My go to place for bowls! Fredde and staff are always friendly and professional. As somebody with Celiac disease (gluten allergy), the team is always willing to change their gloves to help prevent cross contamination. I highly recommend this place.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT This restaurant is an excellent choice for families! They offer multiple high chairs, so even larger groups with young children are well accommodated. Crayons and activity sheets are provided, making it easy to keep kids entertained while waiting for the meal. The colorful decor adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere, and there’s even outdoor patio seating for those who prefer dining outside. EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE Ryan, the team lead, and his staff did a wonderful job ensuring everything ran smoothly. They were actively working to keep customers well-fed and hydrated, which really added to the experience. Kailey, our server, was friendly and cheerful, checking in with us several times to make sure everything was perfect. Sand was also working hard, keeping tables clean and the space tidy. The entire team’s efficiency and positive attitudes stood out. TASTY FOOD AND GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The chicken can be served plain or with various flavors and sauces, catering to different preferences. Gluten-free options and flavored juices were available, which added variety to the menu. ORDERING OPTIONS & ATMOSPHERE You can scan and order or head to the counter, but we chose to order in person since there were no lineups. The atmosphere was relaxing, with music playing in the background at a comfortable volume that didn’t overpower conversations. Booths are available for those who prefer a cozier dining experience, and a self-service beverage station is conveniently located on the side. CLEAN AND WELL-MAINTAINED The bathrooms were clean and tidy, which is always appreciated. Overall, the service was prompt and courteous, with Kailey making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. We had a great time and will definitely plan to return! Thank you Ryan, Kailey and Sand for your outstanding service!

Not Gluten Free Tested the broccoli cheese soup with Nima twice and gluten found both times. This item should be removed from the allergy menu that shows it gluten free. The other dinners in my party all had great dinners so that is why 3 stars.

We love this restaurant! We went with friends and all of us ordered something we had never had before, everything was delicious. The staff was not only attentive, but incredibly respectful and helpful, even taking time to figure out which items were gluten free for part of our party. We were floored, you don't find that quality of a place very often anymore. We will be back often!

Good food. Knowledgeable and attentive staff without being intrusive. Our waitress helped us select entrees which worked well with our food sensitivities. The chef made small - but significant to us - changes in food preparation to accommodate our gluten and lactose sensitivities. The result: a meal we enjoyed very much without feeling uncomfortable. Great value for the price too!

Food was very nice, went for an outing with my family. One thing I wish was better was their beans. Otherwise the food was nice and our server was great! I love the ability to be able to get corn tortillas because it makes my mom who has a gluten sensitivity feel more comfortable going out to eat.

Stopped by for din din to go. Got the Taco Salad. Was minor goof with flour tortilla instead of corn. I told the owner I will suffer through and just take my meds. Glad I did the Taco Salad was good and the flour tortilla was good. I just cant eat too much gluten. The owner was so polite and willing to fix the order it by offering some corn tacos. Those were also great. New fav place!

I love Brooklyn Brothers Pizza. Not only do they have gluten free pizza, which is quite, quite, quite tasty ... but I've never had anything there I didn't like. Their meatballs and marinara sauce is yummy, as is their spaghetti and meatballs! Try it, you'll like it!

All the staff were incredibly helpful. When I asked about gluten they got another staffer who went and double checked in the kitchen. They weren't aware that a co-mingled fryer was an issue for Celiac's but were able to tell me what was fried in it when I asked. The buffet is smaller than some but tasty. Their raita is on the spicy side (we like super mild in our family) and when the staff overhead us they brought us a bowl of plain yogurt no charge. There were no other spicy items - except what you'd expect except the mushrooms which I was warned to avoid.
