Fried chicken and waffles. Oh my was it good! My son just ordered the chicken while I added the waffles. You get 4 mini GF waffles.

The hot sauce and bourbon honey were amazing as well.

Staff was very knowledgeable and explained they have a separate fryer. We were also told it would take a little longer as it takes a little longer to cook.

Delicious gluten free chicken and waffles. The Brussels sprouts are not labeled gf for some reason, maybe they’re a newer addition, but they are and they are amazing

Upon arrival waiter noted my gf preference on our reservation. He was knowledgeable and pointed out options for me on menu. Not a designated menu, but items are marked. I choice the gf Lewellyn Fried Chicken last evening and the southern corn. It was the best chicken I’ve had since going gf 2-3 years ago. It was so good! My gluten eating husband ate part of mine (since the portion is 1/2 chicken). He said he could tell a subtle difference from the regular chicken, but it was still yummy. The corn had a small mix of bacon and cheese. Also very good.

It’s a little pricy, as it’s Vegas. The cost for the two of us was about $135 with tip. It included my wine and his old Fashion.

To be able to find GF chicken and waffles was amazing. We got there right at opening and we were served quickly. We probably could have shared the meal. It was the best.

We called ahead and had a reservation. Had read all the rave reviews and were really anticipating a stellar experience. I am also allergic to corn. Soooo, the first of many difficulties: The *main* entree for g/f is chicken and waffles. Your cannot order the chicken tenders, not available g/f. So, I ordered the $42 chicken and waffles. Sans waffles, b/c they had corn starch and meal in them. Chicken on my plate was tough, soggy and stringy. If you come from a tradition of food, and know what fried chicken is supposed to taste like; you may want to go elsewhere. To add insult to injury, 18% gratuity. Oh, not to worry, they pointed out you can add to it! 😳
