Allison K

This is my favorite restaurant! They have a discounted HH everyday (even on weekends) and has great mocktails. They have a staff is great and knowledgeable, everything is gluten free! They have a fried chicken strips are my favorite, along with the cashew queso & the Brussels.

Kailee Browning

The best cafe for anyone with anyone with allergies or diet restrictions. Gluten free options galore along with vegan butter and cheese! The best breakfast spot during a trip in Austin. The. One was eclectic and the staff were all very friendly.

Christina Thornburg

Great food, good with gluten and dairy allergies. Did get a little loud but overall would stop back if we are every in Austin again.

Sophia S

Stopped by for a gluten free pizza. Staff was friendly, but pizza seemed a little overpriced - about $19 for a 10” pie. Folks who have celiac: the ovens are shared. I don’t feel sick after eating there, but will update if I feel any pain.

Angelina Kunkel

Gluten free bakery that is genuinely actually delicious, moist and fresh. Cutest spot, very laid back and incredibly pleasantly surprised by how not “stuck up” it was.

Amanda Garcia

Our waitress Tess was AMAZING!! So kind and sweet! She was very patient with me with my gluten allergy and made sure I was taken care of. Food was also great!

Steve Harrell

Nice spot with great beer and good food. Gluten free options available. Dog friendly, plenty of TV's and parking.

Maggie K

Great food! And really busy, make a reservation for indoor dining. Carnitas and mango margs were my favorite. All gf!

Alex Tripodi

Excellent experience overall. As gluten-free out-of-towners, we were really excited to find a casual pizza place that didn’t overcharge, skimp on quality, or limit options. Madi was an excellent server and really made us feel seen and appreciated as new guests and dietary-restricted folks. We may hesitate to go back next time we’re in town, as we’ve since learned that ownership is a bunch of union-busting assholes. A shame, as it was a really special visit otherwise.

Jennifer Dolan

Was visiting and visited this gem 💎 everything is vegan and gluten free and organic ! I stopped by 2x loved the whole community

Eve Harclerode

One of the best breakfests I've ever had! Got the lemon poppyseed French toast special and it was delicious. Absolutely perfect and decadent. Made with a lemon poppy seed poundcake or bread and a delicious glaze. Got it as the "Lemon Poppy Paris Texas Platter" which also came with migas, which they recommended with queso as the sauce, also super rich and decadent so I maybe would've got it with a different sauce but super delicious nonethless. They have a really wide menu with a lot of variety from savory to sweet and some vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu. Got an iced orange mocha with oat milk, super great drink. The staff were all very kind and helpful and made the experience really pleasant. Great value for the quality and amount of food you get. A really enjoyable and tasty meal!

Alli MacKay

Grabbed lunch with our family and a friend. Our server was super accommodating for my wife’s gluten allergy and our active toddler. We’ve had date nights and lunch at Neighborhood Sushi and the food/service are 5 stars every time.

Syrene Starchilde

Love the patience and genuine friendliness of the staff, and the food was good! You can tell thought was put into texture and taste. Nice and casual spot for your omnis, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten abstaining besties.

Laurel Morris

Great Gluten Free (GF) options labeled on menu, although I wish places just had a separate GF menu. Pork chop & Peahces was phenomenal, along with the soup, Cesar salad, and meatloaf! Usually no wait so reservations not always necessary. Feels healthy.

Jeff B

My favorite spot in Austin! Fantastic food that is 100% gluten free, great drinks and sunset on the patio can't be beat.

Varsha K. Shah

It's such a delight to see vegetarian/vegan Eatery that serves everything like Mexican food, soup, salad, cakes, fresh salad. And coffee too! They have Gluten Free food items as well. The place is very clean and quiet. It's also very huge. I ordered Tamale, Chilaquiles, Fries and fresh Carrot/Apple/Ginger juice for dine-in. Very tasty. For To go, I ordered, Red velvet cup cake and pineapple/Carrot Muffin which i yet to taste. Moreso they open early at 8am. This is going to be my go to place in Austin.

Elizabeth Hamilton

Best gf pizza in town

Alice Madsen

Deliciously smoky brisket. Was thrilled at all the celiac safe options!

Hannah H

Overall, the atmosphere is fairly nice with very kind and friendly wait staff. True Food Kitchen has a well rounded menu with accommodates for vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan with clearly labled dishes for such. Additionally, the flavor profile is fairly diverse so if you are vegan like me, you will not be restricted to a single option and have a few choices to make.

Anna K

I love this place for our family for brunch because they have delicious healthy options for me and classic diner options for my kids. It's a win-win. There's an entire gluten free menu, lots of vegetarian options, and delicious buddha bowls. They also have beer on tap and an espresso machine. I like the atmosphere - it's like a diner but feels more Austin. They're also great for take out and kids.

Christine G

I'm sad that Counter Culture is closing but grateful that I was able to enjoy it for so many years. This place was ahead of its time, offering vegan options before they were readily available at grocery stores, food trucks, etc. The cashew cheezecake is amazing, and I ordered several of them for my birthdays over the years. The gluten free mac'n cheeze is also out of this world. Thank you, Counter Culture, for showing us that we don't have to torture animals (or our own bodies) to enjoy our favorite comfort foods.

Lisa K

Delicious Korean fusion spot, with a great gluten free selection. Staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and guiding me to both gluten free and dairy free options (the latter not too hard in Asian cuisine). The portions are large and an appetizer and main dish some could be shared amongst friends depending on how hungry you are.

Mandy Russell

They have more than one option for gluten free. All the items I got were gluten free. I got a chocolate frosted donut, chocolate chip muffin, chocolate chip cookies (package of 2) and a white chocolate mocha frappe (with coffee). My total was $20.04 Everything in the case is clearly labeled. The lady at the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. Donut was cakey, but not too thick. It had chocolate icing. Muffin was so soft. Tasted buttery and not too sweet for being chocolate chip. I ate it the fastest out of the items. Cookies look like they were hard, but they were soft once you bit into them. Frappe was a good accompaniment to my breakfast.

DJ H

Amazingly delicious food and very efficient service! Highly recommend! Great gluten free options and shown on menu!

Jamie Smith

Did pickup takeout order. Timely and delicious! The gluten free cookie is the best I’ve ever had

Lawrence Powell

Love Kerbey Lane, but this one at around 8 pm was not good. I had gluten free pancakes which were very dry like they had been sitting around for a while and warmed up. My friend ordered a salad and the brought out the wrong one. Very disappointing.

Hannah Helms

I have celiac disease and made that clear to the cashier. They marked “gluten allergy” on my receipt, and of course I only ordered gluten free items. Started having a reaction shortly after finishing my food. This location is not safe if you have celiac disease.

Jacob Villanueva

Best gluten free crust in the game

Caleb Barlow

Ate here for dinner with a friend tonight, absolutely delicious meal! Very impressed with their menu, everything we ordered was good! Plenty of gluten free items marked on their menu which made it very convenient for me to order. Only downside is the price - pretty expensive, so definitely an every once in a while or special occasion type of restaurant. Also skip the drinks, while they were good, they were pricey ($15-20), so save your money for the food!!

Rose

I was really excited to try the Original Pancake House after reading positive reviews, especially about their gluten-free waffles. As someone with a severe gluten intolerance, I was eager to finally enjoy a decent GF waffle. When we arrived, I made sure to clearly specify my need for the gluten-free option when ordering. At first, everything seemed great. The waffles were delicious, and both my husband and I were impressed by how good they tasted, especially for a gluten-free version. However, a few bites in, I started feeling uncomfortable. At first, I thought maybe it was just me, but it quickly escalated. I had to rush to the restroom and realized something was very wrong. It turns out, after my husband checked with the waitress, we had actually been served regular, full wheat waffles—not the gluten-free ones I’d ordered. This is a huge issue, especially for anyone with serious gluten intolerance or allergies. It’s not just a minor mistake—this could have been dangerous. I am extremely disappointed, and this is something that should never happen, especially when dietary restrictions are clearly communicated. It’s hard to trust a place that can’t get something so basic right. I won’t be returning, and I’d advise others with gluten sensitivities to be cautious.

Lisa K

Love this place! Has a great vibe and is one of the only restaurants around that offers both gluten free and vegan desserts on their menu. I recommend the teriyaki bowl with either salmon or crispy chicken, and the chocolate chip cookie.

Scott S

The cashier was forced to watch me be indecisive for 10 minutes about what I wanted to order. Did it with a smile. Now that’s service. Probably gonna fill up my bathtub with that gluten free Mac and cheese.

Lauren Johnson

I love this place and that they use healthier ingredients in their pizza. They use organic wheat for their crust, usually I have to eat gluten free but I am able to eat their crust. They also use olive oil which is much healthier the than the cheaper synthetic oils many restaurants use. I love pesto and their vegetarian pesto pizza is amazing! I also really enjoy their tomato sauce when I get a regular veggie pizza and like to add pineapple to it. Their custom cheese blend is great too!

elmore mundell

Great variety of foods and a whole gluten-free menu. 😋 Very comfortable seating and calm atmosphere. Our food arrived quickly and tasted amazing. Definitely would recommend and definitely coming back!

Lisa K

This was a decent breakfast place. They had gluten free options but the gf menu was dairy heavy so choices are limited if you have dietary restrictions. Portions are huge! And it’s a nice hearty southern comfort food spot.

Eric LaBrant

Aiden was an energetic host and server that kept the coffee mugs full. The food was outstanding. The bake potatoe omlette was an unexpected yum (the green onions really made the flavor pop). My sister had plenty of gluten free options, her pancakes actually had flavor. Don't care for the diner look but I am old school. I miss the cozy home feel of the original location.

Alexander Nagata

A long time Austin standard, Maudie's offers satisfying texmex with gluten friendly options. Going to the trouble of making the GF chips in safe fryers, they come in sealed plastic bags and are available upon request. Their breakfast tacos are loaded and delicious, but the enchilada plates are my favorite.

Caleb Barlow

This is a tried and true south Austin staple with reliably good food and friendly staff to match. I love that they have a whole separate gluten free menu with plenty of options!

Dominique Peel

Love Hat Creek, they have a big selection of gluten-free!

Lily Brannon

Celiac friendly, they show exactly what is cross contaminated on the menu!

Hailey

Had the enchiladas, so good! They don't have flour tortillas, only corn. So lots of gluten free options! If you are a baby with spice, the salsa is spicy, lol. Drinks were good. We went on a Friday around 6pm and were able to be sat right away for two people.

Alley Rubadeau

I ordered the fries with the chicken which is listed as GF on the menu because I have a gluten allergy. They put some sort of beef on there and now I’m sick. No one is answering the phone so I can ask what they marinate their steak in that’s not gluten free. I’m trying to gauge how much gluten I got and how sick I’ll be tonight. Ugh such a bummer. Really wish restaurants would be more careful and just follow the order. How hard can it be?

We firsted tried Loro Asian Smokehouse & Bar via Postmates then our apartment catered from Loro which we found out to be the same place. After trying it twice, we want to experience Loro in person, especially given their expansive menu with so many items to try. Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($13.95): This sandwich came with citrus-cabbage slaw, pickles, hot honey, and smoked hot sauce. They put the slaw and hot honey sauce on the side, but even after adding the slaw and dipping the sandwich in the sauce, it felt deconstructed and didn't quite come together. I think the slaw would have been better mixed with mayo instead of citrus, which didn't complement the chicken well. Unfortunately, the chicken itself was dry and lacked flavor. Char Siew Pork Belly Bowl ($16.50): The pork belly was phenomenal but the portion size was small for the price, especially in contrast to the crispy chicken sandwich. There was barely any rice so they covered the bowl with a layer of veggies instead. The sauce it came with was really good and paired well with the fresh veggies. Wonton Chips & Dip ($8): Wow these wonton pieces are huge and crispy. They paired well with the thai green salsa which I thought was chimichurri. Even with the salsa on, the wonton chips remained crispy for a long period of time. Smoked Shishito Queso ($9.5): These weren't your average tortilla chips but were huge half moon, crispy chips topped with kimchi furikake. There were great with cheese and would have been better if they got it with protein. Smoked Wings ($13.95): Even though the wings were cold by the time we ate them, we could still taste the smoky flavor. However, I was surprised to see the menu description mention miso blue cheese because I didn't taste it at all. The hot sauce was noticeable, but it wasn't spicy.. Smoked Beef Brisket ($18.95): This was one of the best briskets we've had! The meat was incredibly juicy and fatty, though you could easily trim the fat if preferred. The chili gastrique and Thai herbs complemented the brisket nicely, but honestly, the meat was so flavorful on its own that it didn't need much else. Crispy Potatoes ($7.95): Unfortunately, the potatoes were hard, so we didn't enjoy them too much. They were seasoned with miso mustard, habanero aioli, and toasted white sesame, but the flavors were subtle and didn't stand out. Sesame Rice Noodles ($7.95): These gluten-free noodles were tossed in a chili vinaigrette with black sesame, green onion, and cilantro. While they were decent, they didn't pair well with the brisket or wings. I'd only recommend ordering them as part of an entrée rather than as a standalone side. Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.95): The description says it has salted toffee and almonds but I didn't taste any almond. Nevertheless, the cookie was good, sweet, and a good size. House Made Lemonade ($4): The lemonade was too sour for my taste, yet tasted surprisingly good mixed with beer.

Kailie Mallett

We're visiting from out of state and were looking for a quick bite. We came in today around 1 and I believe it was Jared (maybe Jason?) that helped us out. He was super friendly and welcoming. He had a great attitude and was fun to talk with. Our food was super fast and yummy! Also, gluten free friendly which is great!

Em M

Great staff, good gluten-free selection of food, and the staff will help with recommendations if you can't decide. Their drinks are delicious too, if you're old enough for the bar menu. Always fun to go and eat there.

Samantha Farber

We went for happy hour and they’ve got a great selection. I’m gluten-free and they were well-versed on what precautions to take and able to answer any questions I had about modifications.

j Nunley

Gluten free burgers, fries and tots. Austin staple.

Ashley Bee

It was so good! I’m not always a fan of deep dish but this was fantastic. I had a gluten free build your own with dairy free cheese, fig jam, arugula and mushrooms; I highly recommend that fig jam 🤤 Bf and I went a week ago and are going again tonight because we liked it so much!

Vishy raman

Good food, great service. Vegetarian, Vegan friendly and Gluten free options available. Plenty of out door seating. Nice ambience

Meg Eck

Scratch pasta (even gluten free available!), wood fired pizzas and a chocolatear owner. Eating here was a truly wonderful experience. You can get dressed up or keep it casual. The food was outstanding, and you may need to order 2 entrees just because they're so good and you'll want to try more, but the portions were perfect. Appetizers were great and a rotating truffle menu for dessert was scrumptious. Will definitely revisit for the next birthday.
