Wonderful knowledgeable staff, dedicated frier!!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Have gone here many times and love it every time! As a celiac I don’t feel comfortable going out to sport bars, but this one is absolutely wonderful. (Gf buns are also ONLY a $1 up charge, very very reasonable)

Every time I’ve been here the staff has been very knowledgeable about what food is Celiac safe. There are tons of options. The fries are made in a dedicated fryer and are so crispy and delicious. Also, the staff is super nice and attentive.

Review
We were so excited to try LJ’s because of their good reviews and separate gluten-free fryer. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful too. Unfortunately our daughter with celiac disease had awful symptoms from gluten exposure after our meal. DO NOT recommend eating here if you have celiac disease.

Very nice place to go for a gluten free burger AND they always keep a non-gluten fryer. The staff are polite and knowledgeable (for those who like me hate the snarkiness some servers will share when requesting gf options).

Review
Many options for my celiac daughter, with good gf buns for sandwiches and a dedicated fryer. The wings looked so good when they came out that we had them recheck with the kitchen to make sure they gave us the gluten free ones. Knowledgeable staff about what was gluten free and what could be modified. Great place to watch a game with plenty of tables in addition to the bar area, and well-placed TVs. Highly recommend.

Predicated fryer, knowledgeable staff, delicious food, great gluten free buns. What more could you ask for.
