Flower Child

I love this place! The staff is super knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have. They do great with allergies and most items on the menu are gluten free. I’ve ordered several things from here including Mac & cheese and enchiladas, and everything is always fresh and delicious! They also have some of the BEST chocolate chip cookies that I’ve ever eaten before (even before I was diagnosed with celiac). You definitely don’t want to miss this place.

What a great find! There are healthy and not so healthy GF choices. I got the chicken, red chili sweet potatoes and the bowl of fruit. All 3 were very tasty. The chicken was tender, the fruit very fresh and those sweet taters…whoa mama! I will definitely be back. The GF chicken enchiladas looked delightful. I had to turn away because they started calling my name. That’s what I will try next. Gluten free items are marked on the menu and if you tell the person taking the order how serious your gluten reaction is everyone on the line will change gloves.

The GF max and cheese is excellent! My 8 y/o was diagnosed with celiac 6 weeks ago. This is the first time he has eaten Mac and cheese while out. When we told the waitress he had celiac she marked it as a gluten allergy. It’s nice to be able to eat out and feel safe about it.

This is the first place outside of the home my daughter has been able to have Mac and cheese so that was an added plus! We loved our entrees- grilled chicken, potatoes fruit for me; chicken, Mac and cheese fruit for the kids and enchiladas for my husband. So happy we finally got to try this place. Their lemon cake and chocolate chip cookie were very good too

The online menu is clearly labeled with what’s gluten-free. The salmon is delicious, and my son liked the steak. I loved the sweet potatoes. My son enjoyed the smashed potatoes. We had heard great things about the gluten-free mac & cheese, but neither of us loved it.

At the counter, they had gluten-free lemon cupcakes and gluten-free cookies available. They looked good, but we didn’t get any.

We LOVED our meals here! Our toddler was pleased with her kid’s meal, I had a fully vegan meal, and my husband had a full gluten free meal. We even had gluten free and vegan desserts! There were so many options on the menu! We will definitely stop here again when in Oklahoma City!

This place is incredible and her new favorite. We’ve been here three times already since we found it. Gluten-free is clearly marked and they have lots of options. Staff is very attentive and seems to understand what needs to happen. 10/10

Gluten free mac was delicious! Very good about asking about allergies & making sure there is no cross contamination. I had no reaction.

Neat place. Lots of gf options. Menu was clearly marked and waitstaff knowledgeable. I split the enchiladas (very good) and Peruvian chicken ( just ok). Mango green tea was delicious. Definitely will return. A bit pricey.

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.

DO NOT EAT HERE! I know there may be positive reviews, but trust me, it’s not worth the risk. There’s other places in Wildwood that you can get food from. I ordered the “gluten free” Mac n cheese from Flower Child and within 2 hours was nonstop vomiting so severely that I was hospitalized for a night. This was one of the worst reactions of my whole life, and I have no idea how it happened since their Mac n cheese is allegedly supposed to be gluten free, with no non-gf version available. If you have Celiac, DO NOT EAT AT FLOWER CHILD, don’t ruin your day/week by getting glutened here!

I ate lunch here this past weekend and had a wonderful experience! I’m highly symptomatic and was just fine after eating here. There is potential for cross contamination, but all the staff seemed very well informed and knew exactly what to do. I feel that this is one of the safest restaurants for me in Houston.
