Make sure to ask really good questions and don’t trust the marked menu. We were fortunate that our waiter caught that the French onion dip that comes on the Velvet burger is not gluten free. The au jus mix packet they use in it has wheat. Also if they’re running the gluten free French Dip as a special, they’re using the same au jus mix for that. Fryer is not dedicated, so almost none of the appetizers are actually truly gf. Burger was overcooked. Also they kinda rushed us out at the end, and by the time I realized I hadn’t had the opportunity to order dessert, the waiter was suddenly bringing the check. They’re trying, but overall the food and service were both meh and the GF safety was questionable at best.
The restaurant has gluten options; however, the fries are not considered GF because they cook them in the same friers as other food items that are not GF. However, you can always give their salad a try, which was good. The place was nice and the food was ok
Yummy sandwiches on a GF bun. Tasted great but not the most exciting on a bun - can’t do a lettuce wrap. No dedicated fryer so don’t be misled by the menu saying GF. Pricey but very safe.

I had a great experience here! The staff was very knowledgeable and shared what was Celiac safe and not. Anything fried is not made in a separate fryer (so those GF options aren’t celiac safe), but that is noted clearly on the menu. It was noted on our receipt/order that we were celiac and as a result, everyone in the kitchen knew and we saw that the servers automatically put on gloves for our table. We ordered delicious salads and drinks. Loved it here!
The staff is knowledgeable and kind, but you have to make the severity of your allergy clear to your server! I am a very sensitive celiac and had no reaction to my burger and salad (no bun). Menu is accommodating of other allergies/vegans. !! Be warned that anything fried is cross contaminated !! Get the pickles or hummus instead :)
The waiter let me know they toast their gluten free bread in the same spot as the regular bread, but the salads are great!
The food was amazing. The GF bun was fantastic and it didn't fall apart, but it was soft and light. The staff was so kind.
GF items identified on the menu. GF bread is available for extra charge. The sandwich was good and bread tasted good but fell apart. Also got hummus appetizer with cucumber - delicious. Wait staff was knowledgeable about options. Do not have dedicated fryer.
I came here twice over a weekend and it was amazing both times! Knowledgeable wait staff, good service and amazing food! Would definitely recommend.
The server was excellent and seemed careful. I substituted a salad for fries because of the shared fryer. The food was excellent but I have been quite sick all day. I have not had this bad of a reaction to anything since I was previously given real bread and was told it was gluten free. I question if they didn't substitute the bread.
SO GOOD! It’s a little confusing because they mark all items that don’t contain gluten as GF, but they are very clear that they had a shared fryer. Our server was very helpful, I wasn’t able to get my first choice sandwich, but the second choice was easily made GF. I avoided the fries and chips and had a side salad instead, which I wasn’t super excited about but wound up being surprisingly delicious. I had the Washington on a GF roll and it was phenomenal! Would absolutely go back!
The sandwiches here are delicious and so amazing!! They do not have a dedicated gluten free frier so the French fries and wings are not safe. But the chips were! They have yummy gluten free bread that we had with the hummus platter. GF bread for sandwiches too. Our waiter said the kitchen was careful to change gloves and clean surfaces to avoid cross contamination. We actually ate here twice in one weekend we loved it so much!
Very conscientious and helpful about the GF items. My vegan burger was served on a very high-quality GF bun and was absolutely delicious. The many sauces and dips are all GF.
Absolutely delicious! Had the rose marie on GF bread. Celiac and did not get sick.
We have eaten here 4 times (3 times in one weekend one time) and never had any adverse celiac reactions; one kid is super sensitive. My kids love the burgers AND fries and the sandwiches I’ve had are delicious. I believe they might now have a dedicated fryer for the fries but do t remember. Due to covid, we’ve done to-go ordering and they are great with their take-out and precautions if dining in. I did call in our order vs online to make sure that one kid burger was GF. We will be getting more SSS with a trip to Richmond this weekend and all future visits.
The staff is pleasant; can’t have fried eggplant, veggie burger, or fries/chips but can do sandwiches with gluten free bread and side salads. Good food and felt safe eating it
The staff were very knowledgeable. No dedicated fryer but they did give me a salad instead of french fries. Gluten-free bread for sandwiches and buns toasted separately. Delicious food!
