Their “gluten sensitive” menu is for those who are gluten intolerant, not for Celiacs. It even says that cross contamination is likely. I won’t eat here.

Be careful here! I’ll never go here again. Waitress had no clue about gluten. They do have a gluten sensitive menu. I ordered wings with garlic parm(no bread crumbs). I ordered from the gf menu and even asked her to note that I have a gluten allergy. I got really sick about an hour after eating.

I ate at the Bethlehem location and waiter did not seem to know what I was talking about. I am not confident that they have a procedure in the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination and staff was not knowledgeable about it.

Went to the Bethlehem location and was very disappointed. Server nor the kitchen staff knew if a side dish they put on my plate was gluten free, I will never eat here again.

They have no safety protocols. They have GF buns, but were annoyed and rude when I asked if a specific item was gf. They do not want to be bothered by allergy requests at all nor do they even want to try to help find something. I’ve been here several times and literally can not eat anything but a side salad (no croutons).

I asked for salad with chicken one time but after asking if the chicken was gf, they microwaved plain chicken for me. No salt. Nothing. Not good at all.

I have celiacs and this restaurant has a gluten sensitive menu. I had the grilled chicken on a gluten free bun. The sandwich case with chips and a pickle. The sandwich was decent and I was fine at the end of meal which is a plus.

Absolutely horrible. I had the audacity to ask if they had a GF menu or GF options. The waitress was totally ignorant and after saying that she didn't think so, didn't even offer to find out for me.

Alright food, nothing too special about it. They have Udi buns for substitute but in my opinion I don’t feel like it’s worth it. No gf fries either. Kinda dissapointed. Servers are knowledgeable just wasn’t too happy with the food itself

Went in looking for wings. They do have “naked” flour free wings, but they do not have a dedicated fryer. There is a large gluten free selection.

They have a small gluten sensitive menu online. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken dip without the topping and pita, just carrots and celery in side. Nothing pretty but it tasted good. Had the Keto Fajita Bowl as an entree. Definitely worked for bar food. I’d go again. Their drink menu looked great.

They have a separate gluten sensitive menu. I’ve been glutened here in the past, so be careful how you order. I almost exclusively eat the wings but they have a bunch of options including very good burgers. The only wings sauces that are safe are hot and honey and garlic parm (no breads crumbs), and must be ordered naked style. I’ve had no issues the last few times once I was more careful ordering and emphasizing my gluten intolerance.
