If you want deep fried food, this is the place. Good fried cheese sticks and fish. Fries are okay.

We had really bad service though. Got ghosted by our waitress and the manager was super awkward when we flagged him down. We weren’t the only ones clearly having a hard time getting appropriate service. We would have ordered more drinks etc but ended up paying and leaving. I’d go again but for an app and drinks rather than a meal.

They have dedicated GF fryers and offer a large variety of GF options for a sports gastropub. We were very pleased. Many GF options on apps, main dishes, and sides.

We had high hopes based on reviews, but we were highly disappointed as the evening ended with my daughter throwing up as bad as she ever has. We told the waitress at the start that she had celiac and the waitress looked at us like we had three heads. We asked if they used a separate fire and she said she had no idea, but then she went back to allegedly ask the kitchen. She came back and said that yes they use separate fryers. We had the gluten-free tater tots and they gluten free soft pretzels, and a burger on a gluten-free bun.

Such a cool place, friendly staff, happy hour pricing, karaoke some nights, AND DELICIOUS GLUTEN FREE FOOD! The choices are endless and safe. Have eaten here several times and never had an issue. ALSO PEANUT/TREE NUT FREE! Owner’s relative is GF so very familiar with safe food practices. Fish & Chips are amazing, as is the FRIED CHICKEN! I mean, when was the last time you had crunchy, juicy, fried chicken that was GF? You’ve gotta try this place. Sooooo good! (fried chicken dinner is pictured)

If you are only avoiding gluten, this restaurant is great. If you have multiple allergies, like we do, not the best. We have gluten, dairy and soy allergies and left hungry. There is a dedicated g.f. fryer but they use soy oil. All fried foods are coated in buttermilk. We opted for steak, pork chops and veggies but it all came out dry, overdone and plain. It's not that hard to make broccoli taste good or to cook a great tasting steak. Highly disappointed.

I had the fried fish'n'chips, mozzarella sticks, and grief deviled eggs. The taste was phenomenal. Our first waitress wasn't sure if their fries were GF, as she thought they might be breaded, but our second waitress (shift change I guess?) assured us they were gf, and in the gf fryer.

Live music was great, and mixed drink was great.

I had terrible cramps after I ate here, and I don't know if I got glutened or if it was too much grease at once.

Tbh the fried chicken was kinda dry but, they have a lot more fried foods that were amazing! i'd never even had fried deviled eggs before my diagnosis and wow they were amazing. ♡ the fried mozzarella sticks were gooey and delicious~ i've become really sensitive to seed oils since i took them out of my diet and cooking, so i probably wont go regularly, but if im really craving fried food and dont want to make it myself, this will be my #1

I had fried chicken for the first time in years! And it was delicious. They have a dedicated fryer for their gf items. So happy! I will go back to try the fish and chips, the wings, the fried deviled eggs and more.

The staff is very knowledgeable about gluten-free, we had a terrific set of nachos, the fish and chips were great, my brother-in-law had the French dip and he said it was also excellent. I am the only celiac out of the group, but everybody was very happy with dinner.

Most everything on the menu can be made GF. I got the peach glazed pork chop with garlic mashed potatoes and bacon green beans. My husband got a fried chicken sandwich (gf) with fries. We split the dirty wings. Everything was delicious and the server was so friendly. We will be back!
