Yes, they have a gf menu. However it is without the gluten stuff. For example baby back ribs without the sauce. Really? Who wants to eat ribs with no sauce. I ended up with the Copper River Special Iron Steak without the Copper River Reds. My steak and mixed veggies where good. My husband's,not gf, burger was over cooked. My daughter, who is gf, loved her grilled chicken tenders and my son also gf ate half of his burger with no bun. Not a place I ever want to go back to. So far, I am not sick so hopefully I stay that way.

Have eaten here multiple times since being diagnosed with a severe gluten intolerance. Wait staff can be knowledgeable (depends on which waiter or waitress you get). I order the Copper River Salad every time I go and have had no symptoms with this particular salad. I do wish they had a few more GF options to offer on their menu.

They have a GF menu but clearly state that they do not have a GF fryer or separate prep area. I appreciate the fact that they are honest and open about it but wouldn't eat here as a celiac.

I was pleased with the over all GF menu. I ordered the grilled salmon salad. Their seafood is wild caught. Will surely be back!!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. The menu for GF is very limited and I knew this going into it. I ordered a GF salad and specified allergy and ensured no croutons would be on the salad. The salad came out with a large croissant across the top. I asked for it to be completely remade for my celiac diagnosis and the waitress responded that they have a disclaimer on their menu that items can be gluten sensitive but not guaranteed to be gf. I countered with- well there was no mention of a croissant being on the salad. I would have asked for it to be removed if that was the case. I stopped fighting with her and didn’t eat the salad. Better safe than sorry.

There is nothing for Celiacs here. After attending a funeral, my family ate here and I knew I could likely have a plain salad or something if someone would put one together for me. The following exchange occurred:

Server: What can I get for you? Me: I have Celiac and I am… Server (cutting me off): Got it, so you’re good, you won’t be eating today.

Promptly went on to take the next order.

I get that they have a big statement about cross contamination, but they outright refused to even have a conversation and TOLD me that I would not eat at their restaurant.

And, yes, the staff were aware that we’d come as a family from a funeral.
