Quirky vibes with trendy decor, plus mini golf and an arcade make this spot a fun hangout for a lively experience!
This place is super cute! The decor was really nice and trendy, like an upscale diner. Plus they had a few mini golf holes and an arcade room. The food was very yummy. The gluten free pancakes were delicious and super fluffy. I ordered the short stack which was huge! The omelet was chock full of veggies. The real star of the meal was the Sweet Trio!! Sadly it wasn't gluten free but my husband sure enjoyed it, and it smelled amazing!

Fresh, made to order pizzas. They also have quick by the slice pre made pizzas they heat up for you. I had the calzone. They also offer 2 gluten free pizza crusts if that's your thing.
Islands Restaurant Carmel Mountain

This spot is a local gem with a diverse menu, tasty options, and quick service, perfect for a lively lunch break in San Diego.
The hamburgers were so tasty and yummy. I lived that there is a Gluten-free bun option and other upgrades to your sides. Like onion rings and sweet potatoes fries vs reg fries. They offer bottom less drinks and also a diverse menu from salads to ta os as well. 5 min wait came during lunch hour on a Thrusday so not bad at all.
