When I went I was told that I could only get a salad, so I ordered the Caesar salad with no croutons. However they brought it out without any of the cheese as well. I ended up with just lettuce, and like 6 bites of chicken and that was it. So while it is very safe, it is not recommended for people who want to get a good meal.

Regarding GF, this ok but I won’t seek it out again. Burger with gf bun. GF buns are usually better warmed unless they are fresh, this one was slightly warm. Shared fryer, so no fries. Salad option, coleslaw option.

Service and experience. Move on! I should have moved in when we were ignored at the door for 10 minutes. But we went ahead and we’re sat at a table in the upstairs corner. Long long wait for food - 1 hour - and half the order came before the other half. Yet, bacon on my gf burger was cold, had to send it back. Burger was undercooked and cheese not melted. All signs that the gf meal was an after thought. I also bit on something hard in my burger, looked like a small piece of plastic or chip of plate. Gross. My child’s burger, not gf, perfectly done. They gifted us two deserts for the wait. This was among worst dining experiences I have had in awhile anywhere.

Great service! We were with a very large group and two people had gluten allergies. The servers took extra time with us. Due to covid, they are not at full capacity in the kitchen. We could not get french fries or gluten free dessert. The food ordered was very good.

I called ahead and spoke to the manager to ask about how safely I could eat at this restaurant gluten-free. He assured me not to eat the fries as they recently switched brands and they would have wheat - and now the fryer would be cross contaminated, so don’t order wings

I asked his name and if he would be there and could babysit my meals since I am driving seven hours tomorrow

The manager was leaving - and yet he share with the next manager name Sam

When I arrived, I met Sam who had told the kitchen staff and bartender of my sensitive food allergy

I have had to eat this way for 19 years - and I have learned how important it is to talk to a manager and stress how important it is to eat out without cross contamination…- and yay! I had a great pulled pork sandwich on a GF bun with mashed potatoes and it was delicious and I didn’t get sick!

GF burger was awful. Avoid for a proper meal. Wings were nice but the patty from the burger is one of the worst I’ve had. Go elsewhere!
