Great burger, gluten free bun AND beer. Wish we had a place like this back in VA Beach.

Super fun little knick knacky spot. Kind of feels like you're in an 80's sitcom hangout. The ladies are very sweet! The food was quite good, including a gluten-free selection. If I lived a little closer I would be a regular- but instead I'll be an occasional visitor. Either way, I'll definitely be back!

Website advertises gluten free options. However, server didn't know what gluten was (she thought corn tortillas contained gluten) and refused to ask kitchen if menu items had gluten or could be modified. She threw up her hands and said "well I don't know". I went with gf pancakes to be safe as they were the only thing clearly marked. They were decent and the bloody Mary was pretty good. Overall nothing to write home about but not bad. My suggestion to management would be if you're going to advertise about having gf options please educate your staff on what those options are.

Was searching for a specific gluten free item, and was striking out everywhere. Stopped by here (first time) and low and behold, they had it!! Saving Christmas with the mix I need to make my gluten free gingerbread. Thanks Jimbos!

I've been coming for years. My favorite place to get a sandwich! And gelato, of course. A few gluten free pastries baked daily, great tea selection, and good coffee. Not easy for large groups but great for small get togethers. Order ahead on their site or by phone. Really friendly staff ever time.

4 words: gluten free French toast! It was delicious. I hadn't had French toast in almost 3.5 years since becoming gluten intolerant, and felt great after! They also have other gluten free options and great bacon. We showed up right at opening, 6am, after driving 11.5 hours on a road trip. The kindness of the waitress and great food made for a great start to the day :)

Delightful Sweet Staff Amazing Food. Great Vegan Gluten Free Options

Wendy B. Wilde

Lots of friendly employees. Great prices and an increasing amount of GLUTEN FREE FOOD.

Timothy Cameron

Fast service even though it was super busy. First serving of fries was cold but they replaced them immediately with fresh fries. Lettuce wrap option for burger is great for gluten free diet.

Stacy Sheeran

My mom and I had a great experience here. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, especially when it came to finding gluten free options and making modifications!

Erik Jokinen

Epic gluten free pizza! I was very happy with the quick service and the amazing 5 meat pizza I ordered on their GF crust. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in town.

Leah Saggio

Really enjoyed our visit. Beautiful view and nice wine options. The guy who helped us had some great recommendations as we weren’t sure what to get and he helped us build a flight. Also had a delicious gluten free pizza, which was a nice surprise! Would absolutely come here again if we come to Ramona again.

Ingrid Rainey

Delicious gluten-free and celiac friendly. Impeccable gluten-free food and service. Love the Beautiful surroundings as well. Love this place!

Robert Berry

Gluten free menu, I can't eat there bread and that really socks , I can't have gluten My chicken parmesan dish was excellent 😋

mary marino

Frans has the yummiest sandwiches with the greatest ingredients. I always look forward to getting their valencia oranges that have the sweetest juice. Their carrot cake is truly divine and also gluten free! Great customer service and always very appreciate of their community. Thank you Fran’s!

Margarita Oshea

Lee J Jones

They have Gluten Free pizza dough, made from rice and potato starch, and you can get the 12" pizzas GF for an extra $4 (so about $30). The pizzas are piled and very filling and enjoyable. We started with an antipasto salad (wonderful) and two GF pizzas, it was way more food than we expected. If you have Celiac, ask for the manager and they'll make double sure that your GF pizzas are cooked on a separate liner and cut with a separate slicer. Would definitely come again.

Great experience. I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. Our server was very knowledgeable about what was safe. My food was very flavorful and my margarita was good too.

Jodi Hassett

I have this about once a year or so and am disappointed every time! The service was great but the sandwich just doesn’t hit it. Fat, gristle, and the chicken doesn’t even cover the little gluten free bun. Extra pickle is four slices, all in one spot on the bun. We waited for our order which is cool cause this means it will be fresh…ugghhh the fries were just above room temp! Oh and I paid for pepper jack cheese to add luster to the grilled chicken…they forgot it!!! Too late cause we arrived 5 minutes before closing! Bummer! I gave the 4star cause the guys were happy and congenial. On top of this, my husband loved his sandwich and the peppermint shake is fire!

Jennifer Ables

OMG, just SO GOOD! My friend and I stopped here on our way to Temecula - it's really hard to find vegan food as is, but GOOD vegan food is impossible UNTIL NOW! We shared the guac which was outstanding! Then when our food came, our jaws hit the floor! Beautiful presentation and huge portions! My friend got a burrito the size of her head lol and I got the Gordita Plate (Gluten Free option) and added cheese and sour cream. I don't have words to describe how delicious everything was! The cucumber drink was so refreshing and the horchata was perfectly sweet as my liquid dessert. I can't wait to go back!

Great dinner place to go as a couple or a group! We went here for New Year’s Eve. They made it festive with decorations and a preset menu to help things more quickly and smoothly with more people coming in. I had the short rib, and it was delicious!! Our server was friendly, helpful with my questions about gluten free options, and made our dinner a good experience. The views were beautiful. They had live music upstairs. We’d love to come back again!

Suzanne

Good food, good service. Helpful that gluten free pasta was available.

Double check your ticket/ check before paying. My family and I visited this place last week while in town and noticed that our bill was incorrect and when I asked for them to change it, the guy argued saying it was the correct prices. I had to show him the menu and it was only then he changed it. If they make this “ mistake “ with every patron it can definitely add up for them. On the other hand this place was pretty busy and is favored by a lot of locals which we can see why. The menu is huge and offers many Asian cuisines from mostly Vietnamese, some Chinese, some Thai and even a couple Filipino dishes and is even vegan & gluten free friendly. Half my family is vegan so this is a great place for both omnis and vegans due to their options. Since it was listed as a Vietnamese restaurant and saw the menu was mostly Vietnamese Cuisine, we all just got different Phos and I love that they have a true pho flavor soup that was made with veggies and the traditional pho spices. It was tasty and packed with fresh veggies BUT it was definitely on the sweeter side. Even the broth felt sticky after it spilled a little on the table. I’m not sure if this is the norm here or just that day that they put way too much rock sugar in their broth but either way it was too much for me.

Thank you for the gluten free crust.

Deviant Exposure

Omg!!! This place was beyond amazing. Not only do they have an extensive gluten-free menu available, But they're also incredibly friendly, and professional. The chef even caught one of the items that was listed on the gluten-free menu, had been recently changed, and was no longer safe. I absolutely appreciate the due diligence for my concern. I had the yakisoba with gluten free noodles, which typically, for gluten-free does not come with a sauce. But their black miso glaze that they use on their salmon, was an absolutely perfect substitute. The flavor was incredible, as was everything else. I don't live in the area, but I guarantee that when I do come around here. I will be back. You can lay money on that

It was early for a Wednesday dinner so there were few cars in the lot. And the way the place looks, we almost turned away, but decided to take a chance. Boy we’re glad we did. The food and the service were great! Three of our party had gluten free sandwiches, the one cook in our group smelled the fried chicken upon entry, and it lived up to his expectations. Get a slice of pie for dessert. They’re home made, including the whipped cream.

Robin K.

The good is that there are gluten free items on their menu and staff seemed knowledgeable. Staff were friendly and nice. Prices were high. Presentation was very nice on items ordered. The shrimp cocktail very good and not skimpy. The octopus starter dish Super chewy, not done properly. MaiTai was very good. Old Fashions came with nothing to stir with so folks were complaining about that. The Tiger Shrimp and Grits...shrimp was good, the grits were too thick and gummy, the whole plate very salty. Over all a meh experience and we won't be going back. Too expensive for a meh experience.

I have found my favorite coffee shop!! I’ve only been here a few times but the atmosphere is quite lovely! That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s quiet in a calm way. People are here (with kids) and talking but it’s not the hustle and bustle of other shops. I don’t live near here me, but this might become a regular “Let’s go have coffee” spot. Definitely I want a change of scenery and coffee. I got peanut butter toast today so I could feel like a kid! It’s actually TWO slices. I was not expecting that. If you have two young kids (minus allergies) you could order one of these and feed both. 😆 They have some gluten free options in the baked goods. Today they had protein donuts. Next time.

Cassandra Smith

Amazing, kind service! They went out of their way on a busy night to accommodate us and my son’s gluten allergy. The food was great and the portions were huge. The spicy sauce is the way to go. Definitely coming back.

Fantastic food! They a good variety of pizzas. We loved authentic Indian flavors like tikka chicken pizza. They also have gluten free, vegan options. Really loved this place.

Anthony Layos

Great place for a drink / meal . They offer gluten free pizza options! Awesome Layout for seating indoor and outdoor, highly recommended for a lunch spot/after work chill spot.

Great location with easy access and parking. Beautiful interior seating, some with views of the brewery. Great outdoor seating too. Very friendly and helpful employees. Extensive beer selections, many made on site. The food selections were so good that it was difficult to select something. My wife ordered Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA and Blackened Salmon which she described as "buttery". I selected Stone Delicious Double IPA and Fish and Chips which is just right breaded. They also have beer that is fermented in a manner that breaks down and removes gluten, rendering gluten levels so significantly that the beer qualifies as a “gluten-reduced” ale per the FDA. We were given a taste, and want to try it the next time that we are in Escondido.

Cynthia Kiesel

Lots of GF options.

Please be careful what you order, their brisket or BBQ, or both, are marinated or cooked in something that eliminates the gluten free option. We are not sure which entree was the culprit, please double check how the meat is cooked when you order. Besides our GF reaction, go with the St. Louis BBQ sauce, their house sauce is bland. Adding brisket to the salad was a good option, but the brisket was cold, so it did not add to the greens. We absolutely enjoyed the cole slaw, perfectly flavored and just wet enough. We were split with the BBQ, it was average, nothing memorable, just filling.
