Amber MacDowell

Beautiful restaurant, efficient and friendly server. It was fantastic that their gluten-free menu offered a wide variety of options. Excellent Chocolate Martini and the Creme Brule was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Amanda Frank

Trevor and Cordell did an incredible job! We get them almost everytime we come and their service never disappoints. They make each dining experience one to remember! The food is fire as always! Thankful for all the gluten-free options!

Paul Floyd

Best experience! Staff were super fun and friendly which after a full day of work was super refreshing. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and the staff were super aware and prepared my order safely. Changing out gloves using special container of sauce etc. The best part though was at the end when the team member cutting my pizza let me know they used a new clean pizza cutter. Thank you valley west blaze crew for giving this food allergy guy a safe place to eat.

They have great gluten free buns, and their staff is all so friendly with amazing food and drinks! Definitely a place we will return too often!

Betty Meeker

Great produce. Good frozen foods selection. Several gluten free selections that are tasty. Friendly, helpful workers. Always something new.

Driving through Iowa, I decided to take a break at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers—and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, Calista’s friendly and welcoming attitude made the experience even better. She provided excellent service, ensuring everything was just right. The Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger was delicious, served on a gluten-free bun that was soft yet held together perfectly. And those sweet potato fries? Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the meal! This location delivers on both great food and outstanding customer service. If you’re in the area and craving a satisfying meal, Red Robin won’t disappoint!

Christine Engelhardt

Went there for the first time. Had the Gluten Free wrap with the Chicken Salad. Wow! Most amazing wrap I have ever had. I will definitely be back.

Cassidy Murray

Banana Leaf is the best! As someone who is celiac, I have never had an issue here and their menu is clearly marked with GF options. I love having lunch or dinner with friends and family here, everyone loves the food and the atmosphere is wonderful. Take-out is always super fast too. Awesome Thai tea as well.

Jacob Miller

Attention Celiacs! A Hidden Gem for Fresh, Gluten-Free Eats After a trip to Colorado, I was craving the perfect grain bowl—and I stumbled upon this place. Think of it as a guilt-free Chipotle! I ordered the Fiesta Bowl, and my wife got a similar dish. Everything was fantastic—the portion sizes were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were spot on. I’m honestly surprised I hadn’t heard of this place before, but I’ll definitely be back!

Christeen

Nice deli, food was good. We tried it out since it showed they had Gluten-free options. The menu states it's gluten free options are not for Celiac individuals. We had a Celiac person with us. They have baked potatoes, which was a good option for our Celiac individual. I'm just not sure how much cross contamination there is. So overall, it's not the best option if you have Celiacs.

ND Yutzy

The food was great and they have good gluten free options. The waiter was just ok but the hostess (I believe her name was Rachel) was great. The kind of person that keeps you going back. Not a huge fan of the all open floor plan restaurants but the food was good enough it's not a deal breaker. Would definitely go back when we're in the area again.

Bruce Graves

Best gluten free pizza anywhere

Crystal Wolfe

Love all the options. I did build your own. I did the gluten free crust. It was very good.

Londa Vandegriend

My daughter and I always love putting together what we'll eat at HuHot. The food it always hot and fresh. The cooks always clean the grill for my gluten free space, which is great. The grill is generally cleaned pretty good and I have never had problems after. I wish there were more gluten-free options for seasoning because I am not a fan of the peanut and the Kung pao is really spicy! The wait staff have been very quick and attentive. The interior carpets, etc could use updating or some deep cleaning, maybe both, but the tables have been washed down and cleaned everything we have been there. We will definitely return. It's one of my daughter's favorite places to eat out.

Jill King

First time to Smash Park & rented one of their party game rooms. Our party enjoyed great gluten free appetizers & had lots of fun with all the games & on pickleball court. The staff was friendly, timely, had great recommendations for planning our catering. I would recommend for your next party!

Amy Blankenburg

I'm newly diagnosed celiac and it turned my dining out life upside down. Wasabi is my go to. This disease really makes you feel like a pain in the butt to wait staff but not here. They are so cautious and so understanding, making me always feel safe eating here. And the food is always on point. Gavin his my go-to waiter. He takes such good care of us when we're there. And if something isn't gluten free and you want to try it, chances are they can make it gluten free for you. Thank you Wasabi. You have no idea how much it means to me to be able to eat safely at your restaurant.

Cristy Meyer

Yum! Small mom and pop restaurant and is above all others. I drive 2 hours just to have the gluten free chicken pad Thai

Kathleen Richmond

Excellent gluten free donuts! Great selection, good service, and spacious location with lots of parking, easily accessible off of the highway!

Jonathan Alaniz

Food is great. Place was clean. Only mishap is that my wife's fríes were swapped with mine. She has a gluten sensitivity, so part of her fries touched my burger, so she couldn't eat them.

Kathy Kay

Their polenta is wonderful and gluten free

Cory Zorn

Awesome thanks for the Gluten free foods

Connie Follett

Ordered several pizzas & breadsticks in store. Everything hot and ready to go in less than 15 minutes 🥖🍕🥖. Employee was personable and efficient! Also had gluten free pizza.

Private

Friendly staff and great amount of products. Love all the gluten free options, would love to see some come fresh from the bakery.

Cassidy Murray

Went in at evening rush yesterday to order some grilled nuggets. As someone with Celiac, it always makes me a little anxious to go at peak hours due to risk of cross contamination. Manny quickly put me at ease! His fabulous service and personality made my whole day. Thank you, Manny!! He took the time to quickly check and get answers to a few weird questions I had. He didn’t make me feel bad or like a burden to ask and took time out of his busy day to make sure I got the answers I needed! The whole team was fabulous as always, Manny just deserves an extra brag!!

David V Ferkul

Service was pretty good. The food is delicious. They do have a few gluten free entrees.

Maria Estelle

Their health section has a variety-Keto, gluten-free, paleo, etc. 10% off on Wednesdays.

Valerie J-M

So much gluten free food! The meat is delivered to your table and they have everything marked on their menu. I think I ate three meals worth of food. The best was the pineapple! We're definitely coming back here again.

Tom Torode

Delicious. My wife and I got the cinnamon popp'd heart, turkey and avocado sandwich on gluten free bread. Gluten free pancakes, which were delicious and I got the pound cake French toast (not gluten free). We also shared the green juice. My wife has told me at least 3x this week that we should go back to Homegrown for the turkey sandwich and juice. I would recommend placing your reservation early, they fill up quickly, especially after church.

Kirk

Great food. Great Service. Love the Gluten Free options.

Jason Humphries

My buddy and I had an amazing gluten free but absolutely delicious meal that by the end of it included goat, lamb and chicken. Super friendly and prompt service. Not a fancy restaurant but it was very nice and super clean. I will be back!

Nathaniel haines

I like the food but so busy sometimes it's crazy you would believe they are the only place around in the five mile radius anyways I do like the food over priced for sure but good food and the have gluten free options which I would like them to somehow expand on stuck to grilled chicken or a 14 dollar small salad

Ms Alhadi

This place was so delicious, I had the gluten free chicken wrap so good :D and I also had the red curry and white rice . I have celiac and the waitress was so knowledgeable and very nice. Please go and enjoy dinner

Trey Webster

Tons of gluten free options. Our server Erika was great.

Phyllis Johnson

I love their gluten free choices and large selection of foods!

J St

Sandwiches and salads are good as always. Brownies are incredible. My ex has to eat gluten free, and they accommodated her with no problems!

claire

good gluten free options! got a p10 pho and spring rolls- yum!

Crystal Wolfe

Food was great! Love the gluten free options!

Erik Donner

This is a wonderful trip to take someone for their birthday. The staff treated us so well! And lots of great gluten free, vegetarian, and some vegan options as well. :)

Tara Newton

Allergy and Celiac friendly! Just let them know when you make your reservation or when you walk in. I have Celiac disease and am also allergic to dairy, egg, and peanut. I had an amazing meal! Everything was prepared separately and no cross contamination occurred. I will be back!

G. Rogel

Yummy coffee and great gluten, vegetarian and alternative options.

Nancy Kusek

The food was hot and fresh. The drive thru lady was super nice and it is always awesome when a restaurant has gluten free buns that my mom can eat.

Brianna Koulback

Kamryn took my order and was extremely friendly and polite. Also took my gluten allergy very seriously! 10/10 experience!

Rachelle Waddle

Amazing food, generous portions. Very unique place! Most of the savory options are Mexican crepes, and there is a Thai crepe as well. I had a Hawaiian crepe and I loved it. The kids both loved their kids crepes - (ham and cheese and chicken and cheese crepes). The best part (for me) is - all of the crepes are GLUTEN FREE!! The crepes are made from buckwheat and are delicious. Their Nutella crepes are delicious as well!

Sabrina Carper

So appreciate that they have gluten free bread and that nearly anything on their menu can be made gf. Fast service, great variety in menu. Good as an easy lunch option.

Tischa Raugh

Food was ok. Nice that they have gluten free and vegan options. The restaurant could use some cleaning. Trash overflowing in the lobby. Dirty floors.

Emily Teas

Husband and I heard good things about Opa and decided to try it out. It exceeded expectations! Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. We both had Pasta Opa with mixed sauce and it was as delicious! Also, you can bring your own wine with a small corkage fee. Our server was very polite and enthusiastic. We will definitely be returning to try different dishes.

Danielle Cooper

Jennifer was very helpful and aware of the gluten free menu- which is a huge plus! She helped make the birthday at the table special.

Shannon Waigand

We had a party of 9, 730 pm Saturday night. 5 were wanting prime rib, however, they only had 2 left and they were medium so no one wanted that. The pricing online was about $9-12 less on items than it was in the restaurant. We waited a while to be seated, Gus was the waiter. He seemed overwhelmed and didn’t start off too overly friendly. Finally we placed our orders and the food came in good time and the service improved. We had a nice meal just wasn’t what we set out for. I would go back though for sure. My halibut (gluten free) was amazing!
