We stopped here on our way to Oregon, and we will definitely be stopping here again! My husband and I both ordered burgers, and they were fantastic! I ordered mine with gluten-free options, and it didn't disappoint at all! The bun was good, and the house made ranch is out of this world! The staff were friendly, and I love that they assign fun names instead of numbers to the orders. The service is fast, but they definitely didn't skimp on anything. It's a must try!

Yummy, full belly goodness! I have celiac disease, was able to order an entree thali style w/o naan and it was full gluten-free and dairy-free. The waitress didn’t seem to write a note of my allergy which usually makes me nervous as I am very sensitive to gluten cross-contact but I had no symptoms here, just an exquisite meal in a beautiful place. Stellar!

We had been warned that they sell out early, so we arrived right when they opened and their stock was full! I was so excited to see an entire case dedicated to gluten free donuts. There were several flavor options of GF cake donuts — plain, cinnamon sugar, crumb, blueberry, chocolate frosted, and maple frosted. The maple was perfect! My husband is not GF and got the apple fritter and a cinnamon twist. Both were huge and delicious.
