Love Walker Brothers ! Amazing apple pancakes. Gluten free options. Great coffee. Good service and prices.

Like always, the restaurant is pretty and the service is great. The food is plentiful and delicious. I just think that the Arlington heights location should be more helpful with gluten free options.

Great selection at affordable pricing. I would say this has the best value for price with great flavor, variety, and selection. Plus it has a great gluten free selection for celiac. Have yet to have something I didn't like! Specifically on the sushi, some of the rolls are a bit bland but, again, value wise you can get some fantastic gems at affordable pricing versus down the street for 2x or 3x the price. Every roll I've gotten was great quality and I've often specifically tipped the sushi chef.

We have been here 3x just this week. This place is UNREAL. 1st - support your local businesses. These bowls start to finish are fantastic. This is our new take out. The options, freshness, protein are all incredible. The sauces are very, very good ! There are so many options - it's very easy to mix it up and not always eat the same thing. Purple rice to vermicelli noodles are all outstanding as well as the free miso soup. Give this a place a try - it will not be your last ! Service is impeccable. Everyone I dealt with was 10 out of 10 stars. They really go out of their way as well as the nice portion sizes. I had a small minor snafu and they gifted me a free bowl which wasn't even necessary but very thoughtful of them. Skip Chipolte -- go to Bibibop Asian Grille. Overall very healthy, veg options and gluten free. Wished I knew of them sooner !!!!!!! 10 stars. Will be here for the 4th time this week because I am taking my husband there. Not sure how anyone could find one thing negative about Bibibop Grill.

We chose Cooper’s Hawk Arlington Heights to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be a wonderful decision. It was our first time at this location, and from the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. They seated us in a cozy booth and surprised us with complimentary bubbles to toast our special day right from the start! Our server, Sean P., truly elevated our experience. His knowledge, honesty, and spot-on recommendations made our evening unforgettable. Every dish and drink we enjoyed was simply delightful. I opted for the surf & turf with drunken shrimp and churrasco grilled steak, both cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. My husband ordered the Caesar salad and filet mignon, which were equally impressive. For dessert, we indulged in the chocolate cake with hazelnut ganache that was unbelievably delicious—and Sean even informed us it was gluten-free, a pleasant surprise given its rich taste and texture. To complement the cake, he brought us a sample of dessert wine, which paired perfectly. Needless to say, we can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Our family enjoyed a Tortorice Pizza birthday dinner last night. We had 3 thin crust pizza varieties, including the gluten free crust, as well as the wings. All were delicious. Loved the easy online ordering and the ability to track the order so that we could pick it up while the food was still piping hot. Thank you, we'll be back. Happy holidays.

Recently went out to breakfast with a friend and got the meat lovers skillet, it was delicious. They also have amazing gluten free pancakes! The service was amazing, we had Amanda as our waitress and she was very accommodating to our dietary restrictions and she was very sweet. Additionally the atmosphere is very welcoming and homey. i would definitely recommend trying this place out!

We had such a good time last week at the Kelly Hunt show. Our server was great, she was very helpful in making a gluten free substitution on the charcuterie board. I really enjoyed my praline old fashioned. I'm not sure what gluten free bread they used, but it was delicious and it's hard to find good GF bread. However, I am not happy that I have to leave this review. When we got to the show the seats we bought online were a little to close to the stage for my comfort. I asked if we could switch seats, and the door guy told us we could pick out pretty much any other seat since the show was not sold out. However he did not tell us that we would be charged for another pair of tickets and a $11 "convenience fee". That came to an extra $60 ish dollars for just moving two seats to the right. Let me repeat, Hey Nonny charged us over $60 to switch seats. If that is their policy, then we should of been informed of that when I asked to move over and I wouldn't have done so. My husband went over to the venue today to talk to the manager about the second set of tickets on our bill and he was told that it's "their policy" and there is nothing they would do about it. Despite wanting to go back to the restaurant for the really good gluten free food, which by the way is not easy to find at a non chain restaurant in this area I won't come back since we were ridiculously charged at the venue. I feel very ripped off.

Great for a person with celiac many great options and the chips are fried in a dedicated fryer.

Maggie Harding

Really good gluten free pizza

Matt Schimpf

Food was very good, gluten free options are very limited.

Linda Smith

They make great gluten-free Chinese food, which is very hard to find. They are very accommodating and helpful.

Trish Nelk

Excellent! Server very knowledgeable about gluten free items. So much fun. Yummy

Shar

Our family’s been regulars for many, many years. Coolest decor anywhere. Everything is delicious. Everyone is friendly. Wish they had a few more gluten free options, but appreciate that they do have some noted on the menu.

Kimberly Hanauer

Incredible!!! Unique dishes with fresh flavors :) And I have Celiac Disease and while the menu isn’t marked, the server was incredibly knowledgeable.

They serve ridiculous amounts of good food, and we love the waiter we seem to get everytime we eat there. The prices might seem like they're a bit more than other places around the area but the quantity of food is always astonishing. We have usually 2 days of leftovers from the breakfast items we order. I always do some sort of egg breakfast, with a side of gluten free pancakes. If you order pancakes (entree or side), they are the size of frying pans. Order 2, not 3 unless you're really really hungry. My husband's only complain was that his omelet turned into more of a scramble, as in it wasn't very cohesive, with a remoulade sauce that didn't have much oompf. My omelette was just packed with veggies, so I suppose I had a similarly textured omelette. No complaints with mine. The teenagers never have any complaints due to the sheer quantity of food. It's a good place to try out!

Being celiac can be very challenging when going to small cafes. The waitress and owner understood celiac, and I was able to have eggs, hashbrowns and ham safely as they scraped and used a separate part of the grill. Gluten free pancake/toast option, but no separate toaster yet, they are working on it. Appreciate the effort.

Leigh Anderson

This is a staple restaurant in our carryout regimen. We've been going there for years. Our favorites are their Tom Yum soup, Pad Se Ew with tofu and extra vegetibles (they can make the pad se ew with a gluten free sauce, which is very nice), sweet and sour, panang curry, cashew with tofu and extra pineapple, peanut sauce delight, and their edamame. Plenty of items for meat eaters, vegetarians, and even the gluten free (if you ask).

Susette Leonard

What a relaxing, fun and delicious lunch! Needed dairy free and gluten free and still had a great variety to choose from and all delicious. Best Sangria in town.

I wanted to try Scratchboard Kitchen for awhile now. Because of the pandemic, I was still a bit hesitant to dine indoors. Luckily, their patio was open and they do take reservations! A friend and I made a noon reservation for Sunday. Got there on time but was told our table is not ready yet. Had to stand around and wait for about 20-25 mins. It was a gorgeous day out and there's plenty of stores surrounding the area that you can explore while you wait. I love how they blocked off a whole street so customers can walk around the area without having to watch for traffic. Did I mention this restaurant is women owned AND allows dogs out on the patio?! Masks are required when dining indoors. All staff are wearing their masks as well. If you can't stand wearing a mask, reserve a seat outside. Our waitress was super friendly and gave us a quick intro about the restaurant. Everything is freshly made daily. Before going to the restaurant, I was looking forward to their Pastry Board. Homemade pastries are a must try for me! Unfortunately, it was already sold out by 12:30 PM by the time we were seated. Very disappointed but will try to come back earlier next time! I ended up just ordering a Biscuit and their gluten free Banana Bread which comes with local honey butter and jam. This isn't your regular Pillsbury sized biscuit. It was big enough to share with another person. I absolutely loved the buttery and cheesy taste of the biscuit! Their honey butter goes really well with the biscuit! Loved it! Banana Bread was really good too! I shy away every time i hear something is "gluten free" because it just tastes BAD. But NOT this Banana Bread!! The banana bread was very fresh, packed with banana flavor, moist and a little bit of a chewy texture to it. My friend ordered the LAMB SHAKSHOUKA ( FETA, CILANTRO, BAKED EGG, SOURDOUGH TOAST). The lamb was cooked very tender and has a little bit of a spice to it. I wish there was more sourdough pieces to go with it because it was really delicious! I can't wait to come back and try other items on their menu!

I visited for a lunch-time private event. They had our party in a separate room. I was not the host but want to review because of how awesome they are. I can't eat gluten and they did an AMAZING job! Instead of bruschetta on bread, they had bruschetta on the tastiest grilled eggplant, they had gluten free pasta, a salad, chicken with cheese and sauce and steamed broccoli, ice cream for dessert. The staff made sure to tell me it was a gluten free plate for the courses where it wasn't as obvious. Love the communication, love the flavors.

Brittany Wilson

I hosted my son’s baptism party there this past weekend where they sectioned off a part of the restaurant for us. There was plenty of room for our party of about 30 people. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We had preordered off their catering menu and they had it set up buffet style for us at the time we requested along with the necessary plates & utensils. We ordered salad, pizza, gluten free pizza, beef sandwiches, and Italian ice quarts. The prices were decent, the food was plenty, and the restaurant was clean. It was overall a great atmosphere & vibe!

Joseph Witkus

Great gluten free

Jason Jensen

Great place to get sushi. Lots of choices, even gluten free. 2nd time still great. Thanks for the over the top treatment, Gabi!

Michael Schwartz

Went to try Bar Salotto before a show in downtown Arlington Heights. New to the neighborhood, we were excited to try it out. They were very accommodating. One of our party was gluten free and the waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable helping her pick the gluten free homemade penne with the spicy vodka sauce. It was delicious. We started out with the wagyu veal meatballs with whipped ricotta appetizer and the garlic puffs (the sauce was used to dip pizza in too) Both were outstanding. A hearts of palm salad with the most delicious imported Hawaiian hearts of palm was a fantastic light choice before the entrees arrived. As mentioned above, gluten free homemade penne with spicy vodka sauce was outstanding and light and nobody would ever know it was gluten free. We then had the Salotto hand stretched pizza that was light and different than your run of the mill pizza. The flavors and the light crust alone would have me returning. Finishing the night with a Kiki skillet was the perfect finish to an amazing dinner. My only regret was that I didn’t have room to finish the dessert All in all, I can’t wait to return. There are many other pizzas I look forward to trying that were recommended like the Fig and Pig and the Spicy Calabrese pan pizzas. The waiter also recommended the Bolognese pasta and the Tuscan Kale Salad. The owner and the manager were both very visible and attentive walking through the dining room and checking on the tables.

Underwhelming! Felt like a nice atmosphere with high prices and Applebee food quality. GLUTEN free eaters take note, I asked to confirm if the Salmon with vegetables and rice with butter sauce was 'gluten free' so imagine my surprise to see a $3 surcharge on the receipt for gluten free. 1st time in ANY restaurant there were a 'gluten free' surcharge without even having anything specific being Gluten free! What exactly did they do differently to an already gluten free meal is beyond my comprehension. I had inquired what noodle option was 'gluten free' and was told only 1 noodle option ( Rigatoni I think?) so I did not bother with a gluten free noodle dish. Now the meals for both of us were underwhelming and 'not good'. (for me the Salmon felt dry, old and stinky and my 91 year old friend said her Marcella wasn't very good either and the sauce way too salty). So the servant staff was very nice but that's where our experience today ends. Our bill with 2 soft drinks was $57 before tip for LUNCH. We agreed we will not return. ONE AND DONE folks!

Service was incredible and very friendly. The interior is beautiful and cozy. The server swapped the miso soup for a salad at no charge to accommodate my gluten allergy. The black rice Philadelphia roll was amazing and so much bigger than I had expected The chicken katsu was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Their homemade katsu sauce was "awesome sauce" Will definitely be coming back!

Therese R

The pizza is consistently great! It always has a generous amount of cheese and sauce. I'm also so glad they offer a gluten free option. I always recommend Rosatis to everyone who wants a quality pizza.

Teresa Staadt

Great food. They even have gluten free hamburger buns

I had catered from Madurai Kitchen for my wife’s birthday. From the time I called them to enquire about their catering, they dazzled me with outstanding service. Particularly Hemalatha was prompt and thorough with the recommendations, pricing and policies. I requested samples of the food I was going to cater, they obliged. The samples were delicious. We added dosa station to the menu as well. On the day of the party, Hema followed through on all the details. The chef showed up on time and everyone loved the food. The hot masala tea was a super hit. We had about 70 people and there was practically no left overs. Hema even arranged for gluten free appetizers. I am beyond delight on the quality of the service. Thanks Hema a lot for making it a memorable celebration.

Susan Lipson

Last night was my first time dining at Palm Court. The chef made me a delicious plate of baked or broasted chicken breast, baked potato, & mixed vegetables. I have some major dietary restrictions, not being able to tolerate gluten, & being on a severe sodium- restricted diet, as well. Given these restrictions, the chef created an extremely delicious chicken breast. I was very pleased. I look forward to returning to Palm Court.

Dianne Kovack

Food was excellent, not too salty, they had non gluten items in the menu or would adjust dish to make it gluten free! Prices were sensible, definitely a thumbs up place!

Kelly McClernan

My husbands family are die hard Wayne’s fans. For me, it was the best gluten free crust I’ve ever had!!

Ginger Cheetah

Lunch specials are amazing, I'm a big fan of the singapore noodles, they are made with rice noodles, gluten free, big portion, the flavors are wonderful, and food always fresh, thank you wing wah

Our new go to Pizza! Great gluten free pizza at a good price!

Jocelyn Gonzalez

My best friend and I love Ohana Poke! I have celiac, and the owner took the time to review all the ingredients while we waited, giving me a list of all of my gluten free options. This was within weeks of opening. Since then, I've noticed the online ordering has the GF and Gluten Containing items noted. This extra step made me so happy. But above all this, the food is so good 😭

Edward Tomlin

Perfect for someone that is gluten free. Excellent grilled seafood and fish! Highly recommended.

Jessica Unger

We went for the Home Alone pop-up. It was so much fun looking around at all of the little references, floor to ceiling! We did wish that there were gluten-free fries to go with the burger on a gluten-free bun, but at a bar with a pop-up theme, we were still very happy to have options. Our server was great!

Tony McCallum

Amazing food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. This has become our family’s favorite restaurant in town! My wife must eat Gluten-free and this place has great options for her as well. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Becky Jose

The food was great and the staff was amazing! They were very careful with our dairy and gluten allergy and assured us that they would clean the grill before making our meal. I will definitely be going back!
