I have to eat gluten Free . So I ordered a gluten free pizza with chicken and peppers. And the pizza had little to no flavor because they didn't add any spices to it. And it was difficult to cut the pizza .
It’s a nice family Resturant. There are not a lot of gluten free options. The overall taste of the food was ok. The portions are very large. The bathrooms were clean. The service staff were nice and accommodating.
You'll wait a minute but the food is amazing and fresh. Love the variety of vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options. My absolute favorite hidden gem. We always get 3 orders of guacamole, one for each of us at the table and one for home.
I organized the breakfast and lunch menus for a conference of more than 125 participants, with many different dietary restrictions. I never felt challenged as Tom and his team found solutions for all my needs. Everyone was fed with no one having to "bring" their own lunch. I received many compliments and could only say it was all due to the cooperation of The Great American Bagel team on Essington Road in Joliet. Tom personally worked with me to alter menu items to accommodate all the dietary issues. Everything looked yummy and no one felt awkward.
DON'T COUNT THEM OUT BECAUSE THEIR MAIN FARE IS BAGELS! They made amazing salads and fruit dishes. Just some of what they had to adjust for: Gluten free, Dairy free, No Peanuts, Vegans, and Vegetarians. Their Vegie Sandwiches and Wraps are marvelous.
The attention to detail and pleasant manner of the staff are rare in this "fast food" business.
TRY THEM. You'll stop torturing yourself trying to find delicious items at a great price.
