Violently sick from their “gluten free” food. Not worth the risk, ever! Should be removed from app

EDIT: This is the third time in a row I’ve had a dead insect in my salad. I wish it weren’t the case, but I just don’t feel that the kitchen is very sanitary. Won’t be returning.

I’ve always had good experiences here. The salads are great (and HUGE), and I’m a big fan of their soups.

I have eaten here before with no problems (that I can remember), but my last visit left me sick. I ordered the veggie enchiladas (clearly marked GF) and let the server know about my celiac disease. All though I trust the restaurant wanted to be careful, there was too much contamination. I won’t be going back :(

No specific gluten free menu. No GF options pointed out on their menu. But all it takes is a conversation with their staff to figure out options. Luckily I got a SUPER helpful and informed staff member (go Annie!) who was able to point me in the right direction and offer substitutes. I’m sure each visit will be different depending on who helps you. Best of luck!

Have eaten here in the past, but when I went there a couple of weeks ago, they told me that they do NOT have anything that is gluten free. I asked for the manager and she told me the same thing. When I said that I had ordered from a GlutenFree menu several time before, she told me she had been there for five years and they had NEVER had a gluten free menu!

Great food and good g-free options; and non-g-free as well! My husband who doesn't need to eat g-free loved the selection and quality of his dinner. Knowledgable about g-free. Good service (Fullerton location). Wish there was one in my home town! Look forward to returning the next time I'm in the area.

Large selection of gluten free items on a printed GF menu (4 pages long). I had a Mediterranean salad which was quite large, and delicious. Service at lunch was quick and efficient.

it's a cool place to go but the service is just so-so and sometimes not as good as that. the food is okay but there isn't anything I have to go back there for. I usually only go when someone else really wants to... and there are plenty who do!

Great find in Orange, CA! We had a great GF meal and it was all delicious and safe. None of us got sick! I would eat here again without hesitation. We had garlic chicken sandwich, the Heap, and old town club all on GF bread. Also the chili, Beth’s bowl and Cobb salad. The staff was so friendly, accommodating and very confident in doing things GF the right way.

I was able to get the garlic chicken sandwich on gluten free bread. It was AMAZING! I was concerned at first with how quickly the server took my order and noted the gluten allergy but I checked with him when he came back out and he showed me the ticket that said allergy and said that they get gluten allergies so often that it’s routine now. Amazing honestly! Great and quick service as well. Can’t wait to come back.

I have always had good experiences here. They are able to prepare GF items separately, and I haven’t gotten sick. The food is great, too!
