As someone with Celiac Disease, I love knowing I can trust the kitchen with their Gluten Free options. So many places will tell you that they are safe when they are not. I come here often and have never had an issue. They mark everything and double check when you inform them. Thank you Sanders Restaurant!

A great variety of food. Even if sushi is not for you they also have steak. There are also vegetarian options. They are very mindful with allergies such as celiac disease.

We’ve been to Hampton Socials in other locations, so were happy to see one when we were at this shopping center and ready for lunch. Beautiful aesthetic that makes you feel like you’re on vacation in New England, top notch customer service, and delicious food! My husband ordered the Parmesan truffle fries to start, so decadent. He really enjoyed his smash burger too. When I ordered the chicken pesto bowl, the server asked if I had any allergies, and I said I have a gluten sensitivity. She immediately checked with the kitchen to see if there were any ingredients I shouldn’t have, and came back to say that the chicken usually is breaded, but they would leave that off on mine, and would also omit anything with a chance of cross contamination. Super impressed with how seriously they took this and how knowledgeable they were. The manager delivered my meal himself. The lack of bread crumbs certainly didn’t detract from the quality, it was an intensely flavored meal with interesting combination of fresh crisp vegetables, the warm chicken with pesto, crunch from pistachios, tang from feta and olives - just amazing.

Allergy and celiac friendly. Some vegan options. Great old school high quality hot dogs. Unique retro home town and family shop vibes. They know their customers and take care of them personally if needed. My out of town family AND friends always schedule it into their chicago trips. Ken and Danny are caring heroes, too. Oh their stories of pulling women from burning cars, how they took care of their employees during lockdown, and more. Tell them I sent you.

Gluten-free and carb conscious options, and the burgers are super tasty!

Exceptional food and service Apr 2025 Chef Justin went out of his way. Met us at our table and noted every one of our dietary restrictions. We were able to enjoy a wonderful Italian dinner (gluten free and dairy free) without worry. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Chef Justin also surprised us with a delicious gluten-free and dairy free Bolognese. Great experience dining and would highly recommend. Our server Juan was also wonderful

My family arrived on a Sunday at around 3pm. We were seated right away. They have a kids menu so it’s definitely kid friendly. But should offer like a coloring page for the kids to do while the parents go through the long menu. There are so many good options and the menu is labeled clearly. They do have vegan options and gluten free if preferred. The menu also list how many calories each plate is. They have an extensive drink menu as well. The waiters give a good amount of time to be able to go through the menu which is a plus. Their soft drinks are coke products. The amount of food on the plate is perfect. The display is also nice so kudos to the chefs! The waiters also don’t write your order down. Which I was surprised at but they didn’t get anything wrong so good job on their extra listening skills. The dining room is upstairs on the second floor, there is an elevator If needed and extra seating at the bottom with the bar area.

They can provide gluten free meals. Nice restaurant. Friendly staff.

This was a hit with my family because they had gluten free buns for the burgers. I ordered a vanilla shake which I wasn't too happy about. But overall I think this is a nice fast food source. The French fries tasted great, and they were hot and fresh.

Julie Diehl

They say they have gluten free buns but they never seem to have any each time I try. Don't waste your time here. Go to Culver's or Chic Fila instead if you need gluten free buns.

This place is my go-to Thai food spot after moving to the area. I've tried so many different ones and I think Tub Tim Thai makes the best food around. They are also always very friendly. I am gluten sensitive and they are always willing to accommodate. I have seen some complaints about the food taking a long time to be made however I have never had this issue but at the same time I would rather wait for fresh food knowing it's being carefully crafted than have reheated food.

Great food! Gluten free options! Would like to see more gluten free food on their menu, including dressing

The enclosed patio here is very cool at night. Everyone liked their food and service was great. I must mention that as a gluten free person it is more difficult to find craveable dishes, especially when dining Italian. Our server Shannon recommended the cacio e pepe with gluten free pasta and to add the veggies. I am looking forward to returning soon because I already want that again. Thank you Shannon!

Love the gluten free options!

Their gluten-free pizza was so good that I questioned whether the crust was really gluten-free!

GREAT Gluten free pizza!!

Super friendly and cozy atmosphere! My friends and I love to eat here and hangout. We talk for hours and are welcome to stay after we finish eating. Unfortunately they do not offer gluten free bread to eat with their sandwiches or paninis. The Baja chicken bowl is gluten free though and is very tasty! The pastries are also delicious, especially the pumpkin muffins!!

Gianna O'Neill

Chick fil a has delicious chicken!! The chicken is extremely tender and flavorful every time! My meal is always hot as they cook the food fresh. I love their grilled chicken, and it’s amazing to have a gluten free option alongside the standard breaded chicken. They also have individually wrapped gluten free buns! Their fries are cooked in canola oil so those with peanut allergies can enjoy! Their fries are delicious as well.

They beef is moist and aromatic, they can do gluten free bread for sandwiches and gluten free crust for pizza.

I’ve had the pleasure of frequenting Sweet Reserve in Lombard and I’m excited to know they opened up a new spot in Skokie . I tried their Ras Malai Cake Jar, which was super yummy with its mix of cake and creamy Ras Malai. It wasn't too sweet, just perfect . Plus, they have gluten-free cookies that are just as tasty as the regular ones. Even if you can't have gluten, their cookies are delicious . Overall, Sweet Reserve is a great spot for anyone who loves desserts, whether you have dietary restrictions or not.

Okay, buckle up for a pastry pilgrimage! Tucked away like a secret treasure, this hidden gem unleashes a symphony of scratch-made goodness. Croissants whisper sweet secrets of butter, their golden layers teasing your taste buds. Scones, oh the scones! Flaky royalty, each bite a revelation that redefines flaky forever. And the kouign amann? Pure caramelized lightning, shattering like dreams that taste too good to be real. But wait, there's more! Gluten-free friends, rejoice! This haven doesn't discriminate, it celebrates every palate. And then there's the coffee... a melodic chorus of beans, reaching its crescendo in the black sugar latte – a must-try if you like your mornings magical. The vibe? Cozy as a cashmere sweater, friendly as a family reunion. The space? Well, let's just say it's intimate. Think "precious jewel box" not "expansive ballroom." So, set your alarms, lace up your pastry-hunting boots, and arrive early. This is a bakery worth the pandemonium. Trust me, your taste buds will sing hosannas after just one bite.

I had some of the best gluten free pancakes. I could not believe how fluffy and delicious they were

Eli

Food was tasty, but service poor and it wasn't good for special diets. I am vegan and gluten free, and ordered the vegan tofu scramble. It comes with veggie sausage and toast; they did not know if the sausage was gluten free, and when they checked still did not know. I asked for no sausage or toast, because of being gluten free, and I received sausage but no tofu. When I asked about it, the waiter repeatedly insisted I said no tofu, which I never said. The tofu looked and tasted like it was cooked in soy sauce, which is likely NOT gluten free, despite me telling them I was strictly gluten free. Very disappointed, will not be back.

Read through several of the reviews to see if I would experience any of the things other people found good or not so good. Here is my experience. We signed in online and when we arrived the host sat us within about a minute on a Friday at 6 pm. The server was at the table within a few minutes and we ordered drinks and our food. Not our first time so we were ready. Wedge salad arrived at the table before our drinks. Good chucks of bacon a generous portion of dressing. Endless Sunshine drink, good and refreshing. See photo. I had the Mushroom Pepperoni Sausage pizza. My favorite and still good. With gluten allergies in the family I appreciate the separate prep area for gluten allergies. Well, for dessert they were out of the Pumpkin Cheesecake so I went with the Butter Cake. Pushed through and ate for sport to get it all finished. And Nick was great!

Best Mexican takeout we have had in a while! We ordered a steak tacos dinner and 2 additional Chile Rellenos tacos. The counter woman/server was prompt to take our order and nice. She checked on the gluten content with the kitchen before I ordered. We waited about 5 minutes in the spacious dining area while our order was prepared. The order came out hot and well-packaged. I do wish they had sustainable packaging instead of styrofoam, but that is my only negative, and applies to most places. The steak was juicy, tender and plentiful. No skimping here! The tacos included fresh corn tortillas, onion, and lots of fresh cilantro. The included sauces tasted homemade. There was both green and red, with the red being much spicier. I did not taste the other tacos due to gluten, but my hubby loved them. The rice and beans were are fresh and tasty as well. Give this place a try!
