This place is so awesome. I hadn’t had coney island-style food since diagnosis but they offer pretty much everything with GF options. I had saganaki (they brought me tortilla chips which were good for dipping), lemon rice soup, greek salad, and a chicken gyro on a GF tortilla that didn’t fall apart. The lamb gyro meat isn’t GF but the chicken was very good. They have so many Gf menu options. I got to enjoy all my childhood favorites and didn’t get sick. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!!

Amazing food, great service, and such a variety of GF options. Our waitress and the owner took the time to show our kids the difference between the gluten free and non gluten free food to make them feel more comfortable. They were very patient with my extremely nervous, anxious children and I cannot thank them enough for being so kind and so knowledgeable of the Celiac world.

Very knowledgeable about Celia and Gluten-Sensitivity. Very kind and gracious and truly take your health seriously. They have a dedicated gluten fryer. Today is my second visit and I feel safe eating here. My first meal was delicious, generous portions and not even a feeling of getting sick. I definitely recommend trying. I truly appreciate their knowledge and kindness.

I go here at last once a week as this is one of the safest establishments I’ve run into. Gluten free bread and buns, a dedicated fryer for fries, and knowledgeable staff. I have eaten here for weeks without getting sick and plan to continue to eat here! Delicious food.

We eat here every week. I wish there was a gluten free menu seperate, but the staff is good at talking through modifications. It just says GF near the top of almost every section. The gluten free fries are awesome. My daughter prefers them over their regular seasoned fries. My go to is the chicken gyro on a gf wrap but they have great breakfast and Mexican food too. Staff is very friendly and carry out is SO fast. They run it out to your car if you want. I rarely post because I am asymptomatic but their food is really good. They do have a dedicated fryer.

I only went here once. It's a funny little place. Essentially a diner with half Greek and half Mexican food.

The menu should *really* get some thoughtful attention. I ordered two things clearly marked "GF" to be informed that they could not be made GF. The waitress was very cautious and ran everything by the cook. She could answer questions about cross-contamination. I was left with the impression that I'd be safe, but I could also just ignore the menu.

Ended up with fajitas, which were pleasant (although spicier would have been nice)

I’ve been eating here every time I’m in Michigan for the past two years. They’re safe and I’ve never had an issue. They had a waitress who has celiac and she helped put protocols in place

Prior post: This was the first non-dedicated gluten free facility I ate at following my diagnosis. Almost the entire menu can be made gluten free. The waitress told me a former waitress got diagnosed with celiac and helped put protocols in place to make the restaurant celiac safe. I still gave the chef my instructions to avoid cross contamination. I ate the botana which was amazing and I didn't have a reaction. I'll eat here again next time I'm in town.

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable of what could be made GF if it wasn’t. Flavor of food was lacking - salsa, soup, nachos,and my wife’s gyro. Shredded chicken was very moist. Everything served hot and fresh - just need to kick up the spices (I’m not referring to heat).
