Absolutely THE WORST I have had in a long time. All the items listed as Gluten Free really aren’t. HUGE cross contamination issues….shared fryers….staff wants to be knowledgeable and communicate but the issue is they don’t really understand….our waitress ask if I had my epipen just in case….on a positive note the toilet was clean enough to vomit into upon eating my cross contaminated meal….if you like to play Russian roulette this is your place….if you would rather not RUN QUICKLY in the opposite direction.

I ordered my burger with a GF bun and my friend ordered a regular burger. I noticed my friend’s bun looked a lot like a GF bun so when asking the server, she said “can’t you just switch them?” I told her I was allergic and would need a new burger. She acted very inconvenienced and was pretty rude honestly. Do not recommend.

There is a possibility for cross-contamination as they do not have separate fryers or separate cooking area. However, the wait staff are great at communicating between guests and chefs and they can help guide you through the menu selections!

Their food is amazing and they change up the menu selections every season! Although they do not explicitly indicate gluten-free items on their menu, you just need to read the descriptions and ask the wait staff. They had fabulous meatloaf...yes, meatloaf!

My parents go to Rapture every week for their date night and will always return because the staff are amazing! After my mom (a celiac) communicated to the owner and wait staff about her restrictions they put all their effort into giving them a good dining experience. Now the whole restaurant knows my parents’ faces and the wait staff know exactly what drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts to offer my mom. The owners stop by the table to check-in every time! I cannot give this restaurant enough praise!

Service was alright, the GF options were very limited and the choices I had were on the pricey side.

Wow. Very accommodating. GF clearly marked on the menu. Wedge salad and Shrimp and Grits were phenomenal. EVERYTHING is made in-house and from scratch. A must-go place.
