Had a great experience here. After I told the server I was celiac/severe gluten allergy I was given a separate menu and all food was specified as gluten allergy as it was served. There was a nice selection of gluten free alternatives among their dishes. I had their gluten free crab Alfredo and a flourless gluten free brownie with ice cream for dessert. Portions were generous and food was good. I did not suffer any ill effects after eating so I’m confident my food was safe. Highly recommend!

We placed the order online and they actually called us to verify the GF order. They let us know the fries had gluten traces and substituted them for mashed potatoes.

I always enjoy going here and it's one of my favorite places to eat in Lancaster. They have good gluten free buns and pasta. The staff/chef are knowledgeable and will warn you if something will have traces of gluten or is fried in the same fryer as regular, gluten foods. I have never had a problem here and it's always delicious.

Burger with GF bun and no sauce is always safe here! Mashed potatoes are GF! We were told the fries have wheat particles and to avoid those.

I have ordered multiple times and there was always an issue. The hostess takes it seriously when ordering but the chefs do not seem to always get the message. Plus they have definitely hired different people since I ate here years ago. My boyfriend and I have gotten sick multiple times. Lastly, the prices charged for poor quality and possible sickness is 100% not worth any of it.

Menu has some gluten free options listed (like burger buns) but waiter was also very helpful. Most of the things on the menu (except sandwiches and pastas) are naturally gluten free so I feel like there’s a lot to choose from (just maybe need to omit the sauces). I had a filet mignon with mushrooms and onions, whipped potatoes and broccoli. Everything was delicious and I did not get sick.

Definitely will be back soon to try some of their other menu items.

GF options and explanations how to order it. Ordered a burger on a GF bun. It arrived with all the fixings...including a sauce. I sadly had to send it back and explained to the manager since I don't know what's IN the sauce, I can't eat it. So if you get a burger )or any food from here), specify that you simply want a burger (or cheese burger) without any fanciness on it.
