The gentleman who was working seemingly alone was extremely helpful, the place was clean and cozy, and the food was amazing. Great selection, very tasty, and the menu included vegan and gluten-free items; my sister is allergic to gluten, eggs, and all things bovine, and she loves pizza, which makes Your Pie a dream come true for the family.

I eat at Culver's rarely because I am not into yogurt. Also the burgers are so greasy that the bottom bun is soaked. I don't like that. Not today. It was dry and I loved it. My GF was able to get gluten free food also. She liked hers sandwich. It would be nice if they had more than one toilet. One sit down is it. Not enough. People travel and dine in and it holds about 50 people. Yep a line. Not fun. Other than that it was great. I would go back there.

One of the only places my daughter can eat, because of her food allergies with soy and gluten, she absolutelyloves their Quesadillas and bowls! I really like their buffalo chicken burritos, sooo good! Only downside is they have but two locations in Cedar Falls and Waterloo, PLEASE make your next one in Waverly or better still Shell Rock 😉

Love the music here. I've been here several times. The staff are super friendly and the food is good. I have Celiac disease. I've tried the gluten free taco, sausage, and pepperoni pizzas. My favorite is the pepperoni. I have it several times, and I have not gotten sick from contamination.

This place met expectations. Food and service was good. Refills didn't come for anyone who didn't finish their drink before the food was served and those who did only got one refill. Restaurant was clean and wateress did take a picture of our gathering for us. I can see going back there in the future as it's the half way point from some family in Minnesota. They do have gluten free options which was important to us.

Fantastic little pizza place. Very nice laid back atmosphere. We tried one of each crust. The Neapolitan was large and great for our kid, we shared a Detroit supreme that was fantastic, and the gluten-free eater in our family was very pleased with her mushroom pie. Simple menu, and easy ordering. Gluten-free is not listed on the menu but if you call or ask in person they can make it.

My first Kombucha bar! Exceeded expectations. Wish weather was dry to play corn hole. Everything from decor to style to taste to flavors were on point. I love being able to order food that I usually can't eat because of gluten and dairy, the gluten free fried chicken, crisp & juicy, not greasy. I felt welcomed from the moment we walked in the door.
