Parking was a little tricky but we were so glad to discover this popular BBQ spot. The beef brisket was fantastic!! Gluten free options were available. Kids meals were perfect for the kids. They loved the BBQ and the fries. So very glad we checked it out.
Best gluten free bakery! The chocolate chip cookies are perfection. The brownies are rich and delicious. Everything I have tried from Emily Kate has been great. I’m so glad they are now shipping across the country. Also, the staff is extremely friendly.
The breading was WAY too salty, but very grateful to have a gluten free option! Additionally, the employees were very kind and the establishment was clean.
Okay. I do love caffetteria or at least the idea of it, so I’ll still give them a 4, but this has happened too many times not to share. Every single time I’ve gone here they forget something on whatever dish I’ve ordered. When you charge what they charge, you just can’t forget key ingredients (or any ingredients).
Cobb salad is a $17 salad - it’s marked at $16 but usually not enough dressing so I paid an extra dollar for a tiny little container of extra dressing. They forgot the avocado, arguably a key ingredient. They’ve forgotten bacon in the past. They’ve forgotten egg in the past. They’ve forgotten something on nearly every menu item I’ve tried.
Overpriced. Food is good, not great. Nothing too remarkable for the price point. It’s a cute place, though. Vibes are good. I like the idea of it. There aren’t too many places that are healthy fast casual in the area so it’s nice to have the option, but it’s annoying to have to check every time to see if they remembered the key ingredients.
Green goddess dips and chips - fab.
Hummus - no pita bread available.
Variety of sandwiches - good but nothing special.
Variety of plates - great idea, comes out a little lackluster.
Pb&j toast - ugh it is delicious but ordered this for a toddler, and I had to scoop off a layer bc there were full peanuts layered on the top of it and it was served on a very seed-filled bread - both of which most young toddlers can’t quite handle yet. My bad for not asking for a full description of it.
Breakfast items - pretty good.
Pizzas - delicious.
Bakery - great.
Coffee - pretty amateur. Not great at making lattes or specialized drinks from their menu. And why is a not so great mocha $8?
It’s fine. It’s cute. They forget important ingredients often and charge a lot for pretty standard food. If you need something after you’ve ordered, good luck finding someone to help you. Oh a positive here - if you order a salad chopped it is very perfectly chopped. And decent effort and options for gluten free. I’m sure I’ll be back, and you should go too. Like I said, the vibes are good, the branding is cute, but lots of simple sloppy mistakes made at a price that’s a little too high for what it is.
We love Unforked! Occasionally, it gets busy and it takes a bit longer (5-10min extra) but it’s well worth the wait. I’m gluten free, not celiac, so I appreciate they have corn tortillas and gluten free buns as options.
tl;dr: Jessica -- and the restaurant -- knew how to handle our gluten-free requirements and put us at ease doing so.
A member of the family has late-onset gluten intolerance and we have not been going to restaurants but we heard The Bristol knew about GF cooking. We tried them and our server, Jessica, gave is the GF menu and assured us the kitchen knew how to avoid cross-contamination. She did an excellent job putting us at ease and making appropriate suggestions and explaining what was safe to eat. The food, as always, was excellent, however, what we will remember is how our server helped us understand and exercise our options.
I do not recommend the gluten free crust here. Ordered it today and it's not very good. However- the cauliflower crust is much better of an option. Only rating lower due to Gluten-free crust.
I love the fact that they have a full gluten free menu!! The blueberry gluten free pancake was absolutely amazing. The food came out very hot and delicious. Will definitely be back.
Listen, they do the best impossible burgers ever and their ranch is amazing. But maybe don't try something new...
The deviled eggs: don't make me laugh, might as well have eaten plaster it was so boring. And why 3 halves? Weird.
The drinks: "is this vodka kombucha?" is the exact phrase my bestie used for her vodka cranberry. It was awful. My espresso martini was chunky and sour (yes I know cold brew if not made right can be sour). Considering we already had to order different drinks than our original orders we just drank them.
General food is amazing here, love their gluten free options. They just need to work on the small things that make a meal.
Drove from Kansas City, Mo just to check this place out. I am celiac and loved all the options I had. Got the cauliflower tiki masala and it was delicious. Server asked if I needed GF or celiac safe. Made me feel comfortable eating there. Will definitely be returning soon.
These products are some of the very best gluten free treats I’ve ever had in Lawrence. I’ve been a loyal customer to OO Bakes for several years now, and I’ve truly been impressed with every new thing that I try from them. The cookies, muffins, and brownies are all amazing and you wouldn’t even know they’re gluten/dairy free!
I’ll admit- the products are a little bit on the expensive side (especially compared to normal bakery items), but OO Bakes is worth every penny in my opinion. The bakers clearly put a lot of effort and care into their craft, and everything on display is fresh and portion sizes are excellent.
Located inside of Checkers, near the frozen food section (they used to be in the back corner near the other bakery items). There’s a lot of other good gluten free options in the freezer next to the OO Bakes products.
Thank you OO Bakes for helping me get through my time in college and making a gluten free lifestyle more enjoyable!
Formerly our favorite breakfast place that we have ever been to period. Unfortunately they changed the gluten free pancakes. Now they are thin and not that great. I do appreciate they are celiac friendly
We make a point to visit Shana Cake every time we are in Topeka. My wife is allergic to gluten and, as a result, we have tried various gluten free bakeries and restaurants all over the world. The cupcakes at Shana Cake are my wife's favorite cupcake out of anywhere we have been and all their other treats are excellent as well.
At Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Q having PROPER KC Burnt Ends. Melt in your mouth!!! my sister and I both have a gluten sensitivity so it's good to go to a place that takes it seriously. I loved how they had their gluten-free buns right up front away from everything that could possibly cross contaminate them. Each individually wrapped just so you know. Finding Kansas City burnt ends that aren't fat floating in grease like they are at a certain restaurant in Saint Augustine, well, it can be difficult. You can't call him KC burnt ends if you don't do it right. It was wonderful to have proper melting your mouth not too much fat not too burnt burnt ends. If you know you know.
Haley was our waitress and did a great job. The food was pretty good too. My options were limited because I'm gluten free. Looking forward to trying the GF Souflee.
First, they have a pretty solid gluten free crust that even the nonGF people in my family enjoy.
Second, their service is fast! In a Sunday night our to go order was ready in 10 minutes when they had almost a full restaurant.
Third, they have a rewards program. Who doesn’t love free food? Not me, love me some free food.
Only downside, the GF crust doesn’t absorb grease real well. Had some pizza grease all over my hands while eating, but that’s part of the experience I guess.
From start to finish- this restaurant, this food, this experience was a whole vibe! Highly recommend! We were welcomed with an open door from the manager, greeted by a LOVELY smile from a lady named Ms. G. She was welcoming, dressed like she loved her job and greeted and knew regulars names! Our server was no less miraculous! Kait was welcoming, asked us if we had ever been here. She was thrilled to recommend all the best things for our first time experience. Bonus- she gave us a sampling if the biscuits and gravy since it was our first time! AND not ONLY that- she was cautious and asked us if we had any allergies she needed to be aware of before submitting our order! STELLAR SERVICE!
The bathroom had an incredibly meaningful wishing wall. Go check it out! Spreading positivity!
The food- holy macaroni! We got the stuffed french toast and streusel blueberry pancakes. Highly highly recommend both! They make gluten free pancakes which were fluffy and tasty and you'd never know!
The other manager was dressed incredible- suit jacket, shirt and a welcoming smile! Thanked everyone for coming.
Everyone seemingly truly loved the job. Kait seemed to know all the regulars and was so grateful to see all the families talkjng yo all yhe kids and engaging with them all! I would come back for the service ALONE .....and the food being incredible would be a BONUS! 🙂
A MUST VISIT LOCATION!
Been here about fifteen times over the course of the last three years, easily the best sushi place in the KC area. They have plenty of great gluten free options as well, which is perfect because my fiancé has celiac. Very fresh and delicious food.
Always delicious food and super helpful staff! We love Hawaiian bros! We mostly love that there are many gluten free options for my husband who has food sensitivity issues!
This place is hands down one of my favorite spots in Lawrence, KS. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and overall service is always fantastic. They offer gluten free, smoothies, a fun side menus for the season, pastries, and even more. The atmosphere is a great place to get work done, studying, or even a catch up with friends!
As a Functional Nutritionist I can’t express how wonderful it is to know there’s a place where myself and clients can still enjoy time out with friends and family while not compromising our nutrition goals. No seed oils and so many gluten and vegan options! And the food was amazing!
The crepes weren’t half bad, but the service we received wasn’t good, and the price was a little high. I have celiacs disease, and I told the woman up front before I ordered. When I got my order, it wasn’t made in a way that caters to celiacs. They didn’t do a glove change or make any adjustments to avoid cross contamination.
My sister has Celiac Disease, we talked to our sweet waitress and ordered only gluten free food. The cooks or kitchen staff didn't pay any head to our order. They put fried chicken and coated bacon on my sister's gluten free bun and then took most of it off and replaced it with what she had ordered. Now she is sick and will be sick for probably the next week. If you have dietary restrictions, I suggest you don't risk your health here. The front house staff is really sweet and if you don't have dietary restrictions, the food is good.
The food was great and reasonably priced. There was a large gluten-free menu to choose from, and the servers were well versed in understanding a gluten free diet. Can't wait to go back!
Hake was an absolutely fabulous waiter. He completely understood the severe gluten allergy I have and was the first person ever to only bring one plate for my husband’s jalapeño cornbread. He gets it and I was absolutely amazed and impressed. Kudos friend.
I love pie five and was quite saddened when they started closing up all over the country. But after finding this one into Topeka, I am thrilled! Very nice and polite workers, great gluten-free pizza handled appropriately, clean atmosphere to sit at with my kids while they watched cartoons on the TV and ate awesome pizza. Fantastic. I wish that I lived closer!
Surprisingly great lunch specials under $15! With fantastic service and a very nice restaurant. I will happily return my tacos were fantastic and my friend loved her salmon and green beans. Ps yes get the gluten free brownie!
I was diagnosed with Celiacs last year and they are so knowledgeable about what dishes can/cannot be made gluten free. I’ve never had gluten cross contamination and this is pretty much the only place I get food from now that I don’t have to worry about. Despite that, this has been my favorite Thai restaurant I’ve ever eaten at!
We came and got two apps, two pasta dishes (ONE GLUTEN FREE), a couple drinks. Everything was super good and the service was great. Carson was amazing behind the bar. Cute atmosphere and they offer a military discount.
Parking is a nightmare! Tell on your website where people can park…please! I would like to eat here, but parking was nuts. I like that you have gluten free options. I’ll change my review if you can give us parking options.
