Wings labeled as gluten free but they are made in a share fryer so beware. Had the Mediterranean chicken salad and it was good.

Gluten free hamburger buns are available. Small, pricey burger. Not many side options. Make sure the burger is cooked in a pan because buns are toasted.

Staff was very kind and understood what celiac meant. The bartender served us and he told me a story that seemed to convey he understood food allergies and severity based on a family member or close friend.

Anyway: the important stuff is that I didn’t get sick and the vegan rice bowl is pretty good. I would feel safe coming here again.

Wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Mostly a sandwich and burger menu... all can be GF with the GF bun. Very tasty bun. They will sell you extra GF buns if they have them for $2 each. Order with sandwich is $1 extra. Tried stuffed mushrooms. I loved them; hubby was meh. We both tried El Pastor burger (pork party with grilled pineapple). We thought it was missing something, flavor wise. Perhaps we are just used to beef. Suggestion... would be better smoked. the Rice pudding brûlée was a home run. It’s not on the menu, so ask for it.

The staff here is wonderful. They were really great and accommodating for a GF preference. I HIGHLY recommend the stuffed mushrooms, buffalo chicken dip with GF bread, and the Mediterranean chicken sandwich. Please come here !!
