Probably the best burger I’ve ever had. My server was amazing. He asked if I had celiac, then let the kitchen know before putting in my order. The homemade buns are delicious, arguably the best gluten free buns ever. They also have a dedicated gluten free fryer so no worries about getting fries! I will definitely be visiting this place again!

GF buns baked IN HOUSE. Need I say more?! Place was delicious and the burger was phenomenal. The homemade bun soaked up all the grease. And the fries were great and the serve asked if I wanted them cooked in the dedicated fryer. Legit place for us!

Server said she had celiac and assured me that everything would be made in a separate dedicated gf kitchen. Got a burger with gf bun and garlic fries and they came out clearly marked allergy- very delicious and absolutely no problems. Fabulous.

We stopped in for dinner Thursday with a group and I ordered a pub burger with a smoked chicken breast instead of hamburger. That was a mistake—the smoked chicken was gross—but the bun was amazing and held up really well. Best of all, the fries were cooked in their dedicated fryer so safe, plentiful, and perfectly crispy. Their GF beer is fine but I didn’t like the cider (and usually live a dry cider.) I didn’t have any reaction after, so despite not being the best meal, it was safe.

Selection was very limited when ordering online, but I was craving a burger and they came through with a very yummy cheeseburger. Next time I'm in town, I will try the in-restaurant experience, since based on Find Me Gluten Free reviews it sounds like the selection may be expanded vs. what's available online.

I always worry when ordering online from a place that handles tons of gluten. I had no need to worry with my burger and fries, since I felt no effects of cross-contamination. Would definitely eat here again.

Wow! Such a great place. The Burger and the quinoa sandwich are delicious. There is a gluten free beer (IPA) tasting like a reel beer. The staff is really cool and comprehensive about coeliac people. Lot of fun at the bar.

So good, my server was very knowledgeable on celiac requirements. He checked with the sous chef before letting me put in my order. The sous chef ensured he would take care of it.. and he did, no problems! I will definitely be back for the bacon jam burger with gf fried fries.

I explained my burger needs to be gluten free, so they served me a patty with spring salad topped on it, they forgot the condiments on my burger as well. I was confused and tried talking with the waiter. He told me after the fact that they don’t have gluten free buns and they don’t do lettuce wraps. Over priced for what you get and zero communication between the staff. No apologies either, just a take it or leave it attitude.

gluten free beer, IPA. really good. no dedicated fryers or spaces. gets pretty busy, i’m not 100% sure i would trust it unless you’re getting something simple like a salad. three stars because i don’t like when places label things that are GF when they’re really not.

They accommodate food allergies. I called to ask about their menu and they put the chef on the phone. He said he would accommodate my daughter’s peanut, tree nut, and wheat allergies. She ordered the ribeye with mashed potatoes and fried green beans. We also ordered the pork and grits. Everything had great flavor! So good! My husband loved the beer choice our waiter recommended. This place is awesome and the atmosphere was so relaxed.

I wish they would bring back the gf ale. Not an ipa fan.

EDITED TO UPDATE: I feel they used to be safe and ever since about a year or two ago, they have changed their menu and food handling practices in terms of shared fryer, etc. I only will drink the beer now with extreme caution and since there are other safer, GF breweries in town, there is no reason to go there unless your there with out of town folks. Bummer! I deleted the part about being yummy and celiac safe. I’m sure it’s still yummy, but way too busy for safe celiac measures.

Very little I could eat (they managed to give me a steak with kale chips on the side, that's it.) Also had the gluten free beer.

I got VERY sick. Don't know if it was the food or the beer... they make the beer around a bunch of gluteny beers, so I'm sure it's not 100% safe.

Will never eat here again!

Meh. I was hear 4 years ago and it's more or less the same. They offer gluten free bread for your sandwich/burger and that's fine. They didn't have any gluten free beer (just cider). The food was ok and service was ok. I'd recommend trying one of the many many other places with gf options that Portland has to offer.

I have been told by several servers there that there fryer is not a dedicated gluten free fryer but "gluten burns off at such a high heat so it's safe." That is not how it works and could make someone with celiac severely sick!! They may have other things that are safer but I have to give them 1 star for the misinformation they are passing on!
