Review
Breakfast bowl and brisket sandwich. Tony quickly let us know that possible cross contamination on the tater tots due to the same fryer being used. I personally do not need to eat gluten free but my daughter does so I tend to choose foods that she can sample or try as well. Great service the place was busy.

Have always loved the food here and good variety of options. My sister was accidentally given a gluten meal instead of the gf option, she caught it though!

I got a chicken sandwich - the waitress let me know there could be cross contamination but that she would let the kitchen know and they would clean and keep my chicken patty separate. The food was pretty good!

Review
I joined some coworkers for a happy hour here tonight. I was not optimistic going in and I was still a bit disappointed. Lots of "gluten friendly" options but also... kind of not? Disappointed that I couldn't even have nachos as chips are fried in a shared fryer. I ended up ordering a strawberry salad, which was good but not very "happy hour" - oh well! My waitress was not very well versed in the offerings, either.

Review
Ordered the nachos based on previous reviews. Sent back because chips are cooked in shared fryer (new waitress didn't catch). They either changed how they do nachos or previous celiac people got lucky! I wasn't willing to take the risk. Ordered phuket bowl, but nima found gluten. Really faint red line so I'm guessing cc. They were willing to try a 3rd time, but I passed. Staff really was friendly and apologetic. They comp'd my son's meal (great portion size) which he said was delicious. I say this rarely but based on staff/ manager response, I'd likely try them again.

I’ve eaten here several times and had good experiences every time. I’ve eaten the Poke bowl, nachos, and some of their breakfast times without issue.

This place is great! The menu has delicious gluten free options and not the “same old same old” salads. I have enjoyed the nachos here twice

This place has options for all sorts of food limitations. The staff is knowledgeable about their kitchen and what would be contaminated.
I ordered the beyond burger with a gluten free bun and a side of coleslaw.
The service was fantastic!
