Flower Child

I love Flower Child! I used to live right next to one on Lovers and it was really great. Most of their menu is gluten free too. This location is kind of iffy. The food was very subpar at this location and the staff were really negative. It was cold and overcooked. My food was all gluten free and I had no reaction, so I’m thankful for that. I got the chicken, broccoli (with no bread crumbs), and the gluten free Mac and cheese. I get this same order every time I go to Flower Child, so I know it was just a location thing. I strongly recommend this place if you’re gluten free because it’s safe and delicious, but I will definitely be using the extra gas to go to another location.

I always eat at Flower child and have gone to several locations and never have had an issue until this location... I am guessing it was cross contamination

I have eaten at a Flower Child several time in Houston, Austin, and Dallas. My recent trip in Houston I found the menu seemed more limited. I was hit by gluten even after clearly identifying my issues at the onset. I this was a cross contamination issue.

I have celiac disease and it was great! Just tell them you have an allergy and you’ll be fine. Most things on the menu are gluten free anyways, so I doubt cross contamination will bother anyone here!

Ordered through DoorDash. I called into the restaurant to double-check what their gluten-free procedures were and let them know that I had a gluten intolerance. The hostess assured me that she would notify the chef of my gluten intolerance and that they took high precautions around cross-contamination. Menu clearly marks which items are gluten free and which are not, and the majority of items on the menu are gf. The food came delivered hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Ordered the steak bowl with gf mac 'n' cheese with cracked cauliflower.

They have delicious kombucha on tap. The atmosphere is very nice and you can see the vast majority of the kitchen. You can tell they use fresh ingredients! I had their gluten-free Mac n cheese, curry cauliflower, and sweet potatoes and it was all delicious! We also tried the Madras Yellow Curry and it was good too. We added salmon and chicken and both were cooked PERFECTLY! We were really impressed!

I told the counter person I had celiac and ordered a dish that she assured me was safe. I ate several bites before I realized it was dusted with breadcrumbs! I was horrified and complained. The same woman who'd taken my order didn't at all seem to understand what I was saying or why i was upset The manager was kind and apologetic, but I realized the staff was not trained or aware, despite the gf options on the menu.

I eat here ALL the time and never ever get sick! I always ask them to mark down gluten allergy on the order and I feel safe enough to make an online order and just add “GLUTEN ALLERGY” in the notes and I’ve never had a problem! I always get the forbidden rice bowl with steak. I also have had their desserts (pudding, cookie, muffin) and never have any problems.
