My wife has Celiac so we have to be very diligent about where we eat. Mellow Mushroom simply has the best pizza I have had a many years, even the GF pizza was amazing.

The owner, David, was very friendly and accommodating. I am celiac and he assured me that 95% of the menu is gluten free. He offered up additional information on labeling to assure me. I told him I was semi hungry and he recommended the salmon kabobs. It came with two different sauces and rice with a salad. It was fresh and delicious. I will be a new “usual” customer now!

We frequent Mission BBQ as it is one of the few places my Celiac wife can safely eat. They are very cautious when preparing her food and work diligently to avoid cross contamination. We have been going for years and never have had an issue. Thier food is always amazing and very favorful. They honor our active duty and veteran community. Being a 30 year retired veteran, it is great see an establishment that recognizes our vets. Every day at noon they play the Star Spangled Banner, it truely is awesome. Additionally thier staff is amazing. When you enter the restuarant you always get a very heartly Welcome. They make you feel at home. Thier entire crew is great at what they do. One crew member, Kera (forgot her last name) was on her game and made sure every aspect of our meal was taken care of and great attention was paid to ensure my wifes safety and enjoyment. This young lady certainly is amazing. I could see her running the restaurant one day.

Went here for the first toddler-free date night in a while, and it was such a warm, welcoming, and relaxing environment (even with other young families around). Enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening and was impressed to see a full parking lot, but gratefully no wait for a table. The hosts opened the doors for us when we walked up, a truly nice touch of service! They had an entire gluten free menu with a lot of options which was very appreciated. Our waitress was willing to get answers from the kitchen about it preferences before ordering. Everything we ordered we thoroughly enjoyed (2nd Street chips w/pimento cheese, the tomato soup (omg!), Grilled tofu dinner, with all the sides, beet and goat cheese salad, and veggie burger patty (the least exciting of all, but still good)). We can not wait to return and absolutely recommend. Surprised to have just discovered this place. Has hotel restaurant vibes, but is welcoming and the staff was all fabulous.

The food here is delicious. The gluten free chocolate torte cake I had when I visited tasted like the version my mother used to make when I was a child. And the breakfast sandwich was heavenly. Light but filling!

Gina did an amazing job. She made our gluten free diet very easy. She was very professional and was on top of everything. We appreciated her service.

I am loving their salads and gluten free pizzas. Unlike many others, their gluten free pizzas are an indulgence, which is exactly why I eat pizza. Delicious.

My husband and I love to eat here. Service is always superb! Portions are large and fairly priced. They offer gluten free pasta, which is a must for me. The gluten free penne a la vodka with chicken is my absolute favorite. If you live in the area, this should be your go-to place for Italian cuisine.

They have a gluten free pasta, and a gluten free pizza dough. I wasn't super impressed as I only had the gluten free penne with marinara which was pretty basic, but all the other items looked phenomenal, and the family loved it! I was able to get some grilled chicken in top also which was good. Family restaurant type vibe, good food, nothing to complain about. No negative reactions from gluten either 🙏🏼

This place is great! Good food, good vibes! Compliments to the chef (Chris) as I have celiac disease and he took it VERY seriously! I will be back:)

Long story short. Our burgers almost touched which would have potential to make my wife sick. The location was chosen by my wife who has celiac disease. It was chosen for its potential to be a gluten free eatery. However while she was making her selections, there was a allergy identification tool. When activated it identified the fries as not gluten free. This was our first red flag. The most basic of sides was not gluten free. Also because they have an allergy identification tool. This gluten avoidance has been identified as an allergy and not preference. I made my selections and we confirmed our order and paid. When the food was presented in the to go bag. My gluten bunned burger and my wife's gluten free bunned burger were very close to touching one another. Having a gluten allergy identifier and then displaying blatant disregard for said identified allergy is quite concerning. The food was very good.

Our waitress, Tadajha, was phenomenal! I have a gluten and shellfish allergy, and she was so diligent making sure my meal was safe for me. The kitchen makes sure they are prepping your food correctly, and I appreciate that so much! Great restaurant!
