Excellent food. Casual atmosphere. Not a lot of indoor seating but plenty outside. I had the trey-mendous burger with sweetpotato fries. Sweet tea was SWEET and AWESOME. Wife had a chickens salad sandwich on a GF bun - which she said was great. Quite a compliment for anything gluten-free, imho.

Stale gluten buns fall apart when you touch it. Good burger otherwise

We immediately felt welcome when stepping in for a quick dinner Sunday night/ this place was even better than I expected- the food was excellent- I loved the bison filet, kale salad and baked potato! They have excellent gluten free options including a dedicated fryer for fries! Also loved the pickles they served before our food came! Also worth mentioning, they have good Diet Coke with perfect pebble ice. Beyond the great food, we had the most amazing server! Katie went above and beyond for us and made us feel right at home! We cannot wait to come back and eat here again! Katie is seriously one of the best servers we have met in years and would come back because of her hospitality alone!

Great Italian food. Love the garlic knots they bring to the table. Gluten free Pasta. Nice choice of proteins but works love tofu option to be vegan. Reasonable $. Eggplant stack can be an entrée, salad can be shared by 2.

Really good, healthy food bowls with a mix of vegetables, meats and fruit options. The service is friendly and quick. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu if that's your thing. There are also a lot of options if you have a special diet; e.g. gluten-free, paleo, keto, etc.

They did a phenomenal job for our work party! We had about 20 people and reserved their "private" room, which seats up to about 40 people. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. Danielle scheduled our party and came up with a tailored menu for us that had vegan and gluten free options.

It took an hour to get our food. An hour. The food was tasty and the service would have been excellent had she stayed on top of the kitchen about why our order was taking so long. Maybe she did? I have no idea. They have a lot of gluten free options and will point you to an app you have to register on the spot to use, that will filter the menu by allergen/intolerance. They have a dedicated fryer for fries. It took an hour to get our food.

They are always extra careful with my gluten free orders! I rarely get to eat out due to medical conditions. This location is always super friendly and has never gotten a take-out order wrong. It is such a treat to come across a restaurant with options for me. Super thankful for the awesome staff and delicious GF alternatives

The gluten free bread options here are very good. The Philly cheese steak had a GF hoagie and the mushroom swiss burger had a GF brioche bun, for a typical additional charge. Both sandwiches were good, although I didn't think the sauce matched the mushroom swiss burger (personal preference). The potato salad had plenty of bacon, but a little too much green onion flavor; however, I can see other people liking it. Online ordering for pickup made getting lunch a breeze, but make sure to check your sides.
