I ordered the gluten free pasta. They also have gluten free bread to make grilled cheeses.The staff was knowledgeable about what sauces were gluten free. I told them I was worried about cross contamination because the broccoli was right beside the regular pasta. She got broccoli from the back that was nowhere near the pasta. She also changed her gloves before and after she made my food. I have Celiac Disease and have never been sick eating at this restaurant.

I came here with some friends and I got a mac and cheese bowl. The pasta was a little bit hard, but I've definitely had stiffer GF pasta at other places. The girl making my food did change her gloves. I got the cheese sauce, broccoli, cauliflower, and pepper jack cheese. Unfortunately, after I got about halfway through my bowl I started to have a reaction.

Absolutely delicious!! I ordered the build your own Mac & cheese bowl with the gluten free pasta, veggies, & grilled chicken. The staff were very kind & knowledgeable. She stated that the cheese sauce isn’t certified gluten free because it’s not made in a gf facility, however, there are other sauce options. The dessert bar is essentially a rice krispy treat, but it was very good! Great meal! I will definitely be coming back!

Have eaten here several times and never gotten sick. Staff is very knowledgeable and aware of everything that might contain gluten. I have not tried the gluten free pasta bowl, because I love grilled cheese sandwiches and there are so many options to choose from. I get gluten free marinara and tater tots. The sandwiches are amazing!

If you are sensitive at all to cross contamination, I would personally not recommend this to you. It’s a buffet style set up and when we asked they could not tell us which toppings were GF.

It looks delicious and if you aren’t GF it’s probably a great spot though.

Owners are soooo nice! They cooked the Mac and cheese in a separate area, and told us they took precautions for gluten free. They were a really friendly family and the food, both gluten and gluten free, was great!

I got glutened here! i asked them to change their gloves and they were happy to do so but while i wasn’t looking i believe they mixed my bowl with the same spatula used on other ones and i’m not sure if they have a separate one available or not. if you are more on top of it than me you’ll probably be fine and it was good food but not at all worth the amount of pain i am currently in. i wouldn’t go again because the chance of this happening again is very present.

So in theory this place is great as they have separately portioned gluten free pasta. Unfortunately when I went in the two workers who were there must not have understood what celiac disease/gluten “allergy” was because one of them stirred my Mac n cheese with a spatula and then set it down on a cutting board covered in bread crumbs and then stirred it again… and then asked me if I wanted bread crumbs on top💀.

I ordered gluten free mac and a gluten free grilled cheese. Everything was amazing! The noodles aren’t grainy and the bread isn’t tiny. It’s all so good.
