So so good. I had the scallops with risotto, AMAZING! Great experience. Doesn’t feel like you’re in a great neighborhood, but so good!

We loved this little place! From the outside it doesn't look like much, but their menu made it hard to choose. They have burgers (no buns), salads, chicken, even gluten free cheesecake. I am able to have food in a shared fryer, so I had their house made fries, and a steak salad which had an amazing amount of steak in it. Everyone loved their meals. Items are marked GF on the menu. They may get 5 stars if they offered gluten free buns for their burgers. Would definitely return!

They were busy so we ate at the bar (this may have been a mistake since the bartender did not seem very knowledgeable about gluten free options). She didn't know if the soup of the day or salad dressings were gluten free and she didn't offer to find out. The only side she could confirm was gluten free was the salad (without dressing) and they still charged me $2 to substitute for the chips that weren't gluten free. Ordered a sandwich without the bun, but it came out on the bun. Was never offered dessert. Not a great experience ooverall.

Some good options but not the best quality. I wasn’t super impressed but it had food I could eat so its better than other places in town

Very great experience- staff was helpful and the food was delicious.

I had the teriyaki wings and beef vegetable soup.

I double checked if the teriyaki was gluten free with the waitress, who spoke with the chef before answering me. It was a really tasty teriyaki. 🥹

The beef vegetable soup light but savory and flavorful.

I stole bites of the pulled pork from a friend’s sandwich, which was flavorful and would have been a great meal on its own.

While there aren’t a lot of options (most of the choices on the menu are just burgers without the bun), I’d still highly recommend it.

Not many choices if you have multiple food allergies and do not like burgers or wings. Not very accommodating of substitutions. Server appeared rather annoyed from the moment I asked if they had gf bread (they do not). Had the Greek salad with salmon (they were willing to omit the fried feta, which is not GF.) Lots of flies. Was okay but would not go back.

Well, I wish I could say it was amazing. We had high hopes, but it was just overpriced for what it was. I got the Scallops Risotto and the scallops were tasty, but pretty small. The Risotto was inedible. Our server asked us how things were and I told her I didn’t like it and showed her the huge chunks of garlic cloves. She commented that she’s never seen it look like that and then quickly walked away. We never saw her again until she brought the bill. We had the seared cauliflower and chicken for appetizers and it was really good, but $10 for about 1 cup of cauliflower with sauce? The chicken was the same price! My husband did enjoy his burger and fries (shared fryer) The bartender was impressive as we sat watching her while we waited for our table. My Mojito was one of the best I’ve ever had. All in all...it was okay, but I don’t think I’d go back. I may be in the minority though because it was VERY busy!

Our waitress was good and asked about anything she wasn’t sure of. No dedicated fryer, so some of the gluten free listings are not truly gluten free as they are fried on the same fryer as gluten products. We had the steak bites which came with toasted bread, but only on the side so I was able to eat from the side not touching those. The waitress knew I had an allergy, so attention to celiac allergy was not great, but food was so good . We also had the tuna entree and chocolate dessert and both were amazing! Celiac friendly if careful.

Was able to eat gluten- and soy- and other allergen- free and it tasted great and even a nice presentation, which hardly ever happens with all my allergies

Good shrimp salad. Nice variety of options labeled GF. Knowledgeable staff. I prefer to go during lunch, the wait time can be a little long at dinner. Neat place!

We had a group of 6, which was an immediate turnoff for our waitress. I told the waitress I had an allergy and ordered a burger with no bun. the kitchen made it with the bun. when she told him he needed to remake it, the cook shook his head and said something. nope, not eating anything out of the kitchen, thanks for nothing. ...

I saw no signs for seating yourself, no one acknowledged my existence. After sitting at a table for around 15 minutes, I gave up and walked out.

A great assortment of gluten free options. I was able to have an appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. All of the food was excellent! My husband, myself and 2 children ate and all had a great experience. I am the only one who needs gf so plenty of options for all. Loved it!

For me it was just meh. Their saving grace was the GF Death by Chocolate cake. If going for dinner, make sure to get there around 4:00; otherwise, its way too crowded and not a lot of room.

Waited over an hour for our food and still never got it. They had no fries because they ran out of them (it was noon). Horribly run restaurant.

Love this restaurant! Throughout the menu they have a GF next to items that either are gluten-free or can be made gluten-free. They even have a fabulous GF crème brûlée! They do not carry gluten-free buns for sandwiches or burgers, but everything is so delicious you barely notice!
