Unfortunately, the frier is shared. Waitress/ chef seemed to understand cross contamination and had procedures in place. I had the tacos on corn tortillas. Fairly simple taste-wise but did not get sick.

Almost everything on the menu is gluten free or has the option to be made gluten free. We had a party of 10 for my wife’s birthday (celiac) and were able to order a bunch of shareable apps and entrees that she was able to enjoy! I don’t know how this place isn’t already on Find Me GF, but it’s a gem! Lots of fun activities there too, and family friendly (although they do turn 21+ after 10pm).

The food here is excellent! They have a dedicated fryer and almost anything can be made gluten free. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They also have games, bowling, darts, and so many fun activities! Definitely would recommend coming here!

Everything clearly marked on menu! Labeled as either gluten free or gluten fee modification available. Jaylan was great! We had Cajun skillet and green beans.

Lots of Celiac safe options. One of the shift managers is Celiac and he came over to help us out. Dedicates frier for chips, fries, and other items. Most breaded items are not GF. They were super flexible with my picky kiddo and dis the shrimp tacos bit over toetilla.chips since he didn't like corn tortillas. Online mene says the the Pretzel bites are gluten free but they are not

One downside is the menu is not well marked for GF so you need a knowledgeable server.

GF desserts too.

Gave me gluten-full dish, server was ignorant but apologetic. Ordered shrimp tacos, altered to be on corn tortillas. Waiter correctly repeated my order back to me right after ordering and when he handed me a dish. (I was with a group and our dishes were ordered at the same time, but came out in small waves, and which certainly did not help. I had never been here before and trusted him to be able to tell dished apart. He handed me a plate of breaded, deep fried cauliflower tacos on flour tortillas. I took a bite, immediately knew something was wrong, and began looking around for our waiter. It took another waiter to come over with my correct dish for him to come back. (This all happened at my friend’s birthday party, and completely tainted the experience)

TL;DR- gave me wrong dish, waiter had no clue. Will not be going back.
