I eat here probably once a week and I usually get the spud max. If I get there early or if they aren’t busy I will order a sandwich on gf bread. If they’re busy it’s a 50/50 chance on whether you will get sick or not.

I love eating here, had the Spud Max and when I told the lady taking my order I had a gluten allergy she was like "Celiac?, I got it too" it's nice and safe

The staff was knowledgeable about their gluten sensitivity menu and asked the person preparing the food to change his gloves. Had the spudmax. It was ok. Been here a couple of times and the spud was delicious but this time lacked toppings that gives it the flavor. Still, I'd come here again. August 3, 2021 Came back and ate the spud max and this time it was very flavorful. Didn’t have any problems. They did a great job!

Newer location with indoor and outdoor (both covered & uncovered) seating. Offer GF bread. The BLTA is a good choice. Both nachos are legal as long as you omit chili. Top with grilled chicken or the ham are both good substitutes. Most of the potatoes are legal, except for the one with beefsteak.

I called this restaurant to see if they had gluten-free available. They said they have gluten-free bread, but none of their deli meat is gluten-free. That does not make sense to me!
