Waitress was super helpful and transparent about their allergy policy. Was able to point out all menu items that were GF and that could be made GF. She said they are unable to guarantee no cross contamination, but said they do their absolute best. Haven’t had a reaction yet - ate about an hour ago.

We had a detailed and pleasant conversation about my celiac and options for me. They were great, the food was great, everything was great.

Then I discovered I’d been glutened. It was a bad one, too. I’m never going back: this place just lies.

I was told most of the food on the menu except for the pasta items that they could adjust and make gluten free. There is no dedicated fryer, so French Fries were out. I had the Prime Rib it was delicious.

They specifically read on the menu that if you have Celiac, do not eat here. The food is amazing, though extremely limited for those with gluten sensitivities.

No GF menu, but our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and was able to tell me what was safe for my son and I. She was also helpful when discussing cross contamination. I was nervous about eating here based on other reviews, but overall it wasn’t a bad experience. Didn’t get sick and we had options. Server was friendly and helpful.

My daughter called there to interview with a few questions regarding their safety practices. They said they don’t have a dedicated area to prepare GF meals or a dedicated fryer due to the small prep area. They even go as far to say, “that this might not be the best place for people with food sensitivities/allergies. In this day and age, I am appalled and saddened for all people with food allergies of any sort to not be considered in this establishment. You need to get your menu adapted so that everyone can enjoy your menu. My family members do enjoy Founding Farmers but not if newly diagnosed daughter can’t feel comfortable knowing that her dietary restrictions aren’t taken seriously.

When I informed the waiter of my gluten intolerance he laughed very loudly. Then he apologized and said that the restaurant had very few gluten free things and a lot of bread. I ordered the chia bowl which he said was gluten free, except for the granola. I ordered without granola and asked him to be extra careful about gluten and he said OK. Chia bowl arrived with granola anyway. They corrected it, but this is a word of warning to be extra careful if you eat here.
