While vacationing nearby, we decided to stop here for a sweet treat after a day of hiking. We spotted it on Google maps and thought we'd take a chance on it. So glad we did. My wife and I each ordered from the sweet crepe menu. She was even able to have hers made gluten free to accommodate her celiacs. If we are ever in the area again we will be back. Thanks for the tasty treats.

Love they do a lettuce wrapped burger, that allows you to eat like a real burger. Also when asking for the lettuce wrap they always ask if this is for an allergy which is nice. I don't have to clarify the gluten sensitivity. Fries are always A+ too.

I have been here a couple of times and my visits have been consistently pleasant. There's plenty of parking in back and you can enter from either the front or back of the building. The seating is limited so plan ahead at peak times. There's a couple of seats in the window that provide plentiful natural light during the day and everything is low lighting by sundown. The menu clearly labeled gluten-free options. They were plentiful and as someone with a gluten-free restriction, I went with Kristen's Stir Fry and it did not disappoint! I especially recommend the Yellowfin Ahi Tuna as a starter. Someone in my party ordered the Smoked Pork Belly & Grits which was equally delicious and I may order next time. Our server was good and kept our glasses full. We opted to get dessert at an ice cream place not far since dessere options were scarce in the gluten-free department. Bathrooms are at the back and if you enter from the back, you will see them in the hallway as you enter the restaurant. They were clean and in good working order. Overall, I definitely recommend. :)

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! I have a gluten sensitivity & the woman who owned the place went above & beyond making sure I didn't get anything with gluten in it. Her recommendations were the vegetable pakora, papad, chicken curry and they were all delicious!!! I am just passing through for the day but would be going back regularly if I lived locally! Please give this place a try, it's truly a gem!

If you're looking for some good food you have got to try this place! Upon entering it's very welcoming and the staff is super friendly! My mother is vegan so she has dietary restrictions. She is VERY picky. The staff went above and beyond for her and helped navigate her to the vegan options. She ended up getting an order of waffle fries with a salad loaded with veggies. I tried a waffle fry. They were super crispy and had excellent flavor. That is always my complaint with pizza places, the lack of flavor but this place DELIVERED. I got a 10' thin crust create your own pizza I got pepperoni, jalapeno, and black olives with Alfredo sauce and a side of honey. I also ordered an order of their cheesy cheesy bread. When it came out I knew it was gonna be good because of all the seasoning. It was absolutely deliciously cheesy and seasoned to perfection. The pizza crust was crisp and thin and the pizza itself bursted with flavor. I also ordered one of their stubborn sodas in black cherry and it was so good! I'm not a soda person but it was refreshing and very tasty! I have ZERO complaints. The manager even brought over a side of hot honey for me and checked on their cauliflower crust which IS vegan! So that is a major win for my mom who has already deemed this place her favorite! We will DEFINITELY be back. They have a ton of options pizzas, salads, sandwiches, wings and desserts! Thank you for an absolutely flawless experience! Ps tried the puffs today... absolutely PHENOMENAL! One of the best things I've ever eaten! So crispy and filled with pepperoni and cheese and just seasoned to heaven.... So good! Also tried the vegan pizza with the vegan gluten free cauliflower crust... Very good

The service is good! The place is clean. The salsa was bland, I requested hot salsa and I believe the server took a bowl of salsa and added chili sauce to it. I ordered Taquiitos, they were fresh but must have been fried with my husband's flour salad shell because I had celiac tummy issues following this meal. Also, said taco salad was not the dinner portion, it was half the size of the plate like a lunch portion. I don't think we will be returning.

We love it. I especially love when there's a lot of bamboo in the Spicy Basil Beef. It'd be cool if they used compostable containers because even when you eat in you're served in take away boxes. This place is in our frequent rotation. Also, for me, I'm gluten intolerant and there's several dishes I've been able to get several times and never had digestive upset.

Very surprised by their impossible whopper (would a gluten-free bun be even more impossible?) As a vegan, it was a treat to be able to eat a burger with the fam.

our meals were great, i love that one of my girls with celiac disease can actually enjoy a gluten free meal somewhere other than home. though, i will say that the cashier was a little rude but maybe she was just having a long or hard day! i’ve been a server for a while, and i completely understand feeling burnt out! she was very nice while serving us, though. one of the workers was had been walking around with music playing out of her phone, which was strange but not a big deal. better than the dead silent dining room. i got up to wash my hands before we left and heard yelling right before i opened the bathroom door, it was two workers arguing. i stood in the doorway for a few minutes listening, went and washed my hands, walked out, and they were still arguing. at this point someone was waiting at the counter to be taken care of. come on guys, take it outside, or atleast go father to the back of the kitchen. i had my 3 young girls with me, there’s no need to be fighting in front of them/loud enough the dining room can hear. it was stressing them out. we are definitely going to come back, we just hope for a better environment next time.

Absolutely Fantastic!! New place in town, very modern and urban. A nice change for us Cookevillians! The dining room is open, spacious and modern. Not your typical cozy feel but different. Great selection of food, most are unique and enticing in their own ways. I do wish they offered some local beers though, Jughead or Red Silo would be nice. They do have several from Nashville. Thursday's they have burgers for $7, "Burgsday!" They call it. We went with the burgers for our first time. We also got the Pimento Pulled Pork Flatbread! So good!! Burgers were cooked absolutely perfect, best I've had in a long time. One was medium and the other medium well. Both were exact yet still juicy! Served on a soft brioche bun. Perfection. They do offer a plant based burger as well as gluten free buns if that appeals to you. Service was great, our server could tell we wanted to just talk so he filled out drinks and left us alone. This is definitely a new favorite for us and you must try it soon!!

Great service. Food is great, usually. They do not speak "glutenese" yet but I'm working on it. I would give 5 stars but there is some inconsistency in quality and quantity with the breakfast menu, especially on the omelette/breakfast side of the menu. All the Greek items are decent. By far the best place in town for a diner lunch and usually breakfast!
