Great experience! I had a HUGE burger, fries & a gluten free beer. When asking the server about how certain she was that I would be OK she responded 100%! The manager came to serve the meal and I had a sign in my plate stating allergy.

Server was new. When he wasn’t quite sure about the gf status of the fryers he brought over a manager who was able to explain everything. Prior to that happening we were skeptical. The manager put us at ease.

Great selection for GF! I found they even had a sepetate person handling the GF plates from the other non allergy plates. Food is LARGE portions and prices reflect this. Good and service both times were fantastic.

Always feel safe here. Managers bring your food out and it’s marked with an allergy flag. Separate fryers.

I've been twice, and the service and awareness of Celiac has been outstanding. Things come out separately and clearly marked. The food itself is exactly what you'd expect from a place like this, it's good. Nothing to rave about or take down a notch over. It's solid. The service is what will keep me coming in. Can't say enough good things about the staff here 👌

Had the Mesquite Chicken Bowl. Very good. Spoke to manager - he was very knowledgeable (his girlfriend has Celiac).
FYI - the cornflake coating they use does not have malt and is safe.

The chicken fingers are not GF (cornflakes used in batter are not certified gluten free), so everything fried is contaminated.
Mgmt is aware, but doesn't want to change the recipe.

Review
Nachos! Gf
Everything I have had here is excellent. I am very sensitive celiac never an issue if you stick to the gf menu
Review
Staff asked if I had a gluten allergy and the food came with an “allergy” toothpick in it. Large selection of menu items that can be prepared gluten free.
Review
Great gluten free options. It's always a treat to have fried calamari and fish and chips. Really friendly staff and a great atmosphere!
Review
There are only a few items on the whole menu that cannot be made gluten free. The food was delicious! Gluten free clam chowder and gluten free calamari? Count me in! The staff was very knowledgeable about Celiacs and the executive chef brought out my meal. I’d highly recommend this place!
Review
It’s one of my staple go to’s for GF dining. Staff is knowledgeable and aware when presented with the GF allergy warning. Decent amount of menu options for both healthy and comfort food options
Review
We went to Sunday brunch the only option before noon was the buffet. I recommend you wait until noon for menu options. They do have an omelette station that was all gluten free as part of the buffet
The chef came out to review what choices were gluten free on the buffet line he was very attentive and was willing to answer questions. That was an added bonus he was really nice.
If you trust a buffet line there were several gf options
To choose from including the fish and chips
Review
Had some drinks and and appetizer of the truffle tots. It was cooked in a dedicated frier, but when I asked a manager he said they order the tots and he wasn't sure they were gf, very frustrating.
Review
They had gluten free fried calamari, gluten free buns, gf clam chowder, gf sandwiches etc. It was amazing and had great service!
Review
My 5 year old with Celiac got chicken fingers and French fries. There was nothing left on his plate so they must have been good! There were a few other options from the kids menu that he could have had.
Review
Dedicated fryer, items clearly marked on menu and a lot of options! meal delivered by manager after confirming food allergy at table. Have been here 4x so far without a reaction.

I spoke with the manager before eating here because of the mixed reviews. She does not recommend anything on the grill because buns are placed on it. Does not recommend pizza. Shared areas. Anything fried is fine. I had a ceasar salad.

Food was good and I felt fine but small portions for how expensive. 6 wings was $16 I definitely can’t say I’d go back unless a large group was set on it.
