The bucket now has GF buns for burgers, and a new GF cheesecake. Both are excellent!!
They have a good variety of GF food options and are careful not to contaminate. We eat here often and have never had an issue
There was a separate gluten free menu with a good range of dishes offered, including main courses. I chose the chicken pasta dish, and it was very flavorful.
One of our favorite places to go. They'll make a child's portion gf mac n cheese that my daughter loves.
Reviews of this Chain
They no longer have a GF menu. There are a few items that noted as GF (or modified to be) but not many choices. Burgers are pretty good. Their fryer is definitely mixed with other foods and not dedicated GF.
Overall it seems like a place that's conscious of Celiac Disease and makes an effort to provide gluten free food, but maybe is a little lax in their execution and their protocols.
I feel ~mostly okay after eating here, but I definitely do not feel 100%. Got the Baja tacos, with gluten free corn tortillas. When the tacos came out, there wasn't any indicator that the tortillas were corn based and not flour based, which scared me. They ended up being corn tortillas (I think - if they had been flour, I would be much sicker right now). Had to rely on the server for help there, but the server did not inspire a great deal of confidence, and said some things that kind of made my eyebrows raise. The menu did have a few gluten free options but everything was labeled "gluten free friendly" which, I mean, I understand. It is a chain, they serve a lot of gluten food, they can't guarantee there will be no cross contamination, but still, the use of the word "friendly" in relation to gluten always strikes terror in me.
So I don't know. Seems like a lot of people have had great experiences here. Maybe I'm just especially sensitive.
Menu items were clearly marked, staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Very good food, satisfied with my experience.
Best burger ever!! Service was great!
I had the quesadilla and my stomach hurt afterwards. The manager brought out my food and made sure to say it was gluten free
