This is an amazing place for gluten free options! They have GF options listed on their menu, but can modify many other items. They have gluten free pasta cooked in separate water and they offer rice crust and cauliflower crust pizzas cooked on separate surfaces. The owner doesn’t have celiac, but has the gene and is well aware of precautions that should be taken. I got the Chicken Parmesan which was modified from their menu. They grilled the chicken instead of frying and used GF pasta. We also got the burrata appetizer and they brought me my own GF bread. The bread is purchased from a local bakery. I can’t wait to go back and try the pizza!

Great for a casual lunch or dinner — located in the Park Road Shopping Center, on the side near Michael’s, parking it usually quite easy. The team seemed friendly (and patient). The menu is displayed on the wall as you walk in — it seems to delay visitors and create a bit of a line upon entry (there are also paper/printed menus closer to the register). [To the restaurant— it would be nice if these were also available near the door.] Nonetheless, the menu is clearly labeled with gluten-free options (and veg options). After you order, you grab a table and wait for the team to announce your food is ready — in a fun manner such as “it’s taco time”! I enjoyed the loaded tots and the nachos (both gluten-free) the food was fresh and flavorful. These portions are definitely big enough to share between two people. One note if you are dining in, it is kind to clear your own table, which should include cleaning up food dropped on the table. The team seems to come around and wipe down tables, but on a busy night, it was amazing to see how many diners had not cleaned up after themselves.

We went to Cava with our daughter for lunch. The menu choices for building a salad were almost endless. The menu offers gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, and soy free. We chose grain bowl salads and soup. The various choices of lettuce included romaine, arugula, and spinach with rice and or lentils. We also had roasted red pepper hummus. Chicken was added to the salad with toppings. The salad dressings include lemon herb tahini and other choices. The lunch for all of us was really excellent and very healthy .

Hangover hash is PHENOMENAL. Seriously so dang good. It's hearty and filling but doesn't leave you feeling gross and heavy. Our waiter James was attentive and definitely pointed me in the right direction when I asked for some menu guidance. They had veggie healthy options for my friend on a restrictive diet and gluten free options for my other friend. Highly recommend

Fantastic BBQ and service. It was our first time here, and Aaliyah helped us with the menu, explained the gluten-free options, and even recommended a few of her favorites. There were only 2 of us, but we ended up ordering ribs, burnt ends, and brisket. Sides were coleslaw, bacon wrapped jalapeños, and broccoli casserole. Let's just say that as I am writing this review, I am sitting in a lounge chair with my belt loosened, sliding peacefully into a BBQ coma. Best BBQ I have had in quite a while. Don't sleep on this one.
