The food was good, but not awesome. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our waitress was awesome. They had a lot of gluten-free options.

Delicious food and drinks! Also, I am celiac and feel so safe eating at Lucha! I communicate with my server or make a note when I order online, and have not had an issue!

We had my dad’s celebration of life luncheon at Sam’s and they did a fantastic job! The food was plentiful and delicious and many of those in attendance complimented us on the venue. They even had gluten free options for those who requested it.

The best for people with food allergies!

Many pizzas to choose from. Old enviroment from the 20's gives it a unique atmosphere. Good service, gluten free options , dessert and drinks. Don't sit in from of the door if it's wintertime.

Amber at Red Robin in Rockford IL gave excellent service and helped us with gluten free allergy food and and we were impressed.

Gretchen Schwartz

What a cozy and welcoming atmosphere! The food is fresh and delicious, with friendly, fast and efficient servers. If you have dietary issues, let your server know, as they do have a gluten free menu. This was a fantastic experience and one you will absolutely want to check out!

Joshua Way

Absolutely love this place. Best gluten free food in Rockford!

Was a beautiful kitchen and unique place. The food and menu items were a bit pricey for our budget, but the food is locally sourced, and the menu is new every week. Overall, it was a good experience! Food is a bit different, not the usual restaurant items, but the flavors were all good! There were a lot of vegan/ gluten-free options as well this week. Our favorite was the popcorn shrimp tacos! You can tell everything was fresh made. Drinks were small for price. For two people with one appetizer, one desert, 2 drinks (alcoholic), and 2 entrees, it was 91 dollars. I did still enjoy the evening, and it was a cool experience. I would be open to coming again

Second visit and I love their sandwiches. Also love that I can get gluten free bread, not an allergy just a preference. The meats and veggies are really fresh, the service is very nice. Great stop for a fresh deli sandwich. Nicely packaged as a to go order also!

We had an amazing Father's Day BBQ experience today. We especially appreciated our fantastic and knowledgeable server Clayton who did a superb job navigating our requests and our food sensitivities ( great options for gluten-free). Very satisfied given I am a big saucy BBQ connoisseur- loved the ribs, wings, and brisket especially

Vanessa Torres

Love the variety of options to customize your pizza, including gluten-free choices! The staff is friendly. Will definitely be returning!

Rikki Dahl

First time eating here after passing it probably 1000 times. Really tasty food. Love that they have gluten free options. Had a gluten wrap with potato wedges. My only dislike was the potatoes needed more salt but luckily there was a shaker on the table :p

Kristina Marie (Brad and Kristina)

Great food. Decent prices and our waitress was amazing. Walked past several times, not intruding, but also eying the table to make sure we didn't need anything. And the food was sooo good. Gluten free buns, pizza and pasta.

Carla Engelbarts

I cannot emphasize enough how perfect our experience was. Our daughter has celiac and Jimmy went out of his way to make sure her meal was safe AND delicious for her! My husband and I have been here 1/2 dozen times and Every time we are very happy w/the service, food and drinks! You will Not be disappointed w/a visit to Stone Eagle!

Sue Allen

I had the grilled chicken on a gluten-free bun - very good!

Adam Rosenbaum

Really impressed with how great the food is for a brewery. My wife has celiac disease and their menu had plenty of gluten free options. Of course the drinks were good too!

Tyler Fancher

Great service with even better food! Our waitress Grace was amazing at her job, knew the menu very well. Made it a point to make sure my girlfriend who is gluten-free got exactly what she wanted and needed. The portion sizes are massive and the food is great! Would recommend to anyone and we will absolutely be back!

Debbie Giardini

Great food. Healthy options and a menu that works for a vegetarian and vegan. Gluten-free options too

Duane Wendtland

We went to Tavern on Clark for the 1st time tonight. The food was excellent! My girlfriend has a gluten allergy, and the waitstaff was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding that, which does not seem to be the case in most restaurants in the area. The waitstaff were totally on point, not missing a beat, regarding our entire dining experience. They have a good variety of selections to choose from, which can be from reasonably priced to higher end choices. All in all, we were totally satisfied and would highly recommend this as a spot to go to.

Jason W Hoyt

Awesome pizza! And lots of options. Our family LOVED the gluten-free vegan and the cauliflower crust pizzas. It’s great to see more restaurants offering these options.

Stephanie

Gluten free options and the manager was so helpful about my questions

Alex Vermeersch

Delicious gluten free pad Thai!

Tamra Haerterich

I had a chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun, it was really good. The staff was very freindly and it was clean.

Erin Schanfeldt

Skye was a wonderful server, she approached my allergy concerns with caution and was super friendly and kind!! Great gluten free burger too!

Rosa Vasquez (iamamiwhoami)

This place has been fabulous the last 3 times I went (Cafe & grill side). They accommodated my gluten allergy, which was fantastic! I've enjoyed everything I've had so far here.

Possibly one of my favorite rockford restaurants. The service was excellent. They had a qr code menu which is not my favorite but they gave a paper menu when i asked, and they were very helpful in making up a mocktail when my friend couldn't drink alcoholic beverages but thought they looked nice. The appetizers were good and I had the best chicken meal I've had in a restaurant. My friend really enjoyed their pasta as well, I think it's their favorite. The menu also conveniently labels things based on whether they're vegetarian , gluten free, dairy free, etc, if you have dietary restrictions

Ed LeQuire

I'm mostly gluten free, however it was so worth doing all in on gluten for my visit to Giordanos.

Peggy Daughenbaugh

Gluten free options

Marcy Turek

Excellent! Very accommodating to my gluten-free request. Service and atmosphere were most pleasant! Thank you!

Rebekah Rhodes

They need to be educated on their gluten free procedure. Proceed with caution and make sure you spell out exactly what you need. The cashier was awesome in fixing the issue. The food prepper was rude and made fun of me.

Everyone in Rockford loves Zammutos. It's a great place to take the family for ice cream. Not only is it delicious, but their ice cream is lactose and gluten free, making it healthy. The most popular item on the menu, "the unusual" is a combination of flavored ice, and ice cream, and it's a must try. The workers are very kind, and serve people with greatness. I would highly recommend going to the world famous Zammutos if you're on the south side of Rockford.

Atalissa Wells

This restaurant is amazing! Very clean and welcoming environment. When you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly staff and amazing waiters (thank you, Soyoun Choi and our waiter, Devin). They have an extensive menu with options for everyone, including gluten free and vegetarian. Food was absolutely incredible and timely service. We’ll definitely return and would recommend!

Carol Youmans

Always a place for a great lunch in a relaxing atmosphere by the fireplaces. The food is delish. Being celiac, they have gluten-free options. I have never had any issues.

Jasmine Nears

It's really the service and atmosphere for me. Love the gardens and being able to breathe in the sights and air. Enjoy that during the right season there's indoor and outdoor seating. The food has some great hits like the sliders, burgers, salmon tacos, and most of the breakfast items. I wasn't a fan of the lobster roll or the crab cake sandwich. They also have some gluten free options and fresh squeezed juice. It's a great option for romance, brunch, or just a fancier friendly lunch. It fits all those requirements. Make sure to check out the gardens which is separate and costs about $24 dollars a ticket.

Our daughter and son in law got married on 04/13/2019. They had the ceremony and reception at Franchesco's Ristorante in Rockford Illinois. Kim Salamone and her husband Benny(owners) and daughters Andrea & Michelle were absolutely delightful to work with. Many months before the nuptials they have a tasting for the bride and groom/family .Rachel & Rick chose the Boursin Filet/Chicken Madeira/Gnocchi Basilico, the food was outstanding!!! Also to let you know the head chef is a delight to work with as I had a celiac/3 gluten sensitives a dairy allergy and a sulfite allergy and he absolutely accomodated us as to have no allergic reactions and that was such a relief! Also, as I am the one with the sulfite allergy they ran special to a local store to get unsulfited sundried tomatoes so that I could enjoy the sauce on the Boursin Filet (it just shows you the level of care/detail they put into making everything enjoyable)! We chose the Platinum package which included amazing Hors d' oeurves and 4 hours of open bar. They customize the timing of how you want the event to go. We used the entire room for the ceremony which was beautiful and in 45 minutes they converted the room into our vision for the reception eg. flowers /touches for the head table/lanterns moved to new areas/wedding favor table etc..So if you have a daughter or son who is about to be married do not hesitate to have both the ceremony .and reception at this venue as it was outstanding and exceeded our expectations!! Kim, also made the most beautiful wedding cake and Gluten free cupcakes for those with allergies. Again, outstanding place but more importantly stellar people who made the wedding beautiful and so memorable!!!

Stephanie

Ordered Philadelphia rolls, side rice, gyoza & hibachi steak noodles. Everything was incredible and very fresh. High quality meat and a very friendly staff. Our new go to place!! The sushi was gluten free and safe.

Peggy Daughenbaugh

Great fresh food. Gluten free menu.

Sarah Gesiakowski

They are conscientious for food allergies. I am gluten free and nightshade free which really limits my options at Portillos...but the kids wanted Portillos.

Ian Storck

Great brunch experience. Awesome food and Bloody Mary. Gluten free substitutions available for some dishes.

Christina Christie

I haven't been here since 2021, but I was so glad I stopped in today. Of course, the menus have changed again, which is fine by me. They've actually brought back the $2,4,6, 8, and now 10 menu, and even though I have to eat gluten-free, I was able to find something on the menu for me! The service was as I expected it to be because my server was the little guy that's been there for many years! He's always polite, quick, and full of cheer! My meal was only $5.99 because he suggested it, which could have easily been twice as much , $11.99, under the build your own section, so of course I left him a 25% tip anyways I've given up on restaurants in this area but THANKS DENNYS FOR CONTINUING TO SERVE YOUR CUSTOMERS BY KEEPING YOUR ESTABLISHMENT A CLEAN, WARM, FRIENDLY, AND MOST OF ALL AFFORDABLE 🥰💝🥰

Fun place. Had live music. Sat outside. Food was yummy. I had the Caribbean Shrimp tacos. My friend had a delicious pizza. They had lots of gluten free options too.

Elizabeth Patel
