Possibly the best burger and fries I’ve had! I would recommend the build your own burger. The bun was fantastic, burger made perfectly and Parmesan fries were phenomenal.

Fantastic fries!!! My Buffalo burger (with optional non-dairy cheese!) was phenomenal and my whole family was happy with our variety of gf and non-gf items.

The organic bison burger was fantastic and the shoe string fries are the BEST anywhere! Irregular burgers are great too, but the bison burger is also organic. The gluten-free buns are delicious. They are so good about accommodating gluten allergy. Love the selection on the menu and all the toppings. Super clean food and taste the best. Service was great oh and they dropped their prices a lot so it's much more reasonably priced than it used to be. They have a full bar and the vibe is great. It's a keeper.

Awesome service, gluten free menu, peaceful and nice place, with outdoor seating as well. Gluten free buns and salad bowls. It is great! They understood our allergy restriction and have a great attitude about it 👍🏻

They have a separate gluten free menu from which you can build your own meal. I stuck to that menu and felt fine afterwards.

Just been told the fries are not cooked in GF oil, despite being on the GF menu. Have been here a few times, mentioned my celiac, and never been told about the contamination risk with the fries, which is disappointing to say the least.

Not good. I went there years ago and had no reaction, but recently I went and got an impossible burger on a gluten free bun with a side of fries. Initially, I wanted to get the vegan veggie burger because meat affects me so I asked if it was gluten free and the server went to check. When he came back he said “it has soy in it so it’s not gluten free” I was super confused and said soy didn’t have gluten and he responded “ok but it does though”. So that was off putting and I wasn’t warned the fries didn’t have a dedicated fryer which I should’ve asked but didn’t think to because I didn’t have a reaction the first time I went. Unfortunately, I ended up getting very sick. I would avoid this place if you have any allergies or celiacs because not only is the staff somewhat rude, but the food will probably give you a reaction.
