The restaurant was a small bar and grill setting. We had good service, everyone was really nice and helpful. Food was great! It’s always a treat to have a good gluten free hamburger bun and dedicated fryer french fries. Would highly recommend.

I loved that their friers were dedicated GF - so nice to have french fries (and tater tots)! The buns were very good. We all had burgers and thought they were very good too. The place was quite loud (football playoff game was on…) and more expensive than I expected, for a burger joint.

Chef came out to speak with us. French fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer and we’re so good! Got a GF burger and Caprese salad. They even toasted a GF bun for us in lieu of the bread that came with it. We went at 11:30 on a weekday and it wasn’t crowded. Nice to eat out on vacation and feel safe!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, We all got sick. Even though our server didn’t seem to know what gluten was, based on previous reviews and the fact that he kept checking with the kitchen, we put a lot of faith in the fact that the kitchen would know. Apparently, that was not a safe choice.

Cute place, food was tasty, service was good despite being admittedly understaffed. I think our poor server was taking care of the entire restaurant! No GF menu, server didn’t know a lot GF items, but was great about running back and forth and asking the chef for each item that we were interested in. States dedicated fryer for regular fries only and they were yummy. Built our own burgers. Food was good. I would say pricey for a burger place though. But when we can go out for burgers and no one gets sick, we pay what we pay.

Friendly staff, fries are gluten free and cooked in separate fryer gluten free bun is good. Overall good quick meal. Fries were not as crispy as I'd like but good for a sensitive celiac. My server did ask if it was an allergy so that makes it even better

Amazing burgers. You have to order online, so I placed my order and then called in to make sure they would be careful about cross contamination. The staff was super friendly, even called me back to double check the order. I was told that the fries are safe but didn’t end up getting any.

The bartender knew what items were gluten free and assured me I could eat any burger (several would need fried pickles removed but that’s it!) Fries and tots have are safe too! Delicious and I still feel great hours later! I’ll definitely be coming back.

This restaurant is ON POINT! The chicken wings are a MUST. They’re grilled not fried so completely gluten safe and the Sassy ones are EPIC! Back of the throat you’re not expecting but welcome and then ask for more! I had the impossible burger with the GF bun and a few extras and everything was delicious. The fires are hand cut and you can tell and they’re also GF which is not only a nice change but no concern of cross contamination! Definitely a MUST.

I've had a handful of gf orders from here and the food is always great and haven't been sick to this point. While they did mess up one order and gave me a regular bun, the receipt did reflect that, so I called them and they were very apologetic and offered to replace my entire meal for free and Uber it straight to me.

Nice to have another burger option besides my fave place on Randolph st. For me the burger was a little greasy. Like that you can build your own burger. Fries are dedicated gluten free! GF beer options which is rad. Portion sizes are HUGE!

Gf bun fell apart worse than any other experience I have had. I don't know who reviewed it didn't. I didn't even ask for much on it. The sweet potato fries were ok. Overpriced. I could've made the same thing but better and much cheaper myself. So disappointed. They say dedicated frier but I ended up with regular fries in mine so not so sure. Not worth it.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had dining out in the 11 years since my diagnosis with celiac disease. If they make a mistake they try to just remove the offending food from the plate and return it to your table. Crumbs and all.

The food was good and I was glad to see the gluten free bun but I asked to see ingredients for the bun and they couldn't find them. My daughter has other food allergies along with gluten and I didn't get the feeling they knew much about the seriousness of food allergies.

Burger was good fries were ok. They do offer a gluten free bun (which was awesome) and they said there wings were gluten free. They have 3 gf beers but only one was completely gf ( new grist) the other two were omission and an other I can't recall but it said it was "crafted to remove gluten". For two of us with a couple drinks for each of us was 70 ish, a little steep for a burger with fries.
