The inside of the place is COVERED with flies. The table I was at in the corner had around 16 flies on the windows alone. The place had ZERO effort in getting rid of them.

Very good burger with guac, bacon and cheese on gluten free bun and they seemed knowledgeable of cross contamination protocol. Note: I asked and the chicken tenders are fried in the same oil as the French fries. They do have safe bagged chips. Not sure if it there was a change, but previous reviews has mentioned a dedicated frier. Fruit, cheese and veggie bowl are also safe. Overall, good experience!

We stopped here during our animal tour. Food was great and they had many options for using the gluten free bun. They also have a dedicated fryer for the fries. My food came out in a different box than the rest to mark it’s gluten free.
