Did not get sick. I was very specific with our waitress about my dietary restriction, and learned that certain dishes marked gf on the menu might not be celiac friendly. Food was delicious, but I only felt safe getting a burger on a lettuce bed.

Two attempts here and both I've ended up with a salad. It was good and I didn't get sick either time which is good, but I probably won't come again.

3 items are labeled GF on their menu. The crispy wings are cooked in a shared fryer and not safe for an allergy. The BBQ ribs are soaked in beer before being cooked, meaning they are not GF at all. The nachos are supposed to be GF and I was told on my first trip another waitress has Celiac and eats them all the time but they were out of corn tortillas that night. Just went again and was told they have no way of making the tortilla chips GF since they are in a shared fryer. Waitress thinks Sidecar might be able to make them at night but wasn't sure.

TLDR if you like salad, this is a great place

There are not many celiac safe options as there is no dedicated fryer. they went out of their way to make the chicken nachos, and cleaned the flat top to toast my corn tortillas since theirs are fried in house. however, I still got sick :( I would advise against eating here, the staff were great and it would be a really fun place to attend bingo or trivia nights

I was able to eat here with no issues. Had the bbq wings, waitress asked the kitchen which sauces were safe and there were plenty of choices. Other GF items clearly marked. Great experience!

Really enjoyed eating here. Wings are gluten free, along with other appitizer and entree items. Service was great, Bartender knew her stuff when talking about gluten free items. We went back a second day, and on way out she ran out to us to ask if everything went well again. ( She was working in kitchen and saw we came back) I highly recommend going there!
