Wonderful experience and food. I had the chicken teriyaki bowl and a side of fries! I love when I can enjoy an order of fries at a restaurant! My family loved their food as well. I would recommend this place and would certainly return!

We take great care in making sure possible cross contamination is kept to a bare minimum. Our bread is toasted on a separate toaster and our fryer is dedicate to gluten free items only, We make our own hamburger buns and rolls for our sandwiches.

We serve amazing sandwiches & hamburgers with the some of the best gluten free fries you will ever experience. Almost all of our menu items are gluten free except for our mac & cheese, our empanadas and a few other select items. Everything is clearly marked on the menu if it is available gluten free.

So many gf choices!! It was hard for me to decide what to order! 😉 The rice bowl I chose was delicious and fresh. My family members tried the burgers with the homemade gf buns and the fries from a dedicated fryer. Everything was tasty and caused no problems. The homemade gf chocolate chip cookie at the end made for a perfect meal! And the staff was kind, courteous and knowledgeable!

Stopped here for lunch and everyone in our group loved their meal. Lots of GF options here and well prepared. Fabulous grilled chicken sandwich! Ingredients were fresh and perfectly cooked. The veggie burger has excellent texture and seasoned well. Their French fries are amazing and their sweet potato fries are probably the best I've had anywhere. GF chocolate chip cookie is chewy and very tasty. Will definitely be back!

Cute place- lots of gf options! I didn’t realize it was a walk up and order at the counter restaurant so I was not ready to order. My 9 yo son presented his celiac info card to the cashier and she was very helpful with explaining options to us. He got a burger and fries with their homemade gf bun. I got the Tuscan chicken sandwich with homemade gf bread. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! We felt confident it was safe. Would definitely go again.

Soooooo yummy!!! We ordered the Free Range Chicken Family Pack. It came with two large sides and we chose sweet potato fries and grilled veggies. Also ordered a Greek salad. Everything was amazing! Chicken super moist, sweet potatoes were crunchy, and veggies were so flavorful! Salad was fresh. Highly recommend this place!!! So nice to see all sides were gf except the Mac and cheese. Look at the photo I posted of their menu. Shows many items are gf. Their website is not as thorough when listing gf options.

This place is awesome. A Chipotle-style order at counter place with amazing meats, veggies, and gluten-free carbs. Lots of variety, good for gluten-free and paleo diets. They have a natural soda bar with sodas sweetened with agave and cane sugar. Beer, wine, and bar outside. Staff was knowledgeable about Celiac. Kept their GF baked goods in separate case.

Great place to eat. The menu in the restaurant is clearly labeled with GF options (as opposed to the website where you can’t tell as easily how gluten free aware and friendly they are).

We eat at this location a couple times a month and love the Happy Hour menu. The chicken tenders and parmesan fries are my go to and I never have a problem with cross contamination (and I am extremely sensitive). I did try something new the other day (steak chimichurri sandwich) and it was delicious. Only downfall was the gluten free bun crumbles/breaks apart very easily so I ended up eating it as an opened face sandwich.

The food is good, GF food was clearly labeled and there are a lot of options. Unfortunately, my celiac son got sick after eating here. We were clear he was celiac when we ordered and told them that they needed to follow allergy protocols. Because of his reaction, I’m not convinced this place is safe for celiacs.

The fries tested safe with Nima, but the burger on a gluten-free bun tested positive for gluten. There was a strong third line. I suspect the grill is not cleaned. We told them it was for a gluten “allergy” and they said they would change gloves and be careful. If you are celiac I do not recommend eating here.
