Review of The Hop Yard

I was so excited to try this once I saw the great reviews! I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich on the gf roll with fries and asparagus. I asked the server if the fries were made in a dedicated fryer and he said he didn’t know but would ask - fair enough (and it turns out they are)! When our food came out, I was handed my meal and double checked that it was gf and he said it was. A few minutes into our meals, before I had started on my sandwich, my mom noticed that her sandwich (which didn’t need to be gluten free) had a “gluten free” pick in the bun... mine didn’t. Thankfully I hadn’t started on it, but was likely cross contaminated from my sides that were in the same basket. The server was super apologetic and the food I ended up eventually having was great! But, not sure that I would call it safe after this mix up... had my mom not noticed that hers was gluten free instead of mine, I would have eaten the regular bun without knowing. Still giving it 3 stars for the great food, but staff could be better educated for sure.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?
