I had the creole Mac n cheese with gluten free pasta, no breadcrumbs. So fantastic! They also have a dedicated fryer for just fries, and gluten free buns for burgers. Overall a really great meal with plenty of gluten free options.

Not a whole lot of options for gluten free let alone with dairy free on top of that. But the waitress did understand gluten and they have the pasta and hamburger buns marked as options to make gluten free on the menu. She even asked if I wanted my fries in the oven instead of fryer to avoid cross contamination. It tasted okay, not amazing, but I appreciate their knowledge.

We ate here on October 28, 2016. There isn't a gluten free section on menu but we told waitress about our Celiac Disease. The chef came out and told us there were gluten free pasta and hamburger buns. He would make any dish gluten free for us. Very nice restaurant and staff. Kids loved the food and atmosphere.

Our experience here was awful. The chef came out to talk to us but basically said nothing is really GF except salads and one of their chicken dishes without the marinade. Cross contamination is a huge concern. Even out non GF family members didn't enjoy their food. Not sure how this place is always so busy. I guess it's the expertise for little kids. We won't be back.

They do not actually have a gluten free menu. Someone from the kitchen will come out and go over options with you of things that can be "modified." After eating something that I was assured was gluten free (and telling them I have a severe allergy) I became extremely ill. Very disappointing.

The chef comes to the table for any food allergy and is very knowledgable of dos and don'ts. They offer baked fries and can accommodate many of there dishes.

The waitstaff was amazing and assured us there is a dedicated dryer for fries and chips. My kids are both celiac and extremely sensitive and didn’t have any issues. There’s also a pasta option, but we didn’t have it.

Fantastic experience! Our server has celiac so he guided me through the menu. The manager came to our table and filled out an allergy ticket for the kitchen. This was the best eating out experience I have had since my diagnosis 2.5 years ago.

While they have a gluten free bun and pasta, I find the atmosphere more enjoyable than their food.

I went for dinner. There are a couple of options marked as gluten free at the menu. However they can make sandwiches and hamburgers with a gluten free bun.( Not sure about de seasoning). I ordered the China chicken salad. the staff help me making that one gluten free by removing a couple of ingredients.
