This neighborhood eatery offers a friendly atmosphere with a cozy, small-town diner vibe, featuring an outdoor patio and kid-friendly space. Its welcoming charm makes it a comfortable spot for those seeking gluten-free dining options in a casual setting.
The food is quite amazing. But I'm only giving three due to the presentation of a gluten-free burger. As someone with celiac disease, I am grateful for the options that many restaurants give us. And Skips has several. The blended veggie soup is great. And I really enjoyed the grilled romaine salad.
But that burger.
What a mess.
Literally. The "lettuce wrap" consisted of a full romaine leaf on the bottom and another on the top. Both lying like light green surfboards, stiff and unmoving.
And so the damn thing fell apart at the first bite. Imploded might be a better descriptor. It was then I discovered the layer of shredded lettuce in the middle of a LETTUCE WRAP!!! It's superfluous. It's already has lettuce surfboards instead of a bready bun.
I heavily suggest that the owners go to Five Guys, Carl's Junior, and In-n-Out to see what a lettuce wrap burger that works looks like.
And don't feel too bad. I ripped Five Guys just as badly about poor presentation years ago. They improved, so can you.
I'll be back. But I'm avoiding the burgers and sandwiches.
