!!CELIAC & GLUTEN INTOLERANT WARNING!!This place has a nice atmosphere, is dog friendly and has decent food but it was really only saved by the staff and their great service. My wife and I chose this location because she has Celiac and they had several gluten-free options listed. Unfortunately we found out that many of the listed GF items were not actually because they share a fryer which would have made my wife very sick. Thankfully our server double checked with the kitchen instead of just trusting the menu. Instead of just telling us to get something else he let his manager know and she immediately came out and sat with us to go over with my wife what was safe for her. That part was wonderful because we could tell they cared and were trying to accommodate us, but it could have gone very poorly if my wife had just ordered and trusted the several falsely labeled GF items without mentioning it. This is definitely somewhere we would like to visit again in the future but I would suggest the business gets a separate GF only fryer if they are going to list so many GF items.

Horrible place. The BBQ tacos fall apart, the pork ribs tasted like a urinal cake, and the Mac n cheese was not any better. The waitress never came back to check on the table, so it was getting up to get the bill or to go boxes. No rice, really? The entire place also smells like a toilet at a construction site. I got sick, and so did the person who had a gluten allergy due to poor cross-contamination procedures. Only saving grace was the welcoming person.
