitely come back

M A

Great home style cooking — even made us gluten free roti. Great customer service to go above and beyond. Coming back tomorrow again. Yummy cauliflower, panner saag, chickpeas & dosas. Owner and staff is great. Going back again tomorrow. Thank you.

Stephanie L

Great service and good gluten free options

Jenne Acevedo

We had a wonderful experience at Plank Provisions. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The dishes have interesting flavors and are plated beautifully. Lots of gluten free options, even dessert! The only thing I would change is the temperature of the chocolate peanut butter dessert. It was frozen solid when we got it, which made it difficult to eat. The flavor would be so much more enjoyable if it wasn't so hard. But we loved our dinner and will return whenever we're in town.

Andrew Collins

This place is amazing. A must go to for anyone with celiac or that wants awesome food

Steen Major

I'm on a Snap Pass plan and I buy meals for me and my family here every week. I work a challenging job and rarely have time or energy to cook, so being able to get fresh gluten-free meals that I can just heat in the microwave is hugely helpful! The quality is better than similar fresh meals I've gotten from grocery stores -- Snap Kitchen meals don't have the weird preservatives and chemicals that grocery store kitchens tend to use. We've recently enjoyed the pumpkin pancakes, shrimp and grits, maple dijon chicken, and harvest salad. The free bonus snacks I get as a Snap Pass member don't hurt either! My one complaint (as I notice has been mentioned in other reviews) is that the chicken can sometimes be overcooked if I microwave it for the recommended time. I've taken to checking the chicken before microwaving it -- if it's already fully cooked, I lessen the heating time. Making sure chicken is fully cooked is a food safety issue, so I can see how Snap Kitchen might be erring on the side of caution, but it might help to adjust the heating times on the chicken dishes. In general, this is a great service!

Denise Saab

Got the classic burger with cheddar and bacon on a gluten free bun and my boyfriend got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. We shared the truffle fries and got a couple drinks! Overall food was good, gluten free bun was phenomenal and tasted like a biscuit

C Crosby

One of my go-to brunch spots! Everything is fresh and flavorful. Banana bread with espresso mascarpone is delicious! Good juices and even better lattes. The Brassicas bowl (pictured) is my healthy go to but I also love the BEK. My husband keeps coming back for the burger and fries. Haven’t had a bad dish. I love the outdoor seating for fresh air but if birds nearby bothers you - ask for indoor seating. Great options for those avoiding gluten or just looking for dang delicious, nourishing food.

Andrea Bolin

PSA-if you are celiac or medically gluten free, this is not the place for us. Gloves aren’t changed, work stations are cross contaminated, and the fryers are not separated. The website states the fries and sweet pot fries are gluten free, and yet, they are fried together with everything else. It’s irresponsible to advertise GF when, in fact, you are not serving them frozen and at consumption they are unsafe. While this may be a small detail to ownership, those that risk hospitalization don’t find it so miniscule. The burger did look good; I’m not sure how it good it was.

Vicky B

The food was very good. I have a gluten intolerance and the kitchen and server made sure that my meal was prepared with very low risk of cross contamination. Tilly, our server, was friendly and helpful.
