Our first visit, was recommended to me for the gluten free options. Pleasantly surprised by the number of choices, including sides. We opted for the pulled pork nachos - the highlight of the dish was the smoked meat and homemade salsa - both were delicious!! Unfortunately the nachos came out 1/2 heated and had to go back to bake a bit longer (think that might have dried them out and burned the chips). Service was great!

Burger shed had a separate Gluten-free menu. We all ordered from that menu as one in our family is Celiac. Food was great, gluten free buns were nice and was not charged extra for gf. It would be nice if they had a dedicated fryer for french fries, though. Celiac kids want fries too.

Amazing food! We casually mentioned that my significant other was allergic to gluten and beef and they promptly and without asking cleaned a grill for us. We also jokingly asked for a gallon margarita and she came back with the Mac daddy of all margaritas which must have been close to 1/4 of gallon made special and beautiful just for us! Lovely people run this place…thank you! :)

This place is fantastic! Food is fast and delicious! We have some diet restrictions and they're spot on! Got a gluten free Hawaiian pizza that was out of this world! Prices are reasonable and the staff are top notch! Will be back!
