nice gluten free pancakes and enjoyed the other items as well.

Gluten free and they have a separate fryer for their sweet potato fries that’s gluten-free

We loved coming here and eating here until today. Was told the gluten free bun had no egg, after the cashier went to the back and checked. Took it home, ate half of it, got a stomach ache, and then called to find out that the buns actually had egg whites. The response I got was that they had just switched over to using new buns, and the old ones didn’t have egg in it. All I was told after that was “my apologies” and the phone hung up. Allergies are clearly not taken seriously.

I was told the food and shakes are terrific! Meh. Service was great, but I wasn't impressed by the burgers, and the fries are not recommended. Pricey for the quality. They offer a gluten-free (GF) bun, which is one reason for our visit, but it's a big, dry bun that I can't recommend. We live nearby, but probably won't frequent this place.

If you like good nutritious food you will be happy here. Many gluten free dishes as well.

Every time I go to Urban Plates I leave extremely satisfied with the food and the service! Delicious healthy food and I soooo appreciate that they label their menu items (gluten free, vegan , etc. for us people who cannot eat certain things). The beet salad with salmon is my favorite!

I had no idea this restaurant existed in Carlsbad and it was really great. It has a small Historical Museum focused on Boston that was fun to walk through. The best for me was they had gluten-free items on their menu, I had Shepherd's Pie which is normally off limits for me because of the gravy but theirs is gluten free and delicious.

Delicious Gluten-free Burger and Truffle fries

Went for dinner and this place was hoppin'. The wait without a reservation is very long, so try to get one. Otherwise, plan to maneuver your way into the open bar seating, which is what we thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant concept is fun and well carried throughout. The food and drinks were awesome and there are plenty of gluten free options. The staff was very helpful to guide us through the menu to avoid any gluten issues.

It was our first time eating here and we sat at the bar. There was a graduation party going on and live music inside. The music was good, but a little loud inside for how small the restaurant was. It took forever for us to be greeted or asked for drinks at the bar. They weren’t busy either. We waited a good 15 minutes before we ordered our drinks. We knew what we wanted to eat by that time, so we ordered food as well. When our food finally came out, my order was wrong. I have a gluten sensitivity and ordered GF pasta. The pasta came out and I knew right away it wasn’t GF. It took a few minutes to get the bartenders attention. I ended up grabbing someone else to ask for them to fix my order. It came out and my husband was halfway done with his meal at that point. The food was good, tho. We asked for our check and weren’t even compensated for the wrong meal. Can’t say I was impressed with the service. Not sure if we will be back.

Done the Yard House three times as a family get together, dealing with vegans, soy intolerants, gluten-frees, low carbs, you name it. They have an expansive enough food (and alcohol) menu to satisfy just about anybody. The low carb guy gets the jambalaya but has them put it on a bed of spinach instead of on noodles or rice; they do substitutions within reason. The fussy drinker got something where they happily substituted mescal for whatever the primary liquor was. The soy intolerant gets the ahi sandwich with a gluten-free bun and the sauce on the side. I don't care what the vegan gets, haha.

Fantastic gluten-free burger! Juicy, pink throughout, and perfectly seasoned to boot! Will definitely be back!

Gregorio's is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the cozy Italian villa ambiance set the perfect tone for a memorable evening. We visited on a Saturday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately! The handmade pizzas were a hit at our table — absolutely delicious — and the gluten-free pasta was hands down one of the best I've ever had. My husband loved the gnocchi. Everyone was raving about their meals! Our server was an absolute queen — charismatic, attentive, and made our night so much fun. She truly elevated the whole experience. The wine selection was fantastic as well, perfectly complementing the flavorful dishes. If you're craving authentic Italian cuisine with great vibes and exceptional service, Gregorio's is the place to go! Can't wait to return.

We would love to eat here, but the food is so exotic. Would it be possible to add a couple simple things to the menu for those with food allergies? Like one item that’s dairy, free and gluten-free. Maybe you could add your chicken item that was at your Mexican restaurant. Or your chicken soup. Miss both of these so much. Thank you ! Laura Danon
