Asked for a salad no croutons and no cheese and told them allergy... they brought it out with croutons. I explained to them, and they tried to pick off the croutons and cheese and bring it back to me. They don't understand allergies

Staff had zero idea what Gluten is, told me nothing on the menu is safe. Manager and server were rude when I asked and just slammed a binder down for me to look. Which is fine however you don’t need to treat me rudely.

There are a number of choices on their menu that can work well for gluten-intolerant people. Ask the waitress for a gluten-free menu, they keep a notebook that lists all of the allergens in everything they serve.

As part of our commitment to you, we provide the most current allergen information available from our food suppliers on eight common allergens plus gluten and added monosodium glutamate (MSG), so that our guests with food allergies can make informed food selections.

I would bit go here if you are celiac. Wait staff had no idea on anything . They have mislabeled menus including French fry’s as gluten sensitive , cooked in a shared fryer ! Also wondering about the fresh made nachos , Fried ? Also on the gluten sensitive menu. We will not be back. When we showed him the fry’s, he said “ that’s out of my control” . 👎🏾

server straight up told me the store didnt have an allergen menu because they cant prevent allergens. Which -is false- and I didnt feel like arguing for it, so I opted for grilled chicken and mashed potatoes. I didnt feel sick after. Found the allergen menu online. Angry that my server wouldnt even work with me as an attempt to prevent contamination or assist me in finding something GF

The service was great. Their menu has a "GS" next to items that are deemed gluten sensitive. The employees are also knowledgeable about cross contamination and shared friers. I have not had any issues here but it is important to note that there was no true "gluten free" items on the menu, only gluten sensitive so if you are celiac please be careful while dining here.
