You can ask for GF chips that are made in a dedicated fryer. The staff alerted the kitchen of my “allergy” and were all very knowledgeable. Delish enchiladas and rice!!

The long anticipated opening was nothing short of a huge disappointment. Shame on them for not adding a dedicated gluten free fryer. If we ever stop again, it will be Augusta where they care enough to cater to food allergies. Any new establishment not considering this is alienating full families. Will not be at this location again, ever.

My server had little experience with gluten free issues. It wasn’t until I was deep into the menu that I saw the chips were not gluten free. Definitely very different in quality. The original chips were light and white the corn chips were darker and yellower. The rest of my meal was pretty tasteless.

Many gluten free and vegan options. Knowledgeable staff. Not a 100% gluten free facility. Great experience nonetheless.

Do not eat here if you have celiac or an intolerance!! I was already skeptical seeing other reviews and this app never steers me wrong, but went here because of meeting other people here. First they don’t know anything. Waitress said there is no GF menu but the bottom of the menu had a QR code for one that’s on the website. I told the waitress multiple times I have an allergy and she wrote it down when taking my order. I ordered tacos with corn tortillas and again reiterated they need to be gluten free for an allergy. A different girl brings my food out when I asked if it’s gluten free she said yes without even knowing and hands me a plate with flour tortillas. Asked the waitress to take it back and she confirmed they were flour and told me they would make me new ones and that the manager was on his way over. My “new” ones come out only a few minutes later. Had to ask to see the manager who had no idea, and even admitted if it came out that fast they definitely did not make new ones they just transferred everything off the flour ones onto corn tortillas. The manager was nice and took them back and made sure new ones were made but this is one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in my 12 years of being gluten free. Thank god flour tortillas are so noticeably different otherwise I would have been so sick I would have likely had to go to the ER and would have had to miss multiple days of work. This place clearly has zero training or care for allergies and should NOT advertise gluten free. Will never eat here again and I do not recommend anyone eat here if you have celiac or any allergy it is not safe here.
