I enjoyed yummy gluten free fried pickles and their homemade loaded tater tots. Too bad they are closing for the season as I would have gone back numerous times.

Tried this place for the first time about 2 years ago. Very knowledgeable and they want to know if you have an allergy or celiac’s so they can take extra precautions preparing your food. There is GF fryer so fried pickles, French fries, etc all available! GF buns available for their burgers and sandwiches. I have never gotten sick here. I went back yesterday for the first time in awhile and was told they are closing to build a new location but it will be awhile before they reopen.

Very knowledgeable servers! My girls (and I) felt completely comfortable eating there. They have a decent GF menu and a dedicated fryer. My daughter had GF fried pickles for the first time in her life and loved them! The totchos were great too (although I forgot to get a pic until they were mostly gone).

The bartender/waitress was very knowledgeable about the food and what I could and could not have. Items fried are in a dedicated fryer. I had fried pickles, the caprese chicken sandwich on a gf bun with the homemade gf tator tots. Everything was amazing!!

Great atmosphere and the staff was great. They discussed all of the gluten free precautions they take. The food was absolutely wonderful. They make their own gluten free tater tots in a designated fryer and they reminded me of hush puppies. Yum! They offer two types of breads and I had a prosciutto grilled cheese on a GF bun. It tasted great!!!! Highly recommend this business.

We’re visiting family from out of town and found this gem on fine me gluten free. They have never used wheat flour in their fryer they only use ride flour. So my daughter was able to have chicken tenders and fries and she loved them. The staff was super nice as well.

I have eaten here many many times and it is by far the best Restaurant in the topsail area for gluten-free. They use gluten-free batter for all fried items so fries and tots are gluten-free. The wings can be made gluten-free and every sandwich can be made available with a gluten-free bun. They take cross-contamination seriously and understand allergies.But those with celiac or a gluten intolerance this is an absolute must when visiting the greater Topsail area.

I didn’t get sick but the wings were not very good. Fried pickles were decent. Tachos were awesome. That’s about it.

When eating at the restaurant, the food is very very good. We did order takeout once and we threw most of the meal away. Completely different. Foot was cold, fries were cold and looked and tasted like were refried.

This place was absolutely phenomenal. Almost every item on the menu is gluten free- I think the only thing that cannot be made gluten free is the mac and cheese and their meatloaf burger.

The burgers are phenomenal- TRY THE WESTERN BURGER. First time I had onion straws on a burger in years!

The fried pickles are phenomenal- definitely try them! And ask about the gluten free ciders- they are delish!

Good food! They had a breezeway so we could eat outside with our dogs. I had fried pickles and their totachos. I think they were homemade tots with steak, cheese etc... We also ordered their lamb chop. It was good. This was a great stop and we'll be back.

This place is fantastic! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and they even keep their fryers free of gluten so people like me can eat their house-made tater tots (amazing) and their fried pickles (they use rice flour!!). All of their food is made in house and it’s all wonderful. So glad to have found them while on vacation, we ate there twice!

We have eaten here multiple times and have been thoroughly impressed. Not only do they have GF buns and multiple other GF options, their servers and kitchen have been very willing to make accommodations as needed. After traveling cross country with a laundry list of food restrictions and many problems at restaurants, it is a breath of fresh air to be able to eat without worry or attitude from the server. The decor is very basic and I was initially concerned that special requests would be a problem, but their menu and service are excellent!
