Stopped here and was assured that there were gluten free options. There was one soup and a couple of their salads. All meats come pre-seasoned with gluten contains ingredients. We walked out! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!

I've had the salmon several times. The staff doesn't always seem to know what's going on but thanks to "google" I had an idea what was safe and what wasn't. Like many other places their fries are listed as gf but once placed in their only fryer are no longer safe. Boo!!

Waitress didn't know if they had a gluten free menu. She checked and came back with a binder. French fries were listed as being gluten free. I asked if they had a dedicated fryer. She checked with the manager and said NO they use the same fryer to cook wings and a number of other items. I ordered just chips and salsa because they are not very knowledgable

I have eaten here before but I wouldn't exactly call it a wise dining choice for someone with Celiac If they want to feel well afterwards. Proceed with caution.

They have gf options BUT I believe they are called gluten-sensitive. The waitress made sure to mention that to me before I ordered a they are not dedicated gf. She said she had to tell me for legal reasons. I got the fish and fries. I was cautious but didn't get sick thankfully. However, I also haven't been back since then bc I just didn't want the risk. Sick is miserable.

I have celiac and tried ordering off the menu of items that were listed Gluten Sensitive. I told the waitress that I have a celiac and to make sure my food wasn’t cross contaminated. I knew right after my meal that it was cross contaminated. Also I ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad and told the bartender that I have a gluten allergy so no croutons but gave me a bread stick. Like I was only able to eat half my salad since the other side had the bread stick
