Always get the cheese curds, Mozzarella sticks, pizza, or fried fish because those are things I can't get other places. Delicious. Never had any problems.

They have a separate fryer and were very good about keeping things separate. The server was very assuring and knowledgeable. They did have a lot of GF options. I had a cheeseburger (w GF bun) and fries. It was not, however, the greatest meal I've had. The bun tasted like it had been either out or in the freezer for a long time (tasted stale). The burger was ok and the fries had a weird coating and were mostly stuck together. I am not a big drinker, but they do have GF drinks as well. If you are one who wants to be able to eat bar food at a decent sports bar, it's decent, but overall, I think there are better tasting GF options out there - it wouldn't be my first choice.

Went here with our two Celiac daughters (7 and 5). The bartender and wait staff was very knowledgeable and made sure to walk through the menu and take precautions to prevent cross contamination. They have a dedicated fryer and the burgers, fries and GF wings were delicious. More important...no one got sick!

Great GF selection! They recently expanded their GF options, and it is great! Great burgers, chicken sandwiches, pizza, chicken wings, and even fish on Friday's that are gluten free!

Be careful!! I have had good experiences, but have also gotten sick multiple times. Got wings and a sandwich on gluten free bread (both labeled celiac friendly), tested with my Nima Sensor and said it had gluten. I would be cautious if eating here as a celiac!

I think I may have just come on an off night. I asked about gluten free options and was told there were none at all because of an issue with the kitchen. After going back and forth I learned the GF fryer was down but apparently I also couldn't get a GF pizza or sandwich? Server seemed very confused and just not at all confident about gluten or celiacs disease. Got a salad, which said allergy on the ticket, but still got sick. Overall disappointing after all the rave reviews.
