Universal Joint Lawrenceville

I hate having to say this because the food is very tasty and the people are nice, but this is definitely not a safe spot if you are vegetarian or have any food allergies or dietary restrictions. Two of the last three times I've gone, at least one person has been given the wrong dish(ex: chicken instead of a veggie burger for me, beef instead of a chicken patty for my partner who can't eat beef, and also things like forgotten sides/sauces). Unfortunately this was also for to go orders so there wasn't a chance to go back and swap it. My advice if you go is to only dine in, so you have a chance to make sure you actually get what you ordered! This pattern of behavior also concerns me for things that people might not notice are wrong right away, like a gluten free bun being forgotten or cross contamination. I'll probably still dine in here, but go forth with caution! My advice to the restaurant: just let your servers write things down! I don't know where the breakdown in communication is, but I would feel much more confident that I would get what I ordered if there was a written record of it.

I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation, as I have a gluten allergy. While there are some gluten-free options available, they are not clearly marked on the menu. The staff did their best to communicate which items were safe, but their lack of confidence made me a bit hesitant to place my order. I opted for a cheeseburger with a gluten-free bun, skipping a side since the fries and tater tots are not allergy-safe. The burger was quite tasty, and the gluten-free bun was enjoyable. My dining companions had non-gluten-free meals and were pleased with their choices. However, my companions cannot recommend the salads. The prices are quite high for the portion sizes, with one member of our party ordering a side salad and another a full salad, only to find that the full salad was both smaller and more expensive. Overall, the experience was mixed, and I would suggest caution for those with dietary restrictions.
