Symptomatic Celiac

Overall Rating

Review


WOW you need to go here. Food was exceptional and our server knew all about celiac. The first thing they said when I asked about their system was “you’re safe here”. They talked me through the process and pointed out to me the few menu items that they couldn’t do gluten free and said anything else they could. You can even eat fries here! Omg I am coming back, did I mention it’s delicious? Best experience I’ve had as a Celiac this far :)

Wow! I haven’t had a meatball sandwich or lemon bar like this in years! I can’t believe I found this gem tucked away in a strip mall over by the dollar store. I am so happy that they make their meatballs fresh along with many other things including the large lemon bars and large brownies! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and their procedures on preventing CC. Highly recommend.

Delicious food, the woman who took my order gave me a run down of their procedures to keep food from getting contaminated (I.e. new gloves, new cutting boards, desperate preparation). She was very helpful. I felt great after eating the food! Highly recommend. Also there are zero glutenous foods fried in the fryer so the fries are good to eat!

I used to eat here all the time and was very confident in the handling of my food. Unfortunately something changed and I have had reactions enough times that I stopped going. I recently purchased a Nima, so I thought I'd give it another try tonight, but unfortunately my Nima detected gluten. So sad to cross them off my very small list of places I can eat.

Been there twice. And had reaction. I quiz the staff they seem confident that food is gf but somewhere along the way someone wasnt carefull enough. I had the tritip salad was thinking maybe the sause or salad topings like glazed nuts etc.. Also the MFT bbq sause they use has also caused me gluten reactions on other unrelated occasions.
