Review of Tomboy Tavern

I’m not sure why this place got such great reviews. They do have gluten free buns available for burgers, but the fries are cooked in a shared frier and the waitstaff wasn’t very familiar with the risk of cross-contamination. I tried ordering the chili before finding out that it had meat (even though it wasn’t labeled ok the menu), and then I asked for the portobello burger on a gluten free bun. The waiter told me it was fine but then came back and said if was marinated in soy sauce, so it was off-limits. I ended up getting the kale salad which was overdressed and not very good. Can’t really recommend this place as they don’t label gluten free items on the menu and don’t have a ton of options. Also if you’re vegetarian and GF, definitely don’t come here.
