We were greeted warmly when we entered and our order was taken promptly. We found a table in a clean warm dining area. Our salad was fresh and delicious. When our pizzas arrived, they were piping hot and just as we ordered. They had a crunchy thin crust and were not charred or over cooked. The gluten free cauliflower crust was really good. We will be back again. Only negative comment is that we weren’t asked if we had their rewards program. We ordered 30.00 worth of pizza and only found out about the rewards when we went to the takeout to order another salad to go.

We arrived during a slow spell. Our server was polite and conversed with us while he took care of our orders. I’m allergic to wheat and have Celiac Disease. He put on fresh gloves, obtained a GF crust, which had its own tray, and knew to use ingredients from fresh containers. Overall a positive experience.

Delicious food served in a non-chain decor which is warm and welcoming. All the soups are gluten free as is the scoop of chicken salad. The gluten free soup was prepared separately with care to prevent cross contamination.

Was worried about going to this Pats instead of the original one in Henderson Louisiana.... from the time we sat down to the time we left it's like I was transported back to the original The food was amazing and they even took care of our gluten free needs by making the fried fish and shrimp to our needs! Absolutely am going back and can't wait to get more of the grilled alligator appetizer!

The food was delicious. We ordered a big pizza for the family and a dairy free gluten free small pizza for me. When we got the order we got no cheese on the big pizza and cheese on my pizza 🙃 we made it work because the wait for our order was already 45 minutes. However it's was delicious.

Amazing place if you’re GLUTEN FREE or have IBS. I have IBS with a severe gluten allergy and they cater to this allergy like no other place I have seen. Their food is delicious and their fried catfish is awesome. I have not been able to have restaurant fried fish in years. Their ranch is so good also. They even have No High Fructose Corn Syrup Ketchup which is also a trigger of mine. Come stop by this place!

I drive between Louisiana and Texas occasionally. I have gluten-free and dairy-free dietary needs for intolerances and wanted a restaurant that would take care of their food. They were able to alter meals as needed for my needs. I was happy to see the care they provided for another table, who needed assistance with transitioning from their walker to their seat. I hope to visit again soon!

We found this place while driving through Lake Charles. It was delicious. My son is gluten-free, and they were very helpful in keeping his food safe. The falafel is fried in a pan and not in a deep fryer, so it doesn't come in contact with gluten containing things.

I'm not a person that gives 5 stars but this time I had to. They have a great atmosphere, great service, and really really great food. If anybody is looking for GLUTEN-FREE, they have a gluten-free hamburger bun that goes with one of the best hamburgers in town and a build your own hamburger bar. I'm not sure where he gets his gluten-free bun but this one of the best I've tasted. I haven't walked into a restaurant and had a great hamburger on a gluten-free bun in years. My family also loved everything that they had.

I had the beef enchiladas I requested no red sauce add queso it came with both. Sauce was salty tasting they had offered to remake, but when you're on lunch break from work, typically, you don't have enough time to eat out, much less a mistake. I also have a gluten sensitivity, which is why I requested no sauce. So, of course, my stomach hurt after. I would not say this restaurant had a lot of gluten-free options. The staff, however, was wonderful best customer service at a restaurant in a while. From entry to servers Also, the server was very knowledgeable about products, which helped me be able to get the right items. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't. Had the kitchen got my order right the first time, I probably would have given 5 stars. For the price of 20.00 for lunch and enchiladas, I found it was priced high

Wow! What a fabulous find in downtown Lake Charles!!! Let’s start with the building - very nice historical brick with a huge patio front and a quaint indoor seating area and huge bar. Next the staff. We were greeted immediately when we entered by the most kindest and considerate hostesses who made us feel welcome and made us laugh. She also cared where we were located based on other parties so we didn’t feel cramped. Then the food for breakfast/brunch. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy and commented that they were the best he had! We travel extensively so this is a huge compliment to the chef! My steak and eggs were excellent. The steak was tender and juicy and very filling for 6oz. Our waitress was super sweet (we didn’t get her name but on the check her number was 504). She was helpful with my gluten issue and she also took wonderful care of us with prompt refills and making sure the food was perfect (which it was). Prices were excellent for the quality of the food and I only wish we were in town for dinner options. We will make this a dedicated spot for future visits and highly recommended to anyone looking for a full service and high quality restaurant in Lake Charles!

Really delicious meals here. Located inside the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino, Cadillac has a nice menu and drink selection at reasonable prices. Friendly service and staff that goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. If it’s a birthday or other special event they will make it special. Options for gluten free diners though the chips with salsa are not gluten free, but they will bring out corn tortillas to enjoy with the salsa. Ample seating with private spaces available. Huge drink selection to include specialty tequilas and crafted margaritas. Definitely on our list of places to come back to next time we are here.

This is such a great restaurant, the food is delicious and the wait staff is so kind! My family and I went to Nina P's after a long day and the staff here blew us away. My mom has a gluten allergy and she told our waitress about it to make sure that what she ordered would not contain gluten. The waitress took her allergy EXTREMLY seriously, she made sure that there was no gluten contamination in her food by telling the chef to clean and cut everything fresh for my mom. It is so amazing when wait staff take food allergies so seriously! Even though our wait was long, it was well worth it due to the allergy accommodations being made. The food was delicious, I had the fish and it blew me away! I almost always end up with food to take home after eating at restaurants, but the food was so good I ate every bite.

The food is delicious and well plated. Perfect proportions. The interior is cute, cozy & quiet. The butcher paper on the table was awkward and confusing. Our server seemed confused by gluten-free and dairy-free options. All-in-all, though, it was a great meal and a good experience.
