I am gluten intolerant so I ordered a gluten free egg roll and usually Asian noodles don’t bother me so I ordered lo mein noodles. A few minutes after they confirmed my order with DoorDash Josh called and said “I noticed you ordered a gluten free egg roll and our lo mein noodles. The lo mein noodles have gluten but I have gluten free noodles so I wanted to call and double check.” I am a middle school teacher and can’t always get a break so it was SO NICE to have someone make sure my intolerances are respected.

What started out as a not so good service, was turned in to a good one. My daughter has celiac, and I ordered a gluten free dinner to go. When I arrived home, there was flour tortillas in her meal. I called the restaurant back, talked to the manager Gali. She apologized and hand delivered her a new meal. I can’t thank Gali enough for caring about the service and my daughter condition enough to offer correction.
Papi’s, great choice as a manager.
Gali, keep up the great work.
With its unique fire oven and customizable options, this spot offers a delightful experience that keeps everyone coming back for more.

Yall! This is the place! Fellow vegetarians/vegans, this is an incredible spot to check out. Blue has an extensive vegan sushi menu & it is DIVINE.
I have never had any sushi I’ve enjoyed, so I was uncertain at first. I met my parents here for dinner since they are huge sushi lovers & I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was absolutely some of the best food I’ve had in a minute at a restaurant as a vegetarian. Started off with the charred edamame, bc who doesn’t love a great bowl of edamame before dinner? I use to not love sushi bc of the seaweed wrap, so I was happy to know they had alternatives, soy rice paper & cucumber. I enjoyed their Thai & Crunchy Cabbagge rolls. I was shocked at how much I loved sushi, even went back a day later lol. Everything was super tasty. The flavors & textures were everything!!! Not only was the food great, but I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Our bartender Gabrielle provided excellent service. My family & I appreciated your kindness! Gabrielle was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. My mom is gluten free & we are always grateful when our server is eager to help & knows how to accommodate.
Thank you for your service, can’t wait to come back!
With a vibrant atmosphere, unique menu twists, and deliciously bold flavors, this spot is perfect for adventurous diners seeking a tasty experience.

We love dining at Corto Lima. This place knows how to do Mexican food in a way that will surprise it's guests! Their menu is filled with an array of delicious dishes that are sure to satisfy your palate. And there are quite a few vegan and gluten free dishes for those v/gf peeps.
Let's start with their guacamole because it's been our go to. It's rich and bursting with flavor. Served on a grape leaf and topped with finely chopped onions and tomatoes, you can really taste the freshness of the avocados, and it was just the right amount of tangy. Without a doubt, we're in love with their guac!
The spicy margs are exceptional as well. They use a cousin to the jalapeno that gives the marg a more reddish tint and taste even fresher. Very well done.
We also tried their ceviche which was good but not what you'd normally expect from a ceviche dish. It came topped with corn nuts which added an interesting twist. Definitely worth trying if you're up for something different.
Among our favorites was definitely the Lomo Saltado. The flavors were bold and spicy which made it mouth-wateringly good! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection.
Of course, you really can't go wrong ordering any of their tacos. Just slightly smaller portions.
If you're in search of scrumptious Mexican food that stays true to its roots while offering unique twists, this place won't disappoint!

The food was lackluster, my tacos were dry, and the flavors were just ok. The service was absolutely minimal, a little snippy at the register and food delivery was fine. The atmosphere is loud, and kinda worn out but clean. I thought this place was great when it opened. I went every week, but I became gluten intolerant and they only have 3 tacos that I can eat, so I've only come back a couple of times. Both visits in the last year were like this so I feel fine saying that it's mediocre.
Expect top-notch service and helpful chopstick lessons at this often busy spot that's highly appreciated by locals.

Writing this review for our server, Will. He was very attentive in our needs, especially for Carol who has a Gluten allergy. He helped her with the menu and explained everything in detail. He insured that she received what she asked for and made sure everything was not contaminated for her. He took very good care of our table and made sure we had everything we needed. Please give him a raise because you have a gold mine working for you that really cares for the customer. Please tell him thank you again from Carol, Walt, Jennie and Greg.
With vibrant murals by local artists, a budget-friendly menu, and a great drink selection, this spot is a must-visit for taco lovers!

Food was great but at this particular location they do NOT have dedicated pans and fryers unlike the app says they do. They have lots of gluten free options and are very understanding and accommodating, but also are upfront about how their food is handled. They had a sign talking about their policies and that there is a risk of cross contamination.
The information on Atly is incorrect, but they do have tasty gluten free food. Just a decent risk of cross contamination.
A go-to spot for unique pizza options and great prices, making it a favorite for those with food sensitivities and special diets.

If you have a gluten allergy beware . I ordered a gluten free pizza and watched the manager prepare my food without gloves or washing her hands . My gluten free pizza was then placed on an unclean counter full of gluten . When I asked for a refund or to remake my food the store manager argued with me that it’s wasn’t cross contaminated . I was further insulted by the manager who talked to me like I was stupid and didn’t understand . No extra precautions were taken to prevent possible contamination and absolutely zero courtesy was given to me when I expressed a concern over the possible cross contamination.
Generous portions, a laid-back vibe, and a great menu make this spot a must-visit while traveling through the area.

5-Star Experience at Everest Nepalese & Indian Cuisine
My wife and I had dinner here last night with a friend, and everything from start to finish was outstanding. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and offered our choice of seating—we chose a spot near the large glass windows, which offered plenty of natural light and a welcoming atmosphere.
The menu is impressive—packed with delicious-sounding options. We started with the chicken and vegetable *Sadheko Momo*—if you've never had momo, it's similar to a dumpling. These were bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and somehow both fresh and satisfying. A fantastic start to the meal.
For dinner, we shared the *Newari Khaja Set* (which is gluten-free), and it was truly a feast: beaten rice with a wasabi-like kick, chicken choila, piroo aloo, vegetable curry, sautéed black-eyed peas, soybean sadeko, fried egg, lentil pancake (bara), tomato achaar, papadum, and dessert. Every bite offered a new flavor to appreciate. The egg added a crispy touch, and the curry was deeply flavorful. The dessert—imagine a sweet hush puppy in a pool of maple syrup—was the perfect ending.
Service was excellent: our server was kind, attentive without hovering, and gave us time to enjoy everything at a relaxed pace.
If you're a fan of Indian or Nepalese cuisine—or just love trying something new—Everest is a must. We’ll definitely be back!

What a wonderful restaurant! The service was always amazing and welcoming. We stayed in Lexington for a week vacation and appreciated the homestyle cooking Sutton's has. Our family tried almost everything on the menu and were always satisfied. They were also able to accommodate a gluten intolerance. Thank you!

Truly can't say enough about this place. Food, cocktails, service, ambiance are all 10/10. We have a celiac/gluten free in the family and they always are very careful in food prep!! Super accommodating to all meal preferences. A spectacular meal every time you go, with an every changing list for food and cocktails, its worth a trip several times a year.

Delicious coffee in a super cool and unique environment. As a gluten free individual, I appreciated that they offered GF cookies and muffins. Lots of art all around and fun past time such as games, puzzles, yarn, magnetic poetry, and coloring books. This place is one of a kind. Highly recommend!

It was a great place, like a hole in the wall place, with a really cool vibe. The place offers gluten free options for pizza. The Figgy Blue is one of the best options for pizza selections. The grilled chicken sandwich was well made and delicious, but expensive for the small portion size and small dish of farro apple slaw. Great patio seating in the back of the restaurant and full service bar with sports programming on T.V.s.
Worse pizza restaurant we tried, the service is horrible as well, we waited 10 min for drinks and 40 min for the order pizza ( it was 2pm with an empty restaurant) the gluten free food was gross. They burn the pizza the first time and the second time they did not add the toppings, we were 1 1/2 hr in the restaurant. Very disappointed. The environment and kids menu is not kid friendly. Overall horrible experience, we won’t be back.
This experience started off horribly. We had a reservation for my birthday. When we arrived, we were told they were cleaning off our table. 20 minutes later, we were finally seated. When ordering, my wife who has celiac and alfa gal was told that the gluten free sushi was heavily cross contaminated.The food overall was great, but my steak came out tasting like fish. Our waiter, Horus R, was phenomenal from start to finish. The manager was great about my steak with taking care of us remaking my steak and discounting our bill. While it wasn’t the best experience, I appreciate the care they showed in trying to make it better.
With a versatile menu and a welcoming vibe, it’s a great spot to enjoy a fun atmosphere while potentially spotting some celebs.

Our server was adorable! Cute dark haired gal, somewhat curly. Very personable. We came from out of town and really enjoyed our visit! We came with 6 people and she thoughtfully made sure everyone had what they needed including our gluten free guest! We love how versatile the menu is, so many different options! Seeing the celebrities who have visited was neat. We will return!

Great vegan and gluten-free options menu clearly list all ingredients you can build your own put them over fries nachos or have it as a burrito. Staff was friendly. We go all three pets of food and two drinks. It was Thursday so two for one margaritas and it was only around 40.
Unbelievable meal. I had the bourbon burger and it quite possibly may be the best burger I ever ate. My wife got the pimento cheese and ham on a gluten free English muffin. It was wonderful. Servers were very kind. Made me want to move to Lexington.

Kelsey & Stephanie & Chandler are truly 5 Stars!! ⭐️ this is our second trip here in 3 days because the service is a whole vibe! Chandler caught that I had ordered a gluten free burger and that there were onion straws still on my burger. He cared enough to check for me as those are not gf! Severe Allergy avoided! Can’t say enough great things about this staff! May just be our new Lex fav! You must try the bbq burger if you’re celiac like me!! Thank you all! Kelsey & Stephanie worked non stop and kept the bar spotless! 🙌🏼🩷
Best pizza in lexington. Drivers are prompt, customer service is remarkable, and the store is immaculate. The dough is not frozen, it is prepared every morning for the day, which you can watch happen if you choose to order carry out in the morning, and the taste is there to back it up. Truly a shining gem in the pizza industry. If you don't want so much dough they even have thin crust and then two different dough amounts for regular round pizzas and gluten free options on top of that. We always order jets!

Noticed some of the patties were small but at least I got gluten free!I travel all over but with Allergies It's hard but we know they have allergy menu I love the gifts also!
Delicious gluten & dairy free options. The lake and quinoa salad with grilled salmon is my favorite. Their grilled salmon is consistently delicious and cooked just right.
Excellent food. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. We called ahead to let them know one of the members if our party had celiac disease and needed a non gluten entre. They were prepared and the meal was perfect. They have THE BEST IN THE WORLD fried shrimp.

What a wonderful find. My husband and I were driving through Lexington on our home to Chicagoland from a vacation in Gatlinburg TN. I was looking for a nice sit down restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. Merrick Inn did not disappoint. The free valet parking was helpful as there is not much parking nearby. The building is a beautiful old farm house. It feels like you are having dinner at a big country manor. Each room is a small dining room with a different decor making it feel small and intimate even though it is a large building. Our waitress, Rachel, was very personable and accommodating with my gluten intolerance. The food was delicious. I ordered the pork chop, green beans and asparagus. My husband had the pork tenderloin, green beans and asparagus. The meat was tender, juicy and had amazing flavor. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Delicious flautas and standout flan make for a memorable lunch, with attentive service ready to answer any questions.

First timer here! I got the Flautas Lunch Special today and it was amazing! The customer service was great, I have a gluten allergy and the guy on the phone was extremely helpful and answered all my questions prior to ordering. They were able to cook my meal separately to avoid cross contamination. Their flan was amazing too!
I have never been in a cleaner restraunt.
I'M not real happy about a medical need to go gluten free so I was delighted to find lettuce wraps on the menu-- and well made to boot. Crisp lettuce tightly wrapped so it didn't fall apart.
Thanks a million,
