They make my gluten free pizza with other substitutions without complaint. Love their pizza!

Been here twice because their GLUTEN FREE pizza is so good! Their crust is amazing and thin and not to the point of hard that some pizzas are impossible to chew on.

Gabi Disraeli-Rosa

We love Craigo’s! Affordable, quick, and great service. Best gluten free pizza in Austin. It’s great to be able to order a gluten free pizza that is large enough to feed 2-3 people.

Andrew Collins

This place is amazing. A must go to for anyone with celiac or that wants awesome food

Katie Brewer

Oh man. So good. Many gluten free options. The onion pakoda was absolutely AMAZING! A must- seriously. I got the Millionaire’s Curry. So good. I got mild and was still sweating so just know it packs a kick. My husband got the tikka masala and said it was to die for. Try this place! Def get the onion pakoda!!!

Ok, we all know what we're getting when we go to Chick-fil-A. The service is legendary, we get it. I would like to point out what Brennan did during my most recent visit, which I really appreciate. I got a Dr. Pepper and a coke, they look pretty similar, so Brennan pushed down the little buttons on the lid to differentiate which one was which. Honestly I think he just does this, every time. This is the difference between Chick-fil-A and every other fast food. The details, the effort, the care. Sure the food is good, the spicy chicken is just the right amount of spicy, the waffle fries are delicious, the gluten free buns are an option, but they're individually wrapped for celiacs, the list goes on and on. This. This is why you go to Chick-fil-A. I digress... Thank you Brennan, you really made my day with something that is probably just a habit to you now.

Mousse bar would be a more appropriate name. That said, I ordered a cheesecake topped with sole cobbler and a snickerdoodle mousse affogato. Both were enjoyable though sweet. They offer gluten free options, mousse, cheesecake, coffee and tea. The interior is SUPER cute and they have a shelf of games next to the fireplace.

I love this place. They have so many vegan/vegetarian and gluten free options! Each time I go there, I feel like I am eating delicious and healthy. The falafel and lentil soup are the best! Highly recommended!

Sky Nett

10/10 reccomend! Even while busy, they answered every question I had with delight. The food portions to price are definitely there. Very affordable! The service was better than great, and the atmosphere was cozy and chill. They have a grocery style section on each side with lots of great vegan packaged foods that you won't find many places. They have soy free and gluten-free options. Oh! And Indian food options!

Rezwan Huda

Super fast service, food is consistently good and reasonably priced. They mark gluten free carefully on their menu and are knowledgeable when you ask questions on cross contamination (gluten)

Ad Fortune

Great food! Ordered take out and turns out they have many gluten free options.. and really good ones! Authentic thai food! Safe for celiacs and vegetarians. Tasty dishes! Tom Kha is great- look forward to trying their gluten free dumplings next time- they forgot them in my order this time, but offered to refund. The spice levels are good, but going to ask for spicier next time. Glad they let you choose.

Was looking for pizza places in South Austin that also do vegan. Saw this place and was highly recommended on Google. Went on a Sunday evening and the menu is clearly labeled what is meat and what is veggies but love they have gluten free, wheat, and vegan cheese for anyone who can't eat meat or who's diet won't let them. The place looks very much stuck in the 80s which is awesome, it didn't seem very busy but we did wait awhile before getting part of our order. Besides the slower service, the food was actually good. Very greasy (if that's your thing) but good. I definitely want to try their deep dish next but for the thin crust, i did enjoy it. I had the spicy Hawaiian calzón and it was very cheesy but gloriously good for what I wanted. I do recommend this place for vegans and vegetarians as they have options for both especially with the vegan cheese option. I will note some of the veggie toppings felt like they were canned or pickled so not sure if 100% fresh.

I’ve had consistently great experiences here. The food has great flavor, especially the dishes with the smoked chicken (ex: chicken fajita tacos). Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. Helpful and accommodating of wheat free / gluten free diets. Fair pricing, clean and festive restaurant.

Scott

Slow, rude, ignorant of allergens (gluten-free seitan? 🤣, too lazy to look them up, unhelpful

donovan b

Amazing food, but be careful if you have any food allergies because the waiter specifically said he could not guarantee that anything had no dairy in it and no gluten.

Samantha

It's my first time in Austin, visiting for a business day trip. Since I am allergic to gluten and almonds it's difficult to find yummy nutritional food on the road. This place delivered above and beyond!! Delicious donuts and I grabbed a Georgia peach tea to perk up before afternoon meetings! Highly recommend!!

Aaron Yuhas

I get Bamboo Bistro pretty often and it’s very consistently delicious! It’s awesome having a place that does delivery which also caters to vegan and gluten free folks. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful.

Lisa H

Beautiful new second location. Service blew me away. They were so concerned my shouldn’t be too spicy for me they proactively brought sauce for me to taste to make sure it was what I wanted. They also noted my gluten allergy at check in and were very cognizant of it throughout. Every restaurant should provide this kind of service! And the food was just as good if not better than the zilker location. Tasty and fresh.

Patricia Turner

Very tasty and they have some gluten free menu items.

Yanni Yanni

First time there and it is now my favorite cafe/coffee place to go to! The decor is cool & spacious and the folks who work there are sweet and down to earth. The Chai latte with soy (my favorite) was outstanding! Plus it had foam and in a big cup! The veggie burger on gluten free roasted and buttered bread was soooo delicious. My friend had the Chicken Penne and loved it. We Shall Return!

Erin Rusek

Giving 3 stars because although I didn't try the food, I couldn't. There were no gluten free options for people with allergies or with Celiac. The guy at the front was actually great and steered me away from eating there. Props! I was told the entire kitchen was cross contaminated, so seriously, CELIACS BEWARE!!! I used to love going to thundercloud because they actually had safe gluten free options, but apparently their allergen standards have just gotten very lax. I hope they consider going back so celiacs and those with allergies can enjoy their subs again.

My adult daughter and I decided to try somewhere new. It was a good choice. The server made all the difference too. She was very friendly and informative about the gluten free options. The atmosphere was nice, the food was plentiful and delicious. Thank you CUBA512! 11-09-19

Marcy Lundgren

Absolutely FANTASTIC!! We only did take out but it was phenomenal. They offer gluten free fried catfish!! Cooked literally to perfection like my momma used to make. I'm from out of town but can't wait to visit again because I'll definitely be back. While we waited outside for our food this place was hoppin with business so they must be doing something right! Love it!

Myra Douglass

I love this place. It is without doubt my favorite restaurant in Austin. I've tried all the other Indian places in Austin and this is the most authentic/home cooked style I've found- I had a roommate from India for years and miss his home cooking so much- this place fits the bill. Lots of good vegetarian and gluten free options, but great meat dishes too. Love the pickled veggies and sauces they make here especially.

Scott Ihrig

Great customer service and excellent taste! I love that they have food and you can grab a sandwich with you juice or smoothie and make it a meal with gluten free options!

Geraldine Smythe

A fun night out with my son and a terrific meal with super service from Metin. He was very concerned and checked back in with me a couple of times about my meal as I am gluten free and my menu for the all you can eat was limited as they pre marinade a lot in regular soy sauce (not gluten free). Yep, wheat is in everything! Metin recommended white fish, brisket, and garlic chicken for me and the fish was especially excellent 👌. Thank you for making it a great night to remember with my son on a rare night out together! We both had a fabulous time and he loved the protein challenge of the classic menu!

Sarah Morrell

I’m not gluten free, but the cauliflower crust is 💯. The service is incredible. Nehemiah, the owner, is so down to earth and his pizza tastes incredible. It’s a go to spot- you won’t regret getting pizza from here!

Giselle Sanchez

It has been hard for me to find a good Venezuelan place in the states. Sabor Venezolano is definitely the best one. I totally recommend to go here if you want to experience good Venezuelan food ☺️ Also to mention there is a large variety of Gluten free options and dairy free by request.

Sara Reeves

Happy to have this famous crew in a brick and mortar in the neighborhood. Always loved the truck at Cosmic. Had the 2 meat 2 side plate with brisket (only available on Saturdays) and the flat iron beef (that’s basically brisket). And to be honest with an additional $3 premium on brisket, the flat iron is just as good and available all week. The sides were refried beans and chori-papas. The potatoes were a clear winner. But the refried beans had a surprising amount of cumin for my taste. We also had the gyro taco. The flavors of the taco were maybe the best bite of the meal, but the tortilla was a miss. It was strangely hard and crispy and had the feel of someone trying to make a flour tortilla gluten free. The sides of pickles and onions were delicious, but the house sliced white bread is overly sweet. It tasted like dessert. I will still 100% be back to try all the other menu items that looked so delicious and to enjoy the outdoor picnic tables in the sun.

Michael Barker

Great first experience!! Friendly staff who made great suggestions for gluten free options.

Kelly Taliaferro

Quick access off the highway and has a drive thru! Note that this is a great place to get GF, DF, and lots of vegetables. The fryer for the chips is dedicated gluten free! The corn tortillas are gluten free. One of the staff said his friend is celiac and eats here. Great fast, casual restaurant that's very accommodating to what you want on your tacos, bowls, salads, etc. The staff were so nice and all the food had nice details like char grilled bell peppers, slow cooked onion, and even zucchini/squash that still has a nice crunch to it. Not mushy. The chips are amazing, crunchy and salty. Guacamole is not spicy which is helpful for my kids. Lots of salsas, fun drinks, and seating. My kiddos enjoyed the churro blonde and the chocolate brownie. Will be back! Thank you for a great experience and wonderful customer service. P.s. courtesy of a yelp elite event!

Adam Pearl

My wife and I have been here multiple times, and every single visit has been consistently amazing. The food is always on point. My go-to order is the plantain sandwich — it’s gluten-free and absolutely bomb every time.

Joshua Boyer

W food plus spicy edamame. Never better. Felt like the place was from the 80’s. Good water loaded with ice. Cool RGB lights plus a fish tank. Atmosphere on point. Table was smooth/had no scratches. Very spacious inside, although I could use more room for my legs in the booth. I have long legs. I wish the menu was paper, not online. The music was also fire. Crazy cool and interesting decorations, including the light bulb with a cover I’ve never seen before. Chopsticks felt good in my hand; the were light and a good texture. There was a painting of the Great Wave off Kanagawa, which reminds me of old times. The bathrooms were also clean and sanitary. It took a while to get our food, but it was still delicious. I recommend the Big Easy Roll. 10/10. I was very thirsty and by the end of the night the waitress had given me 3 waters. The soy sauce was good too, and they even had gluten free for my sister’s diet. Cheese cake was yum yum.
