Pinky’s is my favorite go-to when I’m craving a burger. They have a detailed menu about allergens. The staff is helpful and will always check with the cook if I had questions.

I have to agree with previous reviewer. Allergy menu was difficult to navigate. Waiter was not helpful either. I knew in my gut it was best to leave. I would not recommend.

If I could give zero stars, I Would. Actually probably negative. Good luck translating their " allergy " me up to make any sense. Or finding an employee worth any assistance. Place was cool looking, but my glance into the kitchen told me there are absolutely No measures taken to ensure safety for someone who is GF for Celiacs. Do not recommend.

This is such a cool restaurant! They have a VERY detailed allergen menu. They are very accommodating and knowledgeable about all kinds of food restrictions. The food was amazing! Honestly the best gluten free bun I’ve ever had. I had to ask if it really was GF it was so good! Would definitely go back!

Pinky’s was AMAZING! They have an allergen menu that outlines a lot more than the regular menu. The bartender was also extremely helpful answering questions I couldn’t find answers to. The regular chili is gf! I got two hot dogs w/o buns & potato salad. It was probably too much food, but I indulged on vacation. Delicious. A fun, hip place to grab a bite!

Got a burger with a gf bun. It was delicious! Bun stayed together well. Staff was knowledgeable. No dedicated fryer.

They have gf options and a small gf menu. They offer gf buns for sandwiches but we ordered the street tacos with corn tortillas. Was so good! My daughter gave them 2 thumbs up!!

Didn’t expect to eat coming here. We all know about that celiac life where you tag along with friends and just grab a drink. They have gluten free buns tho! So I got one and a burger with cheese. Felt fine after and it was good. They have an allergen menu which is helpful. Not sure how they do on cross contamination but I felt fine!

Great staff- I mean really awesome! Very friendly! Sean (the GM) said they just rolled out the buns but don't have a dedicated GF menu nor do they have a dedicated GF fryer :-( The burger was excellent and the gluten- free bun was ok. Not the best bun I've had, but hey, they are trying. The bun is local so if that makes you happy to support local eats - then by all means support this establishment. Warning- Eat your burger fast, because as with most gluten free buns they crumble with the last few bites. If they had a GF menu and a dedicated GF fryer I would give them 5 stars
