The staff is under new management and a gluten-free menu is still under construction, but if you specify up front that you need gluten-free food, they’ll go above and beyond to accommodate you. Most of their menu items can be adapted for gluten-free people, and they’ve been very careful to avoid cross contamination every time we’ve been here. If you ask for the owner, Rod, he’ll be happy to put something together for you. If you bring your own buns/bread, they’ll toast it up for you and serve you a sandwich or burger. If you forget the bread, don’t worry about it; they’ll serve it without a bun. Blackened shrimp and catfish are delicious, as is the open face and zac’s Alabama chicken thighs. There’s a wide variety of options, and they’ll often offer something special off-menu if they have the ingredients on hand. Only major drawback is the lack of a dedicated frier. While there isn’t a true “dedicated kitchen space” the staff have been very diligent to avoid cross contamination when the allergy is specified. Also, there’s a wide variety of delicious gluten-free drinks available too, including angry orchard’s gluten-free hard cider.
