I absolutely love this place for my gluten free/dairy free diet. My only concern is it's a bit over priced. $19 for a grilled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun and sweet potato fries. We come here once a year because the prices are more affordable at Chick-fil-A for a grilled gluten free chicken sandwich. But Chubby's sandwich is delicious! So we keep coming back!

I have really started to LOVE this restaurant and seem to get it at least 2 times a month. The prices are reasonable and the salads are always fresh and delicious. I really appreciate having a gluten free bun option for sandwiches! My family also enjoys the fried pickles, French fries, and chicken. I really don’t think we’ve disliked anything we ordered!

The breadsticks were a bit dry and not enough spaghetti sauce with meat on the gluten free pasta. The salad was and I love unlimited salad. I brought the rest of it home and will eat it for 2-3 days!

As an individual, I appreciate McAlister's for the tasty, quality food that includes great healthy options. There are also options for my friend who is has allergies to gluten and corn. I have also done a few catering orders with McAlister's and they have been FANTASTIC every time. I suggest it to others often. It's always delivered on time, the order is accurate, and the person delivering helped us get everything set up.

Delicious food at a economical price. I ordered shrip and vegetables and was delightfully surprised. I received jumbo shrimp and plenty of vegetables. Soup and egg roll was included for $8.00. Very fair price and the food was delicious. This is a sit-down restaurant with no buffet. Staff were friendly. Tables are covered with a white tablecloth, folded cloth napkins, and goblets for water. Atmosphere was quiet with dimly lit seating locations. I've been back again already and will visit again the next time I'm in the area. Cook was able to accommodate my Gluten insensitivity (minis egg roll).

I Like that they offer some gluten free options. I could hardly finish my food though because they put way too much sauce on it and it was so salty.

We have eaten at Relish Cafe for dinner, but this was our first breakfast experience. We do live in the local area, and chose Relish for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The staff was very attentive, and our breakfast was excellent. We both chose the omelets with gluten-free toast. (I forgot to take pictures) They also have a bakery counter with takeout.

This place is adorable and the flavors and textures are perfect! It's too rare to find such flavorful, colorful breakfast options! There are even KETO and Gluten Free choices clearly labeled on the menu. The service was excellent and the decor was very cute and cozy. We called ahead and they had a spot ready by the time we arrived from Goshen. PS Is there any way we could get a Tipsy Biscuit in Goshen?

Great at honoring special requests. I have celiac disease and cannot eat gluten and their fries haven't gave me any problems yet. Where as some fast food places like kfc give me issues with their fries. Arbys does a great job at customer service,

Great place!!! Certainly a hidden gem in the north Elkhart area. Def a place worth going out of the way for. I love their medium roasts and gluten-free blueberry muffins. The seating is always comfy and temp always right. They also have MERCH now. I’m gonna probably buy all of it. Ha! :) #happycoffeeday

Love this place come here at least twice a month. Great drinks and amazing sweets. Can be a little loud at times but that's no fault to the business itself. Highly recommend to all who like a modern chill spot even if you don't like coffee they will have something you enjoy. Vegi and gluten free options too!!!

I wanted to share that the cashier that had his hair pulled back in a bun with a nose piercing went above and beyond while having my food prepared. I have a gluten sensitivity and I really appreciate him having the lady make my sandwich change her gloves. He also checked to see if a sauce on one of the wraps had gluten in it. Exceptional service!

We were in town for an event. I have celiac (gluten allergy) which makes eating out very difficult and risky. But, they have a good selection allergen safe menu and best of all I can eat the chips here, because they have their own fryer. Sadly the Warsaw store which is near me doesn't. Our server was awesome! It was 10pm when we arrived ( they close at 11pm) service was beyond great.. We didn't feel rushed and When our server found out I couldn't have chips at my store she sent me home with a big bag.. It's been four days and still no sign of cross contamination.. Thank you all for taking my allergy seriously.. We will be back!
