My go to for a safe dinner out!! Dedicated gluten free fryer and a whole gluten free menu including dessert, they take precautions super seriously, and the food is delicious! I have never gotten sick here!
They had a good menu and the wait staff was knowledgeable about GF requirements. I had the Reuben on a GF bun with the truffle Parm fries (dedicated fryer). The food was really good.
AMAZING! Waiter was knowledgeable about celiac due to family connection. Dedicated fryer- house made chips for guacamole delicious and French fries! Also had fajitas and the bruschetta cauliflower pizza. Delicious and NO REACTIONS! Highly recommend for celiac. Will be coming back again and again

My 5 yo daughter has celiac. She ordered a cheeseburger (GF bun) with French fries that are made in a dedicated fryer. We all enjoyed our meals.
Excellent separate GF menu. Felt very safe eating there. Waiter (whose wife has celiac) said they are very careful with GF.
Great selection and care taken for celiac. My daughter didn’t get sick. Recommend!
I enjoyed my experience there. They even have dedicated gluten free fries. Yum.
Bartender was very helpful. Menu has lots of choices. Food was very good. We will be back
Came here based on amazing reviews! Waitress was so excited to tell me about gf fryer. Brought burger out and then found out it was the wrong bun (I had to have them double check) and then when they brought burger back out, manager came to tell me they didn’t cook me another burger just put the first one on a gf bun (obviously cross contamination). Seems like they had a lot on the menu though and hoping this was just an isolated incident! I, however, will not return. If you go, just make sure to triple check your order !
Lot of GF options and focus on GF by the staff. Food itself was just ok though
Have been here many times and my celiac son loves the food and has always felt good after. His favs are the jerk wings, short rib tacos and the fries are so good. They are very careful with the food when dining or ordering take out.
GF menu with lots of choices. Server was knowledgeable and food was delicious. Had oven baked buffalo wings and truffle infused burger on gf bun. All delicious. No reaction. Will be back!!
The staff was great. We called, spoke to the manager on duty and our server was great too. They have a large dedicated gf menu but not a dedicated kitchen. They did prepare the food separately in a dedicated area. They do not have a dedicated fryer but they baked my daughter's fries and they were nice and crispy. She had a cheeseburger and she said the bun was "goooooood". For dessert, she had a David's cookie with ice cream. It was yummy.
I eat here weekly and they are always so cautious. They have a separate gluten free menu and are educated on cross contamination. I’ve never had a bad meal here!
We looked up reviews because we are new to celiac and the reviews said that they had a gluten free menu and were super open to accommodate us. I asked the hostess if they had the gluten free menu and she said she wasn’t sure and brought back what I am assuming is the head hostess. Who told us we could order grilled chicken or a wrap… (so I got pretty mad) A waitress did come and say that if needed they would talk with the chef to find something. My daughter ended up getting the grilled chicken and mashed potatoes. Their fryer is shared so nothing fried. Asked the waitress if they could bake the fries as the previous reviews had mentioned and she wasn’t sure. The waitress was nice about it but if your new to this probably not the place.
Eat here all the time and have never had an issue. Separate gluten free memu and Tbey bake fries for you if you want them
Pleasantly surprised by this place. Separate GF menu with good variety of choices. Brisket tacos were delicious. Did not get sick.
Absolutely love this place! They are celiac friendly and even have GF sweet potato fries. They have awesome burgers and chicken sandwiches, and salads. Never had a bad experience here.
Extensive menu (including a dessert option)- eat there weekly and celiac daughter has never gotten sick.
GF menu. Great food. Great service. Great for families.
We had a great experience. We lucked out getting a knowledgeable server whose husband and sons are all celiac. We will definitely go back. The fries are baked. The gf menu was very good with gf bun options.
Fantastic. Not too expensive. Good GF menu. Bison burger rocks.
They have a separate gluten free menu. We had the spinach artichoke dip and I had a bison burger on GF bun. It was really delicious and I didn't get sick. They seem to really know what they are doing. I will absolutely go back again.
Glutenized
They cannot be trusted during busy times.
Fine when very light, but very poor communication between servers, kitchen etc.
There are GF options here, but be very careful. Some staff very knowledgeable & some are clueless. After long convo, we were still served our food with regular (wheat) bread. Luckily we caught it in time. Overall there is potential, but better training is needed.
They have a gluten free menu. Jamaican jerk wings were delicious. They gave you tons of guacamole and burgers were delicious, too. Highly recommend
One of my favorite places. I can get a burger on a GF bun, baked sweet potato fries and a beer. Staff seems knowledgeable and - more importantly - care.
Ordered the turkey burger with the GF bun and a GF beer. I told the waiter that I was Celiac and he was very accommodating. Didn't get glutened! It was great to have a burger and a beer. I would definitely go back!
I ordered the hamburger here with gluten free buns... The burger was really good. But I was a little disappointed I couldn't also have the fries- the waiter informed me that the fries didn't have dedicated fryers.
Food was delicious. First time since diagnosed I had a great burger and beer! I have been back already. Staff is very knowledgable.
