Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).
Endless food and bottomless mimosas/bloody marys/mixed drinks is a hell of a way to start a weekend. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and there were plenty of options for gluten free eaters.

Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!
My chicken chiabatta sandwich was a bit dry and the food selection was limited, but they did have substantial gluten free options. The setting and staff were very nice, making it an overall excellent experience.
This bakery is vegan and gluten free, and everything I've had from here is absolutely amazing! The people working are always warm and welcoming as well, definitely recommend:) and don't forget to check out the antiques upstairs!
They're pizza is fantastic & they've got the best gluten free crust I've ever had!
The reason they have a perfect score is because they brought us the wrong pizza, but next they not only brought out the correct pizza, but it was also the largest size possible at no extra charge & they comped our drinks!
Thet were extremely apologetic & everything was delicious. It was a long wait, but well worth it.
Molly's is a fun bakery with an industrial atmosphere that makes delicious treats. My wife is Celiac, and their gluten-free wedding cake and cupcakes pleased every guest! They were surprised to know it was gluten-free, and not a single cupcake was left over. To top it off, Molly's gave us a free little cake for our one year anniversary. Thank you, Molly's!
Food was delicious and decently priced, so many gluten free options. Service was quick and simple nice but not always checking up on you but consistent service overall. Kinda nosy but private as well. Definitely would come back as an outastater 👏
I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Treat without Wheat! I had the pleasure of trying their cinnamon sugar donuts, and they were absolutely delicious—soft, flavorful, and perfectly sweet without being too heavy. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free!
What made the experience even more special was the incredible generosity of the owner. Despite the bakery being located in Iowa, she went above and beyond to get the donuts to me all the way in Aruba.
If you’re looking for amazing gluten-free treats made with love, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to try more of their baked goods!
This place ROCKS!! Our server Olivia was great and we really enjoyed the coffee, gluten-free pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and omelettes. The only thing holding this place back from a full 5 stars was the portion size of the orange juice. Orange juice was $5.50, and while I understand that it is fresh-squeezed, the portion size was only about 5 total gulps (I’ll do the math for ya - more than 1 dollar per gulp…) which was disappointing. Don’t get it twisted - we LOVE this place and will totally be back again as we have many times before. Just leaving some constructive criticism as we truly want this place to flourish! Thanks again Olivia!
Crème has been amazing since the new owner came along. I’m gluten free and they always have fun options for us. I stop in a lot to get cupcakes for my own salon clients when I know they’re coming in near their birthday and I always grab cupcakes to take to my veterinary office as a thank you for always getting me in last minute. How can anyone be anything but excited to see you when you come walking in with cats in a carrier and half a dozen cupcakes from Crème in hand?! I love the creative flavors they’re bringing to DSM. Lastly… the thing that made me a super fan (and I’d like to see more of) are the mochi donuts! They are mind blowing! I am obsessed with them! The staff are always kind and helpful, the shop is clean and welcoming. But I really love having Crème around to surprise someone with!
My family and I came to eat here on 6/20 because of the dairy free and gluten free options, necessary accommodations for some of our family members. The vibe was alright; we called ahead and were seated promptly. The outdoor play area was a neat touch. The server was friendly but did forget to place the order for my 2 year old, which was frustrating. It was highly concerning that our food came out so quickly. My husband and I ordered the Fried Bologna Sandwich; it was greasy and gross and I could not eat it. My brother-in-law got The Dunbar, which also had bologna on it. The 3 of us who had some of the bologna ended up with food poisoning. I attempted to notify the restaurant via Facebook messenger and the 3 attempts “couldn’t send”. I sent them a message through their website, and also contacted the health department.
Not a good experience and won’t be back.
Update: they did reply back to my message through their website and refunded us, so I appreciated the customer service aspect to help remedy the situation.
I placed a pickup order at 5:16pm and app said order would be ready at 5:30pm. Arrived at 5:45pm and it took until 5:50pm to get assistance. Teenager at register stated it would take 10 minutes. He then confirmed with cook that 10 minutes was accurate. Cook looked at ticket and said with 2 gluten free sandwiches it would be a while. Grill started to be cleaned at 6:05 pm and order was started at 6:10 pm. Let me point out that while standing there waiting I watched the counter fill up with other pick up orders and people walk in put in their order and receive it while I was there. Someone obviously made a conscious decision not to fill my order in a timely manner because of the gluten free sandwiches. Jasmine attempted to give me a cookie and I refused because of allergies at 6:20pm. At 6:23pm more than an hour after my order was placed I received my order finally. My specific instructions in my order were to write names on the sandwich package and to bag the gluten free separately. Neither instruction was followed. Jasmine gave me 2 coupons for 3 sandwiches and I told her i should receive 3 because our order was due at 5:30pm. She said no and that we could leave and didn't need to return to the store. Not once did she apologize or provide an explanation. I was not happy and yelled going out the door thanks for not saying I'm sorry. I would have been happy with the 2 coupons and an apology. Jasmine lacks the skills to be a manager if she can't apologize to a customer for a decision she probably made. I feel that Jasmine was discriminatory in her actions because of the food allergies and her overall actions. Jersey Mike's as a company has practices in place to accommodate customers with food allergies but this employee seems to have decided to not provide your typical great service becsuse of it.
Their Gluten Free pizza is amazing!!! Went to order it on door dash and it wasn't showing up so I called the restaurant and spoke to Emily and she went above and beyond to get me my gluten free pizza. Second time we've ordered from them and both times its been fantastic!! Even better when the customer Service rocks!!
Amazing! Probably the best dang burger I've ever had... the lil' Elvis and the phenomenal dirt balls were the icing on the cake. Gluten-free bun also available. I'd rate this more than 5 stars if it was possible.
We had a horrible experience with this Jersey Mike's location. We went here due to the reputation for being decently celiac-friendly. My husband and one of my four children cannot have gluten. The staff was rude and hesitant to answer any questions. One staff member just blankly stared at us numerous times. The wait for the gluten-free sandwiches was 20 minutes, versus the regular sandwiches which were almost instantaneous. They prepared the gluten-free sandwiches in a special area, as they had told me. However, they also used that area for the online orders, and the staff member rudely told me she had to clean it up before she could prepare our food. My husband's order was completely incorrect. We ended up getting glutened and it made for a rough trip. Avoid.
THE BEST Southeast Asian restaurant around with the most friendly staff and coolest vibe. We order from lucky lotus at least once a week and it always satisfies! They have so many gluten free and vegan options and everything is delicious. Their spice is legit - I like my food super spicy and a level 3 hits the spot (this would be comparable to a level 4 or 5 at most places to order wisely). I highly recommend the tofu laap, summer rolls, nasi goreng, tofu char sui, nam khao, bing bing wraps, waterfall salad, khao soi, and basically anything that they have on their menu because i promise you it will be delicious and you will be coming back for more in less than a week. BTW Kevin, Z and the rest of the family and team are true gems and pour their hearts and souls into everything they do! So friendly. So amazing!
Went in on a quiet Thursday afternoon and the service and food were top shelf. Ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. Brussels were excellent and the cornbread is actually GLUTEN FREE! Start with the deviled eggs or the street corn dip!
I have been here several times recently for brunch. This place knows what they are doing and they are really good at it: the atmosphere, the decor, the food, the service. The lattes here are the best in the area, hands down. Even the cups and saucers are beautiful and add to my enjoyment of the coffee drinks. I want the exact cups for my own home. The seasonal latte flavors are creative and never overly sweet. I do love a pumpkin spice latte, and St. Kilda has the best. I was interested in a seasonal mocha and was hesitant to order it for fear it would be too sweet, but the server told me more about it so I decided to try it. It was the best mocha I’ve ever had with the perfect balance of flavors and just the right amount of sweetness. Everything that’s a part of the Big Aussie Breakfast is prepared to perfection: thick cut bacon, delicious blistered roasted tomatoes, perfectly crispy house-made bread. Even the gluten-free bread is excellent. Last week my boyfriend got a hashbrown on the side and it was the best hashbrown I’ve ever had - a lovely soft texture on the inside and perfectly crispy all the way around on the outside. The last 3 times I’ve eaten there, we’ve had the same server. I love her! Very friendly, relatable, and a bit quirky in the best possible way. After our last visit, I decided St. Kilda in Valley Junction is my favorite place for brunch.
Delicious food. The staff there are amazing and treat you with so much respect. They also have markers to tell you if something is gluten free or if it is vegetarian, so it really helps out people with specific diets.
My first food stop in Iowa was to take a solo walk to get tacos at Malo. This one was a home run at my first at-bat as a Des Moines rookie. Wow. I timed it just right, and they were placing my bag of food on the table right as I walked in the door. I got the avocado and fried onions on corn tortillas, and instead of getting a combo, I got the portobello mushrooms as my side. That way I was able to just put them on my tacos. I also got a side of fruit with sweet chili sauce. It didn't want to have anything super spicy before my marathon (think about it) so I got the pico de gallo. The tacos were delicious, and the fresh tortillas seemed handmade. The fruit was so juicy and sweet, but the stunner here was the portobello mushroom - like steak strips. Savory and meaty but not too salty... Just amazing. I had enough left over for a second meal. Great vegan and gluten-free options.
Can not say enough good things about our experience at Kava DSM!!! From the AMAZING gluten free/dairy free waffle to the dairy free gelato, to the decor and super kind owner! It was our first time visiting and he went above and beyond to help us understand everything he offered and how it can help me with inflammation! I will definitely be reaching out to his wife also who is a natural health practitioner! I would give them 100 stars if I could! We will definitely be back very soon ❤️
Delicious food options. Had the gluten free steak and mushroom flatbread. It was hold-your-breath-and-close-your-eyes delicious. Brussel sprouts were on point. Deconstructed nachos were amazing. And service was excellent, especially given the unexpected rush at the end of the night.
Fun welcoming ice cream shop. Interior is a comfy café style lounge. Staff is polite, pleasant, and helpful. The walls inside are used as a shrine for adorably cute and mischievous black cats of course. The menu regularly has a couple gluten free or vegan/dairy free options at least it has had the handful of times I've been here. I love all their unique and creative flavor names. Once you taste you'll be on cloud 9, i promise. Highly recommend merely for the variety of delicious flavors alone. Oh and they also have a playful Black Cat patio you can enjoy your treat out on weather permitting.
My daughter and I got some to go dessert and margaritas! The dessert was so fresh and tasty! We are both gluten-free and wanted to try some of their gluten-free dessert! So delicious! We also had a drink while we waited for our food! The mule was absolutely delicious! I believe it was strawberry. Just perfect! I can't wait to go back and have an entree!
The staff accommodated a large group immediately and we had great service from Annie! They have a whole vegan and gluten free menu if you ask for it. The tofu bites are great! Portions are very generous. A great option in the Des Moines area!
Update: Mike Larsen contacted me several times to apologize, get feedback, and to locate the record of the sale. The meal bill was fully refunded. He said he spoke with his people to improve the experience. Everyplace can have an off night. I would give them another chance.
Original review: Poor service, got the order wrong, sandwich was sparsely covered with contents making it mostly stale bread, salad dressing wasn't mixed, salad had wonton stips which are not Gluten-free even though the order was for Gluten-free. Expensive meal we threw away and went elsewhere to eat.

The crew at Grateful Chef are very welcoming and helpful. They offer great made ahead meals you order on Monday and pickup Thurs or Friday's. They offer gluten free, vegan, paleo options regularly. They also have fresh made salads and other goodies to purchase. I have loved all the food I have ordered from here. I have had one problem when the gluten free pasta was mush and the credited back my money for that dish. Highly recommend.
I cannot give more than one star to a place where a waiter (Nick) refused to walk over to us yelling in front of everyone, “What?? I see you!” When we politely waved him towards us saying, “We have a question.” He didn’t budge and said, “And I have an answer. What?” It was embarrassing. I wish I had a video of it.
When we had to answer with enough volume across the seated guests that it was about something we ordered, he finally walked over. He was rude.
We said we ordered sashimi. I never had sashimi served on tempura squash, and since one of our group was gluten sensitive, we said we wouldn’t have ordered it. He master-of-factly declared that EVERYTHING (enunciated) was gluten. Including the seaweed salad, Nick? The roll with virtually nothing but fish and roe, Nick? You are rude.
On the other hand, Josh was pleasant, and he helped make up for the poor behavior. But the damage was done. While we had planned meals, we had had enough and left.
Food sucked you need to pay attention to people that have food allergies all I could buy was a bowl of soup because everything else had bread in it the waitress said they'll take my croutons off guess what that's not gluten-free
The gluten-free pizza was decent. My wife said her burger rocked. It was the Frisco melt, and I had the pasta. It was a penne pasta with a southwest Alfredo sauce, plus chicken and tortilla strips. It was fantastic.
It was a little nosy but this place had an excellent menu and the pricing was good. Their gluten free options were well-labled and they had a good variety.
I have recently went gluten free and dairy free for health reasons. I also have a extreme rice allergy. This place is the golden jackpot. Friendly staff to explain the menu. Very clean environment. Great atmosphere. I ordered the fried tacos and my husband got the sweet corn cakes! The food seriously made me feel normal and I could order really anything off the menu.
