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

First off, I will say the manager and the waitress were great. I ordered from the gluten-free options. I got steak and mashed potatoes and asparagus. I informed the waitress I had celiac. Unfortunately my Nima sensor tested the steak and the mashed potatoes as positive for gluten. The manager was very interested in my sensor, And was trying to troubleshoot why they showed up as gluten positive.

Be careful what you order and ask questions! Had my heart set on Pasta Carbonara, which is made with gf pasta upon request. However, the gf pasta is made in the same water as the regular pasta. Ordered the tamale cakes instead and they were great. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable. They have a lot of offer in the gluten free department, just remember to ask about the items first and you'll be fine.

Had a great experience here, my server was very well informed with regards to the items on the menu and how it was prepared. She notified the manager and the chef about my allergy. I was a bit apprehensive about how busy they were and how careful they were going to be with regards to cross-contamination.

Ordered items I knew were gluten free and was served the wrong meal with items that I know to contain gluten. They apologized and cooked a new meal, which came with scraps of gluten-containing veggies on the plain green beans. Stay away from this place!!!

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. :(

This location is always great about my celiac and i’ve never had an issue. They do have a dedicated fryer, delicious Gf buns for burgers (that they actually heat up), and they change gloves when preparing
