The burger I got was solid, except for the gf bun, which was untoasted/unsteamed, crumbly, and still cold from the fridge. The owner just happened to ask me about it and took feedback well and even asked about alternatives. I suggested Schär brand buns (which are my favorite) and Cole's Bakery, a local bakery that also makes great hamburger buns, and the owner said she'd give them a call and talk about buying from them :)

All fried foods are fried in gluten-contaminated oil and taps aren't fully segregated into gluten beers and gluten free-ciders, so I decided to pass on beer and fries

They appear to have a large selection of gluten free items. The menu is labeled. My server was very rude when I told her I was gluten intolerant and I was informed that they use the same fryer for everything and that nothing was actually gluten free. My burger that I requested to be cooked well done was raw. I sent it back and they simply heated the party up, put it back on the bun and served it again. The price I had to spit out was still on the plate. The burger was still very undercooked. I sent it back again and they made a new burger that time. My husband was done before I was even able to start eating. There was no attempt made by management or our server to make amends. We will never go back.

Told the server I was Celiac and was served a salad with bread on the plate. I told the server that I had to have it gluten free and the plate was taken and then returned with the bread removed and the corner of the plate wiped so that I would be “safe”. When I pulled the waitress aside and explained how this was unexceptable she commented on how eating gluten free was just a fad for many as an excuse for how my meal was handled. Unacceptable.

I would give it more like 3 1/2 stars. The kitchen sometimes gets it wrong but the food is good. They have gluten free bread and buns for sandwiches and the have other items clearly mark for GF or can be made GF. They have a good variety of gluten free beer and hard ciders. The price point is good for the portions and the staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable about GF and other food allergies.

GF options are clearly marked on the menu. No designated fryer. GF sandwich bread was good, they said they have buns too. I had a turkey club type sandwich with avocado and it was delicious! Fresh fruit was fresh fruit. They do not guarantee no CC but said they would alert the chef and I didn’t get sick! I also can’t do dairy.

The gf options are limited and make you feel like half your food is missing from the plate. An example is instead of a gf roll, they just remove the roll
