Went for dinner and being I’m gluten free I searched the menu before going. They have a nice selection of items I could get. I got a sandwich and the gluten free bread was delicious. I was very happy with the food and the service.
As a Celiac who travels a fair amount I know the risks of eating out. I ask a lot of questions and have to achieve a certain comfort level that the server and kitchen are knowledgeable and care that the food is safe before I eat there.
I felt confident when I ordered and even when I took the first big bite of my burger. I was wrong. It was the wrong bun. The kitchen didn't notice, the server didn't notice, only my daughter who also ordered a GF bun noticed.
As a result of that one bite I will now suffer several days of stomach pain, nausea, headache, fatigue, itchiness, brain fog and so on. It's not life threatening, but it's life altering.
The server apologized a half dozen times, but still charged me the full amount. That was disappointing.
So, the warning is to be sure to ask before you eat or maybe go somewhere else that is more careful and caring.
I heard the food was great here, that is an understatement! Our first experience at this restaurant: we arrived at 4:30pm, few people were there. They asked if we had reservations (we did not), they had a high top in the bar. We took it, since it was on a whim. But, just before entering, we stopped at the door where the menu was posted… we almost left, if not for a special occasion and the high recommendations. We were then promptly seated, and greeted by Patti (do yourself a favor and ask for her!). Being Wednesday the wine by the bottle was half off (pro tip). I ordered an appetizer, a Quail version of hot wings served with Blue Cheese Ice Cream, yes you heard me. AMAZING! We ordered the Gluten Free Tempura Lobster and the Steak Diane. Both were prepared and presented perfectly. I cannot describe how good both dishes were! The appetizer, pork belly salad, dinner, wine and dessert leaning to the more expensive, upscale, but 100% worth every penny. Patti was what brings it together, an experience and excellent food! I just found my ATF go to when entertaining guests from out of town, or a romantic time with my beautiful wife.
Cute little car hop place where people are friendly and the food is great! The sweetest girl came out to greet me and when I told her I have an allergy to gluten and asked if they had gluten free buns as I saw it on their website, she said "Yes, and we have a separate fryer for your fries too, that I'll make sure is used"
The burger was delicious, the bun was better than I expected it to be (being my first GF bun, I wasn't sure if it'd be edible), as it did have flavor and it held together nicely. The only thing that would've made it better is if the bun was warmed. Great experience all the way around! I'm not from around here, and if I come back this way I'll definitely stop back in!
I definitely recommend!
I have lived in Maryville for 25 years and somehow have missed this place. They have a great bar and the food is fantastic! Love the Buffalo Pizza and the pizzas are huge! Best part though is the service. Now we know where the super friendly servers are hiding out! Q at bar was great and Megan in the dining room was fantastic too. Will definitely be back and often!! Oh and gluten free pizza is fantastic too!! Great experience. Thanks to GM Alex for the canoli and kind words.
The taproom is clean and inviting. They offer unlimited tasting before you settle on a beer. The food is tasty. Everyone in my group enjoyed their burgers and raved about the french fries. I'm gluten-free and was able to enjoy a grilled buffalo chicken sandwich on a gluten-free bun with a side of fresh-cut veggies (because the fries and potato chips are fried in cross-contaminated oil). The space is dog-friendly.
This place is really good, it's got mostly sandwiches and is very friendly to gluten free, dairy free, and vegan people. A lot of fun sandwiches and they are delicious. It's only open 11-2 so plan accordingly.
