We had great service. We were the only ones in this night! I had a gluten free pizza and it was quite good.

Honestly offended by my door dash order. Ordered a gluten free bacon burger that’s supposed to come with all the fixings…special sauce, lettuce, tomato, etc… I got a dry burger with absolutely nothing on it besides meat, cheese, and bacon. Got a salmon dish with what was supposed to be cooked broccoli and the broccoli was RAW? I’ve never been so disappointed by an order and I will never been ordering from here again.

Fries soggy no taste, Ribs delivered without barbecue sauce. Corn bread extremely dry weat added so gluten sensitives cannot eat this. Macaroni was good.

I’ve never heard of this place and was in the area and saw it so I stopped in. Overall a fantastic experience. The entire staff was professional. Greeted you like they liked their jobs!!!! Cooks 100% know how to make delicious food. Frank the general managers personability, and professionalism made the experience. Nicolette was great with accuracy of my order and very nice. The gluten free bread was sooooo goood!!! The signature club was the best deli sandwich I have ever had! I also enjoyed the tomatoe and cucumber salad. Great amount of avacado as well. Quality is fantastic and great price for it. The place was also extremely clean , which was impressive to me with how poor work ethic is out there, it was refreshing to see this. I will 1000% be back .

So upset and disappointed. My major complaint is the fact that we EXPLICITLY explained that there were members of our party with celiac disease. They claim to have gluten FREE options, not gluten friendly. Gluten free. We had a large party there for a birthday. Our server was great and stated that she also has celiac disease and assured us that she understood the challenge. We thought that would be very much to our benefit. It is very difficult to find a safe place to eat with this disease. Unfortunately my girlfriend got poisoned with gluten. Yes I said poisoned! If you have never experienced what someone goes through having a serious algery to gluten you wont understand the pain and discomfort it causes. There is no cure and nothing lessens the pain it causes. We drove about an hour home and she has been throwing up for hours now. From experience I know that she will be sick for about a week. Again our server was great. Somewhere someone screwed up BAD! This disease is horrible and we are extremely careful about where we eat. We are always relived when someone says you are safe here, or I have it or I completely understand and will take care of you. Unfortunately we will not be back to this location. It is not an option when people you love get sick like this due to someone else's lack of knowledge. Sad because we have had several family functions here in the past.

I rarely write reviews but felt very inclined to write one after my experience yesterday at this location. I unfortunately recently found out I have Celiac disease and cannot eat gluten. Even accidentally cross contaminated can be an issue for me. My daughter and I went here yesterday for lunch. I ordered her a quesadilla and asked if they had corn tortillas for myself without mentioning anything about my condition. The young lady working asked me if I had an allergy or Celiac and I told her Celiac. She was extremely educated on the issue, promptly changed her gloves before making my food and informed me they didn’t fry anything in their fryers with gluten. I was literally blown away by her understanding of the disease and her professionalism. Thank you to this Chipotle location for training your employees correctly! She was seriously amazing. I will definitely be driving the extra 10-15 minutes to come to this location from now on.

Had an amazing brunch at Lucky Brunch! I ordered the Triple Meat Omelette and the Triple Berry Cream Cheese French Toast, and both were absolutely delicious. The omelette was packed with flavor, and the French toast was the perfect balance of sweet and creamy. I also appreciated that they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to! Highly recommend!

First thing you are greeted at the door by friendly staff. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a bit noisy inside when it’s packed, which is most of the time. Food is amazing! And they offer GLUTEN FREE!! I’ve had the Gluten Free French Toast, and the Gluten-Free Eggs Benedict several times and it is always yummy!! When you ask for maple syrup, they bring you your own little bottle! Today I had a salad with chicken, pecans, bacon and a warm honey mustard dressing. It was delicious! My friend had the lemon blueberry cornbread. Delicious!! This is now a favorite restaurant!

If you have a food allergy, DO NOT GO HERE!!!! They do NOT understand their ingredients. in '17, I ordered perch that was marked GF, when I got it, it looked like it was dusted in flour. I asked my server, who went and checked with the chef, and came back and said it was "absolutely gluten free." I ate it, got miserably sick, and called the next day. Through some discussion, the manager did say, yes, the fish was dusted in some flour so as to not stick to the pan, but it's not coated in anything. I tried to explain that any exposure to wheat, ANY - even a "dusting" - will make me VERY sick. Now, today in January '21, I decided to give them another try. I asked if the fries were coated. They said no. I got the fries, and noticed they were coated. After a back and forth with the hostess and cook, with both of them telling me there is no coating, the cook brought out the box they came in, where I personally pointed out the ingredients in the coating, which included wheat. So, again, if you have a food allergy, DO NOT EAT HERE, you might die.

We had a chance to meet our friends to try out Don Patron Mexican restaurant last night. The owner Gustavo was so accommodating with my food allergy (gluten-free) and was so involved with every aspect of our meal. I highly recommend this place for an enjoyable meal!!

I don’t leave many reviews but having scoured the area for years looking for decent gluten free food I would be remiss if I didn’t. Salad is fresh and the homemade ranch is to die for. Then I ordered their gluten free pasta with palomino sauce and baked cheese…*chef’s kiss* Non gf family recommends the meatballs and whitefish dinner!

We hired Ike's to cater an outdoor event for about 30 friends and family. Some are gluten-free, dairy-free and/or vegan. The event could not have gone better. Everything was delicious. Everyone was satisfied.

Amazing desserts! Love that they have gluten free options! My daughter LOVES going here! I remember when my daughter was a baby 3 years ago I ordered treats and in the pouring rain I think one of the male owners or brothers helped me carry everything all the way out to my car. Love all of their foreign treats too and to see how far they’ve come over the years. It’s like a mix of French, Arabic, and American influences. Haven’t gotten anything there that wasn’t absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!
