Not only delicious, but they have lots of gf options (celiac friendly) like beer-battered onion rings and fish.
Fish and Chips...so big
Chocolate Cake
Onion rings...started eating those too
Hamburger...I couldn’t wait I started eating.
Amazing lunch! BEST sandwich/burger I’ve ever had. I got the turkey club and it was to die for. Very accommodating for Celiacs!!!!
GF fish & chips!

This place is fantastic with great burgers and fries, all safe for celiac‘s to eat. And Gluten Free tater tots too! The gluten-free bun is excellent and the service is outstanding. Just about everything on their menu can be prepared gluten-free. I highly recommend this establishment. Oh, and they serve great bourbon too.

Awesome! Over half their menu is gluten free. I got the bacon deluxe cheeseburger on a gluten free bun (which was actually good, not like some gf buns lol), the Parmesan and sweet potato fries, and a hard cider to drink that was canned. I also got a flourless chocolate cake with vanilla mousse for dessert. Would definitely recommend!

They specialize in bourbon, beer and burgers. I went for the burger. I had the cheese bacon deluxe on gf bread. I was worried because the bun was toasted but there was no issue and it was a great bun. I also had the tater tots (dedicated fryer) and they were good as well.

We ate here for lunch today in DC. Based on the reviews I expected this place to be amazing. It almost lived up to my expectations. I had a Porker burger (GF) and my wife had the Tavern (not GF). I also ordered the Jalapeño Poppers, Onion Rings, and my wife got the fries. The Poppers were wonderful, fries were great, and burgers were amazing. The O-rings were just ok. My stomach usually hurts from eating beef but not from lunch today.

We’ll be back and can’t wait to try some other items here. I’d recommend it to anyone who asked.

I had a great experience! I asked to speak to the manager upon arriving and she was very accomodating and answered all of my questions as I also have a peanut and treenut allergy. She even took pictures of the ingredients of the breading they use and the gf buns (Udi's)! Server was also made aware of my allergies and was very accomodating. Dedicated fryer for fries, gf onion rings, and gf chicken fingers. All delicious! Majority of menu items are gluten free. They use rice flour for all of their fried items. Burger was amazing and cooked in a separate place to ensure that cross contamination did not occur. Udi's bun was toasted in dedicated toaster and did not fall apart! I can tell they were very careful while making my appetizer of chicken fingers and my meal of a cheeseburger and fries. If you are in DC, I definitely recommend you try this place. Will be returning my next visit to DC.

Several GF options. I had jalapeño poppers appetizer which was great, very spicy!! Had cheeseburger with GF bun, bun was lovely looking and tasted fine but as with many GF buns just doesn’t hold up to lettuce, pickles etc and fell apart quickly. Next time I’ll just do lettuce wrap burger. Their fries are GF, yumm!!

Celiac safe! My daughter has celiac and I don’t but I happened to also order a gluten free meal and when I asked if my daughter could taste mine the waitress said that probably not as she hadn’t noted that mine should be celiac safe and she couldn’t guarantee that whoever prepared my meal would have changed gloves for my meal. Love it!!!! Bonus-the food was delicious!!!!!

Staff was knowledgeable & friendly, said they often did gluten free foods. I had a turkey club burger & sweet potato fries. I believe the burger was on an Udi’s bun. I came back & had fish & chips, fish tested safe with Nima! Amazing food & I did not get sick either time :)

DO NOT EAT HERE if you are a celiac. My wife ordered a gf salad and it came with bread on it. When we informed the waitress that bread is gluten and that my wife could not have it, the waitress offered to remove the bread. When I mention that my wife was very sensitive and had been in the hospital twice for small bowl obstructions (requiring emergency surgery) the waitress was unapologetic. They finally brought a “new” Salad and 2 hours later the symptoms began and kept my wife in pain for 5 days. Who are the people giving this place 5 stars???

While the food did not make me sick, I sat at the bar and the bartender made my experience really negative and embarrassing, making me doubt the safety of the food I’d ordered due to her ignorance of the disease and refusal to listen to my concerns.
