Oryza has become a staple of our Asian food expeditions whenever the desire arises. The primary reason is my wife has Celiac’s and therefore must avoid gluten. Oryza fortunately uses corn based flour, not wheat. This wizardy allows food allergen victims to be able to eat from their diverse menu. Their food preparation is excellent. The atmosphere is chill. The service is fantastic. We’ve had only 1 negative experience and noticed that same server was not employed there for much longer. ANYWAYS- this is a great place for Asian cuisine. The owner is always friendly and recognizes us when we visit.

First time at the restaurant. Very nice, easy listening environment on opposite part from bar. They have decent gluten free menu options, but this could be done as a separate menu or better labeled menu. Overall very pleasant place for any occasion.

Panchero’s is a never fail choice. Had a cousin here from Minnesota who is gluten intolerant….. she ordered the burrito bowl instead of a burrito and was able to forego the bread!

Excellent gluten free crust! My buddy was skeptical but I have to have it GF so he indulged me and loved it! Only complaint is they could have put more toppings on.

I am celiac highly symptomatic. I go to eat here frequently. They have a GF menu with many options. The staff and the kitchen are aware of contaminations. Food is amazing: you can have burgers, steak, oysters, breakfast sandwich and a great mimosa!

Let me start by saying the pizza is absolutely delicious. We got the Cubano and the white pizza, both in gluten free. Both were fantastic. However, there was definitely either cross contamination or something containing gluten that I was unaware of. I started reacting within half an hour and it's gotten progressively worse as the night goes on. If gluten isn't an issue for you, I definitely recommend. Again, it was delicious. If you have any type of gluten sensitivity or celiac especially, I suggest you don't take the risk.

I really enjoy this patio that is dog-friendly. The atmosphere is great, and they have a variety of vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. The margarita is particularly impressive.

We really liked the gluten-free Pizza crust. The Vegetarian and Supreme Pizza were really good. A classic Bar/Restaurant in Iowa City (since 1944)

My first visit to Harry's. Gluten-free pancakes are on the menu. I asked if they made GF waffles; it seemed like they may not have in the past, but the chef said he could make a gluten-free waffle for me. I am uncertain of the cost as iI did not see or pay the bill (another ember of our party did). I haven't ever been to a restaurant that had GF waffles, so it was a special treat for me! It wasn't crowded at 830 am on Friday. Amanda was an attentive server and was very pleasant. Looking forward to trying the GF pancakes and several unique omelets on future occasions.

Really delicious food, went for lunch with friends. Gluten free friendly! I had the spring rolls with shrimp and the lemongrass chicken with white rice. Both items were fresh and delicious! The service was good but the food came out quite staggered and we were the only diners of the 1.5 hours we were there. I really want to see this place succeed! The market opened behind it and seems like a great place to pick up the makings for a Vietnamese feast at home.

My husband ordered the Cuban Sandwich and I ordered an Italian Roast Beef on gluten free bread with tomato bisque soup on the side. Honestly, the food was incredibly delicious and cooked perfectly. However, the serving portions were rather small for the cost and the presentation was missing a garnish of some sort. Of course, none of the prices will break the bank and this place is definitely worth trying.
