The staff was helpful with what could be made gluten free. Some items on the menu marked GF we’re liable to cross contamination in a shared fryer. Our server mentioned this after I said I have a gluten allergy and ordered the stuffed dates. This was very helpful because I otherwise would not have thought this item was fried in any way. Similar issue with the twice baked potatoes and our server subbed out mashed potatoes. Very helpful and friendly and the food was good. I did not get sick and there was a decent selection on the menu for me.

Omigosh - where to start. I had the best dining experience here. There were plenty of options and the waitress and chef were so accommodating. I was able to enjoy appetizers and they adjusted and made my salad and protein gluten free. I left so happy and would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

More gluten tolerant than gluten friendly.

There is no separate gluten free menu, at least not for lunch.

$2 upcharge for a gluten free bun put my lunch (only a burger, no drink) just under $20 after taxes. You do have the option of getting the burger on lettuce.

No dedicated frier, so no fries (or anything fried for that matter), but you can swap in a salad. For lunch, your options are somewhat limited. I thought this place was supposed to be great for people with celiac's/GF, but maybe that is more for the dinner menu.

Overall, the food was good and they seem to be aware of gluten issues, if you ask (the server wasn't offering up much for information if I didn't specifically ask. I think I would have ended up with gluten contaminated fries if I didn't ask about the frier). I felt fine afterwards. No pain or gastrointestinal issues.

Calling this an amazing place for gluten free is a bit of a stretch. Again, dinner may be a different story, but I was fairly underwhelmed and probably won't go back. There are some better options in the area that I will probably stick to, though with a very different menu. I'm afraid to see what the dinner menu prices are seeing as how the lunch pricing was in the typical dinner menu range.

They did have one gluten free beer and a cider or two.

Gluten free buns. Didn't know if some items were GF Iike the fries. When I asked to sub potatoes they up charged an extra $2 plus the $2 I was already paying for the bun. Made it a very overpriced burger.
