Review
No longer has a dedicated fryer, but they can use an air fryer with parchment paper (I do have some concerns about the fan blowing crumbs though). I asked if the lunchmeat was gluten free and the response was "should be". Unfortunately, as a celiac, I don't feel as safe here after the change in ownership. They still do have several GF options and they are marked on the menu so still a good option to have, but have a discussion with whoever is preparing your food to make sure you feel safe.

A member of the owner’s family has celiac disease. Employees were very knowledgeable of the precautions necessary. I feel very comfortable dining at this establishment.

So good! I have ate here a few times, never gotten sick. Tater tots are my favorite, fried in a safe fryer. Owners daughter who is also gluten free makes my food! She is the best!

Review
Owner’s have a daughter who is gluten free so they are very aware of the difficulties of dining out (especially on a budget).
Steps has been taken such as:
- Dedicated GF fryer for tots
- GF bread options separated from other bread
- Training of staff
- GF menu available to review (ask cashier)
- Food labeling
- Special GF desserts individually packaged and labeled.
