I came here twice as a friend lives in the area. The first time the waiter seemed confused but I was fine. I thought the bun did not hold up well and it was nothing spectacular but it is a burger joint. I came here again as we needed a quick bite to eat later at night. First of all that time I had the hardest time ordering as the waiter could not tell me what I could eat and kept getting confused. He tried to tell me the fries were not GF as they were frozen and they did not know what the supplier did with them before they got there. Then when my food came out (someone else said to order the fries) I thought the bun was wrong. My waiter argued but I asked him to check. He said it was a regular bun, but not his fault as it was so dark in there he couldn't see my food. I got my "new" GF burger about 10 minutes later. I was afraid of the bun at that point even though it was the GF one so I just decided to eat the patty. I noticed it was very overdone, but then realized half way through, I think they just reheated the one that was on the regular bun! Sure enough a few hours later I was violently ill after only eating a few bites of food. I would not recommend this place to anyone who needs to avoid gluten.

Waiter was very knowledgeable and they took allergies very seriously. Menu isn’t marked but it felt easy to figure out what the GF options were. And the fries are GF!

There is gluten free bread on the menu and I was assured there would be no cross contamination. I had an Impossible burger and French fries. It was good, the service was superb and best of all, I did not get sick.

Dedicated fryer for GF french fries, knowledgeable wait staff and kitchen professionals, and GF burger buns. Even the side of brussel sprouts was GF - the waiter double checked. Had an excellent burger, fries and drink. Can’t wait to go back.

Server knew off the top of his head what I could have and reassured me a million time when he misspoke about something. Seemed like it was very typical to have GF/celiac patrons. Food was great! Cute place
