I have been to the one in Huntsville several times and had a wonderful experience! However; I went to the Auburn location for a friend’s birthday and made sure the server and manager knew I had Celiac Disease. I explained that cross contamination will make me sick. However, my meal (I ordered the pork steak, baked potato, and salad) was brought out, and my server had plated my food with mac & cheese as the side, touching my pork. I explained to the server that I could not eat this food without getting sick because the pork had now been cross-contaminated and asked her to remake it. She took it back to the kitchen, but came back almost immediately with the pork re-plated and baked potato on the plate. I re-iterated to her that I couldn’t eat something that had been cross-contaminated, but the server insisted it was a different piece of pork meat. Not wanting to make any more of a scene on my friend’s birthday, I ate it, and got very sick from the meal. I wish all of the servers took Celiac Disease seriously.
