I frequent this establishment now. To be able to order food and to know they take my celiac very serious is amazing. I am not much of a burger eater but these are some of the best I've had. The JQs sauce is so good and the fries. Being limited on food is hard so being able to eat here and not have to worry about cross contamination is great. Everyone is always so welcoming and appreciative of you coning in.

Exposed to gluten. We tried Madison's because of food restrictions. We arrived between lunch and dinner making us the only ones eating there. We requested gluten-free. I specifically said, "no croutons" on my salad. On my third bite I realized croutons were mixed in the salad, exposing me to gluten. The server was barely polite the entire experience and didn't seem concerned that about the mistake. No one enjoyed the food. The gf noodles were tough and everything looked microwaved. It was a lot of money for a very poor meal. Before leaving I headed to the restroom, passing the staff sitting around the bar discussing things. The restroom was down a flight of stairs (not sure how they handle ADA with that.) They had the door propped open and so many deodorizers to cover a sewer smell down there. To sum it up: a lot of money for a bad meal, gluten illness and bad service. They did not fulfill the name and advertisement.

I ordered a gluten free pizza, as part of a large group. I really appreciate our waiter, Alex, double checking the order because the kitchen cooked a regular pizza for me. I would have been terribly sick if I'd eaten it. It was a long wait, but Alex had the kitchen remake my pizza so that I could safely eat and he took good care of us. Thank you!

The smash burgers and fries and milkshakes are all delicious! The loaded fries are delicious. The line goes really fast and the food is out to you really quick. The service is outstanding, and everyone is so friendly! The restaurant is super clean! This is just what Jefferson City needed! It reminds me of the 1950s burger and malt shops where you could get a good burger, fries, and a shake. Thank you Yanis for offering gluten-free bun & fries! 😃

This is an update to my previous post. They appear to have different managers now, and do not charge extra for basic changes such as in my previous post. They were better than they had previously been for careful handling for cross-contamination because of food allergies. We enjoyed our recent meal there, and will return. I expect they will now be more like the Chipotle locations we frequent. First post: We eat at Chipotle frequently, but not this location . They provide a reasonably safe gluten free and dairy free meal, even meatless, if desired. This location has treated us poorer than others, charging extra for 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.

Do NOT eat here, especially if you have any allergies! I came because of their advertised gluten free menu and the very sweet host told me about his girlfriend and family member who are also gluten free. I get sat right away but it takes nearly 10 minutes to be greeted because the server, Heather C, has a large table and takes care of them and another table before even acknowledging me. When she finally comes I explain that I am a celiac and the severity of the disorder and she says she understands. She brings me my wine and salad then I don't see her again. A manager brings my steak order less than 5 minutes after I get my salad so there's no time to finish it and I immediately notice the steak was not fire grilled like I asked; not a big enough issue to complain but the bigger issue I realize after taking one bite is that it's covered in seasoning. I haven't seen my server in at least 20 minutes because she gets sat yet another large table so I catch the attention of the host and ask him to verify that the seasoning is gluten free. I was a server at Outback for a decade and order fire grilled steak because they only use salt and pepper since their seasoning packs HAVE GLUTEN. The host comes back and says the cooks DON'T KNOW but he shows me the seasoning pack and it lists "spices" and "natural flavoring," both of which are known to contain gluten. I am now upset and ask for my bill so I can leave right away before becoming sick. The server comes out with the bill charging full price for everything despite me not eating it and while I'm signing I say I hope you learn to take allergies more seriously because I'm going to be very ill soon. Rather than an apology, she snaps at me and says it's not her fault, grabs the plates and walks away. Incredibly disrespectful behavior from already terrible service. I don't recommend anyone eating here, especially if you get Heather C as a server.

I liked it the first few times because they offered gluten free French toast. However the 3rd time I got a very strong taste of mold. The server asked if I wanted to reorder because they threw away the bread and got a fresh one out. I said no. She said she would take it off the bill. The manager was talking to her and then she came and said there was no way it could be moldy because they take it directly from the freezer. I said ok. They didn't take it off of my bill either. I doubt I will go back.

Their salted Caramel Heath toffee concrete was pretty good, but since they do not serve gluten free buns or offer gluten free foods, I have to give it a three star. Edited to include: upgrading to a 4 star review. I appreciate the prompt response. I am one of those rare cases that cannot have any leafy greens. I applaud Freddy’s for offering it to the vast majority and recognize that I am in fact a minority when it comes to this option of a lettuce wrap. I also recognize the costly effect it has for places to offer gluten free buns.

Love to eat here. Atmosphere is quaint and cozy - reminds you of going to Grandma's house - that is, if your grandma is German. Wonderful dishes with plenty of Gluten-Free options available. Great wine list, as well. Seems to be a hot-spot for couples, families and lunch meetings with friends and colleges. A little hard to find, the first time around, as it isn't on a main road, but once you get there, you will definitely find your way back!

I've always loved the food at Hunan. It's top quality, fresh and hot - even to go orders. It's a gem among the plethora of sad buffets in the Capitol City. I got diagnosed with food allergies (gluten especially) and was afraid I wouldn't be able to have their Mongolian beef anymore. However, Hunan does #glutenfree Chinese food! They said they can make nearly everything on the menu gluten-free - just ask!
