This place was awesome, staff was friendly and helpful, did not feel rushed. Staff helped us figure out how to make items Gluten-free for my Fiancé. Some shakes are also Gluten-free l. Just like all restaurants there is a chance for cross contamination but let staff know and they can help the best they can.

Good GOLLY. I love this place. We went to celebrate getting through wedding planning and to celebrate a new job. Everyone was SO NICE. I mean 10/10 customer service. I have a severe gluten allergy and they were ON IT. Went so far above and beyond. The chef at the time (who was leaving) amazing and funny. The (what I can assume) Manager he was awesome too. Checking in making sure everything was perfect. And honestly this place is a 2.5 $ not 3. For what we got it was perfectly priced. We will be back!!!
