Review


I love Betsy and her staff. I’ll be very real here tho. She isn’t celiac like she tells ppl. Her son is neurodivergent & she got him off meds by going gluten free. This is NOT the same as understanding the need for allergy friendly establishments.

The 3 vegan options here for celiacs are: 1- Tasetless nachos (plain canned beans poured over plan unseasoned corn chips with shredded Daiya leaves something to be desired to say the least...) 2- Veggie wrap with no cooked veggies on it & very little protein. 3- Several ‘meh’ salads, of course as always for celiacs. All with unexceptional vinegar based dressings that don’t truly compliment the salad they’re paired with..it’s like they’re served with it just to say they did use a dressing.

Overall my family loves this spot. They’re huge meat lovers. I can’t process meat or dairy.

This place honestly kinda sucks for me if I want to do anything other than snack and get drunk. I get to watch my family while I drool & basically have the same sadness I did when I was first diagnosed. Watching everyone else enjoy the shit outta their meals while everything they serve as vegan is truly subpar compared to the rest of their stellar menu! :(
