The staff is knowledgeable and they go above and beyond to ensure your food is safe. My son with celiac loves the burger on gf bun and the fries from the dedicated fryer.

I LOVE the gluten free rolls, and gluten free pizza. The gluten free mac & cheese tastes great but ALWAYS makes me sick. They also always bring out the manager to talk to me when I order gf which is annoying, but it's nice to know they care.

Love this place! Many gf options, including pasta, pizza, and buns. Best of all after manager comes to check in about my allergy each time I order, they always offer gf bread while I wait for my meal.

Absolutely horrible food. If you think the pizza is delicious, then you don't know what good gluten-free pizza tastes like. I ordered the pizza and it tasted like a cardboard box.... I was so disgusted that I couldn't eat it, so I sent it back for the pasta, which wasn't enjoyable whatsoever - the noodles were crunchy and stuck together. I've had at least a hundred different gluten-free pizzas from various shops and restaurants in different states, and this was one of the worst. Never going back.

Felt very comfortable ordering from here. Although the gluten free options are limited, they are tasteful. When I told the waiter I had celiac, the manager came over to talk to me and tell me my entire meal will be prepared in a gluten free dedicated space.

Had a gluten free bun with my burger and French fries that were fried in a separate fryer. Manager came over to talk to me about it to make sure I was ok with how they were preparing it. Very impressed

Was there twice and their GF pizza was great but the buns they used for their burgers weren't that great, a bit crumbly and dry.

Very knowledgeable. Separate fryer for GF. Was clearly aware of cross contamination. Have GF bread but I didn’t try it. Had the Cobb salad. All good. Hostess mentioned how her friend is celiac and goes there all the time. Felt very safe.

My go to place for a good lunch or dinner. In my experience they have been super cautious with gluten free and even have a dedicated fryer. They have gluten free alternatives to almost everything on the menu.

We were disappointed. After reading these great reviews, we went here. When asking our waitstaff, who checked with kitchen/manager, they said bread is pressed on the grill, so could have cross contamination for steak and other grilled items. She said salad was safest. While it was good, we were looking forward to the burger.
