Both my child and I were able to eat here safely and work no problem. Tasty, too: had the Burbon Street chicken and riblets.

Informed the waitress I had celiac and if they could please try to keep my food away from wheat / gluten / cross contamination. Didn’t seem to care, didn’t reassure me they’d try. I did have a reaction to the food.

They have an allergen menu I ordered a gluten and soy free chicken salad, because the steaks have soy, but waitress gave me the wrong thing. So the manager came right out and cleared up the confusion right away. The meal I ordered was good. There aren't too many gluten and soy free options on the menu so as long as you are fine with limited options, you'll be happy.
Yes

Absolutely awful. Zero awareness of a gluten free menu. Atrocious "food".
Waitstaff was not extremely knowledgable in gf, but very friendly and willing to accommodate. Apologized because the side normally served with my chosen meal is not gf and cheerfully substituted with one I could have. Gf menu/allergen list had several options. (List is available online, but they will print one off for you so you can be sure it's the most recent one). Kitchen staff and managers are very careful when any allergy order comes in. Food was good as always.
06/15/14 ETA: I ate here the other night and the server seemed very aware of gf and it was no problem at all. Excellent service and food.
DONT EAT HERE
Had a terrible experience, menu items are marked “gluten sensitive” however staff don’t know anything about the ingredients. I was advised to check the website for the Ingredients and they couldn’t tell me what was in it as to not assume liability for someone misreading the menu and having a reaction. Just generally would not go here and wouldn’t recommend to anyone who’s worried about cross contamination. They don’t seem to care when it comes to allergies

I have eaten here before but I wouldn't exactly call it a wise dining choice for someone with Celiac If they want to feel well afterwards. Proceed with caution.

My husband and I here quite a bit when we both had a long day. Have a decent selection of gluten-free items. Never had any issues eating here. Staff is really great. Like I said we eat here quite a bit.

They have gf options BUT I believe they are called gluten-sensitive. The waitress made sure to mention that to me before I ordered a they are not dedicated gf. She said she had to tell me for legal reasons. I got the fish and fries. I was cautious but didn't get sick thankfully. However, I also haven't been back since then bc I just didn't want the risk. Sick is miserable.

I have celiac and tried ordering off the menu of items that were listed Gluten Sensitive. I told the waitress that I have a celiac and to make sure my food wasn’t cross contaminated. I knew right after my meal that it was cross contaminated. Also I ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and told the bartender that I have a gluten allergy so no croutons but gave me a bread stick. Like I was only able to eat half my salad since the other side had the bread stick
