Came in for the gluten free cheesesteak as I kept seeing it recommended online. It was a solid sandwich. The GF bread was the best part. The steak and cheese needed a little love, some seasoning, and a little more of it in the sandwich.

Amazing food, outstanding gluten free pizza, service is great we always request Nick he and everyone else is so insanely friendly. We go here every time we are in the city and for a good reason. 10/10 would recommend.

Narrow restaurant with limited seating inside. Line moved quickly and the smell of grilled meat and onions made us hungry. Ordered Sonny’s loaded cheesesteak with onions mushrooms and peppers with onion rings and fries. The sandwich was stuffed with meat and the provolone was gooey. Excellent sandwich and the rings were thick and crispy My wife got the gluten free bun and it was excellent. Highly recommended. We took our sandwiches to a nearby park to eat lunch. My daughter shared her pictures with me for this post

Our server Aidys was excellent! Really made our first time here spectacular! I have a gluten allergy and he was so knowledgeable and patient with my questions. Employee of the month for Aidys! And obviously the food was delicious!

Ate here after the Liberty tour. Fantastic cheesesteak with an excellent gluten free bun, that believe it or not, was the same size as the regular bun. Loved the Old Bay fries as well. Recommend!!

Amy Beliveau

Everything was so delicious 😋. They are very accommodating to food allergies like gluten and dairy. Very attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Everyone was wonderful! Our waitress asked the chef if he could make a meal I wanted gluten free, and they did! It was amazing! Both my husband and I had wonderful time!

During our recent visit to Pennsylvania, my partner and I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic spot that truly exceeded expectations. For a very reasonable price of $59, we enjoyed a delicious spread, including tacos with a side of chili, two burgers with fries, tea, and two waters. One of the standout features was that everything on the menu could be made gluten-free, which was a huge plus for us. The buns on the burgers were especially delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere was just right—not too loud or crowded—creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. A nice touch is the digital payment option on the receipt, where you can easily pay and leave a tip with a code. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and we are definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in the area. If you’re in PA and craving some great food in a comfortable setting, this place is highly recommended! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Was in Philly for two weeks and almost exclusively ate here, since I have Celiac it’s hard to find places that carry gluten free. Food was always great and the customer experience was great. Definitely worth a trip even if it’s just for a shake.

Shannon Torres

Tasty vegan and gluten free options. Get there early if you want the masala dosa.

Dwight Odland

Had a wonderful evening (2.5 hrs) at Amada. Great variety of shared tapas (including gluten free), yummy wine, and excellent and caring service by Amaris in the bar area. Highly recommended!

We always love visiting the Hard Rock, no matter which city we’re in, and this was no exception. The food tasted great, but was a tad expensive when compared to other local restaurants. Also, for gluten-free options, you’re limited to mashed potatoes instead of fries, which isn’t ideal. Where we’re from in the UK, gluten-free fries are available in the Hard Rock, so I don’t know why the same can’t be true in America too. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was everything you’d expect from a Hard Rock.

I had another incredible dinner here yesterday. The experience from start to finish was wonderful. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I have to eat gluten free as a result of a medical diagnosis and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely return to Fork again soon.

The woman working was quite grumpy. The wait was atrocious! And I mean atrocious - 30 minutes for two Philly cheesesteaks and some chips. They mixed up our orders, my husband wanted everything loaded on his and I wanted mine plain with cheese, meat and jalapeño and gluten free bun. They made them backwards but we didn’t dare complain and wait again. I just only ate part of mine. And then felt super hungry afterwards. I also didn’t want to complain because the woman was so grumpy. The chips were great. Google only asks about the table wait, so the table was actually fast to get. But the food order was the slowest I’ve ever had at a market ever!

Lydie Herault

Very warm welcome, varied menu also including gluten-free and vegan options. Good food.

I really wanted to love Luhv’s Vegan Deli, but unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. As a vegan with gluten-free dietary preferences, I was excited to visit a place that specifically advertises being able to accommodate people like me. Their gluten free bread among other gf options has amazing reviews online. That turned out to be far from the truth. When I approached the counter, I was met with immediate attitude from the woman working there. She bluntly told me they couldn’t accommodate my needs and that the only gluten-free option was bread and after what appeared to be nothing short of a desire to not serve me she indicated they also had a chickpea salad. When I politely pointed out that their own menu indicated gluten-free options, she doubled down on the attitude instead of helping me. If your restaurant is going to brand itself as a place that accommodates preferences, then you should actually follow through and at the very least, treat customers with basic respect. Extremely disappointed and will not be returning.

Very good attention from the boy at the checkout. They have gluten-free margherita pizza options, if you want you can add additional ingredients. It is a 12” pizza, approximately 6 slides, very good flavor, the sauce is extraordinary. My friends ordered the meat and the vegan, they looked very good and the prices were excellent. The bad thing is that there are no customer bathrooms on site.

Lisa Moser

Great allergy protocol. They use a clean scoop and open a fresh carton of ice cream. Most of their flavors are gluten free. When I asked which flavors were gluten free, they instead told me which ones DO contain gluten because there were so few! It’s great to have so many options and as a very sensitive/symptomatic celiac, I feel very safe eating here.

We were visiting Philadelphia for the week, and this was our favorite breakfast spot of all the places we tried. The food was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the portion sizes were large. We had two small children and they even loved the food. The breakfast sandwiches are great, and they even have gluten free bagels, which was a big plus for me since I have dietary restrictions. The breakfast potatoes were fantastic, and my Vietnamese iced coffee hit the spot. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and they really made us feel welcome.

Our visit was March 7, 2024 Food and service were excellent. All of our meals arrived quickly and at the appropriate temperature. The flavor and seasonings were perfect. We had a reservation which was very important. There did seem to be open seating at the full service bar. Most items were gluten free. All of the staff were very attentive and friendly. My only suggestion would be to keep the restrooms a bit more tidy. The flan was perfect!
