Ordered 7 pizzas for a party Thursday nights. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT 😡😡 My favorite place since Jimmy & Bobo in Stamford. Been to Norwalk location about 60 times NEVER had a bad experience before till Thursday. Where to begin 1.) Pizza size shrunk. They were rolling around in the boxes. 2.) Crust was so thin almost see through 3.) Never had grease in the box before all hives had grease 4.) My wife ordered salad pizza gluten free crust no cheese or sauce. Came with hardly any lettuce 🥬 and crust was only thick well this time it was soft and paper thin looked like made out of phyllo dough. Well I hate when people cut corners and obviously this happened here 😡😡 I will give you one more chance or Pepe’s & Sally’s in Fairfield

The best Indian food restaurant in the US. It is like home cooking, visiting my relatives in India. But right down the street! Great selection. High quality ingredients. Great for gluten allergies. Very nice atmosphere. Friendly local owners.

PAUL HILL

First time visit over the weekend. A very enjoyable evening for 4(2 couples). Very spacious with plenty of seating. Choice of tables, booths, high tables and very large bar. It you're lucky enough to get the server Krystle(K no A) you will definitely enjoy your evening. She explained ordering process and suggested gluten free items on the menu. The food also didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this establishment.

Love eating in the outdoor sand filled patio. Great margaritas and gluten free Arepas. The empenadas are also amazing if you do gluten.

Upset I have a gluten allergy, I noted that but they still put gluten on my food had to eaten that I would’ve been super sick

Chelsea Clemens

Good classic diner, great place to take kids as well! Food is fresh/ good quality! Easy on/off exit 14 we come from stamford on the weekends! Kids always finish their food and have fun. My husband and I love our food too- they even have allergen-free options such as gluten free. Gluten free pancakes are very good! Staff are all super nice and place is family oriented ! Happy to have found a new spot 😊

Chris

This was a great stop on the way home for lunch. Our child has Celiac and this restaurant has some good gluten free options. Walking in and smelling the wood burning in the stove set a good tone. The inside was beautiful with rustic touches. Our service was very good thanks to Ramone. The food was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for a good meal or needing to eat gluten free with confidence.

Marc Nevas

Some people say that this is the best pizza in Connecticut. Based on my own experiences here, I would not disagree. Each time I have ordered a pizza here, it comes out flawless and they have a wonderful gluten-free crust, which is a rare find.

Ash A

Gluten free dairy free options. Tasty food full of flavor.

Ed Mig

My wife and I have been here several times and the food and service are outstanding! The best part? They offer MANY Gluten-Free options! While they do operate a 'mixed' kitchen where glutenous dishes are also pepared, My wife has Celiac disease, and she has had absolutely no issues! Its also set in a fun and friendly atmosphere. If you love Chinese regional cuisines, ​ you will not be disappointed!

Michele Abercrombie

Great gluten free pizza

gwen plumert

Very good glutenfree pizza

AMY K

Wow am I impressed. Came in last week first time where durd a cauliflower gluten free crust and that was the best margarita pizza I have ever had. Alex and his staff are fabulous. I'll be back this week

B.J. Bellock

Excellent gluten free pizza.

Mikaila Scotto

This place is so cool! Felt like I stepped into the 50's! Staff is incredibly friendly and super helpful. It was quite busy when we got here but we got a seat no problem. Food came quickly and the portions were huge. They even have gluten free options!!! I was so excited to see that!! I got pancakes, something I've never been able to get at a restaurant as someone with a gluten intolerance! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cute little diner experience.

Allan DeYoung

Very tasty, plentiful and great value. Enjoyed the Gyro lamb on rice with lots of yummy sides/toppings. Also, a gluten free chicken dish!

Tsvi Tannin

Really fantastic. Everyone was nice and the manager was extra careful of my girlfriend's gluten allergy. Will definitely be coming back!

Sam Bath

The service was great, the food was awesome. They have a very good selection of gluten free food. We have two people in our family that have Siliacs, and the owner personally made recommendations to ensure our entire family could enjoy their experience.

Chuck Hermann

Limited selection of gluten free items, but what I did eat was good. The restaurant is large and has a diverse set of customers - some for bocci, some for bowling and some for dinner. This lead to a lot of activity and movement all around and a relatively high noise level. Not good or bad, just what is was.

Olympia Bordelon

Wow. Nicest owner and working team. I can’t wait to go back. Gluten free/vegan crust was unbelievable

Ariana Frank

Fantastic restaurant! So many gluten free options, the fresh corn tortillas make a huge difference. Wonderful cocktail selection with a really impressive selection of mezcal. The vibe was fun and I’ll definitely be back!

Marti Cruz

First time visiting last night. Say out on the patio. Food was great. Ropa Vieja , avocado quinoa salad and Parrillada de carne all were great! Service was very attentive. Almost everything was gluten free which was fantastic as I have a severe allergies and had no reaction. We will return!

Emmy F

Meh. Looked and smelled great, but just bland. Sauce is plain, crust is lame. Tried both regular and gluten free.

Jason D

JB's has some pretty good thin crust pizza. One of my favorite places to go. Besides regular crust pizza they also have gluten free and cauliflower crusts. They have really good chicken wings in an array of sauces. You can order trays of wings or any other food for party's if you want to. They are also a deli so they have sandwiches, entrees, sides, salads, and breakfast. Definitely should try this place out!

MPD

Ummm, love the Big-D with bacon crumbles. Gluten-free bun is delish too! Been going to Dutchess for over 40 years, and still great.

Aaron

Stopped here on a whim and despite the atmosphere and looks from the curb, this place was awesome! Looks can definitely be deceiving. More than just dog friendly, they brought our four-legged friend plenty of water and were super nice to her. They had a great selection of food and everything we had was delicious! Plenty of customizable options to get your burger exactly how you want it, including gluten-free buns! The staff frequently checked on us, and when my family accidentally started to drive off without me, someone came to check on me and I'm pretty sure they'd have offered me a ride somewhere! All in all, would definitely drop back in.

Todd Esperance

My family and I went to Greer on NYE and we had a wonderful experience. Kendall and the entire staff was attuned to our needs. Food was excellent, we kept saying “it’s so good”. This place is welcoming to couples and families. My only feedback is that I would like to see more gluten free options on the future. Would recommend.

Dana Berwick

Really good coffee. They offer gluten free cookies, cake, and crepes.

Food of CT

This was our first time visiting BanC house, and we were impressed with so many things here! First, the menu is incredible. There are so many great choices, some unique ones at that, and it was nice to see how many gluten-friendly options there were too. Whether you’re looking for BBQ or seafood, you’re in for a treat. Everything is fresh, and the portions are extremely generous for the price! We felt like we were eating somewhere down south with how exceptional the bbq dishes were. The service also stood out to us - not only were the servers attentive, but we also tried the crab legs, and the they were kind enough to show us the best way to eat them. Very nice vibe in the dining room, and the covered patio and bar areas looked cozy too. All around a great experience!

Shamyrah Torres

Geeked this place exists bc I eat a strict gluten free diet. I got the GF special combo that comes with nuggets and your choice of a side (I got onion rings). The food is so nicely battered and fried and the chicken juicy and tender and I like their options. The only thing that turned me off was the seasoning. It was so salty that my onion rings were inedible due to them being on the top of the bag and catching all the seasoning.

Diane Peters

They’re the only restaurant in Norwalk that I know of that offer gluten-free sweet potato fries!!

Milton Jackson

steve cuff

Best gluten-free (cauliflower) crust I’ve had!

(Alli) The Gluten Free Gal’s Guide

Gluten free gelato and gluten free cones. Orders are not prepared in a separate area so there is a chance of cross-contamination (scoop may come in contact with a “gluten full” cone/brioche)

Lexi G

Clean dining! Great staff! Fresh ingredients! Gluten and dairy free smoothies.

Mike Fabrizio

First Jimmy John's experience, and it did not disappoint. I have celiacs and went for the unwich, it was great. The drive thru is a plus!

Tyler Pascucci

My experience here was amazing. It was a wonderful night and atmosphere. The owner and his wife each came over to my table to welcome us and thank us for coming in. They were really pleasant and lovely people. The food was fantastic, cooked perfectly, and had great flavors. The chef was able to cater to my gluten allergy really well and I felt confident I was not only being taken care of by the staff, but also by the kitchen. The level of care and desire for excellence was very apparent. I highly recommend trying this restaurant. You won’t be disappointed! #supportsmallbusinesses

Emiline Chipman

Everything was super flavorful. The mapo tofu has excellent schezuan flavor. A great choice for gluten-free, dairy-free eaters. Lots of vegetarian options and flavorful vegetable dishes in general. A bit salty, but seasoned appropriately for eating with rice.

alicia alba

If you are looking for an outdoor cafe in South Norwalk, with gluten free and vegetarian options this is always our top choice. Love the brussel sprouts with feta drizzled with honey. The Scallop entree is also delicious.

Marion R

Excellent food and even better service. Have someone in the group with celiac allergy who had steak.

S Ann

I really love this restaurant. I've been 3 times and they have been consistent with such friendly and attentive staff, their sauce is fantastic! I'm gluten free and am hooked on the pasta Primavera. My mom has had soup and salad, ravioli and penne and meatballs. Haven't been disappointed with anything. Sundays they have a great band from 12-3. We really have good things all around to say about it.

Hana Appel

Update from August 2024: still same but my order was supposed to have refried black beans and it didn’t. Did not have time to send it back. Server was nice. Still not a ton of vegetarian options but it seems they alter to make something vegetarian. Not sure if the gluten-free food is safe for celiacs. Loved it and would go back. Portions are large. Appetizer portion was enough for an entree for me. We went on a quiet early weekday lunch. One negative is the loud music and too many TV screens on the wall but maybe no such screens in the other section of the restaurant.

Paul Hunter

Delicious food with gluten free options. Great service and ambience .

Mia Fish

We had a delightful lunch here last week. Our waiter was very helpful. We were about to leave because they don’t list any gluten free items and I’m seriously allergic to gluten. The waiter told us some things that never ever come in contact with gluten. I’m so glad he took the initiative to help us. The presentation was beautiful. Salads just delicious! We will be back.

Adam Bierman

I picked up a large take-out order for a birthday dinner and the food was top notch. I had a seafood platter which was both delicious and seemingly gluten free. While we did take out this time it seems like a great place to take your family. While waiting for our order I enjoyed listening to live music -- some ballads played on a guitar by a solo performer -- and I recorded some of the tunes on my phone to play for our guests while we ate at home.

Ash A

Great gluten free pizza, loved there salad on top. Greek dressing is out of this world. Quick order pick up, friendly service!

Darren Plateroti

Popped up on our Uber Eats app, and it was a wonderful suggestion. The portions were huge, the food was actually hot, even the cauliflower pizza, which was delicious by the way, and with the Veal Francaise with Gluten Free pasta. Well done.
