Very impressed. The waitress asked if it was a wheat allergy and then alerted the chef and said he would change gloves. Fries were made in a separate fryer and they have many gf meals.

They have a separate fryer for gluten-free French fries! I checked and both the location on Topanga Blvd in the valley and the location in Thousand Oaks have dedicated fryers for French fries only. When I asked they did warn me that they can’t guarantee nothing else could ever accidentally get in the fryer because other stuff is nearby in the kitchen, but they said nothing breaded ever goes in that fryer. So I ate the fries and they were good and I didn’t get sick.

Also, if you order through doordash then some items (like the fries) have a button you can check that says “make it gluten-free”!

When I told the waiter I had a "gluten allergy" he just gave me a look. He then said that just means they will give me a flour tortilla and when i started to say something he corrected himself and said corn. Our food took an hour and a half to be served and both myself and the non-gf person I was with got sick the day after. Not sure if I got glutened or food poisoned but either way would not recommend.

Many gluten free options and a very friendly wait staff. I wish I asked the name of our server. She said she’d look after me.

I did order a Pasta and server must not have heard me. When he offered us bread I said I couldn’t have due to being GF diet and he apologized that he had ordered the wrong main meal for me and went straight to the kitchen to correct the order. He was most apologetic. The pasta was the softest I have ever had. The GF chocolate cheesecake was very rich but enjoyable.

Do NOT eat here if you have Celiac. I got sick twice. It is NOT gluten free. Many chain restaurants aren't but I can say truly that I will never eat at this chain again. Ever.
