They have a GF fryer. Best chickpea flour battered buffalo cauliflower ever. The fries are really good too.

Menu says “gluten aware” which is a new one I’ve never heard of/ don’t really know what that means. I got the southwest chicken salad that had a ‘G’ next to it and double checked with the server that it came as is and did not have any thing gluten. When it arrived, it had fried tortilla strips on top that I asked the server again to confirm it was gluten free and she said she checked, they were corn tortilla fried up. I had some of my friends fries on the side. I ended up getting sick, had the left overs of just the salad the next day and got sick again so I don’t think it was the fries.

Order is well marked. Server was amazing. Food was good- limited menu options. But safe!!! My burger and fries would have been great if it had been served warm. Haven’t had French fries since July, would have enjoyed them more if they were warm.

When I called the hostess had no idea but did go speak to someone in the kitchen. Returned to the phone saying they could accommodate my needs. The online allergen menu says everything may have gluten in it, everything! The in store menu has “ga” for gluten aware next to a small handful of items. I ordered the street tacos with corn tortillas. They were very small, especially compared to the dishes of my nonceliac friends. I did not get sick.

Asked if they had gluten free items on their menu and the host gave me a “look” then pointed to a handful of items on the menu with a “GA” symbol. He then told me those items were “gluten friendly” making quotations with his fingers. We walked out.

Their menu says gluten conscious, so decided to check it out. Got the superfood quinoa salad with salmon and truffle fries. Didn’t feel so awesome and started wondering if it could have been from there. The website lists allergens...both of the items I got were “may* and may” for gluten. Apparently “may*” means cross contamination from the fryer. So, the gluten conscious truffle fries were fried with gluten items and the chickpeas on the salad were as well. They should inform the patron when they’re ordering. I specifically said I had a gluten allergy. I’m sure some of the items are fine, but make sure you ask them to leave off anything that’s been mingling with gluten...and if you have celiac don’t get anything fried.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff seemed put off about my questions about the food options (ie are your chips fried here?). The food was good, but as others have said, very limited. Steak, fish, salad or possibly tacos.

I've eaten there many times and never gotten sick ( glutened). I jus lt wish they had more options. what they do have is good though.

They have gluten friendly nachos, blackened chicken breast meals, sweet potato fries, truffle fries and for brunch a few options like a goat cheese frittata or a spicy sausage hash! They said they have a separate fryer, just let them know.... not sure if I believe it but.... I haven't got sick yet!

The GF choices here are very limited. Although they mark certain fries and nachos 'gluten aware' everything is in the same fryer so I couldn't eat them. I ordered steak which came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. They were out of mashed potatoes and didn't have any other GF sides. However, I didn't get sick so therefore 3 stars.

I've had the Cajun chicken multiple times and it's bomb! I'm highly sensitive so I'm happy. Being celiac you have to be prepared to ask the typical series of questions on how things are prepared. It's your own fault if you don't ask if the nacho chips are fried.

Gave earls a try based on the review here and the menu appearing to be well marked with "gluten aware" options. These gluten aware options were labeled on the menu as "gluten free with modifications from the kitchen." So we assumed the gluten aware nachos were safe. We made the staff aware of the celiac at the table and ordered the nachos. 30 mins later, the nachos were brought out and only then did the waitress tell us that the chips would've been cross contaminated in the fryer (in her defense, the kitchen only told her as it was brought out). Obviously, this doesn't fly for celiac. The manager then came out and then tried to sweet talk us while offering a half hearted apology. Overall, very unimpressed. They shouldn't have the nachos marked gluten aware if they don't have a dedicated fryer. On top of it, the service was Abysmal from start to finish.

No

Can confirm they have a dedicated gf fryer. I had a great chicken sandwich with fries. The bun wasn't the best I've ever had here but it was edible

Had a good experience here. Only salads and burgers marked as gf on the menu. Not sure if they can amend any of the other options on the menu however my salad was delicious and they can do gf fries.

I had a great meal here. They have a dedicated gf fryer at this location so I could enjoy fries with my chicken sandwich. The gf bun didn't tell apart and I really enjoyed it!.
