Great gluten free options and they are very careful. I eat here once a week and I'm celiac and have never had a issue. The staff is wonderful!

We were here today and the food was excellent!! I got a Spud Max and it was delicious.

They have menu items that are tagged as for “ gluten sensitivities “. They have some good things to choose from. It was really good.

For three days after this I had very bad gut pain and other tummy issues. I may have been cross contaminated. That’s the only thing I ate all that day. Bummer.

They mark what items are gluten-free on their menu. It’s not a huge selection but you can get potatoes, nachos, or a couple of soups. While at first the girl at the cash register didn’t seem to know what we were talking about, once we told her what celiac was she took it seriously. She put it in her register that they were to change their gloves then went and verbally told them. I got a chipotle ranch potato, and it was great!!

Edit: 10/5/24 In addition to the potatoes, which are still great, they offer gluten-free bread. The manager is very cautious about allergies, they told me not to get chopped bacon as it can be cut with the same knife they cut bread with, and to ask for whole slices of bacon. Still one of my favorite restaurants to go to!

I order the baked potatoes and salads. The salads are yummy but the potatoes tend to be a little dry due to sparce toppings.

The GF bread is ok. When we went the staff was not aware about how to handle the GF orders or what sauces were ok to order. Bread is toasted on shared toasted. Sometimes they will but foil over it to protect the bread but sonetimes they don't. Last time here manager informed me when they are busy they cannot guarantee that they can accommodate special instructions on orders. Wasnt happy to be told after we ordered but i understand that when busy they dont want to make promises they cant keep. We will not return and do not reccomend foe celiac.
