Very slow. Took a long time to get seated in a nearly empty restaurant, and even longer to get our food, which was only warm.

The staff is very accomodating, and they have decent GF options. They no longer offer GF fries, which is a bummer. The GF hamburger buns fall to crumbs with the slightest touch, but they are at least edible. No upcharge for GF burger on the kids menu- that's very Celiac friendly in my book.

Staff was very aware of Celiac, manager came over and assured me that everything would be done separately, manager even delivered my food to assure there would be no CC. Fries were awesome and done in separate fryer. Best part was that I didn't get sick, I will definitely go back!

I called a week prior and the hostess answering the phone was able to answer all my questions about gluten free options and food preparation. Our waiter was extremely knowlegable about gluten free food preparation and menu options. Our food was delivered by the manager separately to avoid contamination. The food was cooked to perfection and was delicious. We enjoyed the brunch (egg omlette, bacon, fresh fruit & fresh squeezed OJ). Plan on returning quite often. I highly recommend for anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitive. Also family friendly. The name does not do the restaurant justice...much nicer!

The staff is very helpful. As soon as your waitress comes to your table they ask whether or not you may have any allergen. Then they point out what you can eat on the menu and explain that your food will be completely cooked separately, and that it may take a little longer to prepare ( and it wasn't even that long). The manager comes to your table and discusses everything with you. There food is amazing and I will defiantly go back there.

Sooo good!!! The waitress was not that good and under educated she had no idea that they offered gluten free options we had to literally tell her . As soon as the manager found out he came right over and explained how things would be made and that he will make sure it is all good. Had the nachos and buffalo chicken pizza they were both delish!

Very knowledgable managers. Food was excellent. They fry the nachos in separate oil if you ask for gluten free nachos. Yum. Also buffalo chicken pizza was a 10!

My go to place for a good lunch or dinner. In my experience they have been super cautious with gluten free and even have a dedicated fryer. They have gluten free alternatives to almost everything on the menu.

We were disappointed. After reading these great reviews, we went here. When asking our waitstaff, who checked with kitchen/manager, they said bread is pressed on the grill, so could have cross contamination for steak and other grilled items. She said salad was safest. While it was good, we were looking forward to the burger.
