If I could give 100 stars I would! If you’re gluten free, this is the place to be 🙏 Nickel’s has a dedicated fryer that they use- so no cross contamination-, all of their bbq sauces are GF, and our server said most of the menu can be made gluten free. An absolute dream for someone with celiac. And a huge shoutout to Abby, our server, who was extremely knowledgeable about gf options, attentive, friendly and quick with service! If you’re in the area, this is a must visit.

Gluten free options- our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and what I could or couldn’t eat that was safe.

Great food! Especially love that they have a gluten free and allergy menu, they were extremely helpful when making any edits to my dish for dietary reasons. Highly recommend.
