I had let my server know I had Celiac. Ordered a burger no bun and side salad. The salad came with croutons. When I let them know I can’t have a salad with croutons, they took it back and I WATCHED the “chef” pick the croutons off and put the salad on a serving tray to send back out. They really don’t know and don’t care about you’re food allergy. Would NOT go back

We had a great experience here! The staff at the host stand were not immediately familiar with celiac, but they got the manager who informed me that they had a dedicated fryer and separate cooking area and utensils. They have a gluten-free menu and all the french fries are GF. Our server was great, and they even proactively redid my daughter’s burger when they realized that the last person to lay hands on the order had not changed gloves. We really appreciated this.

Staff is knowledgeable, no cross contamination. Limited on cheese but that’s okay.

I've only been once (so far), but the staff knew how to handle the gluten free order to keep me safe. They have GF buns and the fries are in a dedicated fryer. The waiter was very knowledgeable and the manager came to check on us later as well. Islands has been added to my list!

One of my go-to places when I don’t feel like cooking! GF buns for burgers and their fries are GF too. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding. They’ve taken excellent care each time I’ve come in to make sure my meal is safely prepared.

The staff was very knowledgeable of our needs for my daughter with celiac. The waitress double checked that gloves would be changed, there was a separate dedicated fryer, and made sure to talk to the chefs and the manager. The manager brought out her food and said that he watched the preparation of all of it to assure there was no cross contamination. They took it all very seriously and I was quite impressed. We will definitely be returning.

While the burgers only come lettuce wrapped they do have a dedicated fryer for the fries. They have taco options and many salads. The staff also gives suggestions and offers to change things up to make it gluten free :) while the list isn't huge it's still nice to know other places have options

Lots of gluten free options on the menu. Had teh bacon cheese burger and fries which were both fantastic.

Went here on a busy Sunday night. Seated right away and rapid service for the order. Then nothing, took 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Food arrived on time, but we had to ask 3 times for drink refills before they arrived. We felt like we were on an island!

Great food and we had a great time otherwise.
