The best place for GF eats!! Everything on the menu can be made gluten-free except for the mac & cheese! The owner’s daughter is gluten-free, so she wanted to make a place where everyone felt safe eating! Fried chicken tenders, fried flounder, barbecue, hot dogs, fried pickles, fried okra! Cake! They have it all! Separate prep area and fryers!

Last weekend, we held my daughter a bridal shower and out of about 30 people attending, I knew at least one person requires Gluten-Free (G-F) food. I ordered a cake for everyone else and a dozen G-F cupcakes from Corner Bakery. They made chocolate cupcakes with emerald green frosting which was beautiful! In addition, they placed G-F, edible pearls on each cupcake! Needless to say, the cupcakes were a huge hit! I returned home with none. The groom's Mom made it a point to tell me how fantastic they were. She said 'I've never eaten anything G-F before, but. I could eat those every day". Thank you Corner Bakery for matching the wedding color perfectly and for such delicious cupcakes. We have more upcoming showers and this "Mom of the Bride" will definitely be back. Wish I were able to give more than 5 stars! Great bakery!

We decided to try out this Walmart location due to the one in Granite Falls never has shelves stocked. The store is not clean inside or out. Never have enough people running a cash register. If your lucky you might find a person in a yellow vest to open a register and sometimes that don't happen. All shoppers don't do self checkout. The Walmart Neighborhood store was clean outside the store and the inside was clean and smelled clean. Product was fresh the meat was pretty and red not gray. Great selections of Specialty foods "gluten free and sugar free ". Kim the lady that checked us out was nice and polite. I let her know how clean the store was how they had a great selection of food products Overall Great experience and I will be shopping at this location again.

Our family has loved Gouda since we moved to Hickory - great food and service, and the gluten-free options have been a welcome choice for a family member that needs it. Unfortunately, Cafe Gouda recently switched all their chicken dishes to use chicken thighs, and...it simply doesn't taste good. The dishes that we loved have really taken a hit in quality since the switch. I hate to cross this restaurant off our list of regular patronage, but until they switch back to chicken breast, we won't be back. We truly hope you switch back soon - or at least give us an option!

Since I had to start my special diet I have had to adjust the way I eat. It's not exciting food but I have to eat all gluten free food now which made me fear I would never get to eat pizza again. I am not sure if other pizza makers offer gluten free crust but Dominos does and it is good. I have to buy two now gf for me and regular for my wife, thanks Dominos.

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Hostess seated her friends ahead of us, the place is not even open for full-capacity dining, and it was dirty. Service was minimal, but probably because the entire waitstaff but one server was outside smoking with the side door open so smoke could come into the restaurant. I ordered gluten-friendly pancakes that came out BURNT. I mean, black as a charcoal, and I asked the waitress to take them back. She said that the manager told her they were supposed to look like that because they are gluten-free. Omg, I must look really stupid! The waitress did take them back and brought me three fresh ones, but the food was all around subpar. The waitress made up for all of the other ridiculousness, but seriously...do not eat here.

Host was very good, friendly and courteous. Waiter was pleasant and attentive. Soup was good. Gluten Free pasta was really bad. It was barely cooked so it was hard and chewy. Manager offered me a free dessert and took off half the price of the meal. Good gesture but need to get the GF cooking right. It simply needs to be cooked more and let the sauce soak in it.

I ate here today since it said that they had gluten-free options. I ordered a sandwich on gluten free bread. The server was very busy and distracted so I told him that I have Celiac disease and could he please ask the kitchen to be careful about cross-contamination. After eating, before we even left I immediately started having stomach pains. They just got worse on the long Ione drive home. I very rarely get these symptoms, so I’m certain that I somehow was served gluten here.

Found a gem while visiting Hickory NC! I'd been craving a good ham sandwich since my visit to Miami this past summer and they did not disappoint with the Goin' Ham Sandwich. Stacked with just the right amount of protein, simple yet super filling. Ashley the owner suggested I go with Swiss cheese since it's not commonly found on vegan menus. Man she was right. Their macaroni salad was nothing extravagant but again just right! The tacos were delicious, we had one of each protein to get a good taste and were blown away with texture and flavor. Only downside is we like spice and since they were just getting situated at their new location there was not a good salsa.Ashley tried to accommodate us with some jalapeños cause she's just awesome but tacos just need a salsa in my book. Gluten-free was a perk on all the "taco meats" We also came back and bought a pound of each the "chicken" which we used to make some chicken in salsa verde Tamales.. totally recommend this hidden gem. Parking is in downtown hickory so it can be a pain but we found a free parking garage just a 2 minute walk from there.

This was my first time at Waterbean Coffee so I didn't know what to expect. I don't usually frequent coffee shops so I didn't know what kinds of food they would have. They were very helpful and answered my questions and helped me choose what to get. The coffee was delicious and I got a gluten free cookie that was very tasty. I've never had a gluten free snack so I was very surprised at how delicious it was. There were 4 of us and we each got something different and everyone was happy with their choice. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy. They even have a piano that I was able to play. We will be glad to go back there again.

I guess sometimes the staff isn't the most welcoming, but that doesn't really bother me. Their to-go time is pretty fast as well, usually only 10-15 minutes.
