No gf options. The server wasn’t even sure what gf meant. Fries are beer battered, so even a burger with no bun and fries wasn’t an option. Ended up sharing a salad as a last resort.
Update: February 2017. They no longer have a gluten free menu.
Update: October 2016. I ordered the grilled chicken tenders with honey buffalo sauce off of the gluten free menu and confirmed the gluten free status and careful preparation with my server. However, after I had eaten a couple of chicken tenders, I noticed there were fried bits in the bottom of my plate. It was too late as I had already eaten half my meal. I was sick all afternoon. I'm hoping it was a fluke but will be extra careful if I make any future visits there.
Extensive gluten free menu and very knowledgeable staff! Not to mention delicious food!! My waiter actually made the kitchen remake the spinach dip prior to serving me because he knew it had been cross contaminated with tortilla chips. FYI they serve the dip with carrot and celery sticks to make it gluten free and it was amazing! I'm celiac and I enjoyed a delicious meal and did not get sick. Will definitely be back!

They did have a Gluten Free menu, but there were no gluten free substitutes for things like bread, buns, pizza crusts. I ended up eating a salad with no croutons & added salmon. Both were good. But.... sadly, this is my choice at many restaurants that don't offer substitutes.

If you are Celiac please avoid at all cost. Met some friends and I am having a side of mashed potatoes... no baked potato or anything. Everything is breaded and fried... even the French fries. HARD PASS
Definitely skip this place. Waitress was confused when I asked and had to ask the manger who told her the only thing safe was the salads. 🤦🏻♀. I ordered a simple grilled chicken salad and had terrible pains all night. Never again.
Waitress was fine, I've been there twice but they don't seem to understand the severity of needing to make sure my salad has no croutons... There's not many options. Maybe 3 options? One is a salad, the others are expensive.
When we sat down we asked the hostess about a gluten free menu or options and she said she would ask the manager. When the waitress came to take our drink orders she asked if we had asked about gluten free options. She told us that nothing on their menu could really be considered gluten free and they don’t really do that. She was nice but seemed annoyed at the request. I got a grilled chicken cob salad and it was pretty good and at least pretty low gluten but more than likely had some cross contamination.
The waitress tried her best to make sure my meal was gluten free. Unfortunately it was not. All of the sauces are made in house, but the kitchen staff was unsure what was in it. Wouldn’t recommend
