First but not last time visiting. Went in for breakfast but ordered GF Pecan Pie. Pie is breakfast right? Served warm on top of a caramel drizzle with a small cup of vanilla ice cream and sliced berries. So delicious and rich I almost finished it. There are so many GF dishes to choose from. I can't wait to return. I also bought a slice of GF Italian Cream Cake to take to a wedding. Prices are on the higher end of the scale but right for the area.

i hate to say i was glutened here because i’m not 100% (i just have a really sensitive stomach so i’m not for sure what made me sick) but something from my meal here took me out for a good 12 hours. i was up ALL night sick. I also sat at the bar and they seemed to touch gluten and non gluten things with the same gloves so that was iffy for a celiac like me but i just assumed they didn’t do that with my food because i made my allergy known and took the risk. the food wasn’t even very good so definitely wasn’t worth it. their gluten free macaroni was super good, but i got the chicken fried chicken and it was over cooked and super rubbery. the gravy is made of coconut milk so it did not taste like gravy. some people may love that but it just was not for me. my family seemed to like their meals so i’m not saying don’t go here, just wanted to share my experience just in case!

Dedicated gluten free restaurant! Love everything I’ve tried here, the sweet potato fries are amazing. Highly recommend the Defined Dish Enchiladas. I am dairy and gluten free and loved they used lactose free cheese as I’d never tried it. I’m a regular now!

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Almost everything is gluten free- they do not fry anything containing gluten. The chicken fried chicken was great. Great experience.

Nice atmosphere and great service. Chicken and waffle just okay, and I hate to say that. Waffle tasted good but had been steamed, not crispy. Chicken breast fried, but needed salt and pepper. I so wanted it to be fabulous! Happy to have gf though.

We stopped in for late breakfast yesterday and loved the atmosphere. I ordered an almond milk latte with their house-made almond milk and the GF chicken & waffles. The latte was good, but the chicken and waffles were a bit underwhelming. (Sadly the waffle was really crumbly and blackened on the bottom and the chicken was way overcooked and not salted at all.) I think I just ordered the wrong thing though--the folks sitting next to us ordered a delicious-looking appetizer and sweet potato hash bowls and they were raving about them. I noticed a lot of people were ordering the breakfast tacos also, so we'll go back and try some of the other options, especially since I didn't have any reactions to my meal, so they definitely have the safety portion down.

Celiac dedicated restaurant. I always want to try GF fried foods because we never get to eat them. So highly recommend the fried calamari and we had the chicken fried steak. Also the Italian wedding cake is amazing. It’s on the pricier side. Especially their cocktails.

Amazing! Gluten free beer on draught, and so many menu items I rarely am able to have. Some items on menu say “gluten free” in the name but the server said everything is gluten free (other than some regular beers available). I got chicken fried steak and then shared pecan pie and chocolate mousse with my friends. Also one of our party is vegan and seemed to have no trouble finding options. If I ever come to Dallas again I’m going here!

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary and we were blown away by the whole experience. I found this place on Instagram and saw there were tons of GF options. I thought I would only be able to eat off of their “clean” menu, but we were informed that I could eat anything on the menu (anything with bread, just mention you need GF). There are no items that are fried with gluten, so anything fried is safe to eat. We ate the brussel sprout artichoke dip with half corn chips and half malanga chips as an appetizer. My husband had the short rib and I had the green goddess salad. Everything we ate was over the top amazing and the service was perfect. I definitely recommend this place for a romantic date night or any other special occasion.

The restaurant isn’t 100% GF, but most items can be made GF. They were pretty busy when I went so the service was lacking a bit. I had the chilaquiles and my SO had the French toast. The food was good but somewhat bland. Pretty expensive too.

A-maz-ing! Everything was delicious and everything was free from most allergens! All desserts automatically gluten free!? I’ve never seen such an extensive menu with so many options I could have (I’m both gluten and dairy free). Truly amazing food, if you’re gluten free and tired of “making do” when eating out, this place is a MUST!!

I ordered the GF Chicken and Waffles - the chicken was dry, and the waffles were overcooked.

I sat at the bar, and I witnessed quite a bit of cross contamination, i.e. a lime was put into a margarita, but the bartender took a sip of the drink with a before sending out and realized he forgot the lime juice. He took the lime out and put in back with other sliced citrus. While he was remixing the drink, another person picked up the lime and put it in a sparkling water for another customer.

The staff was very incompetent. I ordered gluten free “the king” and was brought regular bread. After the first bite I realized they had messed up. I stated gluten free multiple times in my order. Very disappointed.

After their mistake I was still charged full price which was annoying since now I’ve spent my day feeling ill.

Very friendly place to eat for Celiac. I had fried calamari, and the chicken & waffle. First time in over a decade having either, so I greatly appreciated the novelty.

However, the calamari was fried to all hell. Waaaayyyyy crunchy. Still enjoyable. The waffle was dense and dry, and honestly a little difficult to choke down. Tasty, but overcooked across the board. They brought me extra syrup about mid-way through, without my asking, so maybe they could tell? It helped a little but it was still on the dry side. I get it, gluten free bready items are tough.

Really would love to see them continue and be successful, but maybe tweak the cooking times or recipes or something. Please try them out, let us know how your food was.

The listing for this is wrong. Hopefully it is updated soon. They have a great gluten free breakfast that’s served all day

They offered gluten free waffles, French toast and pancakes. The gluten free chicken and waffles isn’t better than Max’s Wine Dive but a close second. The chicken is better than the waffle. Next time I go back I’ll try the pancakes.
