Review
Fryer is NOT dedicated gluten free—they stated it’s supposed to be, but during busy times they use it for gluten containing items. I was able to get a bacon burger and instead of fries was able to get a very good Caesar salad. I made sure to stress the importance of no cross contamination to my server who shared it with the cooks and supervisor to keep an eye on the process.

Review
Had the cheese burger on a GF bun without special sauce and was pleasantly surprised that they have a fryer for fries only! Also got a slice of GF cheese cake. Had no issues. I am a celiac and usually, when I swallow get nauseous after swallowing if I get a crumb of gluten! Will go back! Of course, I explained how careful they needed to be.

Review
Was not bad but experience varies by server. We came twice as staying nearby... only on the 2nd visit did our server correct the misinformation from the first server.
There is NO dedicated fryer... it is shared oil. A lot of the staff are unclear of the difference

Tried to order a gluten free four cheese pasta for my Celiac daughter. When asked if they cook the pasta in separate water and use separate utensils, they said unfortunately they cook it in the same water as gluten pasta and they can’t use separate water. :(
