My friend, who is severely celiac, got very sick here. They say all the food is gluten free, but that’s obviously not true. We looked up everything about this restaurant after she got sick and saw the review of some other person on this site who also got sick. They sell a lot of oats, so that’s probably why she got sick. Cross contamination. Watch out!!! For the not celiac’s, the food is good it just isn’t totally gluten free.

Can't say enough good things about this place, and it has been a while since I have dined-in at a restaurant and enjoyed it (probably since before the pandemic). Okay, so I am just going to go for it in this review with the intent that the owners see this and know that I recognize all the effort they put into this place to making it amazing. First of all, great staff. I went in with my small (pug) service dog my first time there, and a customer was very upset that I would be dining-in with her. He went on a tirade and stormed off after a staff member let him know that it's legally allowed (seemed like he didn't know about service dog rules and in all fairness, she didn't have her vest on at the time - though I did have it with me). In any case, once I settled in, the same staff member approached me and thanked me for staying in spite of that guy, which I found very cool. The food was excellent and comes out quick!! It's tough to find good vegan food in general AND I'm also gluten free; I was so pleased to see many options for GF as well. This next part is specifically meant for the owners/concept designers of this establishment - I really enjoyed the ample spacious, cozy seating for solo dining (I'm a frequent solo diner) and the streamlined approach to dining. I don't think they offer a traditional sit-down dining experience (I may be wrong though). I like how this place blends self-service with the sit-down atmosphere, it is the first time I have experienced this and I hope more restaurants follow suit. I think the whole having a server take your order, establish a phony rapport in hopes of big tips, then get stressed if a mistake is made, and guest waiting around for the check if it's slammed at a restaurant (traditional sit-down dining experience) needs to die. I was a server for roughly a decade and in all honesty, I think it's awkward for everyone involved and not that fun. The pandemic may have identified this pain point in the restaurant experience across the board and The Rad Radish took notice, well done!! If you are a diner that loves that song-and-dance, you may want to just do take-out from this place, or be brave and try a new (and in my opinion, better) way to dine. Oh, and the prices are VERY reasonable, gotta love that in these trying times!!! Thanks Rad Radish, for being... RAD!!! Will definitely return, keep on kicking ass!!

There was a line outside the restaurant, but we didn't have to wait long to order and the food came out quickly. The store's name is Birds, but is there a dog with a sandwich in its mouth painted on the signboard or on the wall? wolf? The illustrations are cute! This is a system where you order and pay at the cash register, then pick up your order at the delivery counter. I ordered a salad, which you can also add fried chicken as a topping. You will be given a cup to drink your drink, so you can pour it yourself. All food was served in paper bags for take-out. You no longer have to deal with customers who switch to take-out, such as when they run out of time, and it's also easier to clean up trash inside the store. The ultimate fried chicken and sandwich shop: Click here for spicy fried chicken in San Francisco! We had lunch at Bird, a recommended restaurant. Bird Salad ($6.5) Romaine lettuce center, baby kale mix, steamed beets, spelled flour, celery, apple Dressing (separate): Champagne vinegar & honey, ranch, or blue cheese The dressing was blue cheese. There was only one type of salad, but the ingredients seemed to be health conscious and gluten-free conscious.

The toasts are EXCELLENT. I have tried all of them. Egg in the hole is my favourite savoury one. Ricotta and Jam is my favourite sweet one. The gluten free bread (adventure bread) is the best GF bread I’ve had. The building is lovely. Atmosphere gets a 3 because, they don’t make people leave fast enough after eating at the weekend. I’ve been standing there multiple times with my food in my hands and nowhere to sit. It is a very awkward experience They either need to add more seating or move people along that have finished eating. The Mill would be a clear 5/5 if they fixed this problem.

Hazel's Kitchen has some of the best sandwiches around.🥰 We have been coming here for years (late 90's), never disappointed!! Will cross a bridge when craving a good deli sandwich. I don't stray too far from a personal favorite, "build your own," sliced dark rye, turkey, regular mayo, yellow mustard, lettuce, tomato, avocado and pickle. Huge sandwich, saved the other half for later🥪💫. Prices are incredibly reasonable, staff is super friendly, always nice and fast!!! Best Portrero Hill location for walking around and hanging out. Tons of menu options, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc, etc, etc. Seating table area outside is close by and shaded. Will continue to cross a bridge or two for a great deli sandwich, bagel sandwich, wrap sandwich, all the sandwiches!🥪🥯🌯✊🏼

Dinosaur sandwiches is a small building between the lakeside landing park and the Pilates studio. The spring rolls are gluten free and very good! Very easy to customize. My husband who is not gluten free loved the crispy tofu bahn mi sandwich. I also got the watermelon litchi smoothie and it was delicious!

I don't really like leaving bad reviews...especially for something like this. I ordered through their website for office catering (20 sandwiches). In their office catering menu, there is a space for special instructions. Some folks have food allergies, so I asked for the sandwiches to be marked with names to distinguish them from the rest. I was also given the option to pick chips. I called the Polk street location to ensure my order was received and to confirm instructions. The line is dead and does not work. I reached out via website contact (twice) and have not heard a response back, either. One was to confirm the order, the other to state that my order was wrong/request a follow-up. When I received my order...it was wrong. Nothing was labeled. The folks with food allergies were unable to eat their food because of questionable contents. No one received the chips they ordered. We only received Voodoo and Salt & Vinegar. Missing Jalapeno, Maui Onion, Sea Salt, and Voodoo Heat. The gluten-free sandwiches were not even labeled. On top of that, we were missing a sandwich. The sandwiches themselves were not really that great and bland. I have eaten an Ike's sandwich from their San Mateo location, and it was good. It just sucks that the quality and customer services of the franchise have really gone down. I don't know if I would order catering from Ike's again since there has been no follow-up from the company about my order. EDIT: They asked me to contact them through their website...but I already did? I don't know where the original 2 messages I sent through that contact us space went. Ike's sandwiches on Polk, can you please respond to the original message(s) I sent through the "Contact Us" space on the website? It was a quite lengthy message that included all the details of my order. I am more than happy to work with you to resolve this. Thank you. EDIT: Hi! So I reached out to them in their contact us part and...no reply back. So, customer service for this space (in regards to their virtual side) is awful. EDIT: Ok...so they finally got back to me on 5/23. Almost a month later. Turns out my email went to their spam folder. They are working on resolving this with me. I updated my review to 2 stars since they are assisting me and are actively trying. I am going to give this place a try again in the future.

I absolutely LOVE Salty's ! I'm from Texas and currently living/working in Crescent City California. This wonderful place reminded me of some of the best small family businesses back home in Texas. Salty's may be a small business, however the flavor packed food and tasty sized portions are absolutely Amazing! It's a warm inviting place with a vibrant atmosphere and amazing customer service. Being Celiac choices can sometimes be limited. However, Salty's can accommodate your needs & happily serve you a delightful & delicious meal. They will put a smile on your face & keep you coming back for more. Looking forward to my next visit. Best wishes for many years of prosperity and abundance.

I had outstanding service and the sandwich was phenomenal. They made it on gluten-free bread and while I was full, I was not stuffed and they had plenty of meat on it. Just a warning, there is not much space to eat in but an excellent sandwich to grab and take down to the beach.

We found this place looking for gluten free options. The owner was excited to talk about his homemade gluten free bread recipes and his ideas for other gluten free products. The sandwiches he made us were very good. I had the Avocado bacon sandwich and it was the best sandwich I've had in a very long time. The prices were reasonable, and the staff were very friendly. Many people just popped their heads in to say hello to the owner. The decor is nothing special, and once you try his food you realize he puts all of his energy into making great breads and sandwiches. You should really check this place out.
