Gluten free menu items clearly marked but not remotely celiac safe food. Extensive discussions with patient and friendly waiter who kept checking with kitchen and was not versed in truly gf food. Mixed fryer. When we opened our gluten free take out meal it was covered in gluten gravy. With bun in a separate box. They didn’t charge us which we appreciated.

I went at midnight and the atmosphere was great, and the servers were super nice. They have good sandwiches and are one of the latest open in the area that serves full meals. Vegan and gluten free options.
