Ashley Radzat

Sabrina was kind, informative, and very friendly. The food was the perfect size and the taste was excellent. We had the Korean Noodles with chicken and being somebody that is Gluten free it was amazing to have friend chicken options!!

This was a fabulous place to grab lunch. As a person who must eat gluten free, I found the menu to be friendly to food allergies, the server was knowledgeable, and they took care to prevent cross contamination. The entire experience was terrific.

Pacific Catch is an eco-conscious restaurant working hard to ensure the supply of sustainable sea produce to its customers. The restaurant is of modern design and has options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free. There’s outdoor seating in a pleasant patio area, which they advertise as pet-friendly. It’s licenced, so it has a full bar with beer and wine selections to complement your meal choices. Although its speciality is seafood, a quick perusal of their menu reveals a wide range of international flavours, such as Japanese Wasabi Ahi Poke, West Coast Grilled Salmon, Mexican Grill Guajillo Shrimp, Korean BBQ Bowl Steak or Ribs and Hawaiian Teriyaki Grilled Chicken – just to name a few.

The cost was over $40 for a lunch for 2. The gluten free rolls were delicious. They took the wrong things off my lunch mates sandwich (left the onions on and took off the lettuce.) The French fries were very good and so was the sandwich.

Gluten free options!! Tasty

Best Fresh burgers, amazing shakes and delicious fries. Wish there were more locations. Love their gluten free bun!!

Jason Guthrie

$47 for 3 hamburgers and a fry, to-go. Got home, not sure if they ran out of buns or if they are doing something new, but all 3 had what appeared to be wheat or gluten free buns. Fine... but it completely changed the taste of what we wanted and at $50 for a 2-person dinner, really felt disappointed. Been here 5 or 6 times and it's been disappointing at least 3. When everything is right, it's pretty good, but even then a bit pricey.

Easily my favorite cafe of all time! Rooted is a completely vegan space, so for those of us who are lactose intolerant there is 0 chance of a mistaken order making you sick. There are also lots of gluten free options. The only dietary restriction I would avoid this place for is a nut allergy, due to the vegan recipes being nut heavy. I don't think I've ever had a bad order from here. The menu is quite large with food, drinks, and pastry options. The food is well portioned, especially for a cafe, no tiny disappointing avocado toasts here! The staff is extremely friendly, some of the nicest baristas I've ever encountered. Being a vegan cafe, there are more non-dairy milk options here than any other cafe I've visited (oat, almond, macadamia, and soy), personally I recommend the macadamia. I highly recommend the churro latte with macadamia milk + the avocado toast make it fresh + the omega donut. The donuts are definitely "healthier" than your standard ones, but even my friends who aren't into items like that still enjoy them. The space is well set up for a large number of visitors with long communal tables near the door and standard tables near the back and outside. There is also a comfortable couch seating area. The vibes in here are fantastic with lots of plants as well as local art exhibitions. On weekends, there is sometimes a DJ outside spinning. It can get crowded easily though, most weekends it is a bit of a struggle to find a table, even with all the seating. I just wish they would bring back the "churro waffle sticks" from a few years ago! Those were the best item on the menu, but they've been gone for some time now.

Amazing dining experience! The food was fabulous, and service was even better. Definitely ask for Giuseppe, he makes the best drinks!! The food is all fabulous, you can’t go wrong! Their gluten-free options are also fabulous if you have an intolerance/allergy. Will definitely be returning!

Pinky's has great pizza, "thinnish" crispy crust & great fresh toppings! Even the gluten free & dairy free pies are fantastic! Lots of TV's for sports and Pinball too. Service is very friendly. Come get some now! 👍

I loved this place. First time and will go again. The menu has many healthy options, gluten free, low sugar... great pastries. I had their oat pancakes and they were delicious. They are only offering outside seating right now, and it was a bit cold and windy, but not unbearable. They do not take reservations and the wait was pretty long, but we were in no rush so waited patiently. The wait staff was very friendly and didn't take too long to bring out the food. Totally recommend it!

We have dined at Montesacro several times and love this restaurant. I am a big fan of amatriciana and I have been disappointed many times, but Montesacro does this pasta dish right. The guanciale is crispy and chewy all at the same time, and the sauce has a nice smokiness and a little kick to it. If this is your kind of thing, I highly recommend it! They’ll do a simple pasta marinara for the kids (it’s not listed on the menu but is available and is quite tasty!), which my daughter devours, and we all including the 4 year old enjoy the pinsas. We’ve also dined here with friends that need gluten free. Montesacro is a great place if you need gluten free, our friends were very pleased with their options including gluten free pasta and bread. Service is also wonderful and the bartender makes excellent drinks. If you’re an amaro fan, he’ll make you a great amaro cocktail. You can tell the staff at this restaurant take pride in what they are serving. Highly recommend Montesacro!

Torsap is our go to for special meals. My son has celiac and the staff (hostesses/wait staff) here are exemplary at making sure his food is gluten free without cross contamination.

Jessica Fyfe

They have amazing Gluten free pizza and this is hard to find. But.....be careful as we ordered GF and got regular. My husband has a Gluten algeries so we need to be careful as his throat will close up. After taken 4 bites he realized something was wrong. We asked the waiter and he said you didn't order Gluten free. (We know we did because he explained how it is a thicker crust) They took it back and adjusted the bill, which we appreciate but no apologies. The manager was checking in with every other table and never came over to check in with him. As he was clearly having a reaction. We will go back as the food is good but be very careful if you order Gluten free!

Tasty and healthy tapas with a cute brick/industrial vibe. I am a repeat customer here. Has gluten free options!

Joel Marks

Best parchment wrapped bass I've ever had in my life. Absolutely delicious. My best friend works here and he has been for years. He could've probably went somewhere with better pay but this restaurant is just fantastic. They have a huge selection. They are very aware or allergy restrictions and have a lot of different alternatives for people with conditions like Celiac's for example.

Lorey Panetta

Gluten-free custom pizza was delicious!

Carol Criswell

Hosted our son's wedding rehearsal dinner for 36 people here and the staff were incredibly on top of it - flexible and communicative in the planning and attentive during the event. The back room gave us privacy and was so comfortable. The food was DELICIOUS and accommodated Gluten Free, Vegan and Dairy Free guests! THANK YOU COOPERAGE!!!

LOVE Sipeos! For lunch I had the braised beet fattoush salad and the smoky margherita flatbread . It was beautifully plated and tasted even better! The interior bar is beautifully designed- I look forward to sitting there on the evening. We sat outside for lunch- we barely needed the heater on this gorgeous February day. The patio is protected from the breeze. Our server, Kimara, was a delight. Beautiful smile and very attentive. For dessert, we ordered the brownie bliss, which is vegan and gluten free. I am not vegan OR gf and I thought it was DELICIOUS!

Robynn Lin Fredericks

Gluten Free options! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and the food was fantastic! Outdoor seating was a great option for us.

Officially my favorite IHop. ACTUALLY has the gluten free options available. And the staff are really lovely people. Jerry is an absolute treat! No vague smells of sewer either. So nice to go to an IHop and not be concerned that I'm going to catch dysentery.

Cheers to Rotator Taproom! This place is my second home and for good reason. From the amazing owners to the friendly customers, it's all about warmth and community. The owners are not just fantastic people, they're friends. The staff? Knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help you find your perfect brew. They've got it all - sours, West Coast IPAs, gluten-free options, and everything in between. Supporting local breweries? Big tick! Their can fridge is a treasure trove - mix and match, and sometimes you'll stumble upon unique finds you won't get anywhere else. Events here are a blast, with food trucks and the option to order a delicious pizza from Pinky's right to your seat. Next time you're in Walnut Creek, make sure Rotator Taproom is your first stop. You won't regret it!

Have gluten free items, but not well marked. The Cajun fish taco was good.

I was here Sunday morning with my parents when they opened. I never knew there was a Mediterranean spot here in Walnut Creek. I'd always drive by and I'm glad I saw this. The waitress was helpful because my mom has celiac disease and they were helpful on what dish she can eat without having to interact a problem. For those have gluten free issues, don't you worry. This was the best food I can rate. The pita bread and gyro meat was delicious. I enjoyed every bite of it. Street parking is available but it is enforced so be sure to pay the meter. They have indoor and outdoor seating along with a bar in the middle. I will definitely come back and try other items on the menu.

Conrad Ross

This is not a place to go if you have any common food allergies. They don't have vegan cheese, they don't have gluten free options. However, assuming you aren't bound in that way, the slices range from good to spectacular. The Detroit Deep Dish is absolutely killer, and their pesto is very tasty as well. If you want to grab an order to go, make sure to park around the corner at the south locust garage.
