Staff knowledgeable. Have lots of options for gluten free. Had the burger - was tasty. Have a dedicated kitchen. Good for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. Enjoyed my meal. I also used my Nima to test my food. Had the Pineapple Express burger, no chips, double the simple salad, and Gf chocolate chip cookie. Would be 5 stars but they were having a few issues with being out of menu items.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of my new favorite restaurants!! Lucky to have Illinois' only location near me!

Favorites: Chicken bites (buffalo, Sriracha, salt n pepper)--all awesome; Sriracha Shrimp Bowl-spectacular; Cuban-nice change of pace!; Fries are good.

Mediocre: Smashers (fingerling potatoes--very greasy) Would love it if they introduced something with more crispiness--like loaded waffle fries or something.

Burger was awesome, now they switched from bun to bread and the bread has a rice flour "taste" that's off-putting.

I'm very sensitive to gluten and trust this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Many gluten free items, very tasty!

Guac, burgees, impossible burger, veggie tacos, and siracha shrimp bowl all good. Salmon burger was disgusting. Great gluten options

This is my go to restaurant!!! We came on opening day and have come here very frequently since. I have never gotten sick here! If you do decide to come, definitely try their gluten free Icecream sandwich 😋.

Next Door did a fantastic job handling celiac disease and preventing cross contamination. They have a separate fryer, sanitize and take all precautions when preparing your food. Almost all items can be made GF. They also make the most amazing chocolate chip cookies!

Celiac friendly?

We’ve been here twice and the staff is knowledgeable, they have clear information on what can be made GF. Tested it in Nima and no gluten was found 🎉👌🏼. Food is delicious too which is definitely a plus.

There are a ton of options here. Most items, except for the fish and chips are GF or can be made GF. They have protocols in place to handle Celiac orders. I’ve been several times without issues.

Good food, knowledgeable staff, and dedicated fryer. Majority of menu is GF or can be modified to be GF.

I felt really safe eating there. Great protocols in place, dedicated fryer! The food was quite good, but not amazing. Fries came out a bit cold. But will definitely visit again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a miscommunication about my to-go order. The chef came to talk to me and fixed it right away. These people are legit

Had such a great experience here! Dedicated fryer and lots of clearly labeled gf options. Had yummy fries, gf bun, and gf fried calamari that was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A lot of gluten free options on the menu and, as a celiac, I felt safe eating here. Food is very good. Also offers quite a few vegetarian options.

Celiac friendly?

No dedicated fryer anymore, as all oil is run through a shared filter :( I got the mushroom tacos and they were good but the portion was very small for the price.

We went here for my sons birthday looking forward to having some gluten free food and we are lucky our waiter was so knowledgeable. He said that they have a separate fryer but the oil is filtered through the gluten fryer at the end of the night. He said if you are super sensitive, stay away from the fries and chips even though they say they are GF. We thought it was a safe risk... it was not. Not their fault at all but we want everyone to know we wouldn’t consider this a super celiac safe restaurant!

I love this place is amazing. They have wonderful food. The bartender Brett is fantastic. The food is incredible. For someone with celiac is a really hard to find a place that I can eat and still bring my friends that eat normal, where everyone is happy. I highly recommend this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac's beware of old reviews, they no longer have a dedicated flyer and basically gave up trying to offer true gluten free options. We use to come here often as the staff were educated and happy to help guide you through your options. My son got sick on our last 2 visits from servers not being honest or not knowing what's truly GF.
