I went here not expecting much, probably end up with a salad. Wow, was I surprised! They sent out a point person who mainly handles allergies and talked to me about what my options were. There’s no GF menu but they can tailor it to your needs. They have Udi’s GF buns and a dedicated fryer for fries. So I settled on a Beyond veggie burger with fries and it was delish! They also have GF pasta. I had no ill effects afterward. I’ll definitely be back!

They take gluten allergies very seriously. The manager took my order and brought my plate out. They do have gluten free buns and fries are cooked in their own fryer.

The staff was wonderful about my 4 year old son with Celiacs. He had burgers with cheese off the children’s menu (no bun) but had a dedicated fryer for French fries. They also send a manager to the table to discuss your order. She checked on any item we had a question about. GF ice cream and syrup. Great experience. Everyone is very friendly. No specific gf bread items or menu though.

The chef came out and spoke with me about my dietary needs. I had the anaconda pasta and did not have a reaction.

The waitstaff was amazing and assured us there is a dedicated dryer for fries and chips. My kids are both celiac and extremely sensitive and didn’t have any issues. There’s also a pasta option, but we didn’t have it.

Fantastic experience! Our server has celiac so he guided me through the menu. The manager came to our table and filled out an allergy ticket for the kitchen. This was the best eating out experience I have had since my diagnosis 2.5 years ago.

While they have a gluten free bun and pasta, I find the atmosphere more enjoyable than their food.

My daughter is celiac, had a hamburger with GF bun and fries in dedicated frier. Server seemed knowledgeable. Separte GF menu. I had a salad which was surprisingly fresh. Good experience.
