Have eaten here often without incident. No gluten free bread but burgers can be done with no bun. Fries have a dedicated frier as well as the bacon for brunch. They also have non breaded buffalo wings which I think are also fine. Servers are very helpful as well. I only took off a star because the selection is limited, but it's nice to have options at a fun neighborhood cocktail bar and brunch spot

Edit: they removed wings fron the menu, so disappointed

Came for brunch and there were barely any GF options. No GF bread and I immediately felt sick after even ordering something with modifications.

This restaurant has amazing drinks and atmosphere but unfortunately the only thing gluten free options are a burger with no bun or the salads minus the gluten ingredients. Asked about the chicken wings and fries and the waitress said they were made with flour and not gluten free.

Just had EARLY sunday brunch here. Asked about the Cider on tap and if it was dedicated. (It is) but Melissa made sure to double check once I told her I was celiac.

Had the burger, no bun. When it came with potato crispies on top I inquired again (forgot other posters mentioned a dedicated fryer) she confirmed they were done in dedicated fryer. I proceeded to order the french fries.

All delicious. Given the attentiveness and question/responses, its clear they take it seriously. I will definitely be back. But beware, they get very busy for weekend brunch so dont expect the same attentiveness at those times.

If anything changes, I will repost. But highly unlikely given the thought and care they gave me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
