Review


Not great with allergies: I am gluten free and nut free. Despite having "gluten free" french toast on the menu, my server told me that the kitchen could not even attempt to make french toast without cross contamination if I had celiac.

Apparently the grill is shared and she said they wouldn't be able to clean it off? I haven't had this happen to me before in a long time. Kitchens usually can at least attempt to accommodate allergies even if there is still a slight risk of cross contamination (which I would have been totally fine with).

I'm glad she told me that the kitchen couldn't make it gluten free because it was better to find out then rather than get sick later. Almost everything was cooked on the grill so basically the only option for me was a salad :( .

My party's food took a while to come out. The food was decent overall, but two people I was with ordered a side sausage and were only given 3 individual sausage coins for $3. When we complained about it, they seemed annoyed and rather than taking it off the bill they provided 3 additional sausage coins to split between two girls. At least it provided for a pretty comical moment I suppose.

Overall, I am giving a two star review because of the extremely poor attention to allergies. For many of us, celiac isn't a fad diet. It really sucks when a menu misleads us to believe that there will be options for us when there won't be. If you are going to put the "gluten free" label on the menu you should do your very best to ensure that you mean it.
