I recently had the pleasure of ordering from the DT San Mateo location via DoorDash, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I'm always a bit cautious when it comes to ordering sandwiches, but the Spiffy Tiffy exceeded all expectations. I specifically requested my sandwich to be extra toasted to ensure the texture of the gluten-free bread was just right, and Zeferino, the staff member responsible for my order, truly delivered. Not only was the bread perfectly toasted, but the amount of ingredients packed inside was generous and satisfying. What truly set this experience apart was Zeferino's attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. Upon calling to express my gratitude, Zeferino was incredibly humble and gracious, further exemplifying the outstanding service provided by this establishment. For those within the gluten-free community, you'll understand the excitement of finding a sandwich that not only meets your dietary needs but exceeds your taste expectations. I highly recommend the Spiffy Tiffy sandwich from this location to anyone seeking a delicious and gluten-free dining experience. Thank you, Zeferino, and the team at this location, for making this order a memorable one.

Not only is the food very good (the seasonal turkey sandwich was delicious), but the service here is amazing. The person who helped me at the register had incredible service, and the service on the phone was amazing as well. Will definitely be back. Also, really great that they differentiated between a gluten-free preference vs allergy; great gluten-free options.

Love going to this restaurant! They have good options for gluten sensitive diners. I usually get the veggie roll and guac and chips. Our branch/office orders delivery for our client lunch meetings on a regular basis. The packaging presentation meets expectations and so far our orders have been accurate. When my friend and I went to dinner this past Sunday, we were pleasantly greeted by the host and served attentatively by our server. Our food came out promptly and delicious. Chef Eber and his team turn out flavorful dishes on a consistent basis, whether for in-house dining or delivery service. Pacific Catch continues to be my go-to restaurant when I want to have a great dining experience for myself, friends/family, and or clients.

Their gluten free pasta was the best I’ve ever had!🤤 The texture is very similar to regular pasta, al dente. I have been craving it daily since I dined there.

I like this place. I was able to get a simple burger that fit my dietary requirements but tasted really good. They do country homemade style gluten free buns and they ask you how you like your burger cooked - I went medium rare which was perfect. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which were not overly salty like they often are elsewhere. The decor is like a clean version of the stereotypical American diner and the staff were very pleasant. The prices were reasonable for San Mateo. I'll be back soon.

My family and I visited Pinstripes on a busy Saturday and asked the host if they could accommodate our party of eight. The restaurant was busy hosting private parties and events, so we weren’t sure if they had room. Fortunately, the General Manager, Pablo, was there and went out of his way to set up a table for us upstairs. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the food was absolutely delicious. I have a severe gluten intolerance, and I truly appreciated how attentive and accommodating both the chef and staff were in ensuring my meal was safe. We were celebrating a birthday, and Pablo made the experience even more special by surprising our group with festive St. Patrick’s Day/Birthday drinks. It was our first time at Pinstripes, but thanks to the outstanding service and hospitality, it certainly won’t be our last. Thank you, Pablo, for making our visit so memorable!

I've been here a few times now and it always feels like a fiesta. We walked in just when the lights dimmed, then came back on to party lights with music playing "feliz cumpleanos" to a family in the dining room. So fun! My partner and I grabbed a seat at the bar. A few minutes later, a tequila tasting was being set up. We were quickly served by our bartender. We ordered the sizzling fajitas which the two of us shared. The steak and chicken were super tender and the seasoning gave it that perfect grilled flavoring. For gluten-free, they served me soft corn tortillas and my partner the flour ones. My tortillas were a good size nor did it taste chalky. Margaritas are always so big, and as a lightweight drinker one was enough. The guys at the tequila tasting served us some free shots, my favorite is shown. What a great place for happy hour!

I wish I would've taken pictures of my food like I normally do but I was so hungry I completely forgot! Anyways, the food was BOMB. I got the Hella Vegan Burrito and Hella Vegan Sexy Fries. I appreciate how they even had a gluten free tortilla option! That's what really sold me! Both items I ate were so flavorful and it was a good amount of food for the price! I wasn't able to finish my burrito so I took the rest to-go and it was still good the next day!! Inside the restaurant it's not really giving "the food here is delicious" vibes so don't let that fool you. Try it for yourself!

Vegan and gluten free options 😍

They do NOT serve baked potatoes. However, they do have loaded *MASHED* potatoes and a superb toasty gluten-free burger bun—which made up for it!

I love Thai food, and I'm really happy they had stir fry noodles. Me and my party arrived pretty close to closing time, and they still served us well and made good food. The quality was pretty much the same as most other Thai places I've been to; great. I'm glad they clearly label their vegetarian, spicy, and gluten free foods. The restaurant is well decorated with a welcoming atmosphere. Really, there is not much left to say, I had a fine meal. I hope to come again soon. 4/5.

Food, service, vibe, everything perfect. The owners personally accommodated a gluten intolerance at our table. Our waiter was also hilarious. They are METICULOUS with bringing classic Italy!!

Curry was amazing. I was a little taken back ar first thinking the bowl the curry was small but it was actually more than I could eat. There was shredded ginger in it which wad perfect. Everything about it was so good. Unfortunately it seems to have flour in the curry to thicken so if you have to be gluten-free be cautious. I forgot to tell them so my fault. Not sure if they can do it differently but the menu does have a note about dietary restrictions, so would appear they can accommodate.
