If you are truly allergic to Gluten BEWARE!!!! Our first server was horrible,I don’t think he knew or cared about the GF Menu! Took almost 20 minutes to get a drink (which was water)10 more minutes to get up & get my GF Menu myself Requested a different server, she was better but I still got extremely sick! Called the manager Kevin to complain. He apologized & said he would (look into it) He said the servers were “trained” regarding the GF Options & when I come in again let him know. Don’t think I will be doing that anytime soon.

After opting out of eating here based on previous reviews and only getting a drink anytime we went, I finally decided to take the risk. I got the Cobb Salad. Graham is an amazing waiter, he took my request seriously- double checked with the kitchen and had a manger bring my meal out separately stating it was a gluten free salad. I did not get sick. It is a risk, but I feel the excellent staff did everything they could to prevent cross contact. I probably would not order anything else off the menu other than salad because it seems like the least risk for a place that does not have a gluten free menu.

They had GF Mac n cheese and a gf pretzel bun for burgers that was delicious. They don’t have things marked on the menu and our server wasn’t very helpful, but she went to the kitchen and the chef gave her information to help us. The food had mixed reviews. Some was delicious, others, not so great. There was a fun outdoor area where we enjoyed playing corn hole and ping pong and playground for kids. The place has a nice vibe.

The outdoor seating is gorgeous. I believe then when they say they have a dedicated fryer although the menu is fairly limited

Editing to say that all gf options have been removed and I do not recommend

Update on 6/17/2021 - I reduced to one star. Since my first visit they eliminated the gluten free menu. I was told the only two options were Steak and Spinach, or Cobb Salad. Ruined my night, and felt horrible after eating the Steak. The server was concerned that the sauce that was in a container on the same plate contained gluten after I made it clear I had Celiac and could not ingest Celiac. Overall I felt that they did not take it seriously in any away. Stay away if you have Celiac.

I was very disappointed by my experience. I checked the menu before going and was excited that there were options clearly marked gluten free. I also read other reviews, and despite the options being limited, I was hopeful for a good experience. I pointed out to the waitress that I required gluten free due to my celiac. First the drinks arrived, carried in one hand and spilling all over by a different runner. This was concerning as the alcoholic beverages mostly are mixed with beer, and only 3 options appeared gluten free.

After placing my order, the waitress came back and explained that although the wings are marked gluten free, they are cooked in same fryer with wings that are not gluten free. I next asked if the nachos, also marked gluten free, with options for pulled pork or chicken were actually gluten free, and it was indicated that only the nachos without the protein were gluten free.

Overall, I was happy the waitress clarified that the items marked gluten free, were not actually gluten free due ti known cross contamination, but I was very disappointed by the menu inaccuracies, and the lack of options available. I would not recommend this establishment due to menu not being accurate.

Menu clearly labeled “gf”. The nachos were delicious! I loved the chipotle sauce on them! The bbq wings were delicious and very saucy!

Although I did have to clarify with the waitress, she went back to the kitchen to confirm that there is indeed a dedicated gf fryer. Got wings and nachos. They were incredible and did not get sick

They provided us an allergen sheet that shared ingredients of all their items. Ordered a Cobb salad and it was really good. Even the people who eat gluten enjoyed the food.

Awful. I asked specifically if they had a gluten free menu. Two different people said yes. We put our name on the wait list and waited over 45 minutes. When we got back to the hostess after they texted, we were told they did not have a menu but had an allergy menu. The hostess told me that she didn’t have an allergy so it didn’t matter. She was a bitch about it. We left.

Knowledgeable staff but limited options. Salads and sandwiches with no bread. They do not have a dedicated fryer so the French fries are off limits.
