They had a gluten free menu online, items were not labelled in the restaurant but the server was aware and gave me some options. Food was much better than expected and we loved the crazy drinks!

Staff appeared to be very knowledgeable about allergies. They had a dedicated fryer for French fries and they have gluten free buns. The food was safe (I did not get sick from cross contamination or anything) but it wasn’t very good, it was just ok- and the rest of the people I was eating with agreed with me. Overall, this is a good option if you want something safe, but I would avoid it if you want good food.

We had a large group for a birthday on Saturday I am at ECMC Hospital with my daughter that has food poisoning. Her boyfriend and others in the party are very ill. Dr in emergency stated this rest is known for leaving food out too long. 2yr old is sick also. So please be careful this was a nightmare. Hopefully the health inspector will be there soon. Please be careful.

Very few options for gf kids. Server was not very knowledgeable, but was aware that special care needed to be taken. Food was mediocre at best. Kid options gf Mac and cheese, and grilled chicken. Their dedicated fryer had "accidentally" been used for other non-gf items, and therefore no fries... At least they told us before they served them to our girls. Sides included kettle chips and fruit. Bottom line: you can eat here gf...as a last resort for kids. More options for adults. Ask many questions.

Many, many, many gluten free menu items. Great place to eat if you have Celiacs. Gluten free NOT advertised on the menu, but ask your server, they are very knowledgeable.

They don't have a GF menu, but the hostess told me to talk to the server. They have GF rolls for sandwiches and burgers and GF pasta. Really fun atmosphere for the kids, food was really good and nice to have a place to eat on vacation that everyone enjoyed and was safe for me.

Good for a fun bite to eat. Most of their menu is gluten free, except for the fried items. Even the fries are done in their own fryer to keep from cross contamination. Great place for kids.

Waiter was completely clueless (had no idea whether pasta would be a gf food or not). Very few options.

The food was good and there are a decent amount of options. My only complaint is the food is extremely overpriced. We spend over $100 for 4 of us and that was purchasing the cheaper meals. We did not purchase appetizers or dessert.

My server really didn't have much knowledge of gluten free items. He did give me his hand written list of what was gluten free. They have gluten free buns for the burgers. My food was brought out touching all the other food on the tray, so be careful of cross contamination.

The chef came out and spoke with me about my dietary needs. I had the anaconda pasta and did not have a reaction.

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.
