Sarah Cichon

Love this place to enjoy quality food with my celiac daughter.

Bob

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

We visited during our vacation and had an incredible experience. Our server, Ellie, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and ensured that my daughter, who has Celiac, had all the items clearly marked as gluten-free. They use separate fryers and cooktops, and even offer gluten-free buns and wings! The food was so delicious that we decided to come back the very next day!

Molly Vielhauer

absolutely love their gluten free pastas!

Perry Andrews

It's so great to have a restaurant in our town that so consistently creates and serves the community wonderful, fresh, sustainable, delicious food. And for someone who has to be gluten free, to be able to have something like the GF pumpkin pancakes of my last visit is the bomb.

Yixiu Chen (Christina)

Lots of vegan and gluten free options

Erin A

I had a great experience here with celiac disease. The server answered my questions confidently and personally walked me through the menu. They confirmed when bringing out the cauliflower appetizer that it had come from the dedicated fryer. I enjoyed a burger and tater tots. Highly recommend!

Nora Bengtson

All flavors except 1 were gluten free and they had gluten free waffle cones!!!

Abigail Vargas

Found about this place in the gluten free places app, we loved the good, the ambiance and the service. Will definitely come back if we are around

Anna Drechsel

Delicious food. I really appreciate so many GF/ Celiac safe options. Great service too.

Liz Palo

Celiac!

Jerry Cornelius

Excellent food and service with a very nice atmosphere! Lots of good gluten options!

Melissa Grant

Love love love this place! Amazingly good! The garlic cheese bread is the best ever! The pizza’s are soooo good! They did a wonderful job on the gluten free crust! The atmosphere is adorable and we had the best server ever!

Erin A

Had a great experience here with celiac disease, dining out with a friend who also has celiac. The server answered our questions confidently, and we were happy to learn that they have a dedicated fryer. We were told that the bone-in wings are gluten free (along with most of the sauces), and the boneless wings do contain gluten. We opted for burgers, and they were delicious! So were the fries!

I’ve had much better tasting and textured gluten free and vegan selections elsewhere. I would not choose this place as my top option if I needed either of those as a serious accommodation. Pricing for the quality and the service was basically awful. My table got three drinks (two small hot teas and a small latte) and three cake slices and paid $45. The latte was up-charged $2 because I am lactose intolerant and ordered oat milk for it. I understand an up charge because the milk is typically more expensive than regular, but basically every other cafe for miles well out-competes a $2 extra charge. The most expensive I’ve seen locally before this was $1. In a perfect world allergy and intolerance accommodations would cost no extra, as people like me can’t really help wanting to live like others and have a little cafe latte that won’t hurt us. When asked if I wanted a box I said I would, as I still had a half slice of cake left. No box was ever brought to my table and the waiter never mentioned it again even as we said goodbye to him and left. In fact, almost every interaction with the waiter was tinted with what seemed like haughtiness or disdain on his end. Maybe because we only came and sat for desserts and coffee/tea and therefore were not “high value” customers. Overall this place seems full of itself and really not worth the trouble and expense to have sub-par cakes and a cup of tea. Hoping this is a rare experience.

Evelyn Bakken

Amazing! I can believe today was the first time I heard of this restaurant! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a dairy allergy (whole restaurant is vegan) and gluten allergy and they were able to accommodate me! (They do note that they can't guarantee no cross contamination, but they do have a separate fryer!). I was SUPER excited to see they have vegan milk shakes! They are AMAZING! So glad to have another great space I trust for my allergies. The atmosphere was super fun and cozy! I really liked that if I wanted to be antisocial that I can order through a QR code (which was VERY informative about gluten allergies!) You also have the option to order with the staff as well! They were always buzzing around so if you need assistance they are there. The food came out insanely fast and it was pretty busy at the time I was there. They are a tip free restaurant, they price their food so that they can pay their staff livable wages (which they dont advertise as much as I think they should!) Definitely worth the price! Can't express how excited I am about this restaurant from the food to their story AND paying their staff well - I love it! Side note: for anyone scared of vegan food or are worried about trying it - this is the place to do it! (My boyfriend wanted me to add - as someone who doesn't have allergies or have any experience with vegan meats - he loved it and said he could hardly tell the difference)

I've always been a fan...until today. I'm stuck with a gluten and dairy free diet so DG has always been a go-to thanks to their menu. It seems they no longer are so keen on being accommodating. Except for a couple of pork dishes there's no options for both without the pig and no substitution for the meats. I had an amazing server who tried to come up with something besides eggs and hash browns that I can make at home for a fraction of the $$$. I was stuck with a bland skillet with two eggs, a mountain of guacamole, and the dryest, hardest fake chorizo I could try to imagine. It was a very expensive, very disappointing, downright bad meal. (But no gluten or dairy.)

McKinsey Hurd

Our server was very friendly, just not super attentive. Sat many times waiting for a drink refill. That being said, as a Gluten Free gal, they have MANY options. The tacos were amazing. My friend got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and wasn’t impressed as it tasted more like curry sauce.

Trina S

Great atmosphere inside and out. MVK patio is very dog-friendly. Service is friendly and fast. Our server wasn’t very knowledgeable about vegan options. We ordered the only vegan main course, ratatouille. Unfortunately, the vegetables were under cooked and the seasoning wasn’t anything special. The tahini carrots were also undercooked. The spring rolls are premade, so lacked the chewiness of fresh rolls - and cannot be ordered without cilantro 😖 We did enjoy our drinks and the vegan/vegetarian slider that was on HH special was very good… just wish they offered it on a gluten bun. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend MVK for vegan fare, BUT I do recommend if you are looking for an attractive, dog-friendly patio with good drinks, friendly service and a social crowd.

taylor cammer

Best burger I've had in a long time! I have celiac and finding places to eat is very difficult. They have a separate fryer for only French fries, which are honestly amazing.the burgers are juice and cooked great, and the gluten free buns are soft and really good. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area, if not if all time.

Kasia

Very celiac friendly, the food is very fresh and vibrant. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wish it had a bigger seating area so I could bring everyone I know :)

Robin K.

Did Gluten Free okay. Server was nice but not having the best day. Asked the hostess if we could have a table instead of a booth. She said yes, then sat us at a booth and took off before we could say something. We had an elderly person with us who struggles getting in and out of a booth. Needed a chair... But we managed. Server dropped silverware that knocked the lemon off my iced tea glass. And people just left it on the floor... Employees were all just stepping over it. I was afraid someone would slip on the lemon so I ended up taking care of it. Not sure we will be back. Food was okay nothing special but the prices are above average.

Brian Kennedy

Our go to "fast food" spot. Gluten free burgers. Sports Bar atmosphere, not our thing, but it's always.

Natalie Olson

Chicken wings, chicken tenders, cauliflower crust pizza

Anthony Meshnick

Great food, atmosphere, and service. The downside is no separate dedicated fryer for gluten-free, which is surprising since they have so many gluten-free options on the menu. Would be five stars if they had a separate fryer.

Pam Cleary

A personal favorite. Menu is always a crowd pleaser in our group. Love the gluten free options. Service is always top notch, feels like it is balanced between attention and privacy. We will keep coming back for great food and great service. The Christmas ambiance is the bomb. So festive.

Anna Drechsel

So nice to have gluten free / celiac safe options! Yummy food.

Kelly Reymann

Waited 45 minutes for 2 omelettes with hashbrowns. Omelettes were small, ham was sliced up lunchmeat and the hashbrowns were so salty they were inedible. The female staff person emptying the garbage went straight to touching clean silverware and then to serve our food without washing her hands. The only good part of the visit was the gluten-free chocolate muffin, however, I will find out in a couple hours if it was actually GF. I would not visit this place again.

Abigael Ensor

Very GLUTEN-FREE/ DAIRY-FREE friendly! I visited September 7th after work and enjoyed the happy hour menu. Everything was as beautiful as it was scrumptious! I had sushi and the fried chicken and hot sake. I also ordered 1 serving of Uni. It was the perfect after-work treat! I highly recommend this gem. The server/bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and a cheery, helpful attitude. I will 100% be back as often as I can. Nice portions, delicious sushi!

Kirsten Garvin

Kingdom has great coffee, but it’s the people behind the bar that make this shop what it is. I look forward to my drink as much as I do the friendly, joy-filled conversation — best way to start a morning. An added perk is that Isabelle and Jaeden put so much thought into selecting healthy, whole-food ingredients for the entire menu — both for the drinks and for the food. They also have delicious bakery goods (many gluten-free) made by a local bakery. Make a stop. You’ll be glad you did!

Laura Zats

Lots of GF options in the pasta and pizza sections (not many in the sandwiches or starters). I was excited to hear that their Alfredo sauce doesn’t use a roux so it was safe to eat! However, it’s frustrating that they make you ask the server what is able to be made GF instead of denoting it on the menu the way they do plant-based options.

Abby Metcalf

SO so good! It is kind of is set up like a chipotle but with Mediterranean food. It's delicious and filling food that makes you feel good after you eat it too. I have a gluten and soy allergy and they were able to accommodate- I went for the lamb bowl. Plus that garlic sauce is SO good. They also cook the fries in a separate fryer which means GLUTEN FREE FRIES (iykyk). Plus the staff is really nice and friendly too. Highly recommend!!!

Ashley Lushinsky

Can make most things GF and have separate fryer and kitchen space

Mahesh

This is one of the best and most authentic pizza places I have been to. I loved the amount of variety they had for vegetarians and on top of that for vegan and gluten free options. Every single item on the pizza tasted very fresh and melted in the mouth. The server recommended us a local beer and it was amazing as well. Overall a great dining experience after our visit to the nearby Minnehaha Falls. Will surely visit again and wish they had more outlets outside MIneapolis.

Michelle Wolf

A clean convenient location for lunch or dinner with a variety of food options and excellent service. Gluten sensitive and healthier options are available, and we were told they use a dedicated gluten sensitive fryer. We liked the gluten sensitive options so much we forgot to take a picture when we first got them :). Sorry!

don chouinard

So we came here for lunch and there were 6 other people in the restaurant. We ordered our food which was a burger and fries and a Philly cheesesteak and fries. We were very clear the Philly cheesesteak needed to be gluten free as my wife has celiacs. We waited over 40 minutes for our food and then the Philly cheesesteak came out with deep fried onions. Terrible service for average food at best. Last time we stop here.

Zane Zbacnik

One of the best restaurants in Duluth if you don’t want to spend a lot of money but do want good food and have a good time. It gets busy during dinner time like most places and they have music every night so if you aren’t into how loud it gets it’s still worth it to order takeout, which on Saturday you have to do in person. I recommend avoid using a car to get there since parking is very limited in the area when it is busy. They have a lot of different food options so if you need vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free they can accommodate you. Honestly I don’t think they have a single bad item on the menu.

Michael Hoffman

Stumbled into speed bingo, really fun. Won a nice prize. We came for the gluten-free options. Appreciate having choices

Jennifer Leal (Jenn)

My wife and I had the welcome party for our wedding here and Halina and the rest of the Number 12 crew were amazing! Halina took extra care to put together a wonderful charcuterie appetizer for us, and they did a fantastic job accommodating one of our gluten free guests. The space was perfect for mingling with everyone and there was space for the kids to play games outside. I can’t recommend this place enough for an event, or even just a delicious drink!

Elisanna

I’ve gone here about 5 times over the past few years and I’ve always had a lovely experience! Great food, service, and a quiet atmosphere. The pickle fries are especially amazing!! The prices are also very reasonable, which is a plus. They also have gluten free bread options which is a HUGE plus. Thank you!!!

Jarrod Nelson

Nice menu with clearly labeled items for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc. Food was nicely seasoned and drinks were delicious. Only caveat was the papas had an odd flavor to them with the sweet paprika.

Breya Hoeppner

The gluten free options for this restaurant was the best part of the experience my boyfriend and I had. Although the food was decent, the staff were extremely loud, at some points rude to my boyfriend and I when ordering and asking questions, and also just not being respectful of guests in the restaurant.

James Bolin

Awesome gluten free options including an amazing GF cheesecake!

Jody Kreuser

We had a great experience at Red Cow Wayzata. All staff extremely attentive and took extra care and concern for my friend with celiac. Chris our server was delightful, he made sure our experience was flawless! Dan & Jody Kreuser

Meghan Doyle

My family had a wonderful experience at Mom & Pop's! First of all, the dairy-free & gluten free options were awesome. Second, the staff was super friendly, everyone loved their ice cream flavors, and we enjoyed the outdoor seating! Delicious!!

Before Curry in a Hurry, I loved going to Gandhi Mahal. When its location was lost in 2020, I was happy they set up this location and go as much as I can. It is my favorite "Indian" food restaurant. (The owners are Bangladeshi so it is technically more Bangladeshi fare). Indian food is usually good in regards to having great gluten free options and Curry in a Hurry is no different. In some ways I like the location and sitting outside during the summer to eat food. I typically eat their Chicken Tika Masala but I have eaten their Chicken Vindaloo. Beware though with the Chicken Vindaloo. I consider myself to have a very high tolerance for hot food, but that Chicken Vindaloo has to be the most punishing spicy food I have ever had in the Twin Cities.
