BEST GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES! And they have GF toast as well that is good. But the gluten free pancakes are SO good. They're fluffy and you can get them with blueberry or strawberry! I would add a photo but I ate it all.

I can't have any gluten and when I order a gluten free meal I always seem to get a manager to check and see if everything is good. I appreciate knowing they understand

This is normally a great location with good food. Recently I ordered a sandwich for take out while heading to a meeting then out of town. As I got to the meeting, I unwrapped my turknado on a gluten free wrap and it had zero turkey on it. Just lettuce, guacamole and cheese. I called the store to tell them and I was told I would have to bring the sandwich back in to prove there was no turkey on it or there was nothing they could do. The gentleman that answered also said this has been happening a lot, that is why proof was required. As I was in a meeting then leaving town, I couldn’t make the trip back to the store. I wrote an email about this to the posted email on the website with zero response in the weeks since this has happened. I gave them plenty of time to respond before posting this. Unfortunately, seeing as this is a “persistent problem” and I can’t trust my sandwich to be made with the ingredients that are in the name of the sandwich, I won’t be returning.

Quirky vibe with tasty drinks, but order pick-up can be a bit chaotic—labels would definitely help keep things organized!

Love coming here, the drinks are so good the gluten free banana muffins are even better. Here is my only complaint, it gets confusing when receiving the order. They don’t use names all the time to call out orders that are ready, and they aren’t very loud so you can’t really hear them. I came here today and someone took my sandwich (on accident hopefully) so the workers were nice about it and made me another one. But It’s inconvenient and a hindrance, I would great appreciate a better system on this. Even just a label on drinks and food so we know what they are, thanks for your consideration.

Great for those with allergies!!!! Gluten free & Dairy Free pizza for the win!!! This is my 3rd time ordering from Bronx Pizza and I have been happy every time! I have both a gluten and dairy allergy which makes ordering pizza pretty much impossible. Before I ordered the first time, I called to check on the ingredients on the gluten free crust to make sure it was in fact dairy free. They were kind enough to send me a picture of the ingredient label!!!!! Anyone with allergies will know how amazing that is! I haven’t ever had gluten/dairy free pizza this good! It’s wonderful to be able to partake again. The last time I ordered a pizza, the wrong one was sent, but they quickly made it right with no issue. My husband said the regular pizza is some of the best he’s had too. This place is fantastic, the pizza is delicious, and the people really care. They have made life-long customers out of us!

Visited Jimmy's for Saturday lunch and we were able to order from both breakfast and lunch menu. It was quiet, perfect for families. Plenty of space, making it an ideal venue for private events. The dishes were generous portions and Service is prompt. We tried the new appetizer menus and it was enough for three, and I would recommend sharing them among four. Located within a plaza, parking is abundant, adding to the convenience. Indoor and outdoor seating options available. They offer gluten-free cheese and meat options, The restaurant has multiple screens make it as a go-to spot for game day gatherings. 5 stars for an old fashion American family diner place . Good portions, good prices, to the point, no extra.

I walked in and was greeted and told she'd be right with me. She asked if I'd ever been in before and when I said no, she gave me a brief run down of how things worked, what the flavors were and what the options for customization were too. I sampled the Coco Love (YUM!) & decided to try a pre-made bowl for my first visit. I went with the tropical bowl and added a little agave on top. It was SO. FREAKING. GOOD. She was super friendly, made my bowl quickly and offered a lid to go. Thank you! Bonus: most everything is vegan or at least dairy-free and gluten-free. If you're having a craving for acai or pitaya or just a cool, refreshing treat, Everbowl is a great, quick option!

Dairy free for me and gluten free for wife review. I had the build your own omelet with hash-browns and toast (no butter or cheese). The wife had gluten free pancakes and egg combo. Both orders came out perfect. Great service with no extremely friendly and patient servers. Unfortunately no dairy free pancakes which is to be expected.
