Really great fish tacos!

I am OBSESSED with this burger joint!!! As someone who eats gluten free, their gf burger buns are PHENOMENAL and don't crumble at the slightest touch. I also love their spanky sauce and my husband loves the "dirty" version. My only two complaints is that they don't seem to be open on weekends (sort of sporadic hours), and you pay the same if you don't want fries, which I'm not always in the mood for. With their hours, I recommend checking if the online ordering is available in order to see if they are open. I hope they eventually start being open on weekends because this will be my go to spot when coming to visit Tacoma!

Absolutely amazing food. Genuine people with phenomial service. Generous portion sizing. I had a gluten free Bulgogi Burger and it BLEW MY MIND!!! So incredibly delicious and the sweet potato fries were great. Outdoor and indoor seating. Indoor seats are pretty sparse but the decor is super clean and welcoming. My celiac partner can eat here without issue too!!

This place serves the best gluten-free pizza in town, and even the gluten lovers in my house can’t get enough of the Bigfoot pizza—it’s their favorite! It’s definitely worth the trip and the chance to relax in their beautiful space. A perfect spot for the whole family or a cozy date night!

Good food and service. Some gluten free options (buns)

So much good stuff. If you can live with being a pretentious, gluten-free, almond milk, free range, over educated, prius driving, composting, making your own sourdough type person... and have a trust fund to support your trip. I mean, I guess that is most of the Proctor dwellers anyway.

Visited on Halloween and had an exceptional experience. Enjoyed the Lobster Roll with Fries, Beet Salad, and non-alcoholic Headless Horseman. The music was Halloween themed and the perfect audio addition to the fog over the water. This was my second time here since the remodel and have also ordered the Grilled Lobster. Great gluten free options and consistent amazing service can be found here. Free onsite parking available. Indoor seating and seasonal outdoor seating. Reservations highly recommended.

They serve a gluten free clam chowder! It was delicious. I'll be back for more!

Primo Grill is a very classy, yet relaxed restaurant. I absolutely loved the decor and vibe of the place. We were greeted right away. We had a reservation but I did see that people could walk-in and get sat as well. They offer gluten-free noodles and I highly recommend the shrimp scampi with those noodles (PHENOMENAL)! The service was incredible. If you save room for dessert, the bourbon chocolate cake is where it’s at (also gluten free and delicious). Overall a truly great experience and definitely worth the stop. Fair warning - dishes are $17 or so and up but still worth it in my opinion. This would be the perfect place for a date. As far as parking, they don’t have a designated parking lot but there is parking available on the street around the building and surrounding area.

I've been coming here for years and it's hands down my favorite restaurant in Tacoma. I can't have dairy or gluten and I've never had any problems with eating here. The food is awesome and reasonably priced, you get a lot for what you pay for and it's delicious.The staff are also super nice.

Wanted a milkshake and fries - very happy I ended up with a burger too! Gluten free bread available. Fluffy milkshake, hand cut fries, great people too

This was my wife and I’s first experience with Taco Time when we vacationed in the state a couple of weeks ago. Taco Time composts everything they give you so you leave without trashing up the planet. We’re both vegetarians and I was diagnosed with Celiac last fall and the friendly staff couldn’t have been more helpful in guiding us through options that worked for us. I had the Baja Taco Pinto Beans both times and they were fresh, flavorful and you have to order the Tater fries. Anyone who’s lived with Del Taco or Taco Time knows potatoes and Mexi-inspired food go perfect together! I looked the company up and they seem to treat their employees well with 401k and more. You can tell folks don’t hate working here like they do at Taco Bell. Support Taco Time when you’re down for high quality food for an affordable price in the PNW.

It’s been awhile to go there but an old favorite. Almost everything is gluten free naturally (except the Naan bread, and possibly a few other items). Very knowledgeable on gluten free items. Chicken Marcella (sp.?) was great as was the lamb. The owner is very personable and came table side to discuss the dishes. Service was superb, her name was Massa-hen (I think, but don’t know how to spell it). She was very friendly and attentive. Very good Chai tea and the spices were full but not overpowering. I got a 2 star heat and it was just perfect for me. Will probably be on our weekly rotation from now on!

Look the food was decent and the wait staff was great. With that said, I probably will not be back. It was comical how awful the gluten-free bun was here. Two bites in and it had completely disintegrated around my fingers and I was left holding bun crumbs and my chicken grilled patty on one side and pickles on the other. It was lunch time but the place was not very crowded at first glance. You walk in in the kitchens on your right and some seating on the left. The bar is in the back and that seems to be where everybody prefers to sit but it's out of sight from the door and I wondered slowly to the back before I realized who was even working there other than the people in the kitchen. It was just confusing not knowing or being able to see where anybody was from the door. Lastly, they upcharge for everything. Getting a side salad instead of fries was an upcharge Even though the fries have gluten on them. The bun was enough charge which I'm used to but then paying for a credit card was also an upcharge of 4%.

My first time here was to try their gluten free pizza crust, as a good one can be hard to find. Unlike most pizza places which utilize frozen premade gluten free crusts, this was created from dough and I watched it rolled out in front of me. It was delicious and something you don’t get from other GF crusts- fluffy and doughy. Just what I like. I’ve tried it a few times since, it seems to have been made with extremely little care or effort. The crust was pressed down flat all over- no fluffy parts. In two places across from each other, it appeared to be rolled out and flattened down completely with the edges burned black. The next time, the edges were thickly burned like charcoal briquettes and a large portion would have been inedible. It also would have likely impacted the taste of the entire pizza. When I picked it up, I asked “would you eat that”, and they could not reply in good conscience. The next time I ordered, I specifically asked for the crust to be “fluffy” and it was decent, but not as good as the first pizza. I’ve probably ordered once or twice in between and make this request, but most people creating it don’t seem to make an effort. Today, I picked up my order, and I will have to remove at least half the crusts as they are black, inedible and completely charred. I was told “that’s what happens to the gluten free” when it cooks. Well, maybe if it were thicker, it wouldn’t-? Or if there were more care taken during the preparation process or cooking process, it wouldn’t burn-? Would a restaurant expect a customer to eat or pay for an inedible item if it were not gluten free? It’s unreasonable. I regret paying.

The best gluten free burger buns and pizza around and they do not up charge for gluten free.

Very underwhelming. I went in @730pm on a Sunday. Asked to order a Margarita pizza with pepperoni to go. They let me know they ran out of regular dough but had gluten free. Not an issue for me but odd. I was not told they would up charge me for the gluten free dough. Which they shouldn’t have. My one pizza totaled $18.73 before tip. This made sense now why the couple in front of me didn’t order pizza. So I’m assuming dough is frozen. What restaurant isn’t able to make more dough? It's flour, salt, yeast and water. The pizza came out quick but with hardly anything on it. It was about 9 inches in size which is perfect for one person. But barely covered with sauce, mozzarella or pepperoni. I moved everything to one side to fully cover the dough. Only ate that half. See the photo included. I am bummed with this experience. I was so eager to finally find a great place in Tacoma for pizza. More toppings to fully cover the pizza and not paying for the restaurants lack of ingredients to make dough would have gone a long way.

Gluten free Diablo scramble was yummy. Server was great.

Jessica Seigel

the best coffee shop in all of Tacoma. The spiced chai is actually spicy and it's so delicious. They have a mix of gluten free and vegan pastries and they keep their gluten free pastries separate from their regular pastries so it's celiac safe. Highly recommend!

They have gluten free options. They r in the same case as the gluten options unwrapped, so definitely a cross contamination concern. Otherwise, very yummy food and coffee, including great staff and atmosphere.
