As a long time customer of True Food Kitchen - for more than 4 years - what initially interested us was the healthy non GMO, Gluten Free menu that does not use unhealthy seed oils (like Canola/Rapeseed Oil) in its food preparation. Since then, True Food has made some slight changes to its menus, including the use of controversial Vital Farms products as well as changes to its gluten friendly pizza dough and hamburger buns, however the one thing that has NOT changed - and is the best part of the restaurant: its employees. Ask for Chantal, Yuyu or Aaron - those are three of the best restaurant professionals you will ever meet! Their can do attitude, combined with their amazing ability to connect with customers is the REAL secret weapon at True Food Kitchen on PostOak. My family can eat at any restaurant in Houston, but we choose to eat at True Food Kitchen on Post Oak because we are always given excellent service and shown kindness when we eat there. Every restaurant should figure out how those three team members work, and copy it exactly - as a customer you leave having had a good meal, and GREAT service. Kindness, always served with a smile - and if there is any problem at all with your order, they are always quick to rectify the situation. You will never sit around with an empty glass of tea if you are being served by Aaron, Chantal or Yuyu. They always put the customer first - which is why, as long as they are working at TrueFood, we will always eat there! Give it a try - and ask to sit in their sections - you will have the best dining experience ever! Thank you Chantal, Yuyu and Aaron!!
Nice place but not the menu for me. If your a healthy food eater who really needs gluten free this is the place. I'm almost 100% sure if you fit the description I just listed this is the place for you.
Great all around. I have celiac and when I told them, they made sure to cook everything very safely without cross contamination. Thank you! Will be back!
The food is delicious and the portions are generous, with plenty of gluten-free options available. However, be prepared for a wait, as there's usually a line and parking can be quite difficult.
We arrived Saturday around noon and didn't have to wait. Food is always fabulous and the staff are friendly and attentive. They have lots of gluten free and vegan options. Love this place!
Really great burger joint, quite a few gluten free options on birger choices with very good shakes. All around I am very satisfied with our experience. I would highly recommend!
Very good food, place and people. My wife has a severe allergy to gluten and took really good care. Kudos to Katy who helped us :)
*I hope I have the correct name for her. Sorry if I'm wrong LoL

OMG!!! Amazing!!
First: make a reservation!! I did and avoided a 2 hour wait.
Second: service is excellent!! Don’t rely on your waiter/waitress, everyone chips in!
Alejandro was our waiter, excellent! Made great recommendations.
I had the Thai ribs and my wife had the salmon. Told a waiter my wife had a gluten issue. He changed her order to include a side of cauliflower instead of the wheat based grain. Everything came out hot and fresh straight from the kitchen to your table. No wait time flavors were amazing. Portions were huge definitely could’ve shared either one of our plates had old fashions to drink mixed perfectly. Had the cheesecake for dessert, light fluffy, no crust or flakes and not a sweet dessert perfect for after dinner Definitely recommend this for a date night or even a family gather.
Black Walnut Café is such a great spot for a casual meal with tons of options! As a celiac girlie, I appreciate that they offer clearly marked gluten-free choices and that the staff is knowledgeable about dietary restrictions. I felt safe eating here, and the food was delicious! Whether you’re grabbing brunch, lunch, or dinner, it’s a solid choice for anyone needing gluten-free options in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Great gluten free options and it is delicious. The prices are a little high and the sides and drinks are on the small side. I paid almost $3 for a bottle of Diet Coke to find out it was a mini one.
Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.
This location was awesome when I told them I had celiac. Everyone switched out their gloves, cleaned the space off. Used a new knife and a sealed gluten-free bun. They took everything very seriously. Also scrubbed the meat slicer. Everyone was so great and supportive.
I was so happy with my Pistachio Pesto Chicken Pasta gluten free, sitting in their relaxing outdoor seating, as the portion was very generous providing for many more servings, and the dish very tasty.
First time dining at Black Walnut Cafe. It was busy (as it was Easter), but there were plenty of seats. This is a “seat yourself” establishment, which is not really clear until until you walk into the restaurant. Once my party walked in, there was plenty of choice seating. The servers were professional and friendly and the food was good. The portion sizes were just right, but the gluten free pancakes were a little dry (even with syrup). The kids gluten free cheese burger and fries were good as was the Mac and cheese and grilled chicken. The experience was pleasant and we will definitely visit again.
Came here for some healthy food options and was pleasantly surprised by the cafe atmosphere and warm wait staff. Joann in particular provided us with excellent service, great conversation and yummy dinner selections. I had the Chicken veggie penne and the hubby had the Turkey burger with mozzarella cheese. We ordered gluten free pizzas to-go and will recco to our neighbors!
I normally don’t make reviews but this is my new favorite place. It’s super clean and everyone is SO nice, like customer service is actually great. We were taking long to order and they were so patient lol. They also have gluten free options that actually taste good. I never realized I lived near by a schlotzkys but this is now going to be my weekly go-to. Highly recommend!!!
What a great place to eat and visit. We had a party of 8 and were taken care of very well. Our waiter, Joshua, was polite and patient with a family group ranging in age from the early 80s to the mid-40s. The food is delicious, and the portions are as large as the menu. Seriously, review the menu before going to get an idea of what you want. They do have a gluten-free menu available as well.
It's loud and boisterous, as a deli should be, with great caricatures and old photos of celebrities on the walls. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly and gracious. I highly recommend a trip to Kenny & Ziggy's for anyone.
This Jersey Mike's location went above and beyond in preparing our gluten-free sandwiches. The bread is stored separately in individual packages and cut with a separate knife. They even made the sandwich in a different area of the store without the additional toppings. I highly recommend this store if you're looking for a delicious gluten-free sandwich.
Postino is such a great place to have happy hour with friends. Their patio is outfitted for the Houston weather, so you can enjoy the ambiance of The Heights year-round. Their wine selection is massive, and the servers always have great suggestions on which ones to get. They also have delicious charcuterie boards and appetizers. The bruschetta is a must, and there are gluten-free bread options for those of us with intolerances! Five stars!
Update:
They changed the restrooms to both be family friendly! Just need a changing table in the 2nd one but I'm sure that's coming. Thank you, Slowpokes!!!
This place and the employees are amazing. There is plenty of gluten friendly food to choose from and the RR has a changing table. I'm basic so I stick to mocha lattes throughout the year otherwise I'll try some seasonal stuff; and those are really good. I love the atmosphere and how child friendly it is.
Made an 8pm reservation and had to wait 40 min for our table. Unacceptable honestly. Food was good and lots of gluten free options, our service was whatever, atmosphere was great!
It may seem like a gimmick but if you want some place to try mead, know that it drinks like a beer but tastes like a wine and this is the place to try something you'll like with some amazing food to boot. They have gluten free wrap and plenty of vegetarian options too so this is an all inclusive place.
I'm love shake shack every time. This one was clean, staff was awesome.. Only downside is you have to pay for parking. I had a gluten free cheese burger, fries and a strawberry milkshake.
Great spot!! Super friendly atmosphere, our server was excellent, we tried exactly what she recommended and loved it! Delicious gluten-free options too. We had the fatoush salad, the bacon cheeseburger on gluten-free bun and the Rice Krispie treat and homemade cookies for dessert. Definitely a highlight of our trip 😃
