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.

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.

Kimberly Hughes

An Austin must-dine restaurant, especially if you're into healthy eating. The food ingredients come from local Austin farms, and the menu changes seasonally. Plan to share bites and experience odd and tasty flavor combinations. Even cooler is that they are included in the goodfoodfighter.com top 15 Austin restaurants and have a gluten-free menu. Our experience, starting with the valet, hosts, and server(s) was outstanding! See ya'll again soon.

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.

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!

GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS Food was delicious ! Service was excellent and our server was knowledgeable about gluten free options. Sadly the only option for dessert was the Frozen Yoghurt was gluten free. I didn’t end up getting it because i was too cold to eat something cold since we sat in the patio area.

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.

Cathleen

They know their way around a green bean!! Tons of gluten free options, super delicious. My faves are the green beans and sticky rice

What an amazing experience to eat at the Original Kerbey Lane. We walked in and where immediately greeted and seated. James was our server whom educated that this is the original Kerbey Lane that opened in 1980! Love his hospitality! The inside is so clean and has the most amazing art décor hanging all over the walls. The menu and food is what you would expect for Vegan Gluten Free options. I ordered: Vegan Breakfast Platter (VG) Two Dr. Praeger’s veggie patties & tofu scramble topped with green onions & fresh diced tomatoes. Served with two half size vegan vanilla swirl pancakes. Cost $12.99 I started with the Tofu scramble and veggie patties they both were full of flavors. My pallet was extremely happy with the texture to the tofu scramble. The veggie patties to me where a bit too soft and could have been cooked a bit longer so the inside was not mushy. The two Vegan Gluten Free Vanilla Swirl Pancakes are the BEST and I mean the BEST pancakes I have ever eaten. They were fluffy moist and full of flavor. If you were not aware these are vegan and gluten free and wow I am honestly speechless at the texture the taste the way the cinnamon vanilla swirl enhanced the pancakes in a way that they were extremely sweet. To a point I had to take them home to finish. What an amazing tasting dish!!! My friend ordered: French Toast Platter* (V) Two slices of French toast, two eggs any style & choice of all natural bacon, sausage or seasonal fresh fruit. $12.29 They advised that the French toast was cooked to perfection full fluffy and not egg tasting. They ordered over easy eggs which where cooked perfectly. The seasonal fruit however was not good. The honeydew and cantaloupe were not ripe and the strawberry's felt rubbery to a point I spat the strawberry out as soon as I took a bite of it. We both tried the fruit to ensure that they were definitely not ripe, and that the texture was off. The cleanliness is off the charts as well as the service. Overall this was an amazing experience and the food overall was exceptional minus the fruit!

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!

I've heard many good things about Red Ash and was excited to try them last Saturday. There are in fact many gluten free options and they were very helpful explaining the menu and accommodating. The visit did not disappoint! Comments on the dishes: the sweet potatoes were yum; cauliflower came as almost two whole heads, flavor was good but not our favorite; gnocchi which was AMAZING (my favorite); the bone marrow risotto which was also delicious but definitely heavy and rich; my friends loved the halibut too; burrata with tomato was good as a starter and my friends enjoyed their bruschetta. Quantities were plentiful and we left completely stuffed, with leftovers! Comments on drinks: green thumb was delicious; I wasn't impressed by the blood orange marg unfortunately; signora in rosa was good! Parked with the Valet for $15.

Brennan Keller

Love this spot. Great atmosphere and fantastic food. They even have an amazing gluten free dessert that isn’t just ice cream/sorbet. Highly recommend!

Scott Conner

Jack Allen's is legit one of the best places in Austin. We've been a fan for years, and they've even catered our wedding back in 2011 when they used to do that. Jack's menu has stood the test of time. Their specials are fantastic, and when they found out the margaritas has gluten in them (my wife is allergic) they even changed their recipe for it. Hands down great value. You can seat 2 adults, two kids, appetizers, drinks, and dessert for far more reasonable prices than "trendy" places who either charge more or dont have nearly as good food. If you don't like Jack's, your standards are wrong and I suggest you just move back to LA where at least you can feel important about it.

Elizabeth Hamilton

Best gf pizza in town

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.

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.

Brian Smith

I was just excited to know everything was gluten free. Get the wagyu barbacoa tacos, you won’t regret it!

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.

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!!

Victorious Thompson

I celebrated my birthday here, and hands down, this was the best dining experience I’ve had in Austin in the last three years. The ambiance, customer service, and music were all top-tier. I ordered the chef’s special—a five-course meal that turned into six, thanks to our incredible server, Kendra. She was thoughtful, kind, and knew the menu inside and out. Every recommendation she made was spot on. Plus, my lady is gluten- and dairy-free, and anytime a restaurant can accommodate her needs without skipping a beat, it’s a huge win. 5-star everything—can’t wait to come back!

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.

Jesse TX

Thank you Nick. The food is amazing and I could repeat what other reviewers have said, but more importantly for me, they were extremely conscientious of celiac and cross contamination. The gluten free options are better than just about any chicken you get anywhere. This is our favorite chicken spot for celiac!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Shane Anciso

here's what you need to know before coming to this location there's a bunch of places here so it's shared parking so parking is 80% in the battle especially with dragon Slayer in the corner depending on when they're having events could pick up the whole parking lot and let alone the fact that you have next door a Vietnamese Indian and multiple other little fruity places Decatur they're different people's and territories and precision just down the walking distance The other hand this place is totally one of the best franchises I went first to run my location and I was even more impressed with this location they keep the place spotless and clean with plenty of tables plenty of paper towels at every table Nice cushion seats TVs everywhere playing sports and super fast Wi-Fi The customer support was absolutely phenomenal with a variety of people to make sure that accommodate the eb and flow of different people coming in and out putting in to go orders and pick up orders and eating in also plenty of options for handicap and then the restrooms as well commands and women's with spotless or plenty of options and stalls I got a freebie on the app to get a free shake how can they make a shake this darn good Nutella pretzel chocolate shake may very well be one of the best shakes I've ever had in my entire life I highly recommend it it's the ultimate dirty dessert to mess up your diet or just give you the calories and carbs to burn off tomorrow for your workout :) highly recommend this place as well for the variety of burger options that will fill you up along with Fry's options and of course brussel sprouts and let me again mention this something that a lot of people don't notice franchise is great for is their variety of Brussels sprouts which I highly recommend the Parmesan truffle brussel sprouts next time you're here to share with friends and family also plenty of beer and alcohol and options while watching your favorite sports game and also taking advantage of if you're on your healthier side your ginger homemade lemonade :) on the burger side of a huge fan of the Diablo if you're into hot and spicy and can even do gluten free and they're gluten-free bun hit the spot too

Isabela Guillen

LOVED everything about Elizabeth st cafe!!!All the servers were very friendly, and kept checking in on us. The decor and atmosphere was immaculate especially with all the outdoor seating for a sunny day. And of course the food was all delicious. A good menu with a lot to choose from including banh mi and pho, but we went for summer rolls, fried rice rolls and grilled fish bun vermicelli bowl. They were all delicious! 10/10! A good majority of the menu was also gluten-free friendly.

Tiffany Woods

Great and safe gluten free burger

Tejasbir Singh

Great place, friendly staff and almost all crepes have a gluten free batter option…which is surprisingly good! I found it beautiful that the whole staff was speech impaired who were extremely sweet and attentive. 100% will come back here and support them!

Caleb Borgstrom

Great place to eat especially if you need gluten free. They are very knowledgeable and only a couple things on the menu have gluten.

Lady S

They have an entire vegan menu and gluten-free menu! I had the Enchiladas de Verduras (veggie filling) and it was delish. If you’re plant-based, vegan, nutrition-forward or whole food plant based, Gueros is a great option. Perfect location in an active part of town, great service, delicious food.

Brian Griffin

I wanted to try something different and the entire menu is made gluten-free And dairy free. It is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for and I’ll definitely come back

Paige Sanders

Shayne was great! So attentive, gave great options and always smiled. He’s a genuinely nice person. The cocktails and food were great and there’s gluten free options. Will return.

Jennifer King

Great atmosphere and food. Has gluten-free options, too! Just a little loud.

Em L

Went here for brunch and it was great! Pretty patio, and a mimosa flight is only $6! They have so many gluten free and vegan options, so there is something for everyone. Cute place

larry linenschmidt

Superb, healthy food. Mostly gluten free options.

Meagan Brewster

Lyric was AMAZING! I’m a BJ’s regular and I’ve never had such good service. He was very helpful, attentive, and kind. He said he hadn’t been serving very long and I couldn’t believe it! The margarita flight was good, as was the burger and gluten free pizzookie.

Jeremy Carrle

Amazing flavors and good accommodation of gluten free needs

D T

I'm gluten free and the fact that the have gluten free dumplings?!?!!! Game over. The dumplings are so light and delicate and delicious. I've gotten I think all of the gluten free ones at different times? And they are all amazing. Big fan of their spicy chili oil and their bacon fried rice too! If you're feeling spicy, get the Le Hot - their spicy cocktail. Not too spicy and perfectly balanced!

D T

Always love coming to this movie theater - it's my favorite in Austin! The customer service is always great, the location is great, and the ambiance is nice. I love that there's a little cocktail bar next door and that there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Not that you'll be hungry! Alamo's gluten free pizza is awesome, their popcorn is freaking addictive, and their shakes!! I love their shakes, boozy or not.

Jenne Acevedo

We had a wonderful experience at Plank Provisions. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The dishes have interesting flavors and are plated beautifully. Lots of gluten free options, even dessert! The only thing I would change is the temperature of the chocolate peanut butter dessert. It was frozen solid when we got it, which made it difficult to eat. The flavor would be so much more enjoyable if it wasn't so hard. But we loved our dinner and will return whenever we're in town.

MOD Pizza is far superior to most other pizzerias for a couple of reasons: 1.) Options. You can customize your pizza with exactly the type and amount of toppings you want. They even offer a cauliflower crust if you need a gluten-free option, and they have a vegan cheese you can sub out for their regular mozz if you're lactose-intolerant like me. Their vegan cheese tastes better than their regular mozz, IMO. 2.) Service. They are pretty fast compared to other pizzerias, and their staff is very friendly. If you happen to come by on a day that Brittany is working, be sure to say hi to her. She's their lead at this store and an all-around great human. (MOD: you need to promote her to be a manager already!) For roughly $12 per 10" fully customizable pizza, this place is a great deal bar none!

Cat Russell

Chez Zee is a reliable place for absolutely delicious food, impeccable service, and pleasant French Bistro style atmosphere. The kind of place to bring out of town guests or a date. We shared a Belair salad, a delightful combination of baby greens, blueberries and jicama for a little crunch, and also shared an order of pan-fried trout with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. We ended with the ultimate comfort food… a slice of Maida’s cake, delicate layers of gluten-free chocolate cake with generous whipped cream filling and light mocha frosting. The generous portions are enough for two meals and the quality is basically perfect. Our server was attentive and cheerfully split our plates, even though we arrived within an hour of closing time and sat outside by the fountain on the breezy patio.
