Review
I agree with Julia’s review. They shouldn’t be listing products that are contaminated as GF. If they share a fryer and actively putting wheat in that fryer, the « GF » food is not gluten free. However, they do offer some safe dishes for celiacs. I had their pizza and s’mores bar. They did a trial GF pizza day and it was busy! I am really sensitive to cross contamination and did not get sick. I think if they want to really feed celiac and GF customers, they should get a small GF fryer. I would probably buy one for them, just to 1) be able to eat their delicious food and 2) to save people from getting sick from « GF » food that is not free of gluten. They definitely need to take it seriously. Even though I love this place overall, it does keep me from going there.

Review
They say they have gluten free options but they are fried in a shared fryer, they also continue to call their food GF despite me mentioning food that is in a shared fryer is not gluten free. It seems they do not care about the actual gluten free community and just being able to label something “gluten free”.
When I went, they offered to make me my own mini fryer, which is special. They do not usually do this. If you are actually gluten free, do not eat their gf food.
I loved going here, service was fantastic, it makes me really sad they have decided to ignore my warnings about being transparent and at least labeling their GF options correctly (shared fryer).
