I second the last review - after I let them know it was an “allergy,” they told me they toss flour items into the French fry fryer that is supposed to be gf when busy, and they don’t change the oil daily (so even if they hadn’t done it during their shift, it could’ve happened the previous night) However, when I’m in the area and am desperate, I have stopped in if they’re not too busy and asked if they happened to have changed the oil during the current shift and are confident that there has not been any contamination, and I’ve eaten the fries when that’s the case. At the very least, staff tend to know what they’re talking about, and they do have gf bread.

DO NOT GO HERE! They say that there is a gluten-free fryer, but when pressed, they stated that when they are busy they will fry anything (gluten stuff) in that fryer. They did not disclose this until I pushed. No staff seemed knowledgeable about celiac.

I went here based on positive reviews on this site. I am so glad we ate here! I had a delicious hot corned beef sandwich with fries. And even though there's no gluten-free menu, our waitress was excellent and told me that they know what to do and I would be fine. There is even a dedicated fryer. She was right. I will certainly be back! I react very violently to gluten as I have celiac and I was just fine!

Very nice wait staff had a list of allergen options and told us they offer a gf bun, kind of like a brioche. They also have separate designated fryer!

Ate here for the first time since going gluten free. According to our server, there is a gluten free bun available. However, I went with wings and cheese fries. The wings are a rip off - they are teeny tiny! And expensive. Almost $9 for five tiny wings with barely any meat. If you are sensitive to cross contamination I would avoid.
