I have celiac disease, which is a SEVERE gluten allergy, and I have been to rapid fired many times. When I go in, I always let everyone know I have an allergy, and they make mine in the back to avoid cross contamination. That’s all fine and well, but I was told I could have a desert pizza gluten free, so I ordered that at least 5 different times. Turns out, the cinnamon topping has gluten in it!! If you’re wondering “why didn’t she notice?”, it’s because celiac reaction isn’t immediate. Anyways, if you or your loved ones have celiac, would not recommend this place. It’s so horrible when your allergy isn’t taken seriously. If I had a peanut allergy I wouldn’t be treated this way.

The only reason I gave 3 stars is because our server was good. The gluten free menu, both in restaurant and on website, needs to be updated. There were 2 in our party that were gf and the 2 items we chose were not on their menu.

Ordered 2 meals, both were wrong and the food came cold. Both burgers were overcooked, almost burned. The only thing good about the meal was the gluten-free bun. Would have taken it back, but it took so long to get our food we were starving when we got it. I immediately contacted your customer service office via the website, and have, of course, heard nothing back.

Great food, great service! Love coming here! Kara was our server/bartender, she did a fantastic job. I had the mini-mag nachos, which I loved, they're like loaded bbq nachos. My friend got the fire grilled shrimp and we shared. The manager, Billy, came out to check on us while we ate and made sure we were enjoying everything. I'm gluten free and not only does the menu clearly mark what I can eat, but Billy and Kara were both able to help me. Super impressed.

The food was good, and my gluten and dairy sensitive friend had no problem finding a meal (they default to corn tortillas, and flour tortillas are available upon request). Only mediocre thing was the 10-15 minute wait turning into an almost 30 minute wait, but it was understandable. We went on the tail end of dinner rush and we’re unable to sit at the bar due to age.

This was our first time visiting Litas Tacos after driving by all the time. My husband has a gluten sensitivity, also very picky about what he eats, so we almost walked out due to not for sure if he could have the tacos. The owner introduced himself and family along with a short story about the business. We ordered 2 cowboy Tacos and 1 traditional taco (chicken on all). We put the jalapeno sauce on the side. These Tacos were so delicious!!! Very flavorful and the jalapeno sauce is amazing, definitely will be coming back. The price is good as well. The interior is very homie and comforting.

This was my first time at Fords Garage and our server Maddy was absolutely phenomenal. She was always smiling and definitely made me feel welcome here! We even joked around and the service was super quick! The food overall was great too! They had gluten free options which was a bonus! I ordered the Ford’s signature burger and fries and it was probably one of the best burgers I have had. My significant other also got the same burger and on the regular buns they have the fords signature stamp on them (photo). I loved the atmosphere and the decorations and will say that this restaurant is definitely unique!

Five Guys Burgers and Fries are always a dependable and predictable place to eat! My wife has gluten allergies so she loves the lettuce wrapped burgers. The 🍟 are fresh cut daily and cooked in 🥜 oil!!! Free peanuts!!! The price is, as always, slightly high but it's so worth it. It's not Fast Food but it's sure is fast!! Just wait for them to yell out your patty quantity!! Great service, awesome food. Thank you all.

This was my first time dining at this chain. I thought it was a great value, and enjoyed the quick and efficient service. The food quality and taste was on the mediocre side. Pros Fast and efficient service. No wait for a table. Server took orders promptly and food was served quickly. Great value - food portions was impressive for the price paid. None of us could finish our meal. Croissants were amazing. Decent selection of gluten free options. Cons Food taste and quality was on the mediocre side. I ordered the ribs, and it was rather dry. Fries were stale looking and tasting.

Facebook Cincinnati food group and Google have good recommendations. The inside seemed to not match the design of the outside. However, if one can overcome the lack of style and embrace the generic feel you will rewarded with hand made food. Birria tacos were as good as they could get...the shrimp Alfredo had a handmade sauce and was delicious, the salad was generous and my mom loved it. Great down-to-earth service. Not much that was gluten free, tho. The salsa and made to order guacamole is top notch. I would definitely go back.

We stopped here on a long drive and we were greeted so warmly . She brought us hot African tea that was like chai , it was too sweet for me and when i told her I need low sugar , she graciously brought us unsweetened tea. We ordered the African beans and chicken stew, very delish and flavorful . She brought us delicious and flavorful hot sauce which fit perfectly with these dishes . She brought us a fried appetizer we didn't order and we declined as my friend is gluten free and i avoid fried foods . She graciously took it back . I hope you get to experience this amazing restaurant with such caring and gracious service ❣️

We loved this place! My mother had the quesadilla, and she indicated it was one of the best she had EVER had! The three four little ones we brought are well, and I can say the potato soup and chef salad were awesome! We had 11 people in our party, and even though we couldn't make a reservation, the person I called on the phone made a notation for the hostess of what time and how many would be there, as we would be arriving during their busiest time. We were on the heated back patio, and it had room for the littles to get up and move around. Our waitress was very attentive. I chose it bc of the gluten-free options it afforded for my son-in-law and for its location convenience. We will definitely be back!
