Regular menu has several items marked as GF or can be done GF. I had the black bean nachos, which were very good. A lot of burger options (looked good)--they offer an Udis GF bun at upcharge.

There are definitely a lot of options, but there is no dedicated fryer, so most of the “gluten free” items in the menu aren’t truly gluten free. If cross contamination is an issue for you like it is for me, then you’re more limited than what the menu shows. However, all the food you can have is delicious, and they usually have gluten free desserts. I feel confident eating here.

The place is cute; rustic and appealing. Our server was super friendly and helpful! But the place is not celiac safe... unless you eat meat or want only a salad. I have the alpha-gal meat allergy, so ended up having only a drink and leaving. No separate fryer so all of the nachos and enchilada dishes are NOT celiac safe, even though they say 'gluten free' on the menu. Same for the fries. A separate fryer would really help this place!

Great food, great atmosphere! Owner has a wheat allergy so she understands the importance of GF and/or cross contamination. Do not have a dedicated fryer for fench fries but offer rice as a side. Great hamburgers with Udi's bun. We'll be back!!! Great beer selection as well 🍻

Found this place on this app after traveling and calling several others in the area that were no longer open or only has salads. The outside has a lot to be desired but atmosphere inside was very charming. All gf items are marked on menu with options. There were even dessert options. Food was great!

Very friendly service and a laid back atmosphere. They had a variety of gf drink options and I had a delicious apple hibiscus ale that is made locally. They also had two great gluten-free dessert options. I would highly recommend stopping at this place.

Menu is labeled with a lot of gluten free items. However, they use a shared fryer. So all the fried items that they list as gf aren’t really gf. So, I’d say it was a bit of false advertising.

Again, lots of items marked gluten free, but are cross contaminated in the cooking process.

Menu is marked with gluten free items. The food is great! No dedicated fryer for fries, so I would not consider gluten free. Hamburger and salad didn't hurt me. Waitress knew about celiac and was helpful.
