I would give 1000 stars if I could. I have a gluten and dairy intolerance and our server, Tyler, made sure I was eating GOOD. He got the kitchen to make gf/df bread specially for me, and was super accommodating explaining the menu items in depth and offering suggestions. He even brought me a plate of steamed veggies with my chicken & pasta. I ended up getting the pasta-your-way with gf gnocchi and grilled chicken, and he brought me a side of steamed veggies. He was accommodating, friendly, and on top of everyones table around us with the same level of service. Did I mention this was Valentine's day, one of their busiest days? This is going to become a regular restaurant for me, thank you Marcella's and thank you Tyler!!

Had adequate parking. The dining area is large and can accommodate large parties. The manager was helpful and explained where everything was. There is a salad bar with a variety of healthy items. You will pay between $10-$15 for a sandwich. All foods served are free from dyes, artificial trans fats and flavours, processed MSG's, and high fructose corn syrup, according to the menu. I had the Ruben, and it was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. I also had a salad, which was great. I highly recommend Jason's Deli if you're in the area. They do have gluten sensitive and vegetarian options. Jason's Deli is a chain resteraunt, which we didn't know until we did some research, with restaurants in 28 states. This is a family owned chain and is in the top 500 for resteraunt chains.

I have been to a couple of these before and they're always very good and clean .......this one is bigger than most..... Got greeted right away when I came in sat down it wasn't very crowded at the time ......... The hostess was friendly and so was my server.,,.... I usually get the awesome avocado omelette... Each time I go into one of these places I always tell myself this time need to order something else because it all looks good but I never do I stick with my favorite each and every time...lol.... They also have added gluten-free breads which is awesome for somebody like me.....

My two best friends and I came here for our annual birthday celebration and I haven't stopped dreaming about it since! My vegetarian, gluten-free diet was easy, and my girlfriends got dishes that matched their tastes. The nachos are next-level, of course....but the DRINKS!! 💘 Delicious and effective. We had the BEST time!

Really poor experience here. Not enough training on gluten intolerance, my plate was cross contaminated and the wait was insanely long. Then we get home and my daughter starts puking. Overall not impressed. The manager offered me a gift card but I seriously doubt that I will ever go back.

We ate on the patio. 3 of us, early evening. The guys got specialty burgers and I ordered a chicken n bacon sandwich, no bun. I asked for them to make sure there was NO pepper or spices on the sandwich. Then I asked if they had fried peppers of any kind and if so, do they fry them in the same fryer as the FF. They said they jave them, but they can fry my FF in their gluten free fryer. So I ordered this. Another server brought our food. It had a few very appealing fried vegetable circles on my chicken sandwich. I asked what they were. They put fried jalapeños on my chicken sandwich! After I spent time explaining why I could not eat peppers of any kind. They were directly on my chicken so they had to make a completely new one. My guys had gotten their food so they were just about done by the time my corrected food came out. The chicken did not have spices on it, but they again screwed it up. I had asked for them to just not serve the bun and no sauce. I should have gotten lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese and chicken, plus a side of FF. Instead, I got one small piece of chicken with a piece of cheese and an order of FF. The chicken was good, even though not what I ordered. I could still taste a bit of heat to it- they probably did not have a clean spot to grill it so it may have had a bit of pepper. We did not go inside so I do not know the condition of the interior. The server was pleasant. The outside dining area was relatively clean. We would probably eat there again if we were in the area.

One of the best places I’ve ever been! They have a “build your own taco” section which makes it great for vegans, vegetarians, or picky eaters! Gluten free friendly! I got The Heater on soft corn shells and it was amazing! Definitely recommend!

First time customer. Ordered mahi mahi tacos. When ordering I asked if the fish was breaded or grilled. You can pick so I ordered grilled. I asked if the taco shells were corn or flour. Without hesitation the waitress said they were corn. I have a wheat allergy. The food came and I was a little skeptical as the tortillas were the typical size of flour tortillas but again the waitress seemed so confident when I first asked so I decided to take a few bites but when she came to check in I asked again and she said I think they are corn but let me check. Then came back and said they were flour… I was surprised as this restaurant seemed pretty allergen friendly since they had GF bun options on the menu. I’m glad this didn’t happen to someone with Celiac.. Hopefully the menu can be more descriptive in the future and staff can be more well-versed with their menu items in regards to allergies.

Worked with us and considered all of our dietary restrictions including gluten free and allergies. They were very busy and overall the food could have been better.

Megan Weber

I came on my birthday, and was not expecting anything special, however I was very pleasantly surprised by their staff! Not only was our food great, but they surprised me with a birthday signed by their staff, some temporary tattoos and a gluten free brownie!! It was so lovely, so generous and kind. Thank you, for taking the time to make my day a bit more sweet.

Carrie Roth

Dedicated gluten free menu and anything with Anasazi bbq sauce

Todd Gregory-Gibbs

Food is always outstanding. Good for me a gluten free kind of guy. Floor in dining room could have been cleaner.

Josephine Lung

The new menu is great! I love the amount of gluten free options they have, as well as the attention to detail they put in to make sure things are not cross contaminated if you have an allergy!!

Josephine Lung

Can never go wrong with chick-fil-a!! Great gluten free options! Love the grilled nuggets and the fries!!! The staff is really nice!

Hannah Schuler

had Sophie as our server and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable on the menu and had the perfect gluten free recommendations. will be back to see her soon!

Emma Thaci

Friendly staff, with lots of unique options for drinks. This location sometimes has gluten-free bakery items, but they do sell fast.

Traci Byrge

Had the most fantastic gluten free ravioli per the suggestion of our waiter. I haven't had ravioli in years. Will definitely be back!

Steve Smalley

Our server, Chad, was great. Our breakfast was delicious although it was too much food to eat at one setting. They were great about dietary restrictions and made us gluten free French toast upon request. I would highly recommend giving Mimi’s a try!

Amber

Fast & extremely fresh, with many gluten free options. We need a location in Indy!

Alex Amundson

Had a great meal with the family. The food was good, about average for Korean BBQ, the hot pot was not the best and had only one gluten free broth option. The service, however, was great. Ahura was our server, and she did a great job explaining things and taking care of us.

Mike and Emily Geiser

Great gluten free pizza option.

Elise Gillespie

Our server Kendall was very attentive to our large group and made sure I had what I needed (gluten free diet)

Brian Solomon

Better than Ch!potle! Staff does a nice job at this location. Always clean and ingredients are always fresh. Yum Queso! Gluten free hard or soft shell tacos are tasty.

Christine McDade

We all had seafood and it was all delicious. Many gluten free options though not noted on in person menu only online. Huge desserts. Beautiful space inside. Tables well separated. Special occasion place due to cost but all elements well done. Staff were also helpful without being intrusive.

Brigit Kowalczyk

We brought a friend from out of the country here for dinner. We were waiting on by Jack who is super helpful and very attentive to the fact that I had a gluten allergy. He gave amazing recommendations for each of us. You could tell he loved his job! The food was soooooooo amazing ! I had summer rolls, Garlic green beans and tofu for dinner and it was probably the best I ever had! Portions were big enough that I have lunch for tomorrow 😀 We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a great experience, service, and food! Sorry no food photos, just one of us as we left😁

Adam was amazing at explaining the options for gluten free and teaching us about the sauces. Love that he took his time yo do this. Our waiter Elijah, was great and very friendly as well.

Rick Daley

The food was fresh and the service exceptional. Very friendly, awesome okra appetizer (gluten free), and we also tried Biryiani, kebobs, and vindaloo. Everything was excellent, we will come back!

Chris Warrick

My son has celiac and they now have gluten free bread and took every precaution for him. Loved Firehouse before love it even more now!

Kelli Roberts

The staff is super nice and the quality of the food is really good. I wish they had more gluten free options.

Brenda Cochran

Food was delicious I had filet mignon it melted in your mouth incredible. My friend said it is one of the best steaks he has ever had. His wife had the salmon which she enjoyed. I had sweet potatoes and mac and cheese with bacon for my sides perfect choices .They say the bang bang shrimp is just outstanding! I don't eat seafood so going on their say. The service was good. The server was a bit chatty but clearly young only 18 and trying to earn tips so I can appreciate that. Honestly I'd rather have chatty server over a rude or unattentive one. The macadamia nut brownie was very rich. Between 3 of us we couldn't finish it. Our server said it was gluten free not sure about that as we didn't look for such just ordered by his recommendations. The restaurant was clean and nice decorating. The smell was rather fishy so that is why I gave 4 stars.again I don't like seafood so when you smell like you are at a seafood counter it isn't inviting. They also commented it smelled fishy. We had reservations amd no wait just arrived and was seated how great that was. The women's restroom was freezing cold and had odd smell like cat pee so again not inviting. The bread was very fresh soft and served with a seasoned oil for dipping.

Andy Spears

I love this place. The food is really good. Big menu. Lots of different Asian cuisine. My family and I eat there often. The restaurant is family owned and they are super nice people and they are part of the Lewis Center community. There are numerous dishes I rotate but I love their pho. They also work with me on my gluten sensitivity. This is the type of business I like to support - local, good food, good people who are part of our community!

Deb Wentz

It's so loud, you can't have a conversation with the person next to you. Gluten free food was good

Whitney Green

First time at Chili's. Our host was awesome, and he helped us with understanding the menu. Our server, however, was super busy because she was also the bartender. I didn't like that, and I wish we could've sat in a different section. My son loved the triple dipper, and I really enjoyed the potato soup (gluten-free).

Bob Spangler

I'm embarrassed that I bought food here, but my daughter's friend requires gluten-free food. Breakfast; I had a chicken biscuit that was pretty good, though the biscuit was a bit crumbly to be a sandwich. It tasted good, though. I was pleasantly surprised at the total cost, especially since we got a couple small bottles of orange juice, which I surely expected to make the total outrageous... It didn't.

Harry Cardillo

Great service and terrific sashimi. I have somehow gotten used to ngiri from grocery stores over the last year... Forgot how good sushi can be! Also... Appreciative that they gave gluten free soy sauce.

Liz Love

Worth the wait every time!! I have them constantly on my mind because they are gluten sensitive! I can eat the corn dogs with no issues and I love it. I did have to wait 30 minutes once when they first opened, because they were slammed busy and appeared to be training a new employee but that did not rain on my day at all. Now I get my order in about 10 minutes. I am so glad to have these delicious eats in Columbus!!
