Clear separation of items. Offers GF buns for sandwiches. Had the wings. No cross issues and we’re good.

I had heard rumor of the great gluten-free options but was nonetheless blown away at the quality when I finally tried it. Best chicken sandwich I’ve had in Colorado Springs, hands-down.

Moose, the cook, understands what service means and had my entire meal completed in less than 4-minutes, as he assured me he would. The tater-tots, fried in gluten-free cooking oil, did not disappoint.

Avenue 19, the venue, is a lovely spot with a great floor plan and acoustics that keep it from becoming too loud, even when packed.

Highly recommend the whole experience.

But keep Moose on his toes and challenge him to beat 3-minutes on ‘your’ sandwich!

Absolutely amazing! Definitely supporting this hidden gem as it won’t be hidden for long. It is a must try if you miss chicken sandwiches being celiac or just gluten free. 10/10 and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Cashier was very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and the dedicated friers. The wings are not GF yet.

Now 95% GF (everything except their regular buns and wraps, and some of their sauces) They just converted ALL of their fried chicken to GF. So now both their fryers are GF, they already had a dedicated GF fryer for their tots. They have a dedicated grill for GF items, and they have GF buns from Outside the Breadbox (vegan oat).

*caution for those extra-sensitive to air quality, you have to walk by Upstate Pizza to get to Firebird (inside, similar to a mall food court)
