They say on their menu that they are an “authentic kitchen that contains flour” and they take no responsibility if someone gets glutened. Honestly - I won’t eat there. I wouldn’t risk it for a child with Celiac Sprue or myself.

Are they still learning a bit about their food, but if ur celiac stay smart. Dedicated frier for fries. And THE WRAP WAS WOOOO. SOOO GOOD. They make a gluten free cookie ice cream sandwich omg. 10/10. I was able to order and try several beers and feel pretty normal.

Food and beer options! Fresh cut fries in dedicated fryer. No GF menu. You can substitute GF bun though on sandwiches & burgers. My burger did have a GF flag when it came out. I was a little concerned that some of the burger toppings, like sauces, could have gluten. Still good experience.

A really nice find for us, a dedicated fryer for fries and gluten-free buns. The staff seemed knowledgeable and helpful. The food was tasty. They have GF beer options too, which is not always a given. There is not a separate GF menu, so you have to ask

I had an amazing experience! The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with confidence! There are many GF drink options: the Pain Killer, grapefruit hard seltzer, all of the ciders, alcoholic smoothies and many of the drinks you can get in a 4 or 6 pack to take home! They have a dedicated fryer for the fries, and have Udi’s GF buns for the burgers and sandwiches. I am celiac and they took that very seriously. I had the Patty Melt with fries and it was DELICIOUS and I did not get sick!

We arrived and I asked at check in about gluten free. They said they heat up a separate pot of oil to make the gf French fries in. Warned us it would take a little longer than usual. We ordered two kids meals - 1 cheeseburger on gf bun with French fries and 1 grilled chicken tenders with gf fries. My boys were very happy with their meals.

I’ve eaten a cheeseburger with gf bun here twice and haven’t gotten sick. Also had gf fries for the first time tonight from a separate gf fryer! Food comes out with a tooth pick designating it as gluten free.
