Besides all the food being absolutely incredible, from the appetizers to the dinner to the dessert, all fantastic. The service was amazing, my family and I went and the server, Tatiana, was the most attentive server I've ever had in my life, was so on top of everything, drinks being topped off, above and beyond and incredibly friendly. I don't reveiw often but felt like this deserved it, definitely suggest this place! Also side note, my mom has celiac and they are very careful with food allergies, her plates even had allergy warning stickers on them. The menus made note of what was gluten free, and spice levels, as well as a low calorie specific menu.

Highly recommend the Kitty Hawk quencher drink! Every meal here I've had is delicious. It's also a very expansive menu so there is something for everyone. If you have to eat gluten free there are items clearly labeled.

Best meal of the trip. I had a gluten free, vegan sandwich and felt like I could build a house after. They packed a lot on to this perfect sandwich: olive tapenade, sunflower seeds, apple, spinach - everything in proportion. My friend had a standard eggs, bacon and cheese (cheddar!) on a roll and loved it too. Iced coffee was delicious. Plus the service was great. Thank you!

Don’t go there if you are gluten free - I ordered fish tacos with no tortilla but corn chips and specified that I was gluten free and even asked if the mahi was gluten free. I’m not kidding there was flour on my food, like someone might have accidentally spilled it or something but I told them I had an allergy. I did not notice immediately and ate some of it. I then asked the waiter and he said that it was flour and they still charged us for a meal I could not eat due to sensitivity.

We just ate at Pizza Stop. If you're allergic to gluten I'd 100% recommend NOT eating here. I informed them of my allergy when ordering. My salad was brought out with croutons. They remade it. That was good. Ate about half my pizza and my throat started closing up. I asked if it was passed to the back (obviously it couldn't have been with the salad) and they said that they always use a clean cutter and take extra precautions. They definitely couldn't have. They didn't even apologize. Definitely not worth it especially with the high cost and it wasn't even cooked all the way

We had the best BBQ dinner. My children cleaned their plates. They were very accommodating with our Dair and Gluten allergy. Even had a "Dairy free menu " those who know ,know how helpful that is. We'll educated staff. Portion size was on point. We highly recommend high Cotton bbq.

The bowls are so good! I was kind of annoyed I got the avocado toast instead of the bowl, but my friend thankfully shared. The cold brew is great, too. I'm glad there are gluten-free and dairy-free options here.

The food is tasty and the wait staff kind. However, this is NOT the place to find of you have life threatening allergies. They managed to mess up 2 different meals in the kitchen even though the wait staff and hostess made detailed notes and discussed allergens with kitchen staff. I was served a pork burrito with "no meat" written on outside of foil (I have a meat allergy) and a family member has a gluten allergy and "gf" for gluten free was written on the foil of his burrito that was in fact wrapped with a gluten containing flour tortilla.

We went for dinner because it had been recommended to us and it was a great idea. Don't leave without trying the "soft crabs", they are delicious, crunchy and tasty. I also ordered a scallop taco and it didn't disappoint me either, a lot of scallop and very delicious with its sauce and mango. We also ordered "sweet potato" and they gave us a box full of potatoes. In total it cost us about 55 dollars: 2 units of soft crab, 2 of sweet potatoes, 6 battered shrimp and 2 scallop and oyster tacos. We will repeat! There is also parking right at the door and they have a gluten-free menu suitable for celiacs. Of course, the place is small, so we ordered takeout.
