Steer clear of you're highly sensitive! Their claim of the GF bun or bean soup being GF is in question. Later that day I had all the symptoms of being glutened. So, they either didn't use the GF bun they said they had (Udi's) or the bean soup was not GF. I suppose it could have also been cross contamination (I did inform of celiac). Any could have been an honest mistake, but the consequences are still being felt 2 days later.

Overall the food and service was great. It's unfortunate my body reacted to it.

Have eaten here twice and both times very sick afterwards. Both items were labeled gluten free but clearly were not: hamburger and turkey club (no bun). This place has a nice location and service is great; I just wish I could tolerate the food.

The menu has a lot of GF options. Most options say they are made where cross contact may occur but there are other options that cross contact should not occur. Great to see the knowledge on this for a celiac. My food was great and our waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac.

Was impressed with the amount of GF options here. Will definitely be back. I ordered the rueben and the burger…because well leftovers. Haha. But they were both really good and I didn’t get sick. The GF bread and bun were delicious. I explained that I have celiac and was treated nicely and she was knowledgeable!

We have ordered from here several times now and have enjoyed it every time! A solid 75% of the menu is (or can be) made gluten free, with exceptions to the brunch menu (to my knowledge). The staff has always been kind, the food is delicious and it’s a gem in our local area!
