Really great! Seems like every grilled cheese can be made GF! The grilled cheeses are cooked on a separate griddle! Can’t have the fries or tortilla chips if you’re celiac. Seemed very knowledgeable!

Review
I just moved to Vermont and wasn’t really finding too many safe options for me but luckily I was able to use this app to find this restaurant and I’m so glad. The staff was friendly and asked right away if I had an allergy. I was given a bag of GF chips so that I could enjoy the appetizer with my boyfriend. I had the spinach and artichoke dip sandwich on GF bread (you can do that for all of their sandwiches) and even got to enjoy a GF brownie with ice cream for the dessert. Everything was so delicious I will definitely be coming back.

Phenomenal atmosphere and classic VT hospitality! The owner was at every table ensuring the meal was an experience! She gave us a xmas ornament as a first time visitors! The food was amazing and extremely conscious of cross contamination of GF!

Tiffany was our waitress and she was amazing! She understood about cross contamination and allergy safe food handling. Tiffany was also very attentive and friendly! The menu is full of gluten free options. The fryer is not gluten free, but they have chips and pickles as an alternative option. Weekly they have a special sandwich. I got the Margarita Grilled Cheese and it was awesome! They also had a gluten free brownie sundae for dessert. Highly recommend this spot!

Soo yummy. The staff was very kind and seemed to know a lot about allergies. They only have a shared frier, so I stuck with chips and a pickle with my grilled cheese. I got the Margherita grilled cheese — mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, balsamic drizzle, basil pesto and a garlic mayo dip on the side. I wish I lived nearby, because this is definitely a new favorite!

Review
This place is amazing. My daughter was a little disappointed that the bacon is fryed in the same fryer as gluten, but the staff is aware of how everything is handled and was able to tell us that. It was amazing to go to a restaurant and not have to worry. This is my daughter's new favorite restaurant because she feels safe eating there. We were also told that although it's not listed on the desert menu, they have a gluten free brownie.

Had such a wonderful experience when my boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch. As someone with celiac, I felt very safe and reassured when a manager brought over my food. Would definitely recommend the spinach and artichoke grilled cheese 😍

Fantastic waitstaff and attentive hosts that are knowledgeable about gluten free. The best Montreal meat grilled cheese sandwich I ever had on GF bread. Very large salads and great drinks. Wonderful experience on the outside patio area. Make reservations because people know and flock there.
