We had a really disappointing experience here. Right from the start, our server seemed irritated and unfriendly—as if we had done something wrong just by showing up. She barely looked at us, and her attitude felt cold and impatient throughout the meal. One of our group has a serious gluten allergy, and when she asked about gluten-free options, the response was curt and unhelpful. The server mentioned a gluten-free bun for a burger, so that’s what she ordered. But when it arrived, it came with fries—without any mention that the fries weren’t gluten free. When she asked about it, the response was condescending, like she should’ve known better. They took the fries away but wouldn’t replace the burger, even though it had been sitting with the contaminated food. Instead, we were told it "hadn’t touched the fries too much," which is not reassuring for someone with a real allergy. To make things worse, the burger had barbecue sauce on it, which often contains gluten. When my friend asked about the ingredients, the server insisted it was gluten free but refused to show an ingredient list or offer any confirmation—just brushed it off without concern. Throughout the meal, we were barely acknowledged. We had to wave multiple times just to get water, and even then, it felt like we were bothering the staff. Overall, the experience felt careless and dismissive—especially regarding food allergies, which should be taken seriously.

Wow that Black Been and beet burger was top notch!!! I need to eat that again and again. ! Side note they have a good gluten-free bun. I wish I had a picture for you but somehow my food just disappeared! You can confidently try this place for yourself.
