Review of The Brutal Poodle

It was my first time and the reviews seemed great. We pulled up and I was a bit skeptical. It seemed more like a bar than a restaurant. It’s a mixture of both. I had the chicken and waffles (OMG SO GOOD. The waffle was fluffy and light and the fried chicken was to die for). I really enjoyed my meal. They have a designated fryer for gf. Also, the owners sister has celiac so the menu was created around her. Almost everything was gf or could be made gf. Their desert however had almost no options as they mostly had flour in them. I asked for any desert and they weren’t sure. 2 waiters contacted their boss to double check that there was no cross contamination and that it was 100% gf. My waiter was super sweet, knowledgeable, and understanding. Love this place. 10/10
