Reviews

Diane Bishop Byars

I had the pleasure of meeting the staff and ordering takeout at Beautiful Rainbow today. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the corn and poblano pepper quesadilla and a sample of the pimento cheese. Everything is fresh and made by the students. It’s a most impressive organization. If you are in and around the Gadsden area, it’s the place to go for lunch.
