Gluten free bun for the cheeseburgers was fantastic! Didn’t fall apart like most others! I will definitely go back

This is our favorite local restaurant since it has a dedicated GF fryer. We love the buffalo wings, fries and that they can make the kids mac and cheese meal gluten free too. From salads to shrimp tacos to even a GF dessert this is a great place. My kids get to have delicious fries and eat with ease here.

Nous cherchions un restaurant sur notre route de 8h pour l’anniversaire de ma fille. Elle a adoré ces 2 plats 👌🏼✨ et j’ai pris plaisir à vider ses frites tout était délicieux! Un restaurant que toute la famille a apprécié.

My favorite place to go! I always get their gluten free black angus burger and their gluten free fries (that they have a separate fryer for). They have never failed me and the fries and burger always tastes amazing. At the bottom of their online menu there is a separate section clearly stating all the gluten free options!

This has become our go-to simply due to their gluten free fryer. It makes so many menu items accessible, delicious, and safe!

They brought out the wrong meal (not gluten free) before quickly correcting their mistake. Make sure to triple check that your dish is the correct one before eating! Very tasty once I received what I ordered, though.

Have been here on several occasions. Each time the staff is very knowledgeable about the GF offerings. The have a dedicated menu, offer GF buns and a dedicated frier so you can actually enjoy french fries and have no worries about cross contamination. Each time they are considerate and explain it will take a little longer because of needing to get the frier heated. Then they even offer a GF dessert option that isn’t the usual fruit cup or creme brûlée. Only am able to go when I visit the area but I would highly recommend this place especially since I have celiac and have always had great food and great experiences at this restaraunt. Thank you Thirsty Turtle!!!!

I've upgraded my review to five stars because there are delicious gluten free buns, several gluten free beer choices including a dark one on tap, they offer coupons in local papers and an amazing warm gluten free chocolate chip cookie Sundae worth the trip alone. Service has continued to be excellent and I haven't gotten sick!
