Today was my first time ordering there. I did not get to order inside the shop, however I did online ordering and it was done at the exact time they said it would be. I ordered 2 gluten free pepperoni pizzas. I did not realize how large their slices would be! They’re usually small pizzas but these pizzas exceeded my expectations! Not only was it delicious but everything tasted homemade and with love. Yes the pizzas were pricey but honestly if I wanted a good GF pizza, this is the place! Delicious. Absolutely divine. Again, it was GF pizza so it’ll be more expensive than regular pizza but it’s Tots worth it.

Chill vibes with decent food, but watch out for lingering odors and a less-than-ideal seating setup.

Travel and food plans were altered at the last minute and found this place that offered gluten-free pizza. Pizza was good. The restaurant itself – seating layout, service was on the C, C- side. Did not help that the floors were being mopped and there was a heavy odor in the air as a result.

Diving into affordable prices, fresh crab, and great drinks, but watch out for inconsistent espresso and oysters that require effort to eat.

Pretty decent for the price we paid. I mean the oysters were 1 buck each for the daily special, but they were also 1 dollar quality. Not very meaty, low salinity, not any sweetness. The shells were not cleaned on the outside and the oyster was still attached and not fully shucked so it was a bit of work to eat. However, again, 1 dollar, so worth that and would get them again. Lower score also because the espresso was basically water and they were $4.00 each. They were so watered down, definitely had channeling issues or they were usining an old espresso puck. Sell those for 1 dollar each too and the stars could increase (ie lower price for lower quality), or properly train the staff on how to grind and pull shots. Gator bites were a bit tough. The pros: The crab was really good and really cheap (22 per lb) for where we are from (LA, CA). The meat did not stick to the shell and came right out. 10/10! The scallops were cooked so well, and rivaled some Beverly Hills scallops I've had. For alcohol drinkers, they have a decently strong bar for quality spirits. Our server was fantastic. Attentive and kind. Yes she was busy but she made sure to get what we needed as soon as she could. Great amount of gluten free options too. Honestly could be a 4 star, but I'm pretty ticked that the espresso shots were such low quality and cost so much vs said quality.

Expect awesome pancakes and waffles, plus tasty hash browns, but be ready for premium prices and a less-than-ideal takeout experience.

Gluten free pancakes...need I say more?? The hash browns are also very good. Only downside is they aren't overly friendly for take out orders (I do tip them) and it's very expensive. Husband said their waffles are excellent.

This place has great food. Don't hesitate to order any of the dinners, they are very large portions (makes 2 meals for me at least). Update. Went in today, my son is gluten free so got him a burger no bun with cheese and pickles. They put cheese on both sides and plenty of pickles. Needless to say my son and I were very impressed. And again the food is awesome, I have plenty of left overs.

As a gluten free, dairy free and soy free person, I don't try to eat at Chinese places. My wife had the broccoli with garlic sauce and tofu and said she would give it a solid 4.4/5. The broccoli was not overcooked, the meal was not drowning in oil. She will try it again with a different meal. They are take out only right now, so don't plan on eating in. I'm unsure if this is a temporary or permanent thing since they have a dining room.

I only had chips and salsa. My wife had the fish tacos and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hood value for the money, our server Cris was fantastic. I might venture to try a Mexican style taco as those are naturally Gluten free.

Gluten-free pizza was pretty darn good. Ordered a drink, it was ok not really worth what I paid for. The service was amazing. Went for a special needs moms lunch that was to be nice & relaxing. There was a group in the room next to us that was so loud and had music playing we couldn't even hear anything else.
