Daniel Galis

Great burgers and fries! Very accommodating and celiac safe. Would definitely come back the staff are very knowledgeable as well!

Laura Boenish

Best keto/gluten free food I’ve had!!!

Alexa Dwelley

I had a large party for my graduation here and we had many food allergies (celiac/ dairy allergies/ etc.). The staff was flexible and helpful with it all. On top of that, the food was the best italian food I have ever had. I would not recommend another place to go have dinner.

Kelly Gesling

Good pizza. Glad to see gluten-free crust options now available! Got a (huge) medium all Canadian bacon, half pineapple, half sauerkraut. Could definitely have used more sauerkraut! Other than that and the obnoxious post game day patrons at a nearby table, it was a good experience. Waiter was great!

Marques Garrett

While it’s not my choice of atmosphere, it certainly serves the clientele. I was thrilled to see the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free sections on the menu. That makes it super clear and helpful. The service on a Monday night in January was quick and kind. Very grateful

Shalen & Tiff DeBrower (Tee)

Great place if you have celiac family members!

Gretchen D

Good service and good food. Also offer gluten free buns. Which are delicious.

Trudie Derenne

Sofia was so great and really listened to my concerns of having gluten free food due to having celiac disease. She was very kind and service was great

Brenna Reed

Zeppelins is such a wonderful experience every single time we go. The food is near perfection, I love that this restaurant has a gluten free menu and takes allergies seriously. I have never had any issues while eating at this restaurant. The happy hour that runs everyday is such always a bonus on top of the wonderful and excellent service we receive from the staff. I wanna give a special shoutout to Ben, who is such a wonderful server and just perfection. He is always excited to see us, makes us feel welcomed and wanted there. He always remembers our drinks, checks out throughout the night and always says when the bill is given he is still around if needed. He is always a pleasure and we love asking for him! We appreciate you! I would also like to give another shoutout to Maddie who is always at the hostess stand, she always make sure we feel special, always has the gluten free menu for us and recalls our name. She’s always a light to our visit, we always love walking in and she’s there and welcoming us like old friends. We appreciate you so much!!

Had it to go. The gluten free chicken nuggets are the best! Staff was wonderful!

Brian Channel

Very good gluten-free waffle combo!

Jonathan Neuzil

Good choices for men with chronic upset stomach on the gluten friendly options.

My favorite Indian food in town! You will be greeted with a smile and excellent hospitality as well as experience flavorful dishes. The menu has an amazing variety with gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Tanner Hagen

Still my favorite restaurant, even after loosing my old Google account. I must be a "yuppíe" as Christy Dykes would apparently say. Please Google the definition of "Entree" before saying it's too small. I generally order 2 appetizers, an entree, a dessert, and two millstream sodas. I am a 200lb man after all. I have Celiac and this place has proven itself to me to be celiac-safe time and time again. Also if you are going to use a derogatory biker term, please know what it means, I am 40+, most are older and no one here is pretending to like Harleys. Is being well paid even an insult, lmao. My "father" was in an MC and I hate Harleys. Oh, and go watch South Park "the F-word" to see what most of America thinks about Harley riders these days. If you can't afford it just say so 🤷‍♂️. I am a disabled stay at home Dad, I am paid in smiles. I personally can only afford it twice a year (my wife and I spent $140+ a $20 tip last time) and I go out to eat nowhere else because there is nowhere else that is truly safe for someone with celiac.

The Potatoes

Bento box was good. Server was friendly and accommodating. Would have preferred gluten free options on lunch menu without an upcharge. Spent $50 for two people plus a side and two sodas. The sushi fish was very fresh.

Heather O'Malley

There were plenty of gluten free options and the food was super tasty.

Hunter Nelson

They knew what to do with my celiace

Shan B

Great place for dine in and take-out. A few times, we've stopped in and ordered to go and enjoy talking with the people there. Options on the menu for gluten-free. Be sure to ask for it gluten-free, or it will be made traditional style containing gluten (this was recommended by one of the ladies I was speaking with - so I wanted to share this tip) I really enjoy the garlic beef.

Ellie Adams

Stopped in during sporadic road trip. I had seen they have gluten free crust. First of all, the pizza was great! My husband liked the New York style crust, daughter liked the cheese bread. Lots of stringy cheese! My gf was great as well. Where it went wrong was the boy who took our order...I'm guessing he is new. We are pretty easy going so we didn't complain. Again, food was great!

Giuseppa Finocchiaro

I Went to Jersey Mike’s for the first time today for a quick lunch. The staff were very polite and helpful. I’m gluten free, and they were very accommodating. They didn’t act put out or annoyed when I mentioned it like some other places do. I’ll definitely go back.

GLB Iowa

Great gluten free menu

Knowledgeable about gluten free options.

Olivia Adams

I just had a get together with what I thought was going to be 10 people, and ended up having closer to 20. The server (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name) was awesome and so flexible with us. She was also supportive of my request to not offer alcoholic beverages, as I'm in recovery. They also had gluten free kids pizza that was delicious! Everyone's food came out in an awesome amount too time considering how many people there were including a couple of the guests that came a little after we showed up. I am extremely grateful for the kindness of the staff 🙏 even when our children weren't seated and going to the toy machines and back. Great place. Thank you so much 💓

Daniel Galis

We got salads which were good. A decent amount of the menu items can be prepared gluten free. Speak to the manager about celiac safety since the servers were not as knowledgeable. Overall I would come here again, and I felt comfortable having celiac disease.

Ankita Maheshwari

As an Indian American, I am very pleased with the food and the general atmosphere here. I love the decor, its so vibrant and cozy and the service is really warm and friendly. The food is great, lots of variety and the menu is very clear on vegan and gluten free options.

Bop's Pizza 921 Blairs Ferry Rd NE Suite 130 Cedar Rapids , IA After reading so many comments about Bop's, I had to give it a try. •Restaurant Layout/Vibe Rating - 5• Far more spacious than you are lead to believe from the outside. Ample seating with artwork pieces that are completed puzzles. You have table seating on one side and booth seating on the other. •Customer Service Rating - 5• Once the family and I entered Bop's, we were promptly greeted by smiling faces. The gentleman cooking the pizzas waved and said hello with a big smile. It was like we knew each other (in all honesty); we did think we knew each other; I'm pretty sure it's a kindred spirit thing. We were checked in with multiple times and had excellent service throughout :)! •Appetizer - 5• Cheesy bread with tomato sauce. I loved this! They offered to cut it into eight pieces which worked perfectly for us. It was so good that I was trying to keep my expectations down on the pizza. I love to get myself so pumped many times to where I feel a bit bummed after the excitement build-up, and it wasn't the case here :)! •Pizza Rating - 5• Where to start. We ordered a New York: Queen Margherita Five cheese blend, fresh Mozzarella, Roma Tomato & Fresh Basil And a Detroit-style Pepperoni (this style can take between 35-40 minutes), but you can't rush perfection! I would wait all day, every day, for that pizza ;). If you are in a rush, it might be best to order ahead. It was fantastic! As some have said, the tomato sauce is just perfect, I was hoping it would be amazing, and it was). It balances the sweet and salty so well. One can tell this is made fresh and in-house. The crust was delicious as well. With a light, crispy, texture and is also made by scratch in-house. For those of you that need a Gluten-free option, that looks wowie, it is also offered at Bop's. Seeing other Gluten-free crusts really makes you appreciate a crust like this. See attached photo; it's hard to believe! •Dessert - 5• We went all out. Ordered ruhbarb pizza. The Rhubarb is brought in from local sources, and you can tell it's so fresh. It's got that tang and fresh taste that you can only get from an excellent fresh rhubarb. WE LOVED IT. We also tried out the sugar cookies, and they did not disappoint! I HIGHLY recommend the dessert pizzas with the experience we had. Drinks I just wanted to make a note here for those that wonder. They also had some beers on tap, which are in the attached photo. Fun Fact: It's not on the menu, but you can order Chicago-style pizza on Tuesdays until they run out ;)! Better mark your calendar! They also have vegetarian options. To sum this up, we found our new favorite pizza place in CR/Marion! #pizza #cheesybread #cookies #draftbeer #dessert #dessertpizza #glutenfree #restaurant

Gluten free share

Diane Schultz

I need to eat gluten free. This place was 5 minutes from my hotel and offered a gf crust. I do not like cauliflower crusts and thankfully theirs wasn't! The crust was good, the sauce was great and the toppings were tasty and plentiful. The pizza was delicious. My friend who isn't gluten free agreed with me on all of it. I'd go back there in a heartbeat. You fine in or take out. There is no delivery.

Emily Bashus

Great pizza, gluten free options and big salad. Delicious!!!!

Danielle Hoske

Great customer service, waited a bit for first round of drinks but overall good experience. Would be helpful to have a gluten free menu or indicators of gf options on the menu.

Alan Buss

Bari was amazing! We went tonight for our anniversary, and really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is really fun, with intriguing Italian food combinations, and fun drinks too. I had the ravioli with ribeye, which was so unique, and really wonderful! My wife had a gluten-free pasta, which was similarly wonderful (especially for gluten free pasta!). For dessert, I had the tiramisu, which was also amazing. My wife tried a new vegan chocolate mousse, which you could not even tell was vegan! Totally amazing! We ate outside, which was also lovely, with a nice breeze (and protected from the rain). And the service was excellent as well (nice job!). Overall, highly recommended!!

Jason Silcox

I'm gluten-free and tried their gf noodles and wasn't impressed (undercooked), but tried the doodles (zucchini noodles,) this time. Phenomenal!!! Next time, i,'m trying it with shrimp.

Crystal Dean

Good food! Have gluten free options

Erin A

I called ahead and spoke with the chef ahead of going here for a group event. They answered my questions for celiac accommodations and said that they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, that they do not toast their GF buns near regular ones (they steam them), and that they often serve orders for people with celiac. I felt confident going into the dinner the next day after that conversation. Unfortunately, when I ordered the server told me that the gluten-free fryer was not running that night. They offered a salad or soup as a side instead of the fries. I do believe they can accommodate celiac needs but suggest calling that day and confirming that the fryer is up and running if you are looking forward to ordering something that would require it!

Bijan Kholghi

Amazing authentic Mexican Food. A lot of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Huge menu with a lot of variety. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Theresa Jones

Great staff, great food! Nice gluten free options.

Sarah Schildmeier

Excellent food. Great gluten free friendly selection!

Shan B

They have gluten free crust and even offer to change gloves if you advise of 'allergy'

Brooke Denison

Went to Wawa Caribbean Restaurant for lunch today. Everything was fantastic. Service was great and restaurant was clean. The food was amazing. The server noticed I had a Celiac cookbook with me and told me she can adjust meals to make gf. I had the oxtail soup with rice/beans and plantains. The oxtail was cooked to perfection, ready to come right off the bone without being over cooked and the broth was perfection. I also had a papaya smoothie with my lunch and it was delicious, not too sweet but just sweet enough. I would definitely go back and probably will within the next couple weeks. — at Wawa Caribbean Restaurant.

Gluten free burgers but don't eat the fries. I picked small chuncks of breading out of my French fries. Everything tasted great.

Stacey Frank

Thank you for having a gluten free menu :) Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Clean atmosphere and food was good.

Jennifer Sorg

We enjoyed an excellent, unique dinner here last night and can't wait to go back. They have something for everyone, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. The vegan pate board they featured for vegan week was amazing. I will be thinking about that for a long time! Daniel and Armina do a great job and really care about their guest's experience. Highly recommend when you're tired of the usual Iowa menus served at other places. Cocktails looked fantastic but we had a delicious Tempranillo. This is a restaurant that deserves support from the community because it adds a different and delicious dining experience.

Karen Marshall (Kkm)

Great tasting food that can be gluten free

Jeff Myrom

Looking for a Mexican restaurant that has a fresh and different approach than many? This restaurant had excellent service, high quality dishes, nice booths and a fun atmosphere. Plenty of gluten-free options too.

Karen Marshall (Kkm)

Gluten friendly.

Alyssa Telecky

Great flavors, I’m so thrilled there are gluten free options! I went over lunch and there was plenty of parking and it wasn’t as busy as I expected. My takeout order was accurate and on time, and came with a fork and napkins. I expected a bit more meat on the Texas Cowboy bowl, but the portions are large and definitely filling. Will be back to try their sandwiches!

Kate Foley

We ordered food to go. I am gluten free and the manager took extra care to make my basket without contamination. The food was amazing. They have amazing burgers but their fries might be the best! The bacon was also perfectly crisp and real tasting!

Annette Kirchner

I have to have gluten free bread which one reason I love this place, I order 3-4 times a week there, when they don’t have the bread they don’t call they just put it in a bowl which is fine BUT I pay an extra $2 for that bread, and I don’t get refunded that. That is my biggest complaint. The food is always great. I just wish they were better at refunding or at least trying to make it right. Also the free pickle is great when they don’t forget it.

Kent Andersen

Came in on a recommendation and was very happy! The pepperoni crusted bosco sticks were amazing with the cheese dip! Ordered 2 pizzas that were hot and full of flavor. Fresh baked cookies for dessert! Menu has gluten free options and power bowls as well. Server was friendly and helpful. Outdoor patio. Lots more to try next time!
