It was good, but was disappointed after eating at a Burtons last year on our trip. Waitress said they changed the menu. Didn't seem to be as many GF options as before. No stuffed zucchini on the new menu. Had chicken artichoke Risoto and it was good.

Had fish and chips. Excellent. Haven't had those since been GF. Staff very knowledgeable on gluten free needs. Manager brings plate to you. GF food served on square plates so there is no confusion. Will go back.

My FAVORITE gluten free restaurant.

They take it very seriously here. They have separate cook area so it's hard to have cross contamination.

I love the fish and chips

They have great menu and even have special gluten free events.

AMAZING!! I can't tell you how happy I was to find this place on our vacation. The owner is celiac, they have a separate kitchen for allergies, they have a LAMINATED actual GF menu not a paper print off, and everyone knows about all sorts of allergies not just GF. I had restaurant french fries for the first time in a year and a half and loved every second. I only wish I didn't live four hours away. Definitely give this place a try!!!

This restaurant has excellent service and a full GF menu, as well as GF beer and cider. The GF rolls are amazing. We had an amazing brunch this morning. If you call ahead a day or so, they will make a batch of gluten free pancakes just for you on Sunday morning.

If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Designated kitchen space and highly trained staff. We were told the owner's wife has celiac. These people know what they're doing. Even better, the food is the most awesome stuff ever!! We ended up going back 2 nights in a row. Even the kids begged to return. Best kids menu I've ever seen and only $7. If you don't go, you're missing out!

This was the most accommodating place I've ever been to! EXTENSIVE gf menu, extremely knowledge staff, AND all of the gf items cane on square plates (as opposed to round for non gf). Food was outstanding, and they had free gf bread before the meal and gave is some fresh pieces to take home when we left.

Best gluten free friendly meal we have had in a long time. Calamari was delicious. My husband was thrilled to find gluten free fish and chips. On the expensive side but if you are looking for a nice dinner with good food and great service I highly recommend it.

So wonderful!! My sister, gf AND vegetarian, was thrilled to be handed a separate menu!

They have a new deal as well, 1/2 price burgers Sunday-Thursday from 3-6. It was great and allowed our family of seven to keep from breaking the bank! :-)

We have had another excellent gluten free dining experience at Burton’s. This restaurant does not disappoint. Any other restaurant offering gluten free selections should aim for the standard set by this restaurant. This is the second time we have dined at Burton’s, and in a different location. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and the food is out of this world good! This visit I had some of the best gluten free pasta I have tasted so far. Keep up the good work Burton’s! You are light years ahead of the rest. Oh, and please open some restaurants in Pennsylvania.

They have a separate gluten free menu with plenty of options plus the regular menu if you’re going out with your non-gf friends/family. Great for any occasion and one of my go to spots.
