The waitress seemed knowledgeable and friendly. She gave me a gluten free menu, which was helpful. I opted for a safe item, the Strawberry Patch salad. It came out marked with a frilly toothpick (my non-gf husband’s didn’t have the toothpick), so I felt like they had protocols in place. I subbed blue cheese for feta (just a preference) and got the Sweet Onion dressing. I’m not a big salad person, but thought it was very good.

No gluten free menu. Staff not knowledgeable. My meal came with a large piece of garlic bread on my plate after requesting no bread

They provided a menu to assist in selecting a gluten free meal. However, most of the items were fried or likely used shared cooking surfaces. The item that I figured was the safest was the Double Eagle Salad. I had no reaction!

My 14 year old daughter went to Clementines April 2023 and asked if there was a gluten free menu and the waiter told her there wasn’t.

Great gluten free hamburger! The fries are cross contaminated but I was very happy with that burger.

Nothing was marked specifically as gluten free, but the waiter was knowledgeable about what my options were. Amazing salads and the nachos were great! Good customer service.

They have a gf menu but have a disclaimer about not having a dedicated fryer. I ordered grilled salmon and it came out with garlic bread. I got sick. The staff did not seemed trained at all for dealing with gluten sensitivity.

They have gf menu which is very clear. A gf fryer would be the only thing that would have made it better.

They have a separate gluten free menu with that has a nice variety. They also have gluten free buns that are generous in size. I believe additional items may be ok to eat that are not listed on the gluten free menu with minor modifications if you are only sensitive.

I ordered a steak which said their white wine shallot butter was NOT safe, so I ordered without. it came out with it on the steak so I sent back- the cooks fought with the server about if it was or wasn't safe. They didn't want to make me a new steak but finally did but I had to get a box by the time the whole fiasco was done because my 2 babies were done, upset and crying. The server was very knowledgeable and accomidating but I just wouldn't trust it with the cooks not knowing.

Our experience was very poor here. Beware if you are a celiac!

Despite having a gluten-free menu, their staff is still very untrained. When we asked questions to the server she said she would ask the cooks, but never returned before serving our food! We had asked how salmon is cooked and if it could be cooked in a separate pan instead of the shared grill to which she said that should be fine. However when the food came, there were grill marks all over it with no explanation of why.

Additionally, ingredients that are on the gluten-free menu they did not put on the sandwich because they thought it may not be safe. Why would you put an ingredient on a gluten-free menu that you don't feel is safe?!?

We ended up getting the meal for free because it was such a disaster, and we will not be back.

Menu has been updated to include gluten free bread option. There's also a separate gluten free menu available. Bread was delicious. Food is always good.

Food was good but I did not find it as Celiac-friendly as others. Other than a reference to "gluten free bun available," I did not see any reference to safe/unsafe foods. Furthermore, my waitress was either not knowledgeable about or not interested in helping with gluten questions.

They are really great about keeping things gluten free. Although it's a shared kitchen space, I've never had an issue eating there in the last 3 years and have never been glutened. You do need to tell the staff that you have Celiac Disease etc, so they can alert the kitchen staff and the fries are not prepared to be gluten free but the cheeseburgers are so good that I could care less about the fries. Highly recommend eating here if you're in town

Phenomenal restaurant. Food was excellent. Waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten-free choices. My only gripe was when the food was delivered, there was a big slice of garlic toast on the dish. I noticed other people that left reviews here indicated a similar problem. But outside of that, this was an excellent experience. So much so that I still gave it a 5-star rating.

Service was great. Food was delicious. Menu clearly states what items should be avaoided and which ones are safe. The problem we had was the kitchen staff put garlic toast on the gluten free plate. There was a different person that served us than took our order. However our server turned around from assisting other diners and quickly stated that the person who served us to remove our meals immediately and return to kitchen and to have cooks prepare a new plate not just remove toast as it is a Gluten Free meal. Although we had to wait it was worth it.
