What happened with this place?! Ordered Gluten Free, (great in past), $27 tiny pizza at 5:22, received 6:50 still tipped nice. Burnt & cold, hardly any cheese, misshaped. Didn't want to complain knew they were bombed for New Year's Eve & I was starving. Went to bed early to be woke with abdominal pain having violent diarrhea, several times! Rough night. Still not feeling well this morning, more bathroom visits, trying to sip as much water as I could and called to let Danny's know at 11:29, girl was nice said manager was in basement one of them would call me back, took number, & name of credit card as son treated me. 12:34 I call back he says he'll decide how to take care of me & call me back, still nothing. Aggravated and feeling blown off and still not feeling well, water and alittle yogurt not cutting it, now I'm hungry so I call at 2:19 & I'm asked if I want to order and knowing who I was, different girl from morning I'd replied by now I am hungry can he just replace it?! She said he was still looking through the receipts, since last night?! I'd asked. I said I'd rather just see what he's decided. It's 3:57 now, My stomach hurts, I'm not happy at all, I am hungry and I don't feel well enough to make something, I feel shaky and weak and now ticked off. I decided to read the reviews. and there are countless ones saying that you are not going to get a call back from the manager. :( I used to love this place. As I opened with what happened?! Those pizzas never look like that before! I don't deserve to be treated this way, no one does! I didn't think I would have to worry if I let him replace it... I figured he would monitor that one! I was trying to be understanding, And also I knew they were getting hit hard from the holiday, I was trying to be nice about it too, and still tipped well on top of everything, and this is the thanks I got. People don't understand when you have a gluten allergy you can't just go anywhere, You have to cook everything you eat. The only break we get is to order a gluten free pizza... And for me that's only on occasion. I'm scheduled to see my Gastrointestinal doctor Happy new year to you too Danny's Pizza

Best burgers in town. Nothing fancy atmosphere wise but service is solid and pleasant and they can deal with gluten and dairy allergies. Pickles are dope, side salads are fresh and crispy. Would love to see a different reposado like casa noble or casamigos added to the bar but that’s just being picky.

I’ve never eaten inside, but have picked up from here 4 times now. The Drunken Noodle dish is prepared deliciously. I made a request to have it made vegan and gluten free and when I picked it up there were added stickers indicating my request had been fulfilled. The owner is very welcoming and appreciative of the repeat business.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Elgin. It has a beautiful view of downtown Elgin. The food and the coffee is amazing and the service is wonderful. They know my order and they're very friendly. Also, their gluten free bread is very good. I would highly recommend it.

Cute little cafe with plenty of coffee shop beverages. The food was reasonably priced, service was quick, and variety was available. They had a few vegetarian options and gluten free bread. Overall the food was well prepared. Only down would be my sandwich was soaked in balsamic vinegar to the point of soggy bread and the coffee was a little burnt. The pumpkin spice latte was amazing though!
