They have a gluten free brunch menu-this was exciting! They have been trained in cross contamination (he used the words), new utensils, and my order was marked GF 3x with allergy3x as well. I had the Parates bravas bowl which was breakfast potatoes, chorizo, shredded pork, greentomatoes, paprika, garlic aioli, eggs, cheddar and feta cheese. It was good. Interesting combination of the feta with the chorizo, felt a bit indifferent about that. They had two gluten free beers to choose from. Had the Green‘s triple ale. It was delicious. Also, what a great surprise, here I was prepared with my own GF tiramisu that I picked up from the GF bakery but they had a flourless chocolate torte!

I came here for brunch and was really happy! They had a separate gluten free menu with a bunch of options to choose from. I got the eggs Benedict which was served on a gf udis bun. I felt safe and would recommend trying this place to others in the Celiac community!

Had a separate gluten free menu (including drinks) with lots of options! I got the Sprocket burger with an Udi’s bun. Fries are “technically” gluten free but don’t have a separate fryer, so there’s cross contamination. However, they offer breakfast potatoes as a fully gf option!

Lots of seating but 15-20 minute wait for rooftop patio for Sunday brunch. However, they had street level outdoor seating (covered) available, and the place is just huge inside!

I ordered a salad to go and did not get sick. The salad however was expensive and bland (unseasoned chicken, dressing). It was pretty sad.

I ordered a gluten free meal and was assured that they take measures to prevent cross-contamination, but I got sick after eating here. The food was just okay, not worth the price or the risk of getting sick.

Good place. Had some beer and cider options, and decent food. No deserts though and not too many choices food wise.

The atmosphere was pretty cool and the staff were friendly and knowledgable

Had a chicken burger with salad instead of fries since they dont have a dedicated fryer.

Would definately go again.

We ate here for dinner back in January. We came in early before the dinner rush on a Friday night. I told the wait staff when we walked in that I wanted a gluten free menu, before they even sat us. Then I made sure to tell the waitress I needed gluten free. I had one of their gluten free salads, with the goat cheese taken off (I have tried to like it, but just not my thing). The salad is very filling and delicious. I had no issues with gluten exposure on this visit. I always go with the theory of remind, remind, remind because there are probably 3 or 4 people involved in food prep between you ordering and you getting your food.

A great atmosphere down in the third ward for dining. Even better during the summer with the walls up and open air. Thankful to have more gluten free options available!

I was so excited to try this place based on the reviews. I explained to the server that I had celiac and ordering gluten free was a necessity, not a lifestyle choice. She seemed on board, so I was surprised when the mussels I ordered to share came out with bread in the pot. She took it back and ensured me that she let the kitchen know again about me having celiac. I was getting a little nervous and should have just left. She then brought out my burger and there were a few fries on the side salad. Since the fries aren't gluten free (no dedicated fryer), this was a no go for me. If they were careless enough to leave gluten food on my plate twice, who knows how many times gluten could have touched my food in the back. Unfortunately, it was too much of a risk for me and I left without touching the food. My husband spoke to the manager who was very apologetic. He comped the mussels and burger. Hopefully they will learn from the incident and serve others safe GF food.

GF menu, GF beers, GF ciders. Great service and food. Had "the sea plank" appetizer and it was great. Had the "sprocket" burger, and aside from the usual bland Udi's bun, it was very good. They find a good, local, GF baker to make some buns and it'd almost be like eating real food again. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing. I am visiting from Cincinnati and it's always tough venturing out and worrying whether you'll be able to get GOOD food and not get sick away from home. This place has an extensive GF drink list (all GF, none of that Omission stuff... Ahem... "Gluten removed"). I would recommend for sure!!!! I had a New Grist beer, the tomato basil soup, and roasted hickey entree. Prices aren't bad either!!!!!
