This restaurant was wonderful and I can't wait to go back. I would have given them all 5's but the gluten free bread could not hold up to the ingredients on the delicious sandwich. This is a common problem with gluten free bread. Also, it was, and usually is very small. Gluten free buns are usually better for sandwich making. It still tasted good, so don't let this stop you from visiting. Maybe toasting a bit more would have helped. Anyway, one side if the bread was very soggy. They also were unaware of the method of making the sourdough bread. Generally, if it is the 'slow' method, the gluten is reduced, and more tolerable for those with gluten sensativity. I also liked the potato salad. It was a large portion so we brought some home. The tomato soup was popular as well as the roast beef. We also had dessert, which is rare. The banana split was enjoyed by my party and I adored the gluten free "Let The Good Times Roll' milkshake with dairy free coconut ice cream. Our servers were very sweet too!

Absolutely love the place! Amazing decorations, love the picture wall on the top floor for pictures. We went at five and saw the train pass by it was so fun. The sandwiches there are great, gluten and dairy free options, and the milkshakes are incredible!! Totally worth it!
