Not gluten friendly, don't believe the hype!

2 Posted on 01 / 14 / 2013

Two sandwiches served to me and I was sworn up and down that it was gluten free. I happily ate them only to get sick later. I blamed another restaurant, in which I have apologized too. I found out it had gluten when I went to order it a third time. I was told it had soy sauce which has wheat. I can get so sick from wheat as to have a seizure. I was so sick once I almost had one. If you are a restaurant that claim to be gluten friendly you should make sure your staff is trained on what is and what is not gluten free. I have found two friends that have gotten sick that also have a gluten allergy. It would be wise to take away the gluten friendly advertisement or train your staff way better. If you don't it is a good way to get a lawsuit.

Pros: Fresh produce
Cons: Staff unsafe, hair in food, gluten allergy people getting sick

flaming ice cube is a decent vegan place. they have a choice few really great items on their menu, but most of the dishes are really repetitive. the people that work there are very nice and knowledgeable of the menu. however, don't go there in a rush. most of the time there is spent waiting. their desserts are to die for, unless you're under a time constraint.

Great find in depressed Youngstown area

I have to say that I was quite impressed with finding a place like this in such a depressed area as Youngstown (Boardman). The food was great, and the help quite friendly. Every town needs a restaurant like this one.

Pros: Vegan!!!
Cons: None

Pretty Good

Well, we thought it was good but not perfect. i did like the very thick veggie burgers but i suspect that they are made of TVP which is not that good for you. Also the burger rolls are kind of like commercial rolls possibly made with wheat flour which i don't believe is good for you. i feel they can improve on the rolls to make them more natural tasting instead of commercial tasting. But maybe because of the area they are trying to make them commercial-tasting. i got the Asian Wrap that someone on here said was their favorite but i thought it was just ok. Also the Peanut Butter/Choc. cake could have been tastier, as well as the hot chocolate. Even still, when i am travelling thru Ohio again i would stop there because it's the only vegetarian restaurant around, it seems. It's good enough but could be better. They also ought to make everything gluten-free. The atmosphere is nice.

Pros: Atmosphere, Prices., They are trying.
Cons: Could taste better., Could use healthier ingredients., Serve Gluten rolls and cakes.

I went to the Flaming Ice Cube yesterday for the first time and i am beyond impressed! The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! The house salad is divine. The desserts are to yummy and we got smoothies to go and it was like summer in a cup. I also love the store right next to it, their are all kinds of odds and ends for sale. I would definatly reccomend this place to anyone who loves good food, wants a good atmosphere and wants to keep money in their pocket! (everything is well priced!)

Pros: great food, well priced, cool store

This is the best and apparently the only vegan restaurant in the Boardman area. It's got a good sized menu with plenty of delicious offerings and friendly staff.

Nice alternative to chain restaurants

The Flaming Ice Cube is a nice place to get salads, wraps, soups and more, plus a selection of teas and juices. My personal favorite is the Asian veggie wrap, served with the side of the day and some delicious plum sauce. Many selections are made fresh, and some are commercial vegetarian foods. The primary drawback for me would be the amount of sodium found in the commercial products.

Pros: Food quality, Inexpensive, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Sodium content
