Ordered a gluten free/dairy free cake for my daughter's birthday party and it was wonderful! The cake design was super cute! I love all of the food and pastry options here as well. I just wish it was closer to where I live in Buckley.

Merissa Peil

Really great fish tacos!

James Brewer

Ordered a gluten-free waffle and a normal waffle to-go today, and they didn't even label the boxs. When we got there, they ignored us

Shannel Squally-Janzen

I am gluten free and dairy free. They have a few options for me. I got the shrimp meal. It was good. But their margaritas and drinks are amazing! They have an amazing selection of cocktail drinks. The service is great! Love the atmosphere, it feels modern and fancy, but you don’t have to dress fancy.

Second time here, and it was just as good as the first time. 1 double cheeseburger with bacon 1 double cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun 1 basket of fries was $34. $9.50 for a jumbo milkshake (two adults could easily share)

Rachael Turkington

Brought four of us to eat after the Kids Museum. Amazing food as always! They have gluten-free pasta to boot. The two kiddos we brought give it all the stars. Very, very kid friendly.

Reggie Ulness

Great food. The waitstaff is good. They have the largest selection of gluten free items. A little pricey but do able.

Evan Hirsch

Great gluten-free and dairy free options!

Jennifer Gayle

The best burger (and gluten free gf burger) I've ever had. Every bite is transcendent. I even tried their breakfast sandwich gluten free this week, excellent of course.

Jennifer Knutsen

It was nice to find somewhere I could eat gluten free downtown, but the quality of the food was nothing special & it was extremely expensive for what it was. The tables were sticky, I don't think it was from not being cleaned, but from the finish on the table, and the iced tea tasted like it was made with twice used tea bags and used beer glasses. I watched the waiter grab a rag and wipe up the floor with his feet, then pick up and handle the dirty rag, put it down and mop the floor again and again, then go handle customers food and bus tables. He was friendly and hustling, but never once stepped away to wash his hands after mopping the floor and handling the filthy rag.

Marzano’s is awesome! We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and a bad accident on I-5 made us nearly an hour late for our reservation. We called twice and they very kindly accommodated us. Our server Ronnie was great and the food was so very delicious. We had the Pork Belly appetizer and my wife had the gluten free Carbonara. I had the Boscaiola. The food was timed perfectly and tasted so good. This was our third time to go there and it is definitely worth the trip from Olympia. Thank you Marzano’s!!

Farelli's pizza is like the pizza places of old with fresh made dough and sauce and lots of tasty options. They don't have a problem with allergies (gluten and dairy) and make the dining experience very pleasurable. Our waiter (so funny and kind)didn't get his name. He made sure our food was allergy free. His table side jovial personality made our time even better. The pizzas, cheesy chicken calzone, were all really delicious! We also got bbq boneless chicken wings and df cheesy bread-so delicious! We will visit again when we are in town. Thank you to our red-headed waiter, which made our experience even better!

One of my favorite places for a burger in the Tacoma area. There was a learning curve for eating gluten free here but feel very comfortable now with staff knowledge. Service is attentive and it is a good place to enjoy a relaxed lunch or dinner. Just a few things to keep in mind: only regular fries are GF, some of the sauces served with fries are not GF, and pay attention to the burger toppings (including burger of the month options). The 571 Burger, Juicy Lucy Black & Blue, Burger Dip (without herb au jus), Regular Parmesan Truffle Fries, Iced Tea, and Washington Triple Berry Shake are great options I have tried. While the Three Pepper Bomb Burger, Truffle Mushroom Burger, The Fatted Sow Burger, Poutine Burger, Jimmy Burger, Waffle Fries, and Chocolate Shake are favorites with family and friends. Very popular with locals so there can be long wait times since reservations are not available. There is outdoor seating in the summer – both at the restaurant and around Point Ruston. While indoor seating is limited – there is seating available for larger groups. To go ordering is available. There is a tablet near the door to validate garage parking.

They have a great gluten free bakery selection! I suggest the cinnamon roll, you won’t be sorry.

Hamburgers built to order including gluten free buns.

Luci Veach

My husband was brought the wrong food. I ordered a gluten free burger and a house salad w/out croutons. Came with croutons and no ranch. The Gluten free bun basically disintegrated. It wasn't very busy. Lots of open tables open. Our drinks were never refilled. The tables are super sticky. That made the rest of our experience even worse. $60 for fish and chips, a burger and a house salad was not worth it. I wish I would have stayed home and cooked my own meal. This isn't my first time eating there. However, it will be my last.

Eric Taylor

Service was excellent. Very good to accommodate my nieces gluten free needs. Food was delicious too!

H Liening

Visited on Halloween and had an exceptional experience. Enjoyed the Lobster Roll with Fries, Beet Salad, and non-alcoholic Headless Horseman. The music was Halloween themed and the perfect audio addition to the fog over the water. This was my second time here since the remodel and have also ordered the Grilled Lobster. Great gluten free options and consistent amazing service can be found here. Free onsite parking available. Indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating. Reservations highly recommended.

Tena Johnstone

I love that they offer gluten free bread! The tea was so delish! Love this place!

Jennie Drake

Absolutely delicious dinner, super friendly staff (Our waitress was Kendra, and she was so sweet, knowledgeable, and patient with our large group) and Celiac friendly!

Alida Hansell

Great spot for delicious seafood. We had the crab dip, blackened rockfish, and mahi tacos with the boathouse margaritas. The service was efficient, friendly, and faster than expected, especially on a holiday. The drinks are great and well crafted. The menu clearly identified gluten-free options, so it was easy to order. They have gluten-free buns, so you can enjoy the dips even with a gluten allergy.

Rebecca Cook

Crepes are made on shared equipment. DO NOT eat them if you have Celiac.

Emily Fenchurch

Gluten-free, allergy aware and friendly!!! Super delicious burgers, spicy smash for the win.

Britt Beushausen

Absolutely stellar service, tasty food (and very accommodating for Celiacs with dairy allergies!), and a really pleasant atmosphere. A little on the pricy side, but definitely worth it.

Cory Pedersen

Love this place for breakfast. Combo of meat and veggie skillet and they cater to my gluten sensitivity

Virginia Samsel

Wanted a milkshake and fries - very happy I ended up with a burger too! Gluten free bread available. Fluffy milkshake, hand cut fries, great people too

Hannah

The gluten free treats are so yummy!

Angela Renzetti

Just a couple of goths looking for somewhere fun to go! We drove down from Seattle midday, cool goth vibes here - wondered what it would be like for lunch and there were a few people, but it was still chill! Great music playing, I had a yummy boozy cold brew drink and was happy to see a "bowl" option (often don't find gluten free options that aren't just swapping for a gf bun or something). The food was great and we got pics in the photo booth too. Loved all the spooky decor!

Allyson Crickenberger

Always had such great food here! Delicious AND Nutritious. Would recommend for the food! But haven't always had the best experiences with the staff including a few uncomfortable interactions. For those who have any gluten intolerance or Celiac's disease we were told when asked if nachos could be made gluten free: "well, the chips are gluten free, the cheese is gluten free and so you can obviously make it gluten free." But, later told their meats have trace amounts of gluten and to be aware on all items except the salads. Heads up!

Elizabeth Bergeron

Justin is the best! Food is a knockout! Great GF options curated with celiac patients in mind. Vegan too. Just awesome espresso and food!

Taylor Patzkowski

Gluten free options and knowledgeable. You can’t have the chips. I had the steak verde enchiladas and they were amazing! Had to go back 2x in one week! 👏🏼

Shenise Ramirez

This is a dangerous place for anyone with celiac disease. They have multiple items on their menu that is labeled gf but is made with gluten. I know this because servers have told me in confidence that, for example, the spicy tuna roll, is made with a small amount of soy sauce. I’ve also been told by servers that their ginger that they serve with gf dishes is not gf either. On top of all that, the last time I was there, the fish was old enough to give my partner and I diarrhea and stomach pain.

Master Maggie Li

We enjoyed sitting on the patio on a nice day. Seafood was fresh, my party was happy with our choices of Lobster Roll (add the tempura green beans for $3!), Northwest Seafood Stew, and Seafood Nachos. Service was great - the server went to the kitchen to confirm whether a dish is gluten-free dish.

David Morrison

I was initially hesitant to dine here due to negative reviews, but decided to give it a chance. Overall, it was a positive experience and I would consider returning. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance with its low lighting was pleasant. They had a good variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options. The cauliflower appetizer was tasty, though it could have used a touch of salt. The kale and mushroom tacos were enjoyable, and the side salad add-on was a good value at $3. The purist margarita was delicious. While our server took a bit long to greet us, the service was still satisfactory. The prices were reasonable. The only downside was that the staff seemed inexperienced, despite it not being busy. I hope they can improve and succeed. I have yet to bring my children here, but I am hopeful that it is kid-friendly. I may update my review after trying it with them.

Piper Ahrens

Lovely dinner spot with a great happy hour menu! Love the tacos and margs! Lots of gluten free options because of the corn tortillas. 🌮 Also amazing chips & salsa!

Amber Miller

Look the food was decent and the wait staff was great. With that said, I probably will not be back. It was comical how awful the gluten-free bun was here. Two bites in and it had completely disintegrated around my fingers and I was left holding bun crumbs and my chicken grilled patty on one side and pickles on the other. It was lunch time but the place was not very crowded at first glance. You walk in in the kitchens on your right and some seating on the left. The bar is in the back and that seems to be where everybody prefers to sit but it's out of sight from the door and I wondered slowly to the back before I realized who was even working there other than the people in the kitchen. It was just confusing not knowing or being able to see where anybody was from the door. Lastly, they upcharge for everything. Getting a side salad instead of fries was an upcharge Even though the fries have gluten on them. The bun was enough charge which I'm used to but then paying for a credit card was also an upcharge of 4%.

Amazing birthday dinner at the rock. We had the queen of hearts buckets and a bottle of champagne to celebrate. For pizza I got the buffalo soldier and my buddy got the thunderstruck both are amazing. My gluten free friend got the stairway to heaven with a GF crust which we were happy they offer. Finished everything off with a cookie skillet, which I am still dreaming about!

Steven L

I was with a gluten-free companion, so we were looking for a restaurant with GF options. Since TCF has such an extensive menu, there were several to choose from or configure. My companion greatly appreciated the fact that the French fries were GF - evidently, that is not so common.

Leanna Ricks

The best gluten free burger buns and pizza around and they do not up charge for gluten free.

L. Byas

Amazing pizza shop with good wine and local beer! Tasty gluten free cauliflower crust, we got the meat lovers, pepperoni basil, and chicken pesto pizzas!

Jamie Brindley-Bagent

Very underwhelming. I went in @730pm on a Sunday. Asked to order a Margarita pizza with pepperoni to go. They let me know they ran out of regular dough but had gluten free. Not an issue for me but odd. I was not told they would up charge me for the gluten free dough. Which they shouldn’t have. My one pizza totaled $18.73 before tip. This made sense now why the couple in front of me didn’t order pizza. So I’m assuming dough is frozen. What restaurant isn’t able to make more dough? It's flour, salt, yeast and water. The pizza came out quick but with hardly anything on it. It was about 9 inches in size which is perfect for one person. But barely covered with sauce, mozzarella or pepperoni. I moved everything to one side to fully cover the dough. Only ate that half. See the photo included. I am bummed with this experience. I was so eager to finally find a great place in Tacoma for pizza. More toppings to fully cover the pizza and not paying for the restaurants lack of ingredients to make dough would have gone a long way.

Megan Huffman

Had a great lunch here. Love that you can build a burger (so many great options, gluten free if you want, and tons of sauces, which I love). Decent beer selection and my husband had the Chicken and Waffles and he said it was amazing! The waffles are delivered from a local bakery, so they were extra nice.

Tess Peck

New to Tacoma. Stopped here for dinner and OMG. I love this place! We had dinner and then ordered takeout so we could eat it tomorrow too😁 Everything we had was so good, and our server was amazing. I have celiac and our server knew the menu so we’ll, he was able to offer suggestions for me, and swap sauces on a couple of items so I could eat them. We intend to work our way through the menu! We definitely see this place becoming one of our favorites.

Mike Geary

Love this place!! My wife who has a gluten allergy loves it to. One of the only places she can go and eat French fries since that is all they put.on the fryers.

Jessica Seigel

the best coffee shop in all of Tacoma. The spiced chai is actually spicy and it's so delicious. They have a mix of gluten free and vegan pastries and they keep their gluten free pastries separate from their regular pastries so it's celiac safe. Highly recommend!

Kelly Thomas-Coyle

Delicious with gluten free options. Wine was lovely, we enjoyed ourselves immensely

Ray Finch

They have gluten free pizza with a great crust

Piper Ahrens

I love this restaurant! I've been here a couple times and I've never been disappointed! They have a great selection of gluten free options and the staff is so helpful and accommodating! 5 stars :)
