There was a twenty minute wait so make a reservation. We sat outside on a picnic table are order did take a little bit to come out so I would recommend an appetizers. The burgers were normal nothing crazy but the nachos were delicious and I would definitely recommend them. The gluten free menu was a decent size so if you are gluten free this place is good for you.

Go for the beer, not the food. I wanted to like this place more than I did. Being gluten intolerant I'm always on the lookout for good gf resturaunts. Their menu sounds great and the fact they also brew gf beer made it a no brainer to try. The pros: Nice atmosphere. Great gf beer The cons: Food is lackluster. They try, the menu is informed, inventive, and locally sourced, but the food was on the bland side, tortilla chips overcooked, the smoked fish dip was overly fishy or old, pecorrino fries didn't taste like pecorrino, caramelized onions on a burger were barely cooked and no where near caramelized. We did eat early in the day, perhaps before the regular chef came in. We might try the food again, but likely we'll eat elsewhere and just go back for a great gf beer.

Sat outside and the weather was wonderful. My white is gluten sensitive and almost all their beers are gluten reduced. She had a bahn mi with pork belly and it was really good. I had the nachos with the pork belly and..... Holy cow it was amazing!!
