INCREDIBLE!!! We happened upon this restaurant without even realizing it is 100% gluten free! I was so excited! My friends and I shared the french toast, the biscuits and gravy, the smashed potatoes, the Benedict and the frittata. Every single thing was delicious! I can not recommend this place enough for flavor, options and complete gluten safe!!!!

Ate basically every meal here for a week in August 2022. No issues (celiac). Oh, and everything is delicious. Highly recommend this place, especially the taco bowl, fried chicken, and especially the crispy potatoes!

LOVED this place so much that we went back the next day! I have Celiac Disease and have not had biscuits and gravy in 5 years… the biscuits were soft and delicious! I wish I could replicate the sweet potato hash at home and the Bloody Mary mix was the best I have ever had. My gluten eating friend loved her avocado toast and the smoked salmon toast. I will be back the next time I am in Austin

Only vegetarian option is the avocado toast. It was tasty but expensive for what it is. Coffee also felt incredibly expensive. Sausage taco was decent—visually though, the tortilla is not very appealing.

This is my wife’s favorite restaurant in Austin. She is celiac and has a dairy allergy. The whole restaurant is gluten free and they do a great job with the dairy allergy. I’ve never been so excited to consistently go to a restaurant that’s out of our budget :)

Servers were very friendly. Everything was safe. Order the chicken appetizer and the wings! So delicious. I would eat the chicken and honey mustard appetizer as a meal sometime. Cobb salad was recommended by my mom who enjoyed it very much. (It uses the same chicken as in the appetizer I mention above) Dessert was yummy. Maybe get the cheesecake without the sauce though!

Loved our experience there.

Got the queso (amazing!) both GF/DF as an appetizer.

We split the texas wagyu steak and also the chicken tenders.

Would come back for sure!

This is a dedicated gluten free facility, so great GF safety protocols

Super good food at the restaurant - great variety of options and quality. The take-home meals (available now, during the pandemic) are also really good and easy to prepare.

Easily one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I felt absolutely safe eating here with celiac disease. Many of their menu items are paleo-friendly and they also accommodated my other dietary sensitivities (ie. nightshade vegetables). The staff was amazing, the vibes were outstanding, and above all, the food was epic.

Entire menu is gluten, corn, peanut, and soy free. Located in a trailer with small tables set outside. Small menu and the breakfast tacos ran out. The butter coffee is unique and so good we stopped here twice in 24 hours. House chai is also delicious. A little pricey but very high quality ingredients.

I LOVED THEIR COFFEE. My boyfriend and I got the Little Larry and the Dirty Chai - dairy free (with Ghee instead of butter) - both iced, they were so delicious that we went back for seconds!! We also tried a sandwich and a wrap and both were delicious. We also had to try the butter bone broth - which we decided to again sub in ghee and I LOVED it but he thought it was a little too rich for him.

I have Celiac so I was a bit concerned about cross contamination that was mentioned in a previous review, so I decided to grill the nice girl that came to greet us and show us their whole spread. She told me that everything that they make in the trailer -the coffee and bone broths- are all clear but there are certain things that are prepared in a shared kitchen. So she pointed those out and I just avoided those things. Their sandwich bread is fine for Celiac because they order that from another place that has a dedicated facility! It was delicious by the way.

The girl informed me that they are working on getting their own kitchen space so they can be truly gluten free and Celiac friendly!! I look forward to being able to come back and try the entire menu!!

They are definitely knowledgeable about what could be cross contaminated, which in my experience is half the battle.
