When I asked for a gluten-free menu they brought me what looked like a manual for the cooks. Which was fine because it was comprehensive. It listed every allergy in every food that they serve. So it was easy to find out what had gluten in it. I was able to order barbecued ribs, with a baked potato and broccoli. I had no bad reaction it was pretty good food.

The server was informed on celiac, but I still got glutened. Tortilla strips were hidden in my bowl like they added them, then remembered it was supposed to be without and picked them out.

The server Cherl was very kind and knowledgeable about what was gluten free for my daughter. The cook and staff took all precautionary measures to ensure the food was safe for her. My daughter got the southwest chicken bowl. It was spicy but she loved it and did not get sick.

Gluten free items are marked clearly on the menu. However, not all staff are properly trained on allergies/ cross contamination. I have been here many times, but three times now, I have had glutinous items on my plate. Clearly, communication is breaking down. After speaking with the manager, she advises people with Celiac’s , or any allergy, to ask for a manager to oversee their order.
