Good for many gluten free options. (You’ll have to get the white meat instead of dark if you want certain items to be GF) will definitely be coming back!
Service was great
Reliable spot loved for years offering a vast vegan menu that satisfies and service that truly caters to needs.

The person working pick up orders was incredibly rude. When asked if the food we ordered was gluten free because there was no gluten free marking on the box he said he didn’t know. We asked if he could check with the kitchen staff and he replied “No they’re busy.” We informed him that it needed to be gluten free because it was an allergy concern and if we could get the cost of the food compensated since we couldn’t eat it and he said “No, its already been cooked.” Terrible customer service for a restaurant that advertises itself as gluten free.
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with great food, live music, and a diverse menu that caters to various tastes and dietary needs.

Nowhere on the menu was it listed that they had grilled or gluten free options and the staff didn't ask. When they brought out an extremely over cooked dry deep fried chicken I said I couldn't eat it. The manager offered to only take half off. After making the point that im not going to pay for something I can't eat they said they'd take it off. We left without my husband eating as they staff was short with us after that and rude. Will not be back.
Edit. They did NOT offer an alternative option. At no point did they ever answer my questions of a grilled option whatsoever. Absolute lies to their reply to my comments.
A budget-friendly spot where you can feel at home, famous for its handmade butter and enjoyable turkey dinner.

Hoo boy. My French toast was moldy, my hash browns had black stuff from a dirty grill, and my second round of hash browns was bitter.
My wife ordered off the gluten free menu and explained to the waitress that she was Celiac. The waitress, who had no idea what Celiac was said "it's ok, I accept you!" She was brought bacon that had been fried in a fryer with gluten, and was clearly hours old.
Edit: after we told the manager (one of three present) about the moldy French toast, she said the mold was just a blueberry. At least one of the three managers should have been keeping an eye on the dirty grill, the moldy food, and the gluten cross contamination. The manager didn't charge us for our food and offered us $5 off coupons for the next time.
We're not coming back.
Enjoy a unique fast-casual vibe with easy ordering at touch-screen kiosks and a menu that offers flavorful, well-seasoned options.

Ben was awesome! He was very helpful and made sure my order was gluten free for my allergy. I felt very welcome and safe eating here. Such a great first experience!
Great for hosting events with responsive service and easy parking, plus a popular spot for tasty pizza in Columbia.

If you're in Columbia then you should stop to eat at Shakespeare pizza. I do once a year at least. 3 locations but my favorite is the south and off campus. I had a gluten free crust. Very good.
We have one non-dairy, one gluten-free, and one picky eater. N&C works well for us, though non-dairy options are very limited. If you're dairy-free, hope you like pad thai!
Hot, fresh meals bursting with flavor, plus unique vegetarian options keep the kids curious about dining at this unexpected spot.

Good, hot food-- exactly what we ordered and freshly made.
This included 3 vegetarian orders and a gluten free, which is nice to be able to get!
My kids think it's weird they are eating at a Hy-Vee...

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Additionally, the server was kind enough to help me identify gluten free options on the menu (Celiac). While there weren't extensive options, the pad thai with shrimp was delicious!
A go-to spot with unique toppings and tasty options for everyone, perfect for families looking to enjoy pizza together.

My daughter was in Columbia for a soccer trip. Her original stop was at Shakespeare Pizza. My daughter has celiac disease. Shakespeare pizza was not willing to wipe their counters off to make a clean pizza, for her. They let her know that they don't have time to accommodate her. Her and my husband headed over to Pizza tree. They couldn't have been more accommodating and she said the gluten free pizza was absolutely delicious! And she was symptom free! Highly recommend!
This cozy spot offers a warm atmosphere, friendly vibes, and a great variety of drinks that'll keep you coming back for more.

I love Toasty Goat! I came in yesterday and was immediately amazed by the positive and loving atmosphere! The baristas greeted the customers by name. It was very cozy and comfortable with plenty of seating. I loved the gluten free brownie. The menu had plenty of variety! Such a wonderful coffee shop! Highly recommend to anyone!
The grocery store offers a vast selection, including a deli, bakery, and Asian food, all in a clean and inviting environment with a florist too.

Hy-Vee is the king of grocery stores in the Columbia area. You can find gluten-free and vegan options here. They have a deli and bakery. They also have a restaurant where you can grab a bite to eat. Besides standard deli and bakery, they have Asian food and pizza. All of which are good for a quick bite of hot food and affordable.
The store also includes a florist, though Im not sure if they provide special arrangements or just basics. The basics have gone over well in my house though 😉.
The store is clean, staff is friendly. I've never had a negative experience at one of these stores. Even the other customers here seem friendly. I guess everyone likes to shop at Hy-Vee.
Drive a little ways for this BBQ. Based on the sampler platter, everything they smoke is delicious. Bloody Mary includes several slices of house smoked bacon. All smoked meat is gluten free, as are most sauces and some sides. Staff are knowledgeable and able to discuss food allergies.
This laid-back joint is a go-to for amazing fish and an array of favorites that keep patrons coming back for more.

The food is usually good, but don’t go if you’re on a schedule. It took 25 minutes for two burgers and fries to come out, and one burger had to be remade because the gluten free bread got forgotten.
A beloved local spot known for its fresh salads and exceptional homemade extras, perfect for all taste buds and a must-try burger.

Ozark Mountain Biscuit and Bar has fast become a family favorite—with something for everyone. The salads are fresh and delicious, and the chicken sandwich is so good. It’s hard to choose what to order! I love the attention to detail on the homemade condiments and extras, and the gluten-free cornbread is amazing. A local treasure!
Edited to add that the burger gets the distinction of “one of the best burgers I’ve ever had” from a teenager who is somewhat of a burger connoisseur.
The sushi was good, and I loved that they had a gluten-free menu. I do think they need to work on ambiance, though. The atmosphere was not on the same level as the food or the service, which was also great. All in all, they are doing the most important things right, but when I go out, I also want to enjoy the environment, and I think a lot of people do too. Food and service are definitely five stars, and my cocktail was really good too.
Known for amazing desserts and a standout ganache cake, this spot offers decent noodle options but sticks to sweet creations for the win.

I usually come get for the desserts which I love. The gluten free ganache cake is the best! All of the desserts I've had here have been pretty amazing.
Today I decided to taste their noodles. I ordered the small bowl of their beef noodle soup. The noodles were good, there was a generous portion of beef for the small bowl. The broth needed something extra though and I could not decide what it needed, a touch of salt? Maybe a little spice?
I'll definitely stick with the desserts from here forward.
Known for its knowledgeable service, this spot offers delicious options and cheerful modifications, though portions may leave you wanting more.

If you get the right server, they can be very knowledgeable about gluten allergies. My husband ordered enchiladas and I ordered tacos. Both were *delicious*. But we left hungry, we could have used bigger portions. Chips and salsa were very good, we tried filling up on those after we finished our entrees.
With standout dishes and options for dietary preferences, this spot is a must-visit for a delightful meal in CoMo.

It is the best place I have eaten in CoMo. The beet salad was really amazing, I would go back for that. My vegetarian friend was so pleased with the entree. My gluten free friend also enjoyed everything she had. So great for dietary restrictions.
Lively and homey vibe makes for a perfect hangout spot, with cravings guaranteed after tasting the amazing pizza!

It's ok, but what you get for the price isn't worth it to me. I do appreciate the gluten free bun option.
Their iced tea is good but it seems to always be empty when I'm there.

It's really hard to eat out when you have Celiac Disease but this place has a dedicated gluten-free waffle maker and they are cautious about cross-contamination.

We eat here frequently. They provide a reasonably safe gluten free and dairy free meal, even meatless, if desired. This location has treated us better than others, making substitutions (beans in place of rice) for one of our group. We like everything we have tried, unless is was sitting a while and dried out. I do wish they would train all employees how to prepare food for allergies! I usually have to tell them the order to do things to avoid cross-contamination.
Hyvee has adequate checkers, helpful staff. Prices are high, especially meat prices. Cooking oil has gone through the roof. Store is clean, vegetables fresh, shelves well stocked. Specialty items, like gluten free, are very high priced. Overall, a nice store, but pricey. Not for the faint of heart.
