As a newly diagnosed Celiac, I have been afraid to go out and eat at unfamiliar places in regards to cross-contamination. When I told my server I am Celiac, he told me they cook everything separately and would make sure to accommodate for me. Also, when ordering my salad, I forgot to ask for no croutons and he responded with “okay, and I will make sure to take the croutons off for you, too.” It was amazing, and I’m super happy I found a go-to I know I can trust!

Every time I go here I get sick. I keep trying it hoping they'll figure it out. They are all clueless.

A pretty bad experience! I will not set foot inside one of your restaurants again. It is very difficult for me to eat out because of my celiac disease. When I find a restaurant that already has a gluten free menu, I expect the wait staff and kitchen to understand what that means!

My waiter was nice enough and did note the my order should be gluten free. HOWEVER, the kitchen plopped fried onion rings on top of my dish.(Balsamic chicken breast on field greens, no potatoes or onion rings. A different server brought the dish to my table. I pointed out the problem and he didn't know what I was a talking about. He took the plate away and said he'd find my wait person. We had already waited beyond a reasonable amount of time for our orders (3 of us). Now I had to wait about 10 minutes for the wait person to come back to the table so I could explain the problem. He said he'd get a new plate right away. It took another 15 minutes. My friends accompanying me were done with their meal by now and I wasn't served yet. Finally the meal comes. I started to cut the chicken breast and could not cut through. It was very tough and dry. It needed a steak knife. I tasted it anyway. It was horrible!!! Dry, tough, extremely salty and tasted very bad. Obviously NOT fresh chicken. Or they microwaved it to death. I couldn't eat it. I had the waiter remove the item from the check. Paid the bill for my friends meal. I left starving.

Absolutely horrible and demeaning experience.

They have a special GF menu with lots of options. My son had the GF BQ pizza and liked it a lot. He’s very sensitive and didn’t have any issues. If you have room the GF pizza cookie w ice cream is crazy good!! I used open table to make my reservation.

Picked up GF take-out pizza. Tiny & expensive, did not love the flavor. Disappointing service.
