Can not attest to cross contamination or cooking areas, but they do offer gluten free and cauliflower crust for pizza. Other gluten free options appear very limited. The person we spoke to said no options for fluten free. I discovered options were available after we left. The place was super cute and laid back for a baby shower. Everyone else raved about the food.

My friend and I were visiting for 1 night only in Chicago and stopped here for breakfast. The server we got was AMAZING. Super personable and upbeat! Our waters never got low, trash was never on the table for long, we were checked on often, and we had everything we needed! They also offered gluten free pancakes which were AMAZING!!! I loved them. They were light/easy on the stomach and tasted like regular pancakes. Next time I find myself in Chicago, I will be sure to come back. Please don’t miss an opportunity to dine here! 10/10 y’all are perfect and we love you❤️

Friendly staff, but a small (and generic) brunch order for a celiac party took 2 full hours. Safe food, but the wait was too much. Do not recommend blintzes unless you appreciate taking shots of vanilla extract (overwhelming in the filling).

Burgars are frozen Walmart burgars .. very thin and dry.. up charge for a gluten free bun 1.79$ plus 13$ sandwich was not worth it.. fries were partly raw.. covid killed this buisness.. was not worth 37$ for some burgars that were clearly not from Red Robin’s I’d share my picture but don’t know how too..

I'm very allergic to gluten. I can't find many places to eat around in dekalb. Jerseys mikes offers a healthy and safe gluten free sub that is very good and a fair price. If you have a gluten allergy or Celiac I highly recommend!!!

My first experience with this wonderful shop today - - warning, the flavors can be addicting! As I savored the Blue Bowl, I believe, I found myself wondering how to get to Normal and still manage work/travel requirements in Central IL. The bowl was so balanced in flavors and refreshing with fresh, sweet strawberries and acai. Amber is a delight, store manager, and very knowledgeable and engaged in growing her knowledge of nutrition and proper management of food prep necessary in addressing allergy concerns. I have gluten and soy sensitivities and I know I was in the best of hands through Amber's expertise and the menu, as constructed. Everyone in the area should look forward to the store's planned food truck, rolling sometime in March 2025! Thank you, Amber, for my being able to enjoy, such a delight, worry-free.

My partner (who is celiac) and I used to go to our local Red Robin all the time, then some changes were made to the kitchen and management and they were no longer willing or able to accommodate her dietary needs. We had gift cards to Red Robin still and were bored on a Saturday night, and decided to utilize the gift cards for some drinks. Ended up driving 45 mins for a Saturday night cruise to this Red Robin location where we started talking to the Manager John. Turns out John was very knowledgeable about Celiac (his friend's father is celiac) and informed us of their procedure and their kitchen setup. We proceeded to dine in and enjoy some food along with our drinks. Needless to say, my Partner was overjoyed to find out that we are now able to enjoy the wonderous place that is Red Robin again! YUMMMMM

I had the pleasure of coming and trying a bowl with my family and friends. Who knew that something that tastes SO amazing, could be healthy! Even my extremely picky 9-year old can not WAIT to go back. I can't tolerate gluten so having a healthy option that isn't full of preservatives or sugar to compensate for the lack of gluten is AMAZING! The owner and her staff are amazing and the shop is beautiful. Don't forget to check out the selfie wall! I have a feeling I know where my wallet will be going to!
