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!

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
