They are great here. Always very careful to make sure there is no gluten or cross contamination. And it tastes good. Dedicated gluten free menu.

A nice restaurant. We had diner, the taste was good! Gluten free options were marked on the menu. The waitress even warned me that the desert of my boyfriend was absolutely not GF.

Great spot, server was knowledgeable about menu items and how they were prepared. Not many GF options though. Would be nice if they had a separate fryer like Earls!

Staff were extremely accommodating and our server even triple checked with the kitchen staff in regards to one of the sauces. Never got sick. Would definitely go again!

Their fries say gluten free but have the risk of cross contamination due to using the same fryer. I had been a customer for 2 years while being gluten free and just gave up their fries. Last month my lovely waiter told me that I could have the fries baked instead of fried!!! This was a game changer and I don’t know why it took me so long to figure out. Highly recommend and it does not taste any different baked.

I’ve been to this location a couple of times and seem to always end up with the grilled salmon. I love places that offer gf burgers however this location was out of gf buns (Im not a big fan of lettuce buns, but will get them if there is no other option). And the server/manager came over to ask if I was ok with the bacon that might have cross contamination (which I appreciate!). I said no and ordered something else. But why is the bacon cheeseburger marked as gf? I also wish they would get separate fryers like Earl’s. The view at this location is amazing so I put up with the limited menu options.

I have been here many times for drinks. You have to insist that they have gluten free beer, as a few times I have been told by waiters that they do not have what I’m asking for (without checking). Kind of annoying. I ordered food last time and got the bacon cheddar burger on a gluten free bun with baked yam fries. I am having a slight reaction and suspect it might have been from cross contamination. My waiter did not seem to address my concerns with seriousness.

Amazing food. Well worth the price. Tasty burgers with Gf buns, and the tuna poke bowl sans tempura sprinkles is delicious.

Our waiter was delightful. They had a gluten free menu and took special care with my order. I couldn’t eat the French fries because they are in a shared fryer, so they gave me baked sweet potato fries with a garlic aeoli instead and it was delicious. I had a lettuce wrapped burger ($1 extra for the lettuce wrap) instead of the gluten free bun ($1.25 extra) and t was the best bunless burger I’ve ever had.

Separate fryer for GF items They have a menu well marked for items that are GF They are open to modifying items that are not marked as GF to see if they can make it GF (where possible) Waitress well versed in allergies Manager brings out the food separately

They have items that are gluten free and many that can be customized to be gluten free. They have a gluten free fryer. The Nashville chicken is delicious! Chance of cross contamination as thry share a kitchen space.

I’ve ate at this location a number of times, ordering the med bowl three times. Each time the server let me know they had a new separate dedicated fryer, it’s been safe for 2/3 times (I’m a later in life diagnosis and currently extremely sensitive)! Not the biggest GF menu, but appreciate the efforts.

A great spot for gluten free food. Since they’re a chain, you can easily find allergen information. This location is big and spacious as well! They have a good understanding of gluten “allergies.” My favourite dishes are the hot chicken and pickles (made in a separate fryer) and the zen sushi rolls.
