It was great! They even checked the aussie rolls for cross contamination with tree nuts/peanuts

I ordered a salad from the Gluten Sensitive menu. After eating several bites, I found a large crouton buried in my salad. Management offered to replace the salad or get me something else but I declined as I did not trust them to prepare me anything else after that. Management did cover the bill for our party but the crouton pretty much ruined the afternoon.

Provided me with a gluten sensitive menu without me even having to ask. Majority of the meals on the menu can be prepared gluten free. I had the chicken fajitas (served with corn tortillas) and they were AMAZING. Will definitely be returning

There is a gluten sensitive menu including kids menu options. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We even made a special request for our GF 4 year old that they were able to accommodate.

Server wasn’t well informed about the gluten-free menu but the manager on duty came over and greeted us. He was well-informed and let me know they had a dedicated fryer for the fries. The sweet potato fries were delicious. Best part of meal hands down. I had the Hickory BBQ burger it was okay. A little undercooked - I had asked for medium well. It was more pink than I prefer. They are testing a new GF bun at this location. It was okay. A bit soggy (they butter them) so I would’ve preferred It a bit more crisp or without the butter. Many GF menu items were available. And they even had a gf dessert on the menu.

Had separate gluten free menu with many varied choices from appetizer/salads thru a flourless chocolate waffle for dessert. Manager came over to table to see if I had any questions. I had fajitas with corn tortillas and it was delicious!

From what was explained to us they have a 'limited gluten' menu and no dedicated fryer. I did not view this as safe for celiac.

Food. Staff and atmosphere is great. They have the usual "gluten sensitive" we can't assume the food we serve is gluten free disclaimer. Looking in the kitchen area it's a possibility of cross contamination. And yet they definitely have their act together. I tried it and loved it your mileage my vary

Extensive GF menu with so many choices that it was difficult to select. I got the GF fajitas and they were possibly the best I've ever had. The GF chocolate waffle was insanely tasty.

Very knowledgeable and willing to accommodate celiac needs. They cooked my daughter's burger in its own skillet without me specifically asking for that. They said they do have a dedicated fryer for french fries, though we didn't order fries with the meal for my daughter. The flourless chocolate waffle is a safe dessert, too. Very good experience!

I would not recommend to celiacs. For everyone else, the food is really yummy and their “gluten sensitive” menu has quite a lot of choices.

For celiacs, I got glutened. I informed them I had a “gluten allergy” and had a burger from the gluten sensitive menu with a gluten free bun. The gluten sensitive menu also had fries but I opted out because I take extra caution when it comes to fried foods. I started having exposure symptoms shortly after. I don’t know how I could have gotten glutened besides cross contamination.

Ordered the warm goat cheese salad from the Gluten Sensitive menu. It arrived with the warm goat cheese rolled in gluten. Not sure why this is offered on the Gluten Sensitive menu?

Excellent food, great and knowledgeable wait staff, even Gf fries! Just hoping for a gluten free bun soon, but they have lots of other options and yummy dessert! Editing this to add that the last 2 times we have gone, there has been a crouton found in the bottom of what was supposed to be a GF salad. Their food is delicious, but when they are busy, they make mistakes and aren’t reliable.

Didn’t expect much so I wouldn’t be disappointed. My only disappoint is that I’ve been in the area 3 weeks and I haven’t been here before. Wife had salmon filet (NGF), friend had “sweet water chicken salad and I had a 16 oz. Prime rib, off the gluten free menu. No disappointment is an understatement,this is a meal that rivals the best I’ve ever had. Pleasant atmosphere, a little noisy, I suffer from headaches but the food is worth it. Josh was our waiter and he was respectful, clean cut and knowledgeable, that’s important to me.

Their Young Roasted Chicken is my favorite. When I started getting symptoms. I was glad to find out it's part of the gluten free items.
