Review of The Dirty Bird Chicken + Waffles

We ate here today but were very wary due to the negative reviews. I think we may have solved the mystery as to why everyone is getting glutened. Apparently the fries are NOT gluten free! After much questioning and perseverance the employee told us that the fries are not cooked in the dedicated gf fryer. This was only AFTER we had ordered and paid for a meal that comes with fries and clearly stated that due to Celiac we need strictly gluten free. I had asked all my questions but still had a nagging feeling as the employee seemed clueless. So I persevered and asked again to confirm. So we then had to change our order to something without fries. So the online menu does not match what is in the restaurant.

The food itself was delicious and feeling fine afterwards. You will have to decide for yourself if you want to accept the poor customer service, unknowledgeable and unfriendly staff, confusing menu, and risk of getting glutened.
