Ordered burger, no bun. No gluten free bread substitute. Had salad in place of fries since fries are cooked in oil with gluten products. The brussel sprouts are flash cooked in oil and not an option because of cross contamination. Limited options for gluten free. The staff was very clear about what was a risk.

Staff not knowledgeable and menu is incredibly small with hardly any options. Thought I could have the cauliflower as I was told by the menu/waiter that they can use rice flour. Welp, it’s made in same fryer so what’s the point!

I have been here twice, nether time being sick. Their menu changes between seasons. I like their spring/summer menu (have more options). But they said they do not guarantee preventing cross contamination. They do not have a dedicated fryer. I do not know about their alcohol drinks.

After thinking it was a fluke last time I went and got glutened I tried again and this time the severity of my reaction indicates that the laab lettuce wraps I ordered were full of gluten despite being marked (as another user has pointed out as well). Last time I was glutened after having the GF marked buffalo cauliflower. I won't be going back for food ever and wouldn't trust a thing on their menu to not be heavily cross contaminated at a minimum.

Have many items marked GF but they are not safe for a Celiac!!! Most of the staff had no understanding of the disease & after questioning the manager there really was only 1 item that could be prepared GF with a risk of contamination!! Steer clear of this place if you have Celiac disease.

Big fan of the chicken tacos. Fries are not gluten free, either are the lettuce wraps, yes I know they are labeled GF. Always tell them you are gluten free before ordering as some of the things labeled are not true to the label.
