Went to lunch on Monday at the Happy Valley location. Upon arrival we were greeted from the manager and had Danny as our waiter. The atmosphere is nice and Danny had a few recommendations for the side item from the lunch menu. They have Gluten free choices as well as some vegetarian dishes to choose from. The food was good and the customer service is on point. I liked the involvement the manager had with his staff and the way it’s being run. Good job to the crew at
PF Chang’s!

We're from out of town and whenever we're in the Phoenix area we HAVE to stop at Pita Jungle. AMAZING!! They have such a great gluten free menu and the service is super friendly!

They were awesome! Great service, asked us several times if we needed items refilled. The food is amazing and they are good with food allergies. They have many gluten free options. I got the gluten free cauliflower pizza. My favorite is that they have bottomless sides (the side salad and sweet potato fries are our favorite). On this particular meal, we used a birthday reward to get a free burger—score!
A cozy coffee shop that brightens mornings with great brews and a warm, welcoming vibe, perfect for a quick stop in PHX.

I recently discovered that Chic-fil-a offers several gluten free options and since I hadn't had them in years I had to try them out. The highlights are the waffle cut fries and milkshakes which were excellent. Sadly the grilled nuggets felt very overpriced for what you get but it was great having gf fast food. The grilled sandwich was very good on the gluten free bun but again felt overpriced. The service here is outstanding though and I will be back.
Unique ordering system with counter service adds charm, and overall, a tasty spot worth visiting despite a minor hiccup with extras.

Wow! My favorite salad has turned into a watered down salad bar salad, very little pine nuts or chicken, and the gluten-free pizza crust was like eating a hard burned saltine! The
caramelize onion and sausage pizza was ground up sausage and chopped onions covered in sugar. Inedible.
Food quality has really deteriorated from a few years ago.
Authentic Thai takeout with a convenient online ordering system, perfect for spice lovers and those who prefer milder flavors alike.

They still have amongst the best authentic Thai food around and even though it's all take out now, the service is great. I use the online ordering (Clover I think) and it makes it so easy and convenient to get such deliciousness! My favorites are the Fried Wontons, The Fresh Rolls and Ginger Chicken. I'm a non-spice person and being able to choose a zero spice is just excellent while my friend can happily order Thai hot (crazy!!) And enjoys it immensely. They also offer a large truly Gluten Free list of offerings. My highly sensitive friend adds her allergy and they do an excellent job accommodating her! Wonderful Mom and Pop restaurant.

Came because never seen a Caribbean place with specifically vegan/gluten free menus + wanted to support. The food is delicious, authentic, + flavorful overall. The only item lacking in flavor that was had was the rice + peas surprisingly but mixed in with everything else it didn't matter much. The service was great. Family owned + ran business added a welcoming home feeling. There is outdoor seating available + this is a to-go restaurant so it's packaged to-go minus the bag even if you eat outside. They do provide table service though which is appreciated. The food is made fresh to order + therefore it takes a while before you get your food. This isn't fast food but it is delicious healthy food. If you don't want to wait call ahead, which is what most people seemed to do.

Our first time in and jaymison was super helpful. They are super friendly and helpful if you have gluten allergies. Walk you through what’s OK for you to order! It is great. There’s even a place in your order where you can write a note that you have a gluten allergy. The food was delicious. Everything was great. We’ll definitely be back.
I’ve never eaten here before and decided to try it because they have gluten free options for my kids. While that is really cool, I’m not super impressed with their cleanliness. The soda fountain was covered in sticky soda all over the front, the utensil area had trash, spilled salt and a tea lid covering it. We were the only people in the restaurant and the team was just standing there. You’d think they could be doing a lobby sweep and cleaning.
Also, when I called to confirm they had the gluten free options, whoever answered the phone was less than pleasant. Just a quick monotone “yes” and when I responded with a “thank you” I didn't hear any response like “you’re welcome” which is basic courteous response when working in the service industry. I, myself run a smaller restaurant similar to this and I’d never let my store look this messy/gross.
The food was meh. The Wisconsin Mac was pretty salty.
A lively spot offering a deliciously diverse superfood salad that perfectly balances creaminess and crunch—definitely a must-try!

Wife wanted to try their gluten free options… she had the superfood salad and tomato soup I had the Rosemary chicken (sub Alfredo sauce)
The food was so delicious. My wife’s dish came out with bread on it so she could not eat it. The manager had it remade and ended up with a large superfood salad and it was amazing. Great customer service and we will definitely be back because of our experience. Highly recommended location!!!
Enjoy a spot that’s known for being safe for those with serious dietary restrictions, making it a go-to for friends and families seeking peace of mind.

A good friend of mine has extreme gluten intolerance and carries an Epi pen everywhere. Culver's is safe to eat at. If the servers on the counter are young, remind them of the seriousness of your gluten intolerance. We are tickled that we can eat there because it is safe for her.
Enjoy a cozy brunch vibe where you can unwind with great meals and a lovely AARP discount, but be ready to ask for missing condiments.

I like the senior omelet special. It's got tomatoes, onions, cheese and bacon (skimpy bacon this time) and includes hashbrowns and toast (a Gluten Free English muffin is available). I ordered a decaf coffee. My husband wanted "lunch" and ordered a crispy chicken bacon ranch sandwich that he really enjoyed. It came with fries.
Our only concern was that there was a lack of condiments and table items. I had to ask for a spoon and cream for my coffee. Our table was missing Tabasco sauce. I had to ask for jelly for my toast. Then later, for my decaf to get topped off. I felt like I was constantly having to make simple requests.
When we first arrived around 10 am there were three other occupied tables and a single server. When we left, about 45 minutes later there were 14 occupied tables and 3 servers. So, part of the problem might be an "early lunch rush". But it felt really weird to have to ask for items like cream, jelly or a spoon!
Other than that, we had a really nice meal, took advantage of our AARP discount and left a nice tip to compensate for the extra requests.
As I mentioned to my husband, we were so tired after a busy morning ourselves that it was nice to enjoy brunch together for a reasonable price!
Enjoy fantastic pizzas made the traditional way with amazing cheeses and a popular crust option that keeps everyone coming back for more!

Pizzas the way they're supposed to be made ... and the results are fantastic. The cheeses they use are fabulous. And I really love the gluten-free crust option with sausage.
Really enjoyed the buffet. Want to go back and order off the menu to get some spicy goodness since one really has to respect that not everyone enjoys the same level of spice at the buffet. They served me up the pappadam since I can't eat the naan and we're able to tell me the TWO dishes to avoid on the buffet that weren't gluten free.
This go-to spot offers quick, hearty lunches with a chill vibe and the perfect blend of warm and cold sandwiches, plus tempting sweet treats.

We stopped on our way through. The food took a little bit but it was fresh and hot. I ordered a salad with no croutons because of an allergy and it came out with croutons which was disappointing and then they told me there were no gluten free breadsticks. They did give me a bag of chips when I asked for them in lieu of the breadsticks.

I do takeout but have certainly eaten in many times. I happily drive a 42 mile round trip for the Jade Red Chicken which happens to be gluten free. They make it so fresh and it’s still hot when I get it home. The black refried beans with the sweet, lightly crunchy and saucy chicken were destined to be together. Add some white rice and the meal is complete. I’ve tried most of their menu and you really can’t go wrong. It truly has a flavor combination for just about anyone. The volcano cookies on the weekends are amazing but they sell out like Chappell Roan tickets so get there early!
So it was hard for me not to give this Chipotle 5 stars. But it's all based on my last trip in. I have never seen such a messy food station. All the foods were all over counter and the glass and food was cross contaminated. The person serving rice was touching the spoon to the tortilla (rice is no longer gluten free and I have Celiac disease which is why I like chipotle. I wish corporate would cover food allergies, just don't touch the spoon to the tortilla). They manager was snapping at what looked to be an entire new team. Super embassing for associate and customers. This used to be the BEST chipotle and I'd make special trips. What happened? Never been so grossed out. WHERE IS THE OLD MANAGER? I wanna go to wherever they went!
Went there with the family for dinner. Wait staff was very friendly and helpful. One of our daughters has celiac disease and an extreme gluten allergy. The waiter told us what was gluten free and even had another staff member dome over that had celica as well to help with our fo evidence in what he was saying. Ensured that the food would not be cross contaminated. Dinner tasted good. Solid chile relleno. Will go again. Only complaint was that we ordered a cheese crisp that was forgotten for awhile and came out late. Was told they would comp it, but it ended up on the bill anyway. Dient say anything due to the great customer service from the waiters.
Customization galore, speedy service, and tasty teas make this spot a favorite, though watch out for the occasional fishy encounter.

Very delicious. Love the customization options, especially how you can do half and half with the base. I really reccommend getting half greens and half white rice! Service is always speedy and food is delicious. Last time I went, though, my spicy ahi was fishy and I felt some mild food poisioning symptoms, so will probably be staying away from that in the future.
I've had the grapefuit tea and some variation on classic milk tea that were both delicious. Options on boba are expansive, which I really appreciate. Good gluten free accomodations!
Meh. I'd say it was pretty ok. I enjoyed the gluten free pasta but the service at this location was pretty poor. I thought it was pretty cool you could draw on the table!
An ideal spot for a romantic date by the water, met with undeniable enthusiasm and a possible lively atmosphere due to young guests.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with enchiladas and chile relleno. Stacia was our server and she was the hostest with the mostest. I have a gluten allergy and she went above and beyond to make sure I had a delicious dinner that wouldn’t make me sick. As someone with an allergy it just means the world to have someone so considerate as your server. Thank you to the kitchen for a wonderful meal and thank you Stacia!

Very disappointing, my gluten-free pizza was undercooked and cold in the middle. I asked for it to be put in the oven longer and not to recook it as I didnt want to make a fuss. It was brought back 1 minute later still undercooked and ice cold in the middle. The other party in my group ordered a regular pepperoni pizza, and they also received a doughy undercooked pizza.
Outstanding tacos with a unique twist of toasted, crusted cheese, making it a must-try spot for taco lovers in the area.

This place was really good. I asked if the meat seasoning etc was gluten free and told it was (will update if I have a reaction). Fingers crossed its gluten free, but either way these tacos are amazing. Tried the chicken, pastor, and asada. Chicken is my favorite by far, the toasted taco with the crusted cheese on the outside is amazing and gives this place a unique option other taco shops do not have. Give them a shot if your in the area, friendly staff and great food. Can't beat that!
Update: I have gone twice now with no reaction, confirmed gluten free.

I'm gluten intolerant, and it's really hard to find good tasting gluten-free food. Their gluten-free pancakes are out of this world! On this day, we had the most excellent hostess and server on the planet, 05/25/2024.
Very fresh me and my friend who is gluten free turned the breakfast burrito into corn tocos I had eggs and hashbrowns she had everything and baken. The salsa was so good. The place had an interesting vibe a mish of random old photos on the walls the floors were a bit beat up. And the menu consisted of a traditional Mexican fast/or sit down food but there was also a side menu of a neiborhood Asian favorite bulgugi! The owner was very friendly, and you could tell he cared about his business and customers!!
Their food is outstanding and their bakery is extensive. Their bakery is so extensive that you can order a vegan cake! This restaurant is all vegetarian by the way but even if you aren't vegan, the food is not to be missed. Some of the best Indian food in the valley with several types of Asian styles on the menu. Everything is laid out on the menu in a very descriptive and easy to read format. Even more helpful was the symbols "gluten free" and "vegan" which I greatly appreciated so that I didn't have to ask.
With limited indoor seating and a cozy vibe, it's a go-to spot for comforting flavors, so keep an eye on the crowd!

The food was good. There were no gluten free sauce options. Staff are friendly. The restaurant was clean but there is limited indoor seating so it's important to watch the crown meter. Overall, this is one of my go to places for my type of comfort food.
