Review of The Elephant Room

Food was okay. It was gluten free so I appreciate that. It’s nice to know the KITCHEN is safe. Deduction of two stars for two reasons: 1) bartender/server had no clue what was in the salad. Asked if there was cheese and she responded, “do you want cheese?” Funny, yes. But also just a little flippant for a place that boasts the GF status of the kitchen. 2) this is HUGE to me—they serve BEER. I literally watched the bartender carrying two spilling beers to a table. The beer was all over her hands and spilling everywhere. Now, sure, maybe she washed her hands and they clean up well. But don’t tell me this place is dedicated GF when they serve products with gluten in them.

Nobody seemed very friendly or happy to be there. I don’t need you to be full of fake energy, but it just felt like trying to walk through the cool kids in the hallway during high school as the nerdy quiet kid who just wanted to get to class. Like, how dare you inconvenience Becky by asking her to move a little to the left so you can get around her and Stacy talking trash about Jenny 🙄

All in all, it was okay. Chips and salsa were good—not $7 good, but tasty. I had the salad with chicken, it was fine except these weird ass tiny Brazilian peppers they put in there. Would have been nice to know they were in there so I could 86. Boyfriend had the burger. GF bun was a basic, hard, dense, not great bun. He said the burger was fine. Fries were good.
