The waiter, Luke, gave my son a gluten free bun for his burger and made sure the fries were gluten free too. He flagged it too. The waiter said his brother has celiac so he takes it seriously. My son was also able to get the gluten free cheesecake with strawberry. He said everything was delicious!

Multiple staff lied to me multiple times about the fries being gluten free. They have a shared fryer and it’s highly cross contaminated. I asked so many times if they were gluten free!

Staff not educated on cross contamination or just liars

Very inconsistent with what is and not gluten free. Told something different every time. Even the managers have no idea what’s going on.

Do not go here. I was reassured that everything was gluten free. After having a full body gluten attack from eating the godiva chocolate cheesecake. I looked up the ingredients online and they dust a cocoa powder on top that us made from a wheat mixture.

We have eaten here numerous times We have been told the fryer is dedicated to fries only Waitress just told us fries are gluten free but the chicken nuggets are fried in it Manager came over to say they are fried next to each other and the bc the baskets are so close especially in a busy nite there could be cross contamination. He also said same thing for the chips and guac. Come on People get this right Its either gluten free or its not. 😡😡😡

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.

I have eaten at CF before, but this time I got VERY sick. I had the Shepherd’s Pie and the GF Godiva chocolate cheesecake. Both were marked as gluten free, but I have seen other comments about the cheesecake. I will not go back. It’s not worth the risk of feeling that miserable.

I went to this location last week and ordered the four cheese pasta. I told her I was sensitive to cross contamination and asked if the pasta was cooked in the same water as regular pasta and if so I would order something else. She said no it is cooked in a separate pot. I was sick an hour after eating it and was sick the rest of the day. I'm not sure if they used the same strainer or if something else happened but I went at a time when it wasn't super busy, lunch and spoke about my allergy at length with my waitress so I just think cross contamination is a problem here.
