✅GF menu ✅Dedicated fryer for fries I’m a sensitive celiac and I felt like I was starting to react to the seasoning on the fries so I requested a batch without it and those were fine. Hopefully I didn’t consume too much but as of now I feel fine. — Brought my own GF ketchup since I’m so sensitive

Jacob is AMAZING!! Super friendly and helpful. Made sure my celiac dining experience was safe and that’s HUGE!! Maria the manager came over and was very informative of their extra safety measures as well.

They no longer have a dedicated fryer per my waitress. She told me I could have a salad, then brought one out covered in croutons. I was afraid to send it back and get the same salad with croutons picked off. Would not recommend.

Pretty good selection. I had the lettuce wrapped Big Wave burger and it was delicious, they have a GF bun or lettuce, your preference.
No seasoning for me, (first batch with it felt troublesome for me) these were amazing!! Forgot to take a picture of my burger 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have celiac and have eaten here numerous times. The staff has told me they use a dedicated frier for their gluten free items and they pre everything seperately, however they don’t have a dedicated clean space, so there is a risk of cross contamination. But, every time I’ve told them about my issue they say they will make sure to take extra care, and I have not had any issues. I recommend them, quite a few options.

Super excited to find a burger place in my family's neighborhood that offers gluten l-free buns! They also have salad options (be sure to ask which ones are gluten-free) and tacos. The burgers are tasty and high-quality with fun add-ons like fried egg and bacon. They got my four substitutions right also (gluten-free bun, no cheese, add an egg, sweet potato fries). They have ice cream sundaes that are gluten-free (though not dairy-free, which I also needed).

I am a sensitive celiac. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce and the fries. They have a separate fryer for gluten free fries. It tasted good, and I had no issues. It was nice to go out and not have to worry.

I have Celiac which means I must eat gluten free. They have a separate menu, and were great. The manager brought my chicken tacos out himself. I tested them on my Nima Sensor and they tested gluten free!

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.
