Being a celiac it’s amazing to get fried food. Had the chicken and fries. Enjoyed both!

Update 2023: Still great chicken but be sure to ask every time. They ran out of gf batter one time and they had to use gluten so just be safe and double check. They said they clean the fryers out after they did that, not sure if it’s often that it happens but it happened one day! Amazing fried chicken. Asked about if it’s a separate area, but the way they make it just is 100% gluten free! Many sauce option and a few sides are GF as well. On of my fave places to go.

Beware!!! Eating here has sent me to the ER twice! I have eaten here for years safely and without sickness, but the last two times recently it has made me really Ill. The first time I thought it was other food I ate because this has been my go- to fast food place for a long time. Web site and staff still say it’s gf, but something has changed and I don’t think it is anymore.

The fried chicken is dry, crunchy bite size pieces of chicken breast. Not exactly what I was after, having not had fried chicken in years! Maybe the fish tacos are better. Glad there’s a place with GF good, but disappointed overall.

I eat here fairly often. Gotta say the fried chicken is good and wins big points for me! However the service is consistently pretty bad - just a bunch of dudes that seem stoned and like they don’t care about their job. Bummer to see especially since there is a small risk of cross contamination. Tonight they gave our food away to someone else and never told us. Took over an hour to get food on a Monday.

Delicious fried fish taco! It was so crispy. Dedicated gluten free fryer. This place mainly offers fried chicken and fish tacos, both gluten free. Flour tortillas are available but the risk for cross contamination seems low.

Excellent!! They take gf seriously, have extra training and were so nice! Our family enjoyed chicken nuggets with several sauces. (The fry place next door has a dedicated fryer for fries)

I haven’t had fish tacos in years!! They come with flour tortillas but you can ask for GF corn tortillas. I couldn’t even tell these were GF bc they were so delicious.

The chicken is GF, made in a dedicated fryer, and it was tasty. Had the spicy Thai sauce. A bit spendy for what is essentially boneless wings but nice to be able to have this treat safely. All sauces are GF.

Best GF fish taco and fried chicken I’ve had! We are not celiac, so don’t have worry about cross contamination :)

While they claim to be gluten free, the staff were unable to answer my questions.

The food tasted soooo good. But an hour later I felt bloated and the fried food sat like a lead weight on my stomach. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had fried food in 6 years.

We won’t be returning. I don’t need that kind of food.

Gluten free fried chicken and fish tacos. Staff didn't seem very knowledgeable about what gluten was, though, so I don't feel confident recommending it for celiac. When asked if their sauces were gluten free, the answer was, "I think so."
