I went to Taste of Thai for the first time upon recommendation from a friend for having gluten free options. I'm so glad I tried it out. The food was excellent! I had fresh rolls and the Taste of Thai noodle dish with chicken. The flavor of both dishes was fantastic. There was enough for me to take home and have a second meal for lunch. The service I received was great. The lady helped me pick out an entree. She was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was inviting, and the tables are spaced far enough apart that it doesn't feel crowded. I will be back!

Love all the dietary selections - something for everyone! Gluten free available, dairy free available! Vegetarian! The salsa is so delicious!! The cocktails are fantastic too!

Katie Greene

Ben was our server he provided amazing service and ensured my gluten allergy was handled so I could safely enjoy my sushi. Everything was delicious and fresh.

I have Celiac Disease, and in the past I have been to Uni and it has been a very accommodating business. They have, previously, been very good about keeping things safe for people with my dietary needs. Unfortunately, this no longer seems to be the case. If you are a person with dedicated gluten-free needs, I recommend looking elsewhere. It is not worth the risk of destroying your gut.

Merry Stanford

The food is really tasty, and they are good at knowing what is gluten free (nearly everything.)

Kara Tripi

Strange Matter is a must-visit for anyone on Michigan State's campus. This women/queer owned coffee shop offers a delightful selection of beverages and treats, with a special focus on vegan and gluten-free options. The staff, especially Eli and Tristan, are always friendly and helpful. Eli is fantastic to work with for campus events, and Tristan's cheerful demeanor makes every visit a pleasure. If you're visiting campus, be sure to stop by the Union and check out Strange Matter!

Brooke Elward

Five Guys in general: great gluten free options with a burger in a lettuce wrap or bowl. Fries are GF and delicious, even better Cajun style This location: no milkshakes here. Can have slow service when college students aren’t in town. Love it still (and all the extra bag fries)

Miranda Zoumbaris

We always have a great experience especially as a family with 2 Celiacs. It’s one of my daughter’s favorite spots.

Heather Zach

Cannot say enough about this place! So good, and the ability to make it different each time you go is wonderful! Never a disappointment! Being able to eat a variety of gluten free options is a bonus!!

Ryan Cragg

They have a gluten free pizza and it's actually pretty good.

Jeffrey Parker

Jeffery Brennan

Great service: A large group of us went after a women’s gymnastic meet on a Friday night & the manager knew how to handle a group of over 70 people who just showed up at 7:45 pm. Manager opened up a back room & diverted a few servers to our group. Great food: pizza was very good. Several with dairy & gluten allergies found good alternative options - chicken caesar salad, another type of salad with chicken, & burgers. All good. only a few left over slices to take home!

Isabel Rose

Amazing place, knows how to deal with food allergies (Peanut/tree nut) and has gluten free, vegetarian, and dairy free options! Food was wonderful and everyone was very accomodating. My new favorite place!

Spencer Novick

Pretty good food at decent prices. Staff are nice and quick. Also very accommodating for my friend with a gluten allergy.

Emma Daley

Very loud music, good beers if you like sours and IPAs but not much beyond that. Food was okay, not great. They do have gluten free pizza options.

Sally

Picked up 2 gluten free pies. They were delicious!

Sadie Earegood

The gluten free menu IS NOT GLUTEN FREE. I had a SEVERE allergic reaction tonight even though I ordered from the list of "gluten free" options. 1/16/25.

Rebecca Butcher-Rivera

This is my #1 Middle Eastern restaurant. I visit every time I'm in Lansing! Been eating where since I was a little kid. So good I get food to eat and food to go - I especially love the lentil and rice soup, which I swear gets better as it sits in the fridge. Other highlights: baba ganouj, the vegan rice pudding, hashwi. Always a plus that all vegan and gluten free options are clearly labeled. And they were very helpful with my husband's dairy and nut allergies. I just wish the falafel was GF, I miss it so much.

Jeff Nowak

Great menu. Even for picky eaters. Celiac Friendly too. My only complaint was portion size. Could have added a little more to the bowl.

ChewThenReview

They have gluten-free options available at a pub which was a pleasant surprise, we went to visit on vacation from the desert and didn't have our warm clothes and the staff offered me and my girlfriend both sweaters and gloves for free. They went above and beyond. 😊

Ambrose

They had gluten-free sushi and seemed very knowledgeable about what I could have as someone with celiac, the prices were great and the sushi was very good. Also Nolan was a great host.

Andrew Hennessy

Sophia Potter

Finally visited the other day and was not disappointed! The food (and prices) were awesome. I was surprised and excited to find they have gluten free wraps as well as salads, so there are many Celiac options. Service was very fast as well-perfect for a quick lunch break stop. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

Gabby E Wahla

The staff is so nice and really cared about my gluten allergy to try and make sure none of the latte ingredients had gluten! The latte was so good and the cafe itself is gorgeous!

Krista Sherman

Food was cooked perfectly, but menu could have more gluten free options.

Melodie McDorman

I'm celiac and the waitress must not have understood and set a slice of bread on my salad .. other wise it was great!! And the waitress was attentive

Diane Fleser

Gluten free crust is subpar but my family enjoyed their slices.

LaurenandTyler Rhoads

The food here was excellent. The server was helpful and polite. I have to eat a low FODMAP diet with gluten allergy and have a tuna allergy. They were accommodating in this and used steamed rice for the rolls. Plus they used shrimp in their Alaska roll instead of crabstick. Will absolutely eat here again.

Maddox Rowland

This restaurant is great about food allergies and intolerances. I am gluten free and was delighted to find a restaurant with gluten free sounds sauce!

What a wonderfully refreshing find is The Morning Post. Food is unique compared to most other breakfast places and very healthy. Fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. Lots of gluten free options that are easily incorporated into your meals. For instance, because eggs Benedict needs an English muffin, that is substituted here with a polenta cake. So no need to limit options so much as other places. Service was helpful , friendly, and pleasant. Overall a great place.

Marylee Trevino

I had a delicious hamburger on a gluten free bun.

Maddie Norris

5 stars isn’t enough for this Biggby location! My husband comes here every morning for breakfast/a drink and has the best experience. Everyone that works here is so sweet, works quickly, and is attentive to detail. The food (my husband loves the bragels) is good/filling and there is something unique about their drinks, they just taste more handcrafted than other coffee shops. I’m gluten free, so I typically don’t get to enjoy food from coffee shops as they’re most often pastries/bread products, but Biggby carries a packaged gluten free brownie that is great, especially with a peppermint mocha around the holidays! This Biggby location is conveniently located right off MSU campus and is a valued part of the community!
