Ordered GF bun for my burger & was told they had GF fries…. Not sure if the fries got put in the same fryer as non-GF (other reviews said dedicated GF fryer) but there was definite cross-contamination of some sort

I’ve been here several times but have had a few negative experiences. I’ve had them bring my burger on a regular bun and when I asked them to fix it they moved over the meat patty to the gf bun. I could tell because the patty still had the bite out of it that I had taken. This past week I ordered a salad off the gf menu. I was sure to ask them to make sure there were no croutons and told the server I had a gluten allergy. She said she would let the kitchen know about the allergy. The salad came out with croutons. I sent it back. The second salad also came out with croutons. I sent that back as well. They finally got it right on the 3rd try, but I’ve had brain fog, abdominal pain, and a migraine since. It’s not worth going back for me.

Food tastes good, server seemed to understand gluten “allergy”, had a gluten free menu. But my celiac daughter definitely got gluten somehow. They said they had a dedicated frier for fries, but I’m wondering if that is where contamination happened.

Great food and dedicated fryer. Careful about gf but be cautious. They initially brought me a gluten bun but fixed it with totally new plate and fries as soon as I pointed it out.

We're all dairy free, my daughter and I are gluten free, and we all enjoyed our food. The Absolute BEST gluten free bun, from any restaurant or bakery anywhere, including other states. Lots Of good toppings for the burgers, and the home made ketchup was really good. French Fries were tasty and when I called that morning to ask about the dedicated fryer, the guy who answered the phone answered immediately and confidently. So refreshing.

Had a great dinner with a group of friends. Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. She provided me with a list of at least 10 burger/sandwich variations, a couple entree salads, side of fruit, and root beer float. She assured me that they do have a dedicated fryer for French fries. I enjoyed the “End” burger with a GF bun and some delicious French fries.

Went here for first time since my daughter was diagnosed. I called ahead bc of the previous comment that they don’t have a dedicated fryer anymore and was told that one of their fryers was down not long ago but that once fixed they are back to separate fryers. We had a great experience, waitress and kitchen seemed to definitely know their stuff, she had gf bun and fries (bun was dry but such is life with gf and she doesn’t use any sauces or toppings…) and we will definitely return!

This is a favorite of our family because two of us have celiac disease. They have a dedicated fryer so we get to enjoy the fries! The burgers are delicious. The only time I’ve ever had a problem with my food was when I ordered it over the phone for pick up...but when I’m in the restaurant they have been excellent!

We are there on Saturday. We confirmed they DO have a dedicated fryer. Daughter, who we identified as celiac to the server had a burger on gluten feee bun, fries and a vanilla milkshake. She thought everything was delicious. I had a burger and fries, husband had grilled chicken sandwich and fries. Neither of us have gluten sensitivity. About an hour after we left, daughter got really bad stomach cramps and had to urgently get to the bathroom. She had stomach pain and cramping for the rest of the evening. The reason I am not sure it was gluten is because my stomach was cramping badly at about the 3 hour post meal mark. My husband was fine. He did not have hamburger and she and I both did. I have been there numerous times without incident, my daughter has not. So again, it may not have been cross contamination of gluten, but something made her very sick. Use caution.

My daughter works here. She saw an employee using gluten contaminated utensils with GF food. The employee said that celiac was just a made up disease. She brought it to managements attention and they shrugged their shoulders. Do not eat here because they do not believe celiac is a disease and refuse to follow safety protocols.

Unfortunately, this restaurant has changed vendors and now no longer has fries as a gf side. The only gf sides are fresh fruit & coleslaw.

Great server, Brendon. GF menu. We are very new to GF life, having celiac. My son had his first GF bun and actually liked it. He also got the chocolate shake and it was delicious.

The server handed me a GF menu and walked me through the menu! I got burger with a GF bun...fabulous! The bun didn't fall apart either! Fries are made in a separate fryer. Great service and I didn't worry about cc at all!

Gluten free menu upon request. Most all burgers available. Also the waiter asked me if it was an allergy, to which I said yes. He offered me gluten free fries even though not on the menu. Said they have and use a separate gluten free only fryer. Good food and good service. None of the appetizers were marked gluten free.
