Bad service, bad food, long waits, cross contamination, and lack of proper allergen policies. We had reservations on the night of the NBA finals. When we arrived they made us wait 15 minutes for our reserved table. Once we sat we again waited another half an hour to be greeted by our waitress. Granted this was after my boyfriend went up to the hostess stand and asked if we had been assigned a server. About five minutes later our waitress greeted us. We placed our order as soon as she came to the table. We ordered gf chicken tenders, gf fried pickles, and gf mac and cheese. The fries came cold so we kindly asked that they bring warm fries. When the fries came back they were not marked gf so this may been cross contaminated. However, after leaving the restaurant I was immediately running to the restroom. Under the impression the gluten was in l the fries I had tried to eat the mac and cheese left overs the same occurred where I was running to the bathroom. Upon further investigation it looked as though there were black beans and green peppers in the dish which may be proof of contamination. Do not go here if you are sensitive at all.

I’ve had many good experiences at tavern in the square, however tonight’s takeout experience was BAD. I ordered a pasta dish for takeout (bayou chicken pasta) and had a few bites before realizing there wasn’t an “allergy” sticker on my container. I called as soon as I noticed, the manager got on the phone and told me that the pasta would not have ridges if it was gluten free. I asked if she was sure, because I’d already eaten a few bites of the pasta with ridges. She’s refunding my meal and having the manager above her call me tomorrow. I am so mad, not to mention hungry without anything to eat and hoping that the contamination doesn’t make me incredibly sick. If I could give negative stars for tonight’s experience I would.

Great food! They have a dedicated fryer and GF items are marked on the menu. They also come out with allergy sticks. We ordered the bang bang broccoli, Brussels sprouts with truffle aioli, honey sriracha chicken tenders, and the chicken bayou pasta. The appetizers were on point. My pasta was a bit undercooked and salty but good.

Jury is still out. I wanted to love this place , especially since they were at the gf expo. The waitress was very knowledgeable and my food came out with allergy flags. However my dessert did not end it was stated this was all safe foodZ however 45 mins later I was very ill at home and all night. I did call the next day and the managers are looking into heat ingredients in the flourless cake is not safe as I definitely was glutened.

Most menu items can be made gluten free- pizza, fried foods, sandwiches/burgers. Knowledgeable staff, food comes out marked as “allergy”. They now have gf pasta!

Great food. Acknowledgment of my need to be strict Gluten free by the server. Confirmed separate deep fryer so no cross contamination. I ordered the burger and fries and it was cooked perfectly.

Verified Separate GF Fryer. Daughter was happy with all of the GF options here. Pretty much everything can be made gluten free. She ended up getting French fries and guacamole- both came out with an allergy flag.
