I especially like the Mediterranean "sandwich"--they substitute GF corn tortillas. (See photo). Great GF Mac & Cheese if you can handle a lot of cheese. I also love their soups and salads. There are many GF options. Really great food!!

Edit on 4/28/2023 The Fish & Chips is amazing. If you go for Happy Hour from 3 to 6, the price is $11. for 2 piece Fish & Chips. They cut their own French Fries, which are delicious.

Delicious fast casual dining! They keep their frier gluten free so you can get celiac safe fries and fries fish. I had the fish and chips and it was delicious. Staff also changed gloves and wiped down surfaces when I said I was celiac.

Delicious food, but not safe for celiacs. They make their baguettes in house, i.e their whole kitchen is subject to cross contamination from flour. They prepare sandwiches (cutting/handling crumbly bread) on the same surfaces and right next to all of their other food, so your salad probably will have a few stowaway bread crumbs. Their fryer is gluten free, but with flour and crumbly bread all over their kitchen, I wouldn’t even trust that.

Used to eat here frequently based on recommendations and reviews but kept getting sick. Really not worth the risk unless you’re not particularly sensitive to cross contamination. If you can handle a trace of gluten… their fish and chips are just sublime! So crispy and tasty! Good god I wish I could trust this place, those crispy, golden nuggets of deliciousness haunt my dreams.

Family of 4 with 3 celiacs - we were thrilled to find this restaurant. Lovely little patio outside and food is great! We ordered from the GF menu and were so happy with the options. Dedicated fryer - fish and chips were excellent! Staff is very friendly. Felt totally safe eating at this establishment.

Wonderful service and delicious fish/chips and cider. My partner had a bacon burger (not GF) and really liked it. Waitress taking our order was knowledgeable about their GF options and incredibly patient as I asked my questions. She even let me examine the canned cider for my own comfort before deciding to order it. I felt really safe and the overall experience was great. Will return.

I did fine the 3 times, when I had the fish and chips. The mac and cheese made me sick the first time I had it. I went back a week later and told the cashier what had happened, and showed her the other review saying the mac and cheese was not safe. She listened closely and thanked me profusely for letting them know.

I would probably trust the first and chips, but the mac and cheese doesn't seem safe and I wouldn't feel comfortable trying anything else on the menu without knowing where the CC for the mac came from.

Amazing gluten free fish and chips. Crispy, good taste, and the dip was a creamy and spicy addition. I'm really surprised that, despite the gluten free dishes, they don't have plain old gluten free bread. The sandwiches and burgers, which take up a good chunk of the menu, could be gluten free if they just carried some bread. But there are several places in town that can make a good GF burger or sandwich so this isn't a big issue. Overall the meal was wonderful.

I deducted a star for taste. Yes, it's exciting to have so many GF options, but the flavors of the food were mediocre. I expected excellent fish and chips, and although juicy and cooked correctly, the seasoning just isn't right. I actually added salt and pepper to the fish and I never do that when I eat out. Fries were pretty typical and a little salty. Some steak fries instead and a little sprinkle of seasoning in the batter for the fish would seriously improve the meal. Still, great to have those options. Cool atmosphere.

This place is great!! I had the fish & chips. Amazing!!! Crispy, crunchy, excellent flavor & texture!!! It's the dessert I want to talk about!!! A cherry amaretto waffle!!!! Oh good grief this thing was crazy good!!!!! A sherried cherry compote on top of an amaretto cream that was amazing on top of a gf waffle that was great by its self!! We almost got another one but figured being over stuffed for the rest of the night wasn't a good thing. Will be coming back to this place definitely!!!!! Not everythi,g on the menu is gf. but they do seem to understand all that goes with this. Very friendly, fast service, & there's a lot to choose from in the gf menu.
