Separate GF menu. Lots of options. Delicious food. Try the Loaded Fries! About 3-6 cider options available and Omission (GF Beer).

Food was delicious and the menu was extensive - especially for an Ale house. I had the tostadas and the black and blue salad. The fryers are shared so avoid fried food. Can’t wait to return!

They had a GF menu but after a few questions I realized anything fried (eg Nachos) are not GF because they are not done in a separate fryer. The server was super nice and knowledgeable but there were only a few things to n the GF menu that don’t have cross contamination. If that’s not an issue, the GF menu had a lot on it.

Went on Friday during a drive from PA to NC. Yes, there is a GF menu, quite long, and a note saying they have a shared fryer BUT as a previous reviewer said, they have a separate air fryer for GF fries. I had the loaded fries, which were delicious. Service was friendly and overall it was a good experience.

OMG! This place made me feel normal again. They have a completely separate Gluten free menu. (Ask for it) I can't have gluten or milk products. The waitress was so accommodating. All of the questions we asked, if she didn't know the answer to, she was more than willing to find out. This is our new favorite place. Seriously, check it out!

Food was awesome! Great dedicated gluten free menu, and a separate fryer! Lots of options other than just sandwiches/burgers with a gluten free bun, although I did opt for the Mushroom and Gruyère burger, and I’m glad I did. I don’t typically eat burgers just because I’m not a fan of buns but this burger was the best I’ve ever had, the meat was HOT when brought out to the table and the flavor was like nothing I’d had before. I loved the broccolini as a choice of side and my husband ordered the loaded fries as an appetizer. Everything was delicious, I wish I had saved room for dessert, they offer a chocolate brownie with ice cream. Nice to see a true gluten free dessert option!

Pretty deserted on a Monday night, but staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Food very nice. Menu warns that fried foods may be criss-contaminated but server said this (Fredericksburg) location has a dedicated GF fryolator.)
