Best gluten free pizza I’ve had since going gluten free. Wish it was a little more affordable, but understand the cost due to the high quality of the imported flour. Definitely recommend!
Great food and service in a fantastic location. So many gluten free options! Our server, James, was knowledgeable about the menu and super helpful in explaining all the gluten free options available to us. My husband LOVED the beef stew: great flavor, plenty of beef. My salad was huge and fresh, no wilty greens. We split an order of fish and chips, made gluten free with specific batter and dedicated fryers. The batter was SO crispy. My husband ordered the creme brulee with whipped cream and fresh berries for dessert, and it was AMAZING. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to a return trip.
Full gluten free menu! I tried gf fried chicken sandwich and loved it. The bun held together and was not gritty. There must be a bit of heat in the gf batter but it was delicious. No bacon for me but added pickle slices.
I can't wait to try more gf dishes here
The waiter was great
This was just what we were looking for for lunch!
My girlfriend has a few food allergies, the biggest being gluten intolerance, and man did this menu have options for her! Normally going out, there's only a few things, most salads, but here she had so many choices, it was great to see her torn between what to get! She got one of the stir fry, and said it was one of the best she's ever had!
Food aside, the service was fantastic! This place always looked busy, and today seemed to be another case of that, but our server Linda was on top of it! Going from table to table with ease and confidence, having amazing customer service, and was just overall great!
Pretty easy to say we'll be going back :D
This is not a great place for people with food allergies. I’ve had several issues in this regard.
My wife has a tree nut allergy. She had an almost immediate allergic reaction after eating…tater tots. At first we were very confused, but after checking the menu closely, we saw that a different dish contained fried nuts. Apparently they have one shared fryer that they use for anything for fried. My wife was sick the rest of the night.
I on the other hand have a gluten intolerance. They mark items on the menu that are gluten free…but 90% of those items are also fried in the shared fryer. So, they’re not actually gluten free.
The wait staff has always been great the few times I’ve been here, but they really need to address how they handle dietary restrictions better.
We were greeted by 2 very friendly young ladies. They were very personable and went out of their way to verify ingredients for someone who has celiac disease! My avocado toast was delicious! In addition , my sister who is gluten free said her egg sandwich was amazing!
