Asked for a GF menu, the cashier told me they don't have one but they do have GF bread. So then I asked if all the meats are GF? Three workers looked at each other and the conclusion was "I don't know, probably." Not an educated staff. Not safe!

Staff were uninformed but directed me to the restaurant website which allowed me to easily pull up a gluten-free menu.

Terrible- asked about GF staff has no idea just that they had GF bread. They asked the manager who sent someone out with we can do a Salad no croutons and no dressing. We have been to others that have the menu. This place couldn't have cared. We left. Wish I could leave no stars!!

Newer location with indoor and outdoor (both covered & uncovered) seating. Offer GF bread. The BLTA is a good choice. Both nachos are legal as long as you omit chili. Top with grilled chicken or the ham are both good substitutes. Most of the potatoes are legal, except for the one with beefsteak.

I called this restaurant to see if they had gluten-free available. They said they have gluten-free bread, but none of their deli meat is gluten-free. That does not make sense to me!
