They take allergies and celiac very seriously here. Although the menu is not marked, you can ask them what is gluten-free. I'm majority of the entrées are. And they have a dedicated fryer and some of the best fries we have ever had. It is one of our go to places and we feel very safe coming here. They've got great protocols in place.

Vegan and gluten-free options are only halfway worked out -- available but not delicious. It turns out I had been served a meal that was not gluten-free at a prior visit. The server's timing delayed our meals being served together. The host didn't have the character to accept responsibility when he inquired as to how things worked out. I will definitely think twice before dining here again.

I chose the vedge experience to try 3 dishes and desert for $65/person. All the plates were not only uniquely thought through and delicious, but also presented like works of art. I really enjoyed the creative balance of flavors they used from only plant sources that even mimicked non-vegetarian dishes I've had before. Menu rotates seasonal so I will be returning soon and is well accomodating for gluten free patrons. An experience well worth trying

An upscale take on a typical Israeli hummus and skewers restaurant. You'll share a huge number of veggie apps for the table, with as many refills as you want, and then everyone orders a main dish (which you can also share). We were blown away by the fish, but underwhelmed but the cauliflower. Great attention to allergies and lots of gluten free options. Like the apps, dessert is also included with the main course. We ended up spending surprisingly less than expected.

Sometimes, all ya really want is a good ol' gluten free breakfast sandwich, and thankfully, High Street delivers! Apparently you can order a GF loaf ahead of time as well, in case you were wondering. The man working was super nice 🙂 Also very happy that they have delicious modification options, so my maple sausage, egg + cheese with avocado + caramelized onions was super flavorful and juuust a little bigger than I could finish. Their pastries and refrigerated sides look super good; only one gf chocolate muffin available. Small place with enough seating for 4-5 inside and 6 outside. & the fresh OJ was super fresh!

This restaurant is an absolute joke. I ordered this gluten free shack burger in the shake shack app and received the most pathetic portion I’ve ever seen of lettuce and tomato. My order also included a regular shack burger with large tomato slices and lettuce. This has to be a joke. I could’ve cried I was so hungry, and I lost my appetite peeling the three pieces of tomato stacked on top of each other because they were all congealed into the cheese. I also had to eat it without the top bun because all of the sauce was attached to the shred of lettuce on the burger.

Really wanted to like this place. My girlfriend was so excited to try the gluten free bagel. Bagels were below average. I asked for mine toasted and they did not toast it. Seriously, the only thing you had to do and it probably would have made it a decent bagel! I know that it was close to closing but come on. Feel bad leaving this review because they were nice and the store was cute.

Really cute and tasty dessert. It felt so special getting each of these desserts served to us. So much thought and detail has been put into the presentation. The flavors are also the start of the show. This is not a case of style over substance. I would highly recommend going here for a night out or quality time with someone special. There are also great gluten free options. I had the teramisu which is gf and was delicious.

We were in town for 3 weeks for work and we ate here just about every single day, sometimes twice a day. Extremely underrated place. Excellent food. The prices are really inexpensive for the quality of food that you receive. Standard American food, but with gluten-free and vegan options and all very well done. Wings in particular with the dry rub, sauces on the side, was one of our favorites. Also the steak, fried chicken sandwich, and their tacos were all excellent. Desserts too - homemade ice cream and fried cheesecake. We will be back regularly every time we are in town. Can’t go wrong here.

I'm not sure they've ever gotten my order fully right. They pay no attention to "gluten free bun" and half the time give me a bun that will make me sick. They skip ingredients -- don't bother adding avocado or bacon or whatever, you get what you get. Wrong shake flavors, wrong fries dips, and they never send ketchup or utensils when you ask through the app. If you aren't picking up yourself to check and guarantee your order is right, don't bother. I'm giving up.
