Overall Rating

Review


So this was actually really good. My friend and I were in town for an event and decided to stop here for a late lunch.

The wait staff were awesome and were very knowledgable for the most part on the ingredients in their food as well as very friendly. Both my roommate and I are highly Allergic to gluten and dairy.

It really is a little hole in the wall. Can only seat 40 people inside. But the place is so cool. You walk in and have to adjust to the low lighting. Maps surround and cover the space.

We both did build your own burgers with gluten free/dairy free buns. I love the fact that they had these and that bun is by far my favorite gluten free bun I have ever had.

However we both got exposed to dairy while there. My guess is they cooked our burgers in butter after expressly being told about our allergies and not doing it. Which saddens me because everything else was perfect.

The fries are delicious and fried only in the same fryer as their gluten free dairy free veggie burger. I think next time I might try the veggie burger instead.

Yes I still want to come back. But I would like it if the kitchen staff would be more careful of contamination when it is stated a customer has a food allergy.
