Sooo delicious! I have celiac i went here for dinner with my sister and i got a fried chicken sandwich with their waffle fries and ohhh my god it was delicious! We got two burgers to go for a late night snack. We’re going back in the morning for breakfast. This is probably my favorite spot while visiting Nashville

Love Hawkers!! Lots of Gluten free options. Food is delicious and the staff is always fantastic. Mikel was our server and he was great!

Jared created an amazing experience for us on a birthday night. He was very attentive to all of our requests and went above and beyond! The food and drinks were incredible and the atmosphere was perfect. An overall fantastic night! Would highly recommend for gluten free and vegan!

This place is incredible! As a celiac it is hard to find safe food that is also tasty and greko hits it out of the park every single time.

I've been going to Mitchell's since 06. I don't eat sandwiches much anymore but when I do I come here. The turkey apple brie is great. So is the French dip. Great exotic n/a drink selection. And gluten free buns.

New favorite spot in Nashville! I have gluten, dairy and fish allergies and they were SO helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious (I got the paprika chicken and Avo Hummus with veggies instead of bread), plus the cocktails were out of the world and the wine selection was great. Staff was also amazing, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great vibes for a date or going out with friends!

Service can sometimes make or break a place. Our server Sam, a guy with the bleach stained shirt, liked to just stand around more than figure out we were trying to flag him down. Trying to celebrate a birthday and him forgetting food we put in. Gluten friendly flatbread was delicious! Other than that, good atmosphere, just the service team could seem a little more attentive than having gossip circles.

Friendly place and great bowls!!! Someone referred me to this place and I go all the time now. If you are looking for a place organic, vegan, or gluten free; come here! You won't be disappointed

Nolan McNamee

Absolutely delicious food. We’ve been here twice now and were amazed with all the food both times. We’ve had the Pad Se Ew, Pad Eggplant, Fried Rice, some sushi rolls and a few apps. Lots of gluten free options too, just need to ask/verify.

Just really good pho, straight up. And don’t sleep on the coconut curry noodles - they are AMAZING. Almost everything is gluten free, which is a nice touch.

Wil Jordan

Best fried chicken I’ve had. Gluten free these days so haven’t had much fried chicken over the past couple years but this chicken was better than any chicken I remember having.

Shep Shepherd

The food and service are outstanding. I have never had a bad meal from either Nashville location. The corn tortillas are amazing and there are so many Gluten Free options (with corn tortillas). They are always great at working with food allergies. This is a great place to take kids and meet friends.

The fine dining experience is like a dance. When everything comes together, from parking to service to food and even the restroom is lovely, it's a fun and satisfying dance. Sometimes one or two things are off, but the food comes and it's so delicious you forget about how hard it was to park. My husband and I live right down the street and went to Lou for the first time for brunch to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately too many things were off and the dance didn't do it for me. It was a rainy day and people were double-parked in Lou's lot (which is tiny: be forewarned you need to show up early), so my husband had to circle the block and park down the street. Before he came in, two servers checked on me. After he came in, soaked to the bone, we sat and waited probably a good 5 minutes before the servers came back. Which wouldn't be so bad except we were sitting in the middle of the room, watching everyone else being served, and I'm looking at a soaked man who for some reason decided against grabbing an umbrella before we left the house, and it's already a bad start. Once the server came, I was like, Okay, now things will be better. But then the hits kept coming. They don't serve decaf coffee. Plenty of other dietary concessions like gluten-free and vegan, but no decaf. They didn't have the tartine, the one thing that appealed to me most on the menu. We did the sticky bun instead. It was dry and almost burned on the bottom. We ordered the crispy potatoes, but I didn't look up what "toum" is. Raw garlic whipped in oil. The potatoes were so strong I could only eat a few bites. But the pancake--it was magical. Definitely the brightest spot of the meal. It made staying in my seat doable. I know this sounds dramatic, maybe even like a large dose of "first-world problems." I realize I chose my dining companion and it's my problem when I can't detach from his bad attitude and have a good time in spite of things going wrong. But this is real life. These are the things restaurants are up against when trying to give patrons a good experience. And the overall combination of our individual experiences and choices and Lou's choices and circumstances on the day was less than desirable. We will probably give Lou another try because we could see their good intentions. And the pancake was out of this world. And the restrooms are truly lovely. But next time we'll bring lower expectations. And a second umbrella.

Delicious, as always. I'm sad that some of the other places at The Wash have closed, but Soy Cubano is consistently fabulous. They also have several menu items that are gluten-free.
