It was so nice to find a Hawaiian place that has so many gluten free options! Everything there is GF except for the mac and chesse - even the sauces! I got the Honolulu plate, it was fantastic. Service was great, everyone was so friendly - particularly Julie - thank you!

I absolutely loved my order of chicken and waffles. My waffle was perfectly cooked. The breading on the chicken tenderloin was perfectly seasoned and not salty. The fresh strawberries were sweet and really added to my enjoyment. I appreciate the organic and gluten-free ingredients. It's definitely a must on my next trip to Waco, TX. Last but not least, the owner was an absolute joy!

This was my first time eating at Mod Pizza, and it was awesome! They have a gluten-free option! This place is perfect for those who like lots of toppings, as you only need to pay for the crust, then you can add whatever toppings you want on your pizza. You can also get dipping sauce or have sauce drizzled on the pizza. The food was great, the restaurant was nice and clean, and the employees were kind and worked fast. Overall, a great experience. I plan to come again! 😁

If you are looking for great BBQ in casual setting do not miss Terry Black's. I was not expecting its almost fast food style service where you select your sides (single, pint or larger servings), then meat by the pound (sold in 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or pound servings. We had the brisket, plain sausage and pork ribs. All outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket. The potato salad and coleslaw slaw are both vegan and gluten free for anyone avoiding those. Great green beans too. I missed that they dont offer collard greens. Corn bread was great too. Highly recommend for a relaxed casual lunch or dinner. The guy by the smoker even offered to take out picture by the sign and next to the smokers and to give us a quick tour of the smokers.

As a person highly sensitive to gluten, this is one of my favorite places to eat in Waco! I love that they have accommodated their dishes to service people who have gluten sensitivity.

If you have any form of dietary restriction do not eat here. They advertise many gluten free options. I asked about the chips and they told me to Google the manufacturer. No information online. I asked about the menu and was told there are many gluten free options. I asked for specifics and was advised they would go get someone. My friends food came out and the staff told me it'd be best if I just not eat here. So I didn't. Neither should you if you need to know what's in your food. Don't advertise options if there are none.

Very good açaí bowls and smoothies. It is good for a sit down and relax meal/drink. Service is friendly and prices are good. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

I love the atmosphere so much and I'm gluten free also vegan so my server was able to be very knowledgeable and ready for any modifiers I needed to my order. I got the Bourbon peach chops and those came with fingerling potatoes. So so sooo amazing 10/10 would recommend that hunk of a dish anywhere.

We’ve been here 3 times and every time Ryan remembers and gives us 12/10 service and food. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough from the food, to the environment, to the service it’s all amazing. They remember things like my wife being gluten free or our son wanting ketchup with his fries and we’ve only be there 3 times in the past year. If you haven’t checked out Cajun craft you need to!!
