This is a go-to restaurant for me. The majority of items on the menu are GF, and even more can be modified. It’s reliably tasty and quick too. I’ve never gotten sick here- their mac and cheese is always GF and they carry several GF baked goods too. They recently started making sweet potato fries that are GF as well! Love it!

I told the counter person I had celiac and ordered a dish that she assured me was safe. I ate several bites before I realized it was dusted with breadcrumbs! I was horrified and complained. The same woman who'd taken my order didn't at all seem to understand what I was saying or why i was upset The manager was kind and apologetic, but I realized the staff was not trained or aware, despite the gf options on the menu.

Not a dedicated gluten free restaurant BUT without asking, when I asked what items are prepared with the lowest risk for CC, the knowledgeable young lady said I could have anything gluten free and they would use celiac protocols. Most of the menu was gluten free but mine was prepared with clean gloves, utensils, etc. It was delicious and my daughter loved it too. I had queso and the chicken burrito. Can’t wait to go back! Hope they open one in the north suburbs soon.

I was glutened here at the domain location, and this was the second time. I purposely ordered a GF/vegan dish this time hoping to avoid contamination, but no help. I will not return. Those with celiac should stay away!

Have a big gluten free menu and have been here multiple times. I have gotten sick once and all I got was a salad with grilled chicken but they were very busy, I’m also very sensitive. Overall would come again just not during a rush!

Truly the best place ever, I come from NJ and anytime we are near one we will drop everything to come here. Nearly everything on the menu is gluten free including the amazing Mac and cheese and cookies. You don’t even have to ask any questions about cross contamination because they are 100% gf. Staff could not be nicer. 10/10 recommend!

This was my first time ever being here so when I saw they had gf macaroni and cheese, I asked if it was safe! She went back and checked for me and confirmed. Then, after I ordered, I heard them all saying “this next one is a serious allergy!” so I knew they were taking it seriously. I didn’t get sick at all and it tasted AMAZING

Many clearly marked gluten free options. Food is good and made from scratch. Waiters are knowledgable and mark orders with „allergy“. But I cannot really judge the safety measures in the kitchen. For the fries they mentioned to use an oven (not a fryer) and said that it is safe.

This is one of our few go-to takeout places, although you can eat in also. My celiac daughter has never gotten sick. Mostly orders salads with chicken or tofu, bowls, always a side of the gf Mac and Cheese (which is small for the price but good!). We always add 10 mins to our takeout order pickup time.

First time I ordered here, the food came out with an allergy sticker attached which was appreciated. This last time, I shared the steak, mashed potatoes, GF Mac and cheese, and chopped salad. I ordered delivery, and although I specified gluten allergy -celiac, no sticker was placed, and I felt sick within 10 minutes.

I love Flower Child. Their menu is clearly marked and everyone is aware of celiac. I have sampled most of the menu and have never found a meal didn’t like. Lots of flavor! Have been many times and will return often. My celiac children and “normal” wife like it too.

I eat here regularly. I’ve almost always ordered online, I’ll leave a celiac note and my order usually has a note about celiac or made with care and maybe even a smiley face. Staff are always so pleasant when I’ve picked up. I like that things are marked clearly. A couple things have gluten, like the broccoli (bummer), but I’ve never gotten sick. They are always adding things as seasons change, there’s often something new on the menu. The gluten free macaroni and cheese with the salmon and the asparagus is my go to. I also love the gluten free olive oil cake and the cookies!! So good. We order from here for my office and everyone loves the GF olive oil cake (I have to be careful or I won’t end up with any!)

The gluten free mac and cheese was delicious. The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly. The corn and quinoa was surprisingly super good too.

And OMG I have only seen lemon olive oil cakes on the Food Network, but they have one here that is so light and fluffy and delicious!

I have celiac disease and am very reactive to gluten. I had no reaction and felt safe eating here.

I have eaten at a Flower Child several time in Houston, Austin, and Dallas. My recent trip in Houston I found the menu seemed more limited. I was hit by gluten even after clearly identifying my issues at the onset. I this was a cross contamination issue.

Flower child is one of my go-to healthy restaurants! Most important info to know: they have THE BEST GF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!! Do not skip dessert. You order at the register and they bring it to your table but the ambiance is so nice I think you could consider it for a fast casual or a nice sit-down meal. A ton of sides are GF, my favorite being the gluten free Mac n cheese and the chili glazed roasted sweet potatoes. The tofu and chicken protein options are both very bland and the tofu is soft, which is not my preference. I’d recommend going with salmon if you order an entree plate. The drinks are unique and tasty (I’m partial to the rose lemonade), and they offer alcoholic beverages if you’re in the mood for that!
