I loved the food unfortunately I got very sick from eating here. It was a wonderful experience but something was not done right. I would recommend eating here but definitely have the staff double check your meal. Love this brewery though so much fun!

Unfortunately this place did not do a good job for me. My friend and I ordered fries, and requested her non-gf lamb on the side and my gf chicken on the side. The kitchen brought back both on the same plate (defeating the purpose). The waitress reassured us that the fries came from a separate frier. However the kitchen must not have been careful, because now, a day later I feel sick. I understand that the owner has Celiac and they are used to dealing with these requests, but there is still some risk here and were not careful enough. I cannot personally recommend the place.

Celiac

When they brew their beer in-house, it’s gluten reduced. When they have it contract brewed, it’s not and still contains regular gluten levels. Make sure to ask before you order!

Felt so comfortable here for dinner. The owner has Celiac and the staff is very knowledgeable about gluten free needs and cross contamination. We had great falafels and I had a kebab and rice bowl that was really good!

Delicious food, most of the items are naturally gluten free. There’s also plenty of dairy free options too. Also, the patios a plus :)

Tough to review. Waiter great and honest. Personally won’t risk the beer as celiac so had wine. Dedicated fryer which is why we wanted to go but fries not great. Meat over cooked. Loved the environment and feel safe eating here just don’t think the food was that great even though safe.

This place is the best!! Celiac safe food and BEER. Not just one - lots of choices. It’s been an age since I got to order a beer flight! Our 6 year old liked the chicken skewers and they offered to sub fries for the rice for her.

This place was amazing. I came here with my family after seeing the good reviews and it definitely lived up to those reviews. Everyone loved there food including myself (rice bowl with chicken) and their beers brewed themselves are gluten free and so good. The waiter understood about CD and cross contamination and the chef brought my food out personally first. I felt very safe eating and drinking here. I’ll be coming here again.

The staff was super helpful and the menu is clearly marked. When they brought out our food they said they took extra precautions while cooking our food to ensure there was no cross contamination. They cook their fries in a dedicated fryer as well! The food was amazing would highly recommend!

Has a good amount of gluten free options, all of their beer is gluten free but we still stuck to the cider. The staff was very knowledgable and warned us the fries are not gluten free on the weekends because they cook fried chicken in the morning and reuse the oil. The waiter checked with the chef to verify things were gluten free for us which was great.

This place is wonderful!!! The Brewer is Celiac! I've never tried GF beer because I was too afraid. I had a flight here yesterday afternoon and feel fine today. lots of gf options on the menu and the staff is knowledgeable. As to the reviewer who ate tabouli and got sick...tabouli ALWAYS contains gluten, and I say if you have a disease you should be well-educated about it and not entirely depend on others. Google is your friend if there's ever a question about whether a type of food usually contains gluten, and then you just avoid it. Long story short, this place rocks! the deck has ocean views, too. So happy with our experience that I bought a T-shirt!

Lettuce bowls are awesome. All amplified (house) beers have no detectable amount of gluten in them.

I am really upset after eating here. The girl at the front desk assured us of what was and was not gluten free. She even checked on some items. Two out of four of us ordered the tabouli which she checked and told us it was gluten free. Dinner ended and two of us did not feel well at all. When we got back to our hotel I called to check on different items. The tabouli was not gluten free. This kind of carelessness is really upsetting. It's our first night of vacation and we're sitting in the hotel room sick. What's too bad is that we ate here last year and had a great experience. Waitstaff really should be educated on allergen issues and take them serious.
