They have a small GF menu online and I made sure to tell the server that I was ordering off that. Everything was tasty. My husband got the shrimp & grit cake (he’s not GF but it was on the GF menu) and he hasn’t stopped talking about how amazing it was.

This is one of those spots that doesn’t have a gf menu, but will be accommodating. Had the steak and asparagus, it was delicious! All done in its own pan.

Some of the other reviews downvote for no gf bread. I’ll take a place that makes amazing high quality food with no cross contamination and forgo the bread!

The food is mediocre overall. They have a GF menu, but no GF products like bread, pasta, or crackers. We ordered one salad from the GF menu and another from the vegetarian menu. The GF salad came with croutons and the veg came with bacon. Not impressed. At all.

Have a gluten-free menu. Server asked if I had a gluten allergy and when I said “yes” he offered that they would pay attention so no cross contamination occurred. Food was very tasty.
