Always great food. Didn't have too long of a wait which was good as this place is always busy. My wife had the gluten friendly pancakes and I had the meatlovers scramble. Both were great.
A spacious spot with a lively vibe, offering diverse options for various dietary needs and a solid burger experience.

The salmon and shrimp risotto was perfectly prepared and delicious. My partner got the Venetian Chicken Salad and it was also amazing. Presentation was beautiful and the dining room is elegant and not noisy even when busy.
Our waitress was very attentive and our meals were served quickly even though the restaurant was busy and had a large private group. Everything was wonderful.
There are many gluten free choices including pastas, pizzas, risottos, seafood, and steak options.
Enjoy a fantastic stopover with exceptional service and attentive staff who go the extra mile for a perfect experience.

This was an impromptu stop on the way home(West Virginia) from North Dakota for Christmas. My 16 year old son has a gluten allergy and we had pets (dogs) with us. The staff there was beyond amazing and were able to answer all questions and help get everything set so we could have a togo order to get back on the road. One of the best experiences we have had since finding out about my son's allergies 2 years ago! Thank you so much the hostess and manager went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect.
A prime spot near hotels with an impressive special menu offering unique options and a delightful surprise appetizer to start your meal.

The food is delicious and cooked to perfection! The staff are courtesy and friendly. We were in from Maryland and decided to try them. The gluten-free menu is the best I've ever seen! We were so pleased!
Always a good experience. They do gluten free well with a variety of options, including dessert. Our waitress tonight was Julia W, and she did a wonderful job. I've never left here disappointed.
They seem to have issues with condiments when ordering a gluten free bun. Instead of throwing a catsup/mustard/mayo packet in the bag, they don't add the condiment since they don't touch the bun.
I like their food generally though.
A cozy spot with delightful treats, a personal vibe, and a great atmosphere makes it a must-visit for friends and family gathering.

Fantastic experience at Hopscotch Bakery! How can potatoes be both indulgently crispy and delicately creamy?! My brain melted as my eyes worked to figure out how something could taste even better than it looks. Start to finish, this place is an absolute gem filled with lovely humans and even lovelier glutens. Don't sleep on the vegan chocolate chip cookie–as a connoisseur I can say this is the best one I've had in the last 20 years. Every town needs a place like Hopscotch and anytime I'm in a 60 mile radius, you better believe I will be back!

I have celiac disease. The last “gluten free “ pizza I had almost put me in the ER. The waitress at Jupiter’s reassured me that they were very careful with their gluten free prep. The pizza was really good and I had no reaction to it at all. I’ll be going back! Great place to get really gluten free pizza!

Ko Fusion is one of our go-to places in Champaign for lunch or date night. I recently changed my diet due to food sensitivities and was pleasantly surprised how Ko fusion handles them. They had a Gluten Free menu and Sam our server was very attentive in small requests we had such as having our sake at room temp. The shrimp stir fry was delicious as well as the flourless chocolate cake and I didn't have any reactions after we left! My husband and our friends had a few rolls which they said were great. It has a nice ambiance, great service and good selection.
Enjoy a place known for its meticulous attention to dietary needs and delicious dishes that always impress!

Olive Garden is a good brand and their employees work hard to maintain their reputation. Four of us had dinner to celebrate a birthday. Salads, soup, and bread were plentiful. Drinks were pretty good, if not festive. We benefitted from an incorrect order that resulted in an extra mixed drink. Our main courses were excellent. They even had a gluten free menu for my wife. Victory for me! I like my lasagna thick and cheesy and I was not disappointed. Everything looked delicious. Our server was exceptionally pleasant and continuously checked on us. I would encourage them to learn when to clear items off the table. That said, we had a very enjoyable experience. Everything was so delightful, I couldn’t take pictures before we decimated the dinner. You can’t go wrong here.

It's "fast casual" and the quality is very basic, the appeal is suppose to be that it's fast and you can customize everything to your liking. If you have realistic expectations of it, it can fill a need of you're in a rush and on campus. I've recently had to go wheat-free, so I tried their gluten free crust on my quest for a pizza I can both eat and can enjoy eating sans wheat, haven't been to this place in years - it was pretty well awful. The crust being awful wasn't a suprise, I've yet to have an enjoyable wheat-free crust, but the sauce had no flavor, the toppings were few and practically raw. I tossed it after the first slice. Ah, well. The quest continues.

Great service. Good prices, especially for what you get. Food was delicious. They mark the gluten-free items on the menu, and I think all of their sauces and meats are gluten-free, although I can't comment on possible cross-contamination. Overall, it was a good experience. The only issues I had were trying to find it, and it was just a tiny bit loud for my tastes, but certainly not as bad as many places.
Recent changes have brought this place down sadly.
I went there opening weekend and have been back almost every other week since. The food was fantastic, it’s exactly what CU has needed and is very similar to many places I’ve tried in Chicago. The bowls are big enough for 2 meals and it’s always fresh and delicious. I raved about this place to anyone looking for something different or people I know who like Mediterranean food. It had become a place I can count on for a reasonably priced meal that would also be healthy and tasty.
Recently however they’ve increased their prices and started charging extra fees. I like to get my hummus on the side so it’s not all mixed in while I eat, have always gotten this included. They are now charging a fee for anything outside of the bowl. I’ve often been able to get 2 free falafels instead of their flatbread because I can’t have gluten, again no longer an option. The food quality has sadly gone down hill as well. It’s still good, but not as consistently. Some of still tastes fresh if you can time it right but it’s become disappointing more often. This is especially concerning that it would now cost me $15 for a meal (before $10-12).
I hope that these are temporary changes and they will go back to how it was even just a few weeks ago. Or they add new options (like new sauces, sides etc.) to make the price increase worth it. This was a restaurant I was extremely excited about opening, it’s a place I loved eating at, and I’d hate to have this decline continue and stop going.
Update 12/2021: we have continued trying to give this place a chance but after continuing to go down hill we are done. Changing my review from 3 stars to 1. They have now reduced the portion size to only filling the bowls about 1/2 of what they used to be. We thought the first time was a fluke but it has happened repeatedly. Paying $15 for a bowl of food that actually will leave people still hungry is ridiculous. We won’t be back.
Update 2/2022: have tried reaching out to customer support per their request. No response yet but will try again. We did also try again and now they’ve actually gotten smaller bowls so that the fact that you’re getting half of what you used to get isn’t noticeable. The new bowls are half the depth the old ones were. Only been back because the falafel is so good.
I guess it’s difficult to fill orders correctly at this location. Why would the employees think someone with a gluten and dairy allergy could eat Cheetos? Especially since I ordered lays chips. I know it’s only $2 but it’s just common sense people.

I had an absolutely incredible experience here today, the staff was super accommodating about my friends celiac’s disease. I had added a few modifications to my order, which came out wrong the first time. My food was so good I didn’t even want it changed. But, upon hearing that i had a few things missing, our lovely server Quita went back and had a whole new burger remade for me. John was an amazing help as well, we’ll definitely come back as it was some of the best service we’ve ever had (the food was amazing too!)

Edit: Now I have two options for GF bundt cakes!! Yay! I, happily, tasted the second one, lemon-raspberry, & it was outstanding!
I love this place, as well as their bundt cakes. My only concern is that they sell one gluten-free item and no other options. Otherwise, 5-stars.
Unique vibes but service can be hit or miss, especially with unexpected jokes that might leave you feeling uneasy.

The food here is good and Celiac friendly. However I a bad experience with my waiter who thought for some reason it would be funny to joke that my food in fact wasn't gluten free after I'd already started eating it, and then just sort of laughed and walked away before I could verify if he was kidding. Seeing as a Celiac reaction would have sent me to the ER for the night I didn't find it funny at all and was extremely anxious and had to waive him back over to confirm that he was joking before continuing to eat. Not funny. Never joke about that. For what we were paying to eat there that was kind of unacceptable. We still tipped 20%

Really good South Indian dosas.
Chef advised Angadi at coconut chutney for fear of contamination of gluten through seasoning - really really appreciate that. Thanks
Masala chai was also great.
I was disappointed to find that my friend could not continue to eat here. Though they have a Gluten Free Menu, they use the same gloves and knives they use to prepare the gluten free food as they use to prepare regular food. (In other words, they didn't change their gloves or change knives.) I understand them not wanting to "cater" to people with Celiac's, but taking the same precautions with their Gluten Free foods as they would with the foods of people with allergies would be good. I know they know how to take those precautions, since it is taught in Safe Serve, which, at least the managers, had to take.
Great service shines here, especially for those with specific requests, even if the food scene isn’t the most exciting.

In transparency, I do not like burger king food. It was kind of a last resort as my experiences with the other restaurants in the area haven't been great for breakfast. I have a gluten sensitivity. I asked the worker at the counter for something with chicken egg and cheese with no bread. He happily took care of me. This was 5 star service.

Amazing food!! We’ve ordered take out, delivery and just recently tried dine in. Every experience has been fantastic except one small time the guac wasn’t very fresh, the fixed it no problem. Some of the best guac in town. Have corn tortillas available for all their dishes so easily makes it gluten free.
