Server was somewhat knowledgeable. They had a specific GF menu but shared kitchen spaces. My husband ordered off the GF menu and the server told us she would make sure to emphasize. Husbands tacos came out on flour tortillas… they remade and manager brought them back out and apologized. Didn’t get glutened once they brought us the correct tacos though.

The waiter was helpful about the gluten-free options and they have a separate gluten-free menu. But I got contaminated and was I’ll for the next day.

I love this place! As soon as I asked for a gluten free menu, the staff reassured me that they made everything separate from items with gluten. I got tacos, cheesy fries and a sundae, no issues at all! GF menu isn’t huge but does have nice options and dessert. Would definitely come back again!

Gluten free menu with a few choices. The burger was great with a lettuce wrap and dedicated fryer for the French fries! Also, I had cheese melted on the fries. Would definitely recommend!!!

Lots of gluten free options on the menu. Had teh bacon cheese burger and fries which were both fantastic.

Went here on a busy Sunday night. Seated right away and rapid service for the order. Then nothing, took 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Food arrived on time, but we had to ask 3 times for drink refills before they arrived. We felt like we were on an island!

Great food and we had a great time otherwise.
