They are careful with allergies and have lots of gluten free options or can accommodate for changes.

I liked the, but my wife and inlaws didn't. Their gluten free options are great. They had a special menu, and clearly took it seriously. Unfortunately ,from what I heard their thicker patties and buns leave something to be desired. My big suggestion? Put prices on the gluten free meny. As an aside, I loved how they had rodeo riding on tv. I have only lived in liberal states, so it was a treat to see a media product entirely packaged for a conservative audience. The aesthetic was definitely different and enjoyable to watch. For example, there was a prayer section with a close-up of a rider's impassioned face, and the pledge of allegiance got way more fanfare. That kind of cross cultural education is great.

The atmosphere was nice, service was friendly. We began our visit at an event on the patio where appetizers were served on trays. Later we went inside and ordered food. Most of the items are gluten free

Hands-down, this is one of my favorite sushi places in Orange County! Our server Nubia Is an absolute doll and always gives the best recommendations. I also have celiac so she always make sure I’m taking care of and gives me a lot of really great gluten-free options. Every time I come here and get whatever she recommends, I always leave feeling super satisfied and satiated. My favorites are the crispy rice with avocado, crispy rice with Wagyu, Ribeye and asparagus appetizer and I love a modified Philadelphia roll with baked salmon—oh and their chicken fried rice is phenomenal. Thank you Nubia for always such a great experience! :)

Gluten free options. Very helpful lady on the register who understood dietary restrictions. A bit of a wait to get my order during the lunchtime rush.

JOEY has been a favorite since it opened - always amazing food (celiac-friendly), drinks, service, and ambiance. We've enjoyed several impressive meals + nights there and decided to host our wedding dinner for 100 on the patio! It was a seamless process and turned out even better than we could have imagined. Guests cannot stop talking about how amazing the food and service was. Thank you to the whole team -- Madison (superstar event manager) and servers Sarah P, Tiffany, Chasta, Elizabeth, and Jordan M. The team went above and beyond for a beautiful setup, attentive service, and an awesome experience for our guests. We appreciate you all and highly recommend for your next meal or event!

Had a wonderful gluten free lunch. The food was delicious. We had an artichoke for an appetizer then, filet mignon with spaghetti squash, trout with Swiss chard and roast chicken with wild rice. Everything was delicious. The wait staff was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable on how to keep me safe. You can tell they were well trained on how to deal with food allergies. Will definitely be going back.

So many delicious gluten free options to choose from!! The owner/chef is very friendly and knows her menu inside out. One of the few places in OC at which I can not only safely eat, but also truly enjoy the food! Easily my favorite spot to eat at Fashion island.

DEFACTO GLUTEN FREE CAFE in Newport Beach! So, I've had celiac for a few years now. I love documenting my favorite places that don't put my intestines into a coma. This place is so legit. The quality is just as the namesake goes; SCRATCH. The manager Tyler is super amazing. Always helping out and ensuring a wonderful environment for every guest here. I feel welcomed as a family member here. They cater to allergies very seriously. That's what the world needs right now, and I'm all here for it. They made me a gluten free burger using gluten free sandwich bread. That's not even on the menu! That's how you know they care. Time to go taste test this beauty. Might edit to update on the flavor, but I've already had the pastries so I know it'll be delicious haha.

Just visited on their soft opening. Service was impecable. Lots of options to order via app, kiosk, or with a Sweetgreen team member. Their “Infinite Kitchen” automates your food prep. You always get exactly what you ordered, exactly the same amounts, and there’s super low risk of cross contamination. The automated assembly is also insanely fast. I watched my bowl being made and brought to me in under 3 minutes. Plenty of gluten free, paleo, keto, dairy free, and grain free options. The Salmon and both chicken options are tasty.
