Gluten, Vegan, and Vegetarian friendly! Soooo good! Loved it so much. Will return! Get the baked cauliflower!!

Jessica Freeman

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

Crystal Nicholls

Wonderful Dining. The atmosphere of this restaurant was fantastic. We had a wonderful experience. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free, and the restaurant seemed to be very conscious of gluten safety.

Be careful if you have a food allergy. I am celiac, asked for gluten free fish and chips, but I got food contamination. It made me vomit shortly after finishing.

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

Michael Baron

Rice noodles and knowledgeable on gluten free broth and other items

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Legacy Pointe! Our daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last year so this one of the only places we feel fully comfortable eating at in town. We have been many times and we always have a great experience. Today was our best yet! Kierra was our waitress today and she is wonderful. We have had her before and she is always great! My husband loved the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I got my usual, the hamburger ponyshoe. My girls got the kids burgers and the best fries!! This time we decided to finally try the flourless chocolate cake. It was amazing and my daughter absolutely loved it and it made her so happy, I about cried!

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Am the food is gluten free. The owner is awesome.

I’ve been to Au Cheval before my gluten allergy, but I have to say— the gluten-free route is the way to go, even if you’re not celiac! Service was fantastic, and they offer two gluten-free burger options: a hash brown simmered in beef tallow or lettuce cups. I chose the hash brown, which was crispy, buttery, and indulgent, but if you want the meat to shine, go for the lettuce cups. We also got the bone marrow, and it was to die for—highly recommend! If you’re GF, it comes with lettuce cups; otherwise, you get toast. They offer small (2 bones) and regular sizes—the small was perfect for sharing. That said, I’d rate the burger meat 7/10 — not quite the holy grail Chicagoans claim. And if there’s a long wait? Probably not worth it.

The visit was a mixed bag. It is nice they have a gluten free dedicated fryer for my wife's dietary needs. The help was friendly and inviting, and the food was tasty. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the order. We found the crispy cheddar curds had more vegetables than cheese curds and the portions were not consistent as our party of 4 had considerably less food than the party of 2 had next to us (served at the same time at the bar). We saw another order about 20 minutes later, and it was the same amount as our neighbors (a mound heaping over the bowl at the bar as well). We all ordered burgers, and my daughter's and my burgers were mixed up (fortunately we caught it before eating) and neither of us had the pickles as stated on the menu. Additionally, my burger was over cooked (previous reviews we saw heralded how cooking temperature was spot on). They did take it back, remade it, and it was fantastic. The menu is very limited (8 entrees) so one wouldn't expect the various mix ups. Is it worth a shot coming here again. Yes. The staff and food is good, so I will consider giving it another shot.

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

My favorite local spot for a high quality meal & attentive service every time! I love the unique touches and little details they add to the dining experience. They also have amazing gluten-free options and a dedicated gluten-free fryer which is a huge plus for those with celiac and/or allergies. Highly reccomend!

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Amy Watterson

Great place if you are Gluten Free! They are very aware of cross contamination & Celiac disease. Our waiter took the time to go over the menu with me & give me details to ease my mind.

Jeff Klatt

Excellent gluten-free options. I look forward to another visit.

Kristin Heisinger

Gluten free soups and regular sandwiches.. 00 beer and Coors light and a bloody Mary! Salad was very fresh and learned music art was from the Skidmore gallery! The Skidmore was not open but will look online!

Cory McEachern

Mind blowing Whiskey selection. Smoked brisket was delicious! Good have been a larger portion. Atmosphere is bang on. Several items marked as gluten free on menu 👍 Would go back again.

Melanie Torres

Holy moly! Absolute wonderful time overall! Was given a reasonable wait time, however within 5 minutes we were seated. The waitress I wish I caught her name was absolutely great. The waitress was attentive but not overbearing. The food was delicious! We started with the candied bacon as an appetizer, I highly recommend that. Being gluten free and Celiac I was a little concerned but no concern whatsoever there was plenty of food reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I got the burger my husband got a white fish dish both dishes were absolutely delicious! My son got boneless wings and his girlfriend got chicken and waffles. All the food was scrumptiallyumptious! The food came out so fast but not too fast but I was actually shocked how fast it came out with considering how busy it was. I highly recommend this place.

I attended a baby shower held in the private back room of The Range. A delicious gluten free brunch buffet was served. Everything was hot and tasty. Especially loved the turnip omelets. I love trying new dishes. The service was spot on.

Demetra K

This place is GREAT!!! I first went here as a group with my partner and our friend. Friend was hungry so we thought we'd try it. My partner (who is celiac) didn't research here prior to coming so we didn't have high hopes that he'd be able to eat here. Boy were we shocked when we asked and they confidently listen what was and wasn't gluten free, how they have dedicated friers, it was the happiest surprise. Plus the food was SUPER tasty. Since then we've gone back a couple times and everyone is always so knowledgeable and friendly. Plus the outdoor seating is very inviting and comfortable with the fire pit especially!!! Love it here 10/10

Adam Rosenbaum

Really impressed with how great the food is for a brewery. My wife has celiac disease and their menu had plenty of gluten free options. Of course the drinks were good too!

Cassandra Bonomo

Unfortunately we don’t live in Lake Zurich, or close enough, as we would definitely go back to this place! Food was great. Service was also great. Lots of craft beers and food options were just right. Loved that they have gluten-free choices too, especially a dedicated fryer for the fries, which were delicious! Definitely recommend!

JaQualla

I had lunch at Wildfire and it was tasty but personally not anything to make me return. The service was nice and swift and I did appreciate the gluten free option however it was just alright.

Wendy M

Friendly service, good menu, gluten free options.

Tommy Mac

I would describe the food as artisan yet unpretentious. I had the seared tuna special and was quite impressed. They have a great gluten free menu. Atmosphere is cozy and romantic. Service was friendly and attentive.

Wil Michelle Smith

I have celiac and called first to make sure the crust was gluten free and there was no chance of cross contamination. They assured me that the crust is shipped in and takes longer to cook because it's on a dedicated pan. Then when I got there I asked again and was assured for the 2nd time that it was totally safe. I live 3 1/2 hrs away and spent a majority of the trip home throwing up. I then was sick with joint pain and headaches for a week afterwards. I don't recommend it if you have a gluten allergy. 😞

Michael Baron

Probably the best gluten free pizza in Chicago. Not an exaggeration.

Lynn Bregar

We had our daughter's baby shower in the Speakeasy today and it was a phenomenal event. Our event specialist, Susan, was so easy to work with and accommodated our requests with ease. Our guests raved about the rich decor and tasty cocktails but the true star was the food. With the varied menu offered we were able to feed the vegans, the gluten free crowd, AND the folks who will eat anything. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty and was all plated beautifully. We had a hard time getting our guests to leave! Prices were reasonable and the staff treated our guests like royalty. It was a pleasure to support this local business that has done so much to enhance our community.

Yard House in The Glens is a fantastic spot! The location is convenient, and the menu truly stands out with its wide variety of options, including gluten-free and meatless choices—there’s something for everyone. Despite being consistently busy, the service remains top-notch, which is impressive. The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for gathering with good company. I highly recommend trying the poke nachos and mini sliders—they’re standout dishes! To top it all off, the happy hour deals are unbeatable. Yard House is definitely a go-to destination for great food, excellent service, and a lively vibe. #yardhousetheglens #yardhouseglenview #yardhouse #theglens #theglenfood #pokenachos #minisliders #glutenfreeoptions #glenviewillinois #movingtosouthflorida #southflorida #movingtosoflo #bocaratonrealestate #soflorealestate #exprealty #gracebucholtz #gracebucholtzexprealty

Emily Costello

Gluten free buns were great , fries in separate fryer and servers knowledge of allergies fantastic ! Food was great . Server very nice

Catherine Lee

Food and drinks were pretty good, for a chain. Decor and service were pretty good. It’s easier to get a restaurant reservation than for bowling or bocce, so make sure to book that as far in advance as possible. A good number of gluten free and vegetarian dishes.

Samantha H

So fun! Riley and the kitchen were wonderful with my gluten allergy!! Definitely recommend!

Marcia Cooley

Went with our adult kids for birthday celebrations. Delighted that all the appetizers that needed bread were enjoyed by all with their toasted gluten free bread brought alongside the naan and sourdough. Even the delicious Truffle Bucatini was prepared with gluten free pasta. The Chicken Tikka Masala and Steak & Ale Pot Pies were amazing. Service was attentive and friendly. Wish we could have had a table in the small room next to the bar area instead of being right by the bar but it the end we thoroughly enjoyed our meals

Denise Kaplan

Delightful and delicious! From the attentive wait staff to the tasty and beautifully-presented food, this place is a gem. I had the heirloom tomato and mozzarella salad - so fresh and good! We shared the snapper...it was a generous portion served with amazing crispy potatoes. We added creamy mashed potatoes and a couple of veggie sides - all excellent. I have a gluten allergy, and everything was well-labeled, and the staff was well-educated. They even served gluten-free crackers upon seating. The flourless chocolate cake was decadent. The vibe is modern and relaxed - lots of birthday celebrations with fun sparklers going on. Loved their decor and tableware - everything was thoughtfully selected. Can’t wait to return.

Allie Hendrickson

They have many gluten free options for appetizers. They also offer cauliflower crust for their flatbreads and have gluten free buns for their burger. There are also gluten free alcoholic beverages like ciders, seltzers and more.

Jenny Mann

The burger was great! They were knowledgeable about what was gluten free on their menu and they have potato chips that they use a separate fryer for. The server was great! The hostess was pretty unfriendly but I didn’t want to take a star away from the restaurant for that because when it comes down to it, the food was good, atmosphere is good. They have a kids menu and crayons, too.

Marilyn Sullivan

Out of the ordinary food. Super Good. Love the selections. Superb service! Greeted the minute you walk in the door! All of this and more. Friendly service and atmosphere. Only coffee this morning, but eat here on a regular basis. Accommodating for gluten sensitivity.

Scarlett Mullikin

Place looks great, cozy, upscale brewery pub with good food. Burger selection is choose your Protein & style. Also includes other Sandwiches, Pizza, Apps & sides. Several Vegan & Gluten free options. Long list of Brews & Ciders avail. Had a large group, someone forgot the reservation, had to wait 90 min for table, but was not rushed out either when most the group stayed till 11pm. Not bad for a crowded Sat night in Chicago.
