Ordered a gluten free pizza, they gave me a regular crust. Glad it wasn’t a severe allergy issue. They also disregarded specifics in the order all together including dressing, removing items from salad, and forgot a salad in the order all together. They did remake the pizza, and offered a refund, which was kind, however, the manager was the one to take the order so there needs to be more training.

We visit almost weekly for lunch and have always loved the service and quality of food. Their gluten free options are fantastic (I'm Celiac). Our server Jane always takes the best care of us!

Danni Stewart

Amairani was absolutely fantastic! Her customer service was exceptional! When I expressed to her about my gluten-free allergy, she went way and beyond to make sure I wouldn’t get sick. She had great knowledge about the restaurant! I really appreciate the fact that she went way and beyond in her job for us! Because of her, we will be coming back more often! 💕

Good Italian food. Husband loves the Stromboli. They have good gluten-free options.

Kate

This place has incredible food and the service was fast and friendly. Plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options.

Pretty cool place! You order on an iPad and then someone brings you your food. They have craft soda and also alcohol. And if you aren’t hungry enough for a full sandwich you can get a slider. You can also get nuggets, tenders, salads, tots, and fries. They even have gluten free fries, nuggets and buns. And the loaded fries with queso are really tasty! Give it a try before a movie at the Alamo Richardson.

I ordered the Gluten Free Chillerno Burger with Skinny Fries. I made my own Arnold Palmer drink with their lemonade and iced tea. The burger was delicious and the gf bun used was the best I have ever had. The burger was cooked exactly as I requested. It was flavorful and professionally plated. The prices were reasonable and the quality of the food cannot be beat. I highly recommend this location for people with gf issues or not.

Susan Johnson

This place is amazing! Every item on the buffet is absolute perfection. The display of foods consistently looks fresh and clean as if just offered for you! All items are clearly labeled if vegan or gluten free. Everything is so fresh and delicious. This is arguably the best middle eastern restaurant in DFW. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Don’t miss the dessert case on the way out…the baklava is legendary 🥰 My only complaint here is the beautiful floor is SOOOO slick that its dangerous. Scary to carry a tray from the buffet to table while navigating a hazardous floor!

***GLUTEN FREE BUNS AVAILABLE*** Burger was incredible. I got the Olive Cheeseburger. And Lenny is top notch, super professional, very helpful, and very friendly.

Nathan Martinez

I was expecting a counter service cafe style restaurant but it is instead filled with service with a host stand and waiters. The food is delicious! Lots of vegan and vegetarian, and gluten free options clearly marked on the menu!

Ellen Hutcheson

Gluten free options. The rice is NOT gluten free, it has pasta in it, which is sad because I love their rice. The food is delicious and they have veggies to substitute for the rice.

Very happy to find a gluten free / dairy free pho place in Richardson! Their broth is to tasteful and their beef and chicken meats go very well with the pho broth ! The egg rolls are not gluten free, however they do taste good according to my friends who had it. They give you a decent amount of pho and it always tastes fresh. Customer service is great , fast , & accommodating.

Lisa Daugherty

Went out of their way to accommodate my gluten allergy, thank you for the vmbest dinner and service

Terri Tomlinson

Every pizza I have tried has been good. I especially appreciate the gluten free crust which is crispy and light. The staff is nice, prices are reasonable and the ingredients are good quality. The Forager is my fav! Highly recommend.

Juliane Plank

I like this place because the sandwiches are excellent and they have gluten free bread.

Dalila (Imjustdali)

We went for brunch on sunday. They clearly don’t have enough servers for how busy the restaurant gets so the server is rushing you to rotate the tables faster. The server was absolutely BAD. I have a gluten allergy and I’m also Vegan, same as my husband. We understand that the menu is extremely limited for vegans which frankly in 2023 is a joke. There’s so many options that you can serve to a vegan without having to even create new items. The server had no idea of what was gluten free or vegan, he had to go to the kitchen and ask every single time. He also told me that the pesto was vegan (after going and checking) and turns out that I went online and check the ingredient list and it has milk on it. What a joke and disrespect after asking him so many questions. The iced coffee is so watery you can’t even taste the coffee flavor. The menu doesn’t specify ANYTHING about dietary preferences and the staff is definitely not trained properly. I won’t ever go back or recommend this place.

A wonderful vegan restaurant that serves food that is good for your health and wellbeing. There are some items that is not body safe. Majority of the menu is top notch in the quality of products you can consume. The customer service is super amazing. Everyone is very attentive. The energy is amazing in this place. They attract beautiful souls to this place. It’s magical. My favorite is the chicken pesto lasagna it’s packed with flavor. The fried cauliflower is fried to perfection literally the best cauliflower I have had to date. The gluten free chocolate cake blew my mind it was so delicious. It’s a challenge to find people who can make delicious healthy vegan deserts. I’m a huge fan of lions mane and the dish lacked flavor it needed more seasoning. It was cooked tender and juicy. I love that. Also the basil oil sauce was good when I dipped the palato in it. That lacked flavor as well. It was cooked perfectly though. The macaroni was cooked well it just lacked a lot of flavor. It’s very light and for those who follow me knows I love a lot of flavor. I enjoy my whole body vibrating when I eat. It lets me know my soul is happy. The orange blossom mocktail was very good as well. Highly recommend you try this restaurant. You will find items you enjoy!

Great quality food lots of flavor with a variety of different types of tacos. Comparable to Torchys but better imo due to the menu selection. Gluten sensitivity menu too

Kineret Yardena

My partner and I love the food here! We usually order the masala dosa, pakora, samosa, and several of the curries. Everything tastes delicious and home-cooked with love. Today I tried the lunch buffet for the first time- absolutely delicious! They have various chicken dishes as well. Highly recommended! Our favorite Indian place in Dallas. They are sensitive to vegan and gluten-free diets as well.

Kathy Clark

We discovered this restaurant in early May, 2025. We went because of the gluten-free substitutions. We went twice in one week. The first gentleman that waited on us was amazing. We ordered one gluten-free pizza and one regular pizza. They were both very delicious. The chopped salad was amazing and to my surprise, the pistachio cake was phenomenal!! Very light and tasty. My manager got the dark chocolate and espresso dessert and at first she was skeptical about the dark chocolate ice cream/gelato but after that she's convinced it should never be served with vanilla. The second time I went with my step-daughter after a golf lesson. We got pizzas, the Fritto Misto (the best I've ever had!), and the copped salad. But the female waiter said she really couldn't have us order the pistachio cake and take it with us. We were too full to eat it there. That was a huge disappointment. I get it that it's better fresh, but it would have tasted the same even if it had fallen. Overall, I will definitely go again when I'm in town.

Sonia Galceran

This is the one Italian eatery that our whole family can eat at. Their gluten free, and cauliflower pizza are delicious! For those of us that can eat regular pizza it is definitely delicious.

Shelley Biemans

Such nice variety! I love their seasonal options in addition to their Haystack house specialties. They even have gluten free buns!

Alana Krafsur

Had the most amazing experience here! I’m gluten free and without hesitation, I was accommodated. The food was incredible and I loved the holiday tea. Being gluten free can oftentimes feel isolating when restaurants don’t have many options, but this place made me feel so included and cared for. Will be back!

Waited in line for almost 30 minutes just to be told no gluten free bread. They usually always have it here. Please put a sign up so you don’t waste customers time.

Adam T

The staff was very friendly. They have an outdoor patio for cool evenings. My food was good. They have homemade cocktails and whiskey flights at the bar. There were gluten free options on the menu.

Lauren Eastman

They have a buffet so there was no service involved. They have everything labeled of the contents whether that be gluten free, nut free, or dairy free which is nice. $21.99 per person which is awesome especially for unlimited food.

Cindy Payne

I'm gluten free and they are able to safely accommodate. Very friendly.

Alyssa Roberts

Server was rude and acted like I was crazy for asking about certain items on the menu being gluten free. Corn tortillas had wheat flour in them apparently. Both manager and server seemed to know absolutely nothing about the allergens in their food. The manager himself actually had to look at their own online menu to even give me examples of what I could get, which was essentially just bread/toast/sandwiches. Cross contamination was also a huge issue, never specified any gluten free prep area in the kitchen and other than the bread I was refused any accommodations. Never coming back, staff seems incompetent and the range of gluten free items isn’t nearly big enough.

Janay McDonald Wilborn

I don’t actually want to tell you how great this spot is because I want to keep it all to myself. But that’s not fair to you! Amazing service, excellent coffee, delicious treats including gluten free options. Go now!

Kristin Edstrom

Food was good and service was fantastic. We sat at the bar and it was very comfortable. The inside is intimate but didn’t get as loud as I would have expected. The patio is fabulous and I can’t wait to go back when the weather is better. My friend has a gluten allergy and I was super impressed by how the bartenders took care of us. We had apps at the bar, but then I got 2 meals to go. When my to go order was brought out, the 2nd bartender said she noticed on our ticket that there was a gluten allergy and she wanted to make sure we knew the to go meals were not gluten free. I appreciated her attention to detail and concern for our health. P.S. Order the deviled eggs!

Derek L. Smith

I like that my gluten- and dairy-intolerant daughter can eat a filling meal there. I unsatisfactorily chose carnitas in my burrito this time, so I will resume my tradition of selecting grilled chicken in the future. I am salivating now....

Todd Paquette

Took the family to Shady's tonight. Not the first time and not the last time, but possibly the first time that I have reviewed the experience...and tonight I am compelled because of our server (more on that later). This is a good review. Our most recent visit was on a Monday night at about 6pm. As expected, the restaurant was fairly busy, but not so much so that we couldn't just walk in and grab an outdoor shaded table with views of the Olympics and MLB on TV. The atmosphere was just as you would expect...welcoming and warm and clean. The drinks, starters, and burgers were as dependable and tasty as usual. The big deal tonight was our server. First of all, he was about 7 feet in height. We very quickly moved past that because he was right on top of server duties. To be quick - he brought us waters, took our drink order, came back and took care of starters and dinner orders. He was extra attentive without being weird or intrusive. Totally great in accommodating a couple of special orderings on our part. However, the icing on the cake, was that late in the meal, we ordered an extra meal for my Celiac daughter who was joining toward the end of our dinner experience. We ordered a burger on a gluten free bun and fries...he was very quick to let us know that the fries would be cooked in a fryer that did not discriminate between gluten and gluten free. He went so far as to let us know that the fries could be a concern for people with Celiac. He might be the very first server, at any restaurant around the country, that we have encountered in the past twelve years who connected gluten free with Celiac! He was very considerate and even presented the to go meal in separate bags so as to not cross contaminate the gluten free burger with the fries. I can't say enough how about how appreciative we were to have a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and generous server. Go check out Shady's if you are in Canyon Creek.

Jane Ahrens

Food was good. Space was nice. Service friendly. Upscale Tex Mex. Not much on the menu for vegetarians but if you ask, they will give you a few off-menu selections. I prefer symbols on the menu to indicate gluten free, dairy free, etc. Maybe they will add this.

Jessica Pinns

Mediocre location. Probably won’t ever come here again. The cashier was so quiet and mumbled so much I couldn’t understand him… no gluten free buns, no milkshakes, no tap pay… and the employees were just standing around talking as I waited for my order. Zero sense of urgency.

saba ahmed

Food, service, and atmosphere was nice. Would go back again. Decor was nice as well. Like that they have gluten free bread as well!

Vin Zeeland

I love this store. Great environment and coffee. The Gluten free banana bread was superb!

jeremy lyle

I was thoroughly impressed with Thai's Thumbz. i made an order online for pick up, and specified that i was gluten intolerant, while i was still on my way to the restaurant i got a phone call and they let me know that their fried rice had soy sauce in it that was not gluten free, so they made a shift on the fly and made sure i was happy with the Pad Thai, i asked them if there was a change in price and they said they would just take care of it for me. when i arrived the atmosphere was very elegant, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. when i got back to my hotel with my food, the portions were ample and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommended

Swank Yankee

The scallops were perfectly cooked. Need I say more? The staff were friendly and efficient, they were great about my allergies to gluten and dairy, and the chef came out to say hello. I had a view into the kitchen - it was clean and the many staff worked together like a well-oiled machine. Again, the food was great and we enjoyed a delicious meal. We will be back!

Adam T

Service was fast, and my waitress was super friendly. Sitting out on the patio was perfect on a cool evening. I had the chorizo and scramble egg meal, and it was really good. Chips came with 3 types of salsa. Patio is dog friendly, and they had gluten-free options as well.

Avery Hicks

We have been twice and the staff has been super knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to allergies on both occasions. They offered us a gluten free cake that wasn't on the menu after we finished our courses to enjoy with our cocktails and the deviled eggs are to die for.

Barbara Cornelius

Delicious, gluten free and fast. 😊

Abril Goforth

Great for a quick bite at lunch or a longer visit at dinner. Options for gluten free people, too.

Annette Berger

It was good. A different option. We had bulgogi burgers. Mine was bunless it was a gluten-free option.

This was my first experience at this restaurant. I had read the stellar reviews and decided that it would be a great place to go on Christmas Eve. I am gluten intolerant, so I had planned on what I would be eating before arriving. Once, we arrived, I found out that there was a special Christmas Eve menu prepared for the day. Unfortunately, two of us were not able to get what we had anticipated ordering, since the meals were not listed on the down-sized menu. Definitely, a let-down for us. I ordered the Shrimp Cocktail from the Appetizer list. It was very good. For the first course, I ordered the West Texas Salad which was excellent, but I couldn't believe that an establishment at this level does not offer a gluten-free roll. There are enough people now identified as gluten intolerant, that the least you could do is take a page from other well-known chef owned restaurants in the Dallas area and offer gluten-free bread to your patrons. I would have gladly paid extra for the rolls to accompany my meal. Such a small addition could make such a big difference in the overall guest experience. In regards to the Entree Choices, I decided to order the Scottish Salmon which was missing its accent (btw) and a bit overcooked to my liking. The salmon totally missed the mark. I left over half of the filet on my plate with no desire to eat any more of it. The rest of our party ordered Filet Mignon and the Delmonico Steak. They were very pleased with the quality of their meals. The three vegetables offered alongside our entrees were delicious. (Whipped Potatoes, Roasted Vegetables aka Zucchini/Red Bell Pepper, and Burnt Corn). The only dessert that I could safely eat was the Texas Pecan Praline Ice Cream with Homemade Chocolate Ganache, which was outstanding. The employees were very engaging and dressed up in festive holiday fashion. Several individuals approached our table to see if we needed anything. Some employees came by to just say Hi! One particular employee stood out, she was at the front check-in and had a bubbly personality that was incredible. She allowed me to take pictures on the upper level and then offered to take our group's photo on the decorated staircase. I wish I had gotten her name, she deserves special recognition for her stellar attitude and can do spirit! She was spreading joy to everyone she interacted with during the time we were there. On a side note, the restrooms had rolled hand towels instead of paper towels or a hand blower. This was one of those special features that really stood out and was appreciated. Note to the owner of this fine establishment: If you start offering gluten-free rolls or Brazilian cheese bread, I will gladly return. Please consider this small ask. Your business and servers will benefit from it, I assure you.

This is the best gluten-free Thai food I have ever had! It is seriously legit. I have traveled to Thailand multiple times and can attest to the authenticity of the dishes. This is a great take-out restaurant and you can eat in their small sitting area, as well. It is located across from UT-Dallas, so there is a lot of foot traffic in the area. I will be eating here in the future, now that I know how great the food is. My son does not have any diet restrictions and he loved his basil chicken and rice dish. You can't go wrong on any meal here. So good!!!

Texadelfia great WINGS? Who knew! Stepped in for a bite with the hubby last night since he was craving a Philly. I'm gluten-free, so I was prepared to go with the Philly fries, but wings caught my eye instead. I don't typically venture away from what an establishment is known for, but I'm glad I did! I had 1/2 Korean and 1/2 Mustard blend and they were AWESOME!! The Korean had a slight sweet heat, that leaned more towards savory. The sauce was sticky, similar to a BBQ Sauce and sprinkled with Sesame Seeds(Love)! The Mustard Blend was their Mustard Blend Dipping condiment in wing form. The consistency of Honey Mustard, but without the sweet. More like a less pungent Dusseldorf Mustard that works effortlessly with the juicy and crisp wings! The wings themselves were well seasoned(A+) which most establishments don't do, but it really does make all the difference. Fries were fresh and hot, and the Philly was Phillylicious! Next time you visit? Check the WINGS!

Natasha Nelson

It was great customer service, went with a friend who has a gluten allergy. One of the guys called someone to find out what was gluten free that she could eat. We really appreciated that. We will be back.
