I had a reaction to the dinner, very bad service too. They seemed confused when I told them about wanting it gluten free.

We had 3/5 of our party that was celiac. We told server and they made sure to tell us that for the most part menu items could be made gf. They even have a button when ordering that they can punch celiac. The kitchen staff bright out of food separately. We shared a fajita, enchilada and grilled shrimp salad. We had ordered something else and were told it wasn't safe. None of us got sick. I can that a win!

They understood what it meant to be celiac, they put in a special order of GF chips for salsa, and Made a special note to the chef. I did not get sick although I was expecting to. Delicious!

The waiter told us there was absolutely nothing gluten free - not even the chips and salsa. My husband went to check with the manager because he didn't believe him...the manager confirmed there was nothing gluten free on the menu! I think they were just being lazy. We were there with a big party, and we could only have drinks.

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.
