Blown away by how good the service and food are here!! I have over 20 food allergies so that is difficult to manage for any restaurant. The manager came out and spoke to me personally about options and double checked on the ingredients of everything with the head chef to make sure I was able to eat my meal safely. They reassured me they clean surfaces, change utensils and tongs, and make sure there is no cross contamination.

I got the brisket with no sauce due to my tomato allergy, and they made a special side of vegetables because I was allergic to some. So tasty! With the meal they also brought out samples of the meat safe for me to try. Will definitely be back again. Best service I’ve had since getting my food allergies. This is my new favorite.

Asked the server if there were gluten free options and I was told yes. A manager came by and explained the menu to me. There is a large variety of gluten free options including sides and beer. I had pulled chicken, greens, mashed potatoes and an angry orchard hard cider. Food was delicious and the staff were super accommodating. I never got sick.
