I was really disappointed when we went here. While I like the fact they have gluten free options, I think the portion size compared to price is absolutely absurd. Beyond that, both mine and my husbands meal were entirely flavorless and when I asked questions about ingredients for another allergy the cashier/server had a really hard time answering them which then made me fearful of eating. We personally won’t be returning.

Great Place with a lot of GF Lunch Menu. I just deleted breakfast because we just had the worst food. Eggs over cooked, GF pancakes burnt. I canceled this off my breakfast place for now.

I was on my way out of town and needed some food to fuel the trip. Needing to find something with GF options and seeing some reviews I happened upon this place that I would not have otherwise known about since it is invisible from the road (or to the naked or out-of-towner’s eye). What a lucky find! It’s clearly a regular spot for people in the know around here based on my quick scan of the room, which was 3/4 full at 2:00pm on a Sunday. We sat at the bar and got knowledgeable, friendly service. The menu is clearly labeled for GF (though strictly speaking it is a shared kitchen) with GF options for substitutes in some cases. I had the Panang Curry as I know Thai food to be safe and it was delicious. All of the brunch/breakfast dishes I saw going out to the surrounding tables looked mouthwatering. This place is a hidden gem!

While the menu for lunch/dinner was identified, the breakfast one wasn’t and the server didn’t seem to know/nor was he interested in getting any info for me. After having to ask him multiple times to check with the kitchen, we verified that the GF pancakes were made on the same grill, as was everything else. His suggestion? “Fruit, unless they have some of the fruits with glutens in it.” 🤦‍♀

Good kids meals options. Macaroni and cheese was somewhat disappointing, basically penned with melted cheese not at all Creamy Mac and cheese. nice that there are so many healthy options, but not much flavor to anything.

The food was delicious!! My daughter was excited to have gf Mac n cheese. Great selection on the menu. Our server, Eric, was helpful and patient. It was more expensive than we were expecting, but always worth it to feel safe eating out and bonus for good food.
