It is so cute (not at all a dive) inside! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and have many options. The fried chicken was delicious and I really liked the fries. They also have fun cocktails, and my friends enjoyed their meals as well.

I’ve been going to Lugano’s for almost 7 years, it truly never disappoints! The food is incredibly delicious, the staff is very friendly, and we leave happy every time. Their kids menu is $10 for any of the items, they have gluten free options!

Rob Tart

Very nice pizza place. My wife loves the gluten-free.

Tim Starnes

First time here and we loved it. We came for breakfast ..the food was delicious, very friendly staff and fresh squeezed orange juice that was amazing. For the gluten sensitive like me, the GF waffle was actually better than about any other regular waffle I've ever had! We have a new favorite place while we're in town visiting! 🤘

Susan Pizzuti

The owners are friendly and the food is amazing - everything is fresh and so flavorful! The food truck is fully gluten free so it is safe for celiacs. Had a great time, can't wait to eat Merkato again!

Richard LaBrosse

We've never had a bad meal here. Whether reservation or bar walk in the service is great. And the food is superb. Gluten free options on practically everything... except on bread for the amazing mussel wine sauce.

I’ve been a regular at Kababish for years, and just getting around to posting a review. Their food is delicious - fresh and full of flavor… consistently. The staff, many of whom are family, are friendly and attentive. I have celiac, so I cannot eat gluten. They are aware of gluten free needs; most items are naturally gluten-free, and they can easily modify many dishes to accommodate many dietary requirements. This gem tucked in downtown Cary is my favorite in Cary - because of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. It’s my go-to for my birthday, and Mother’s Day as well! My favorite dishes are butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, kabobs, and lahora bhindi (okra). And of course the mango lassi!

I had been wanting to try SAAP since they opened. Yesterday, I selected SAAP for my birthday dinner, and it was a delight. Our service from waitress Noel(le?), was excellent - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I started with Sunmer Rolls with shrimp and they were serves super chilled and so fresh and crisp. For my meal, I selected the green curry with seafood. It was excellent. Packed with very fresh and crisp vegetables and tasty seafood. The side of chili oil to adjust the spice level was perfect. I tried 2 cocktails from their list and both were tasty and well-balanced. The location right next to Cary Downtown Park is great for a pretty or post dinner stroll. Lots of gluten-free options marked on the menu. Dining room is relatively small, so I suggest reservations. However, you may also eat at the bar with first come availability. Check out this new gem in Cary!

Alisa Oswalt

Fresh, fast, and reasonable prices. They actually chop up your salad (hence the name "Diced") - if you want. Love the gluten free and vegan options!

Austin T

The staff were super nice and are very accommodating with those who suffer from gluten allergies.

Dionne Adams

I had food to go and was very good! Thanks to Ty and Brooke for the delicious lunch! I especially love that they have gluten free bread!

Madeline Deviney

We ate here for lunch on Sunday and it was delicious. They have awesome gluten free options. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was hot and yummy. The tables were social distanced and everyone we saw was wearing masks. We'll definitely eat here again.

Sarah Asby

For my Gluten Free friends! I have a sensitivity, not an allergy, but have never had an issue. Certain bowls are gf with rice noodle sub. All are delicious! Adding a marked menu, though if ordering in person they are very helpful with regard to allergies.

Mike Montpetit

They even accommodated our gluten-free request for 10 arepas

Ingrid Ruiz

Great service and a large open patio. Food is wonderful with gluten free choices

Ismail Ibrahim

Amazing food with halal and gluten free options! Service was exceptional and everyone was very nice and friend

Neko was super sweet. Food was great. Gluten free pizza was delicious

Sheila K

What a special place. It was our first time here and our server Andy made us so welcome. The atmosphere was so festive and the food was delish. I was thrilled that a fine Italian restaurant offers a wide variety of gluten-free dishes. Looking forward to my next visit!

Sam D

Ordered 3 gluten free unlimited topping pizza, kids and me waited 45 mins for delivery and got 3 burnt, dry, no topping cheese pizzas. Never buying a pizza from this or any mod pizza again.

April Mitchem

Always delicious! Excellent gluten free choices. Get the sangria if they have it!

stefanie kiszely

The service was as amazing as their food. It felt like having a delicious home cooked meal made by good friends. The teas were amazing 🤩…. The injera brings me back every time. I love that it’s fermented, gluten free and has protein so you can enjoy the vegetarian meal and still feel extremely satisfied

David Heder

The food here is amazing! From the endless selection of pizzas (even gluten free) to the wings to the salads to the parm subs and even the garlic knots! You have to save room to try the cannolies or tiramisu that are out of this world! Next time I am going to try the lasagna that I saw someone else order. I even got to meet one of creators of this Italian heaven. Ricky was great to chat with. We even talked about catering some of my team meetings in the future.

Mandy Dunn

Disappointed to find out their menu has changed and many of our favorites are no longer available. There are no longer a variety of gluten free options besides a salad. I used to get their zucchini noodles which are no longer offered. They also used to have an amazing bbq chicken salad which is also not offered. I was not impressed with the salad I had. The service was good and the restaurant is nice and clean. No issues with the staff at all. Unfortunately, due to the menu change it is no longer a family favorite.

My friend picked out this Chuy's location for lunch one busy Sunday afternoon, and I had not fallen in love with the Raleigh location but was willing to try this one. So glad we did! We were greeted & seated immediately, and when one friend wanted a booth instead of a table the hostess checked and then made it possible. Our drinks came out quickly and another friend had never eaten here and asked about a gluten free menu which I hadn't even done and our waiter produced one! So of course I had to look at it after she was done, and now I know I can order the enchiladas because they are made with a corn shell which I did not know. We all enjoyed our meal, our waiter was very helpful and when asked questions he was happy to serve. We had a very nice time and I'd come back here for sure, especially since so many places are closed in the area on Sunday afternoon!

Morgan Cook

My friends and I went to First Watch Friday morning, and we had a great experience! The waitress was patient as we took time to decide what we wanted. I loved that First Watch had gluten free bread available so I could enjoy the French Toast. It was delicious, and I hope to see more GF substitutions available in the future. If you need a refreshing and immune boosting juice, the morning meditation juice will hit the spot (must like ginger to enjoy!) Another great experience and meal!

Misty Try

Ambience and atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. Food was fresh and delicious. Amazing service. Gluten free pasta too! Authentic and so yummy.

Marsh Mellowman

Burgers are alright, a bit dry. Gluten free buns are good and the service is exceptional.

Allison

This was the highest quality restaurant experience I have ever had. All the staff were incredible in making sure we had everything we needed. They answered all my questions about their gluten free dishes. The food was amazing. The caprese salad appetizer and fresh strawberry mouse dessert were sublime! I even bought some of the house made balsamic vinegar that they used on the caprese. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Judith Quinn

Awful. Wedge salad swimming in dressing (Soup). Friend ordered gluten free, covered with croutons.

Rebekah Wilson

The food is delicious - great flavors, good quality and we’ve liked everything we’ve ordered! Tons of gluten free options. Our server, Raj, was fantastic -- friendly, great recommendations & attentive! He made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Dan Sheehan

We had brunch. Very tasty. That were very accommodating of my wife's gluten allergy. It was a nice meal.

Adam Myerchin

I deeply regret going to Jet’s Pizza on Ten Ten Road. My life is now divided into two eras: Before Jet’s and After Enlightenment via Crust. Thanks to that first square of deep dish perfection, I can’t enjoy anything else. Not homemade food, not five-star restaurants, heck, I barely trust water anymore unless it was poured at Jet’s. The dough? Suspiciously perfect. I’m convinced they’ve got a retired Italian nonna chained to the mixer whispering ancient gluten secrets. The cheese? It's so stretchy I nearly used it as dental floss. And the sauce? I swear it made eye contact with my soul. I felt judged… and then forgiven. And let’s talk about the Turbo Crust. No warning on the box, no waiver to sign—just life-altering flavor bombarding my taste buds like a parade with extra garlic. So yes, I regret it. I regret not trying it sooner. I regret that I now spend most nights staring out the window wondering if Jet’s misses me, too. I’m not saying this pizza changed my personality… but my dog says I’ve been acting different.

Kimberly B. Taylor

Great Gluten free fries!

Vanya Wright

Good Indian food with plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Alert: their rice-based breads are NOT gluten free. They will tell you if you ask. My bad for making assumptions.

Bob Albing

Great food, and it came quickly. We were a group of 6, 2 gluten-free. Desert took a while but the staff did not rush us. The manager even stopped by the table once,

Kelsey Yokovich

My fiancé and I love coming to Rally Point, especially for Canes games! They are very attentive to my food sensitivities (gluten and dairy), have a wide array of TVs with various sports on, delicious drinks, and the service is wonderful!

Stephanie Strong

The Vegan Gluten Free Sourdough Sandwich is amazing!!!! The Burger with over easy egg and bacon jam is to die for!! Also we are obsessed with crab cakes and it was just for lunch, can't wait to try their dinner!

Abigail Leishman

Lynne Chamber

David Katz

Great menu options, limited vegan options. Few gluten free choices. Reasonable$

Ginny Dudek

Very attentive to my gluten free needs.

Lester Dean

Patsy Stadler

Suzy Weinman

Everything from the service to the food is top notch. Being gluten free usually puts a damper on fine dining but not at Herons. We go every 3 months for new menu changes. It is so worth it!

Elizabeth J

Delicious! I had lamb kabobs, fried finger potatoes and kimchi rice. Wow wow these items were satisfying & Gluten free too💪🏿 The lamb chunks were tender, flavorful and generous portions for the price on all 3 servings! I’ll be back. Definitely worth a visit. I enjoyed the Ubek decor…fun and colorful 😎

This bar is incredible. Can’t believe it’s such a hidden gem! The food is amazing - their spicy tofu poutine is seriously one of the best vegan means I’ve had. The spicy chicken poutine is extremely tasty as well. I’ve hosted an event here for over a year as well, and the space is great for that. Chill vibe, and the staff is super open to working with you. Also the gluten free pizza is awesome! My stepdad normally isn’t a fan of gluten free stuff but he’ll devour this pizza lmao. All in all I love this little restaurant. The owners are super sweet as well and it’s dog friendly. Can’t recommend it enough.

Larry Rosen

Can't believe it took almost 3 years to discover this place. Only ask is for gluten free crust option.
