Review


My daughter has celiac and we were pleased to find they have a gluten free menu. However they do have a shared fryer so she was unable to have fries. She really liked the cheeseburger and the GF bun. We did have an issue though when her food came out it had fries on the plate. They said they would just remove them and we had to push him that we needed them to make her a brand new burger. I was not happy he didn’t even apologize or admit that anything wrong occurred. She was supposed to get applesauce with it and they never brought that either. Food was good, service with this particular waiter however was not good.

There’s no gluten free menu. They had marked gluten sensitive (gs) on several items. I discussed with the waitress. She suggested the tacos, made with corn tortillas would be made gluten free. I ordered chicken tacos with rice and black beans. I had no issues afterwards.

They have a “gluten sensitive” menu. Not sure how many of those items are truly safe for celiacs. I had a salad that was delicious and I didn’t have any issues after.

This establishment is NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for those with celiac disease. Please contact the establishment directly to inquire about safety precautions.

We have had really good luck here (at several of their locations in WI actually). The staff is usually pretty informed. They will typically ask how allergic you are to gluten to find out if you can tolerate their fried items. When in doubt, ask them how the food is prepared to avoid CC issues.

Nice GF menu, but the food was just so,so. Beware of fries with no dedicated frier, but this is clearly noted on the menu. No GF dessert options.

Looked online before going to make sure I could eat there with some other allergies too. Found a menu and some items that would have been good. We got there and the gluten free menu was completely different! I then asked about some food items and the kitchen said they can be made gluten free. My food came out on a flour tortilla!!!

Dedicated GF menu with a modest amount of options. Cider on tap. Side choice limited to salad with GF dressing options, no dedicated fryer. We come here often and have had minimal issues.

Thought they did quite well with catering to our needs. Asked for a gluten free menu and they had a separate one which was helpful but was only “gluten sensitive”. We got nachos, a Mexican bowl and tacos. Decent taste, no gluten and my girlfriend is celiac
