Review
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.

Dedicated fryer for fries. Need I say more? Ate here twice on my stay and had 2 different burgers. The gf bun is decent and holds its shape as your burger is eaten.

Review
Please PLEASE do NOT eat the specialty fries available even if it says GF on the menu. They’re in fact not. The waitress confirmed that they fry the fries in the same fryer they use for all other foods (including gluten). I did get a chicken sandwich on a gluten free bread. It was ok, but was just really disappointed about the fries.
