We had a party of 13 people 3 of them children age ranging 2 years to only a few months. Our server Shannon was a rock star. Very friendly, very helpful when it came to a couple friend’s dietary needs, and all around great service. The food was also excellent. My wife has Celiacs diease and their gluten free crust combined with the kitchen staffs attention to not cross contaminating was a big plus for us. We will definitely be returning!

I have celiacs disease and Jamie did a great job in helping me feel safe when having my gluten free pizza. Pizza was excellent! He paid attention to the details. Much appreciated and we will be back.

Portions here are very good and food was delicious. I got gluten free pancakes and was impressed they tasted and looked pretty normal. The stand alone tables are a little crowded but our waiter was great and we had a good experience!

Emily Roarks

Wonderful experience! My husband and I used to frequently the champaign location often before they closed so I was very excited to try the Bloomington location and it did not disappoint! We had two small issues. One with some dirty Silverware and one with undercooked salmon and the wait was AMAZING! He was quick to fix the issue and very kind. The vegetable banana curry was amazing and my husband's bacon and egg burger looked delicious! They had quite a few gluten free options so that was also a plus! 10/10 recommended, we will definitely be coming back.

Dallas King

Fantastic as always! Love that there are gluten free options as well!

Brian Huonker

Decent chicken sandwich. Has gluten free buns as well.

Great food and accommodation for gluten free

Blono pizza Co. is a great spot for food, drinks, and entertainment! The atmosphere is lively, with fun activities such as golf and mini bowling which can make for a great, competitive way to spend the night out with friends. Their smoked wings are a must-try, and the gluten free pizza is packed with flavor. A huge shoutout to Silvana the bartender—she’s amazing! Friendly, attentive, and always making sure everyone has a great time. She truly enhances the experience here.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants in the world. We wandered in to Medici on a cold Friday at lunchtime in late November. The consistently good music was an instant comfort. Everything we ordered was excellent and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the gluten-free pizza. It comes in medium and is plenty for 2-4 people. The cheese, toppings, and crust were gorgeous. The reuben, truffle fries, and pretzel sticks were terrific. The drinks, though. Don't pass on the frozen lemonade or the tea! I can't wait to go back.

Haven't ate there in 10 years almost, still the same great items and service. Went in around 1pm today. GLUTEN FREE Best bread there is if you're GF

I’m always happen when restaurants have vegan options. And they even have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free prominent on their digital menu inside. It was nice to see so many vegan options. I ordered take out, the food was mostly good. I’m not a fan of their style of fries with the extra coating. Also, it would have been nice to see ketchup packets available. (I may have missed them which is why I had to ask for them.) I still recommend this place for anyone who needs vegan food.

Best meal I’ve had out in a long time. I had the cornmeal pancakes and they are probably the most unique and complex meal I’ve eaten locally. It was like something made on Top Chef that would make all of the judges go nuts. Sweet and savory for the win with pulled pork, house blackberry jam, almonds, walnuts, cinnamon butter, chipotle maple syrup & green onions. The blackberry jam wasn’t super sweet and added the perfect amount of acidity to tie it all together. Lastly a bit of spiciness was the chef’s kiss for me. I got them because they are gluten free and the whole time I ate them I didn’t miss regular pancakes at all. These were actually better. Service was great and the place was packed but they were moving people in and out no problem. Only complaint was that there were so many people packed into such a small space that it was almost too loud to have a conversation. I think everyone was yelling over each other and there were a couple of times I felt nauseous at how loud it was. That is a me problem, though. My sensitivity to noise is probably not the norm. The crowd was just a testament to how great the food is here.

My first experience with this wonderful shop today - - warning, the flavors can be addicting! As I savored the Blue Bowl, I believe, I found myself wondering how to get to Normal and still manage work/travel requirements in Central IL. The bowl was so balanced in flavors and refreshing with fresh, sweet strawberries and acai. Amber is a delight, store manager, and very knowledgeable and engaged in growing her knowledge of nutrition and proper management of food prep necessary in addressing allergy concerns. I have gluten and soy sensitivities and I know I was in the best of hands through Amber's expertise and the menu, as constructed. Everyone in the area should look forward to the store's planned food truck, rolling sometime in March 2025! Thank you, Amber, for my being able to enjoy, such a delight, worry-free.

Amazing Gluten Free pizza! They had a lot of topping options and you even get to pick rice or potato for the crust! The staff were incredible and very polite. Absolutely loved my experience with Firehouse.

I love this place. It's a great place for me to eat with my celiac disease!

We were passing through Bloomington and decided to check out jack’s and enjoyed our meal. We ordered the hummus plate which was flavorful, had great fresh veggies and the pita was warm and soft. We also ordered the pomegranate & goat cheese salad which was tangy but a bit over dressed (raisins and walnuts and pomegranate and beets). The chicken and lamb skewers were our final dish. Both were good. The meat could have used more seasoning/sauce but the veggies were great. The chicken was very moist. The lamb a bit over cooked. The price for the hummus and salad was a bit high but the quality overall was good. (Menu is clearly labeled gluten free)

Excellent gluten free pizza great cheese

Jennifer Pleiman

No frills place with authentic Mexican food. Large menu with gluten free options indicated. We had the red chicken enchiladas and Carne asada burrito. Both were very good. Nothing fancy, but a good, decently priced meal.

Shelli Webster

Gluten free noodle options keep me coming back.

Brian Simmons

What an awesome experience. My mocha was done well. The baked goods were delicious. I had the cinnamon roll and my sister had a monster cookie. Both very good. They heated them up slightly. The people working were friendly and helpful. The place was clean. I could say goodbye to Starbucks forever with this being local. Plus, they have gluten free options. Thanks for a great cup of coffee and positive experience.

Nick C

Great gluten free options, multiple kinds of gf crust! Very friendly staff and overall great place!

Brian Huonker

It's food... better than average. But I do have ti say their chili on a back potato is pretty good in a pinch. And, gluten-free.

Valerie Taylor

Great Subs and healthy gluten free options

Myka McGane

Sushi at a Mexican restaurant- I know, right? But this is legitimately the best spot for low key sushi. Way better than Kobe, and you don't have to get dressed and wait for a table like anju. It's way higher quality than you would imagine for a spot like this, and the staff is extremely accommodating. I have celiac and have never been sick- either from shady fish or cross contamination- and I eat here twice a week. Go for it!

Raymond Sevier

My wife says they have her favorite gluten free crust. The gluten crusts are decent as well.

Audrey Jo Ranniger

The food is absolutely incredible & you can tell the entire staff is thrilled to be there. Nothing like this place in town! Plenty of vegan options as well as gluten free options so just about anyone can order something delicious. Your money will be definitely well spent!
