The staff is knowledgeable and kind, but you have to make the severity of your allergy clear to your server! I am a very sensitive celiac and had no reaction to my burger and salad (no bun). Menu is accommodating of other allergies/vegans. !! Be warned that anything fried is cross contaminated !! Get the pickles or hummus instead :)

The waiter let me know they toast their gluten free bread in the same spot as the regular bread, but the salads are great!

The food was amazing. The GF bun was fantastic and it didn't fall apart, but it was soft and light. The staff was so kind.

GF items identified on the menu. GF bread is available for extra charge. The sandwich was good and bread tasted good but fell apart. Also got hummus appetizer with cucumber - delicious. Wait staff was knowledgeable about options. Do not have dedicated fryer.

The server was excellent and seemed careful. I substituted a salad for fries because of the shared fryer. The food was excellent but I have been quite sick all day. I have not had this bad of a reaction to anything since I was previously given real bread and was told it was gluten free. I question if they didn't substitute the bread.

SO GOOD! It’s a little confusing because they mark all items that don’t contain gluten as GF, but they are very clear that they had a shared fryer. Our server was very helpful, I wasn’t able to get my first choice sandwich, but the second choice was easily made GF. I avoided the fries and chips and had a side salad instead, which I wasn’t super excited about but wound up being surprisingly delicious. I had the Washington on a GF roll and it was phenomenal! Would absolutely go back!

The sandwiches here are delicious and so amazing!! They do not have a dedicated gluten free frier so the French fries and wings are not safe. But the chips were! They have yummy gluten free bread that we had with the hummus platter. GF bread for sandwiches too. Our waiter said the kitchen was careful to change gloves and clean surfaces to avoid cross contamination. We actually ate here twice in one weekend we loved it so much!

Very conscientious and helpful about the GF items. My vegan burger was served on a very high-quality GF bun and was absolutely delicious. The many sauces and dips are all GF.

We have eaten here 4 times (3 times in one weekend one time) and never had any adverse celiac reactions; one kid is super sensitive. My kids love the burgers AND fries and the sandwiches I’ve had are delicious. I believe they might now have a dedicated fryer for the fries but do t remember. Due to covid, we’ve done to-go ordering and they are great with their take-out and precautions if dining in. I did call in our order vs online to make sure that one kid burger was GF. We will be getting more SSS with a trip to Richmond this weekend and all future visits.

The staff is pleasant; can’t have fried eggplant, veggie burger, or fries/chips but can do sandwiches with gluten free bread and side salads. Good food and felt safe eating it

The staff were very knowledgeable. No dedicated fryer but they did give me a salad instead of french fries. Gluten-free bread for sandwiches and buns toasted separately. Delicious food!
