Thank goodness for our waitress Denise. We ended up at this restaurant unexpectedly with a big group. The gluten free menu did not have a lot of choices and did say that it could not guarantee cross contamination. When I spoke with our waitress about the tacos ( according to the gluten free menu it said “all tacos” as they were made out of corn) she informed me they were flour ones now. She suggested the roasted cauliflower and salmon. The cauliflower was delicious but the salmon was so small and very bland. I wish I had taken a picture because it was so small and my entire meal cost 18 dollars. I thanked Denise so much but did tell her they shouldn’t be giving out this menu to folks that need gfree as its not accurate although I know that’s not in her control. I was lucky I ended up with someone who was knowledgeable and I didn’t get sick. I normally plan out the restaurant for myself but I won’t be going back. Barely any choices and overpriced. The rest of my group felt the same way in that their food was just ok and overpriced. Thank you for our waitress!

At first I had hope, there is a gluten sensitive menu. Great, fast seating…. However, we ordered the GF baked buffalo wings. They arrived quickly but were stone cold. The server was very pleasant and tried to correct the problem and ordered new ones that were marked GF. But, when the new GF wings came out it was obvious that they were not baked and were fried and thus contaminated. In addition, there were no main entree options because it was an event nigh; so the choices were either salad or a burger without fries or bun. Staff was very kind and apologetic. Too bad the kitchen does not look at notes made by servers.

They have a dedicated gluten-free menu. Just ask for it when you first arrive. The number of options is very impressive. The waitress was very helpful and willing to accommodate my needs. I ordered some wings, chips, and a cider.

Four stars for the food, and one star for the service. When I asked for a gluten free menu, it took the entire wait staff ten minutes to find the single gluten sensitive menu. I don’t know why they don’t have more than one. I had to flag our server multiple times to order food. She kept walking by and not acknowledging us. My friends said the service is always terrible, but the drinks are good. Fried items listed are fried in a shared fryer, so if cross contamination is a problem for you I would skip those items. I didn’t have high confidence in our server to ring up a salad or burger with the necessary changes. I ordered the citrus grilled salmon. It was delicious! It came with roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. It was the best salmon I have had in a long time. I have a gluten sensitivity and feel glutened within an hour of eating gluten. I felt fine afterwards and would return for the salmon.

Very few to no options. Went here was I was recently diagnosed and waitress straight up asked “why I was there” when I explained my allergy. Would not recommend to anyone, celiac or not.

Hostess couldn’t find the list of gluten free items. Consulted a server who rattled off general guidance that was questionable (stated French fries would need to be substituted for side salad or macaroni and cheese). Having no confidence in ability to obtain a safe meal, we elected to go elsewhere.
