We called ahead to discuss options. They have a dedicated GF fryer for chips and GF for dog nuggets, but they don’t put French fries in there. We are trying to feed a celiac child, so nice to have kid-friendly GF for dog nuggets. I ordered a GF quesadilla and asked for a couple of the triangles to just be tortilla / cheese. Our kiddo ate some of the cheese quesadilla made w GF tortilla, but liked the corn dog nuggets and chips better.

Side note: They are known for their board games. You can play while you wait.

Update: No longer gluten free and celiac safe. I ordered quesadillas on corn tortillas to go and made sure I put Celiac Disease in the comments. The order was made with flour tortillas because they were out of corn tortilllas but never told me despite having my phone number and email address. So disappointing!

They're are multiple options noted on their menu as being GF. I asked about a Philly cheese steak option and if it would be GF after using the GF bun they offer for sandwiches and burgers. I let them know I have Celiac disease. Not only was the waiter knowledgeable, and friendly, he was gracious and didn't act out off by my question at all. He even checked with the kitchen and found that it was safe; he told me they are actively working to make more of their menu GF and had recently changed the recipe to not brine the meat in a glutinous brine. In addition to letting me know that the sandwich could be made safely, they said they would cook it in its own pan to avoid CC.

They also have a dedicated GF fryer for sweet potato fries/tots and other things including (I believe) chicken wings.

I got one of the philly cheese steak sandwiches on a GF bun, had sweet potato fries, and had an appetizer of mini quesadillas on corn tortillas.

Everything was very tasty and I did not get sick afterwards. My husband does not need to be GF and said his food was all great too, including hush puppies (which are NOT GF).

The other cool thing about the restaurant is that it is also very family friendly. They have a huge wall of games that you can play if desired - kids play free and adults are $5/person for unlimited game time that day. The night we went was a Thursday trivia night and joining in the trivia was free.
