Really good service but we didn't really enjoy the food. We ordered off the gluten free menu and pasta didn't taste that great. Ordered the lobster meal but pieces were very small. Substitutions were common because they didn't have what was offered. Overall we felt disappointed in the meals.

I’m gluten-free, the hubs knows the difference between a drink and a good drink, and we both appreciate excellent food and service. 5 stars on all of the above. Whiskey Road in Cedar Falls is definitely our new favorite.

My experience was great especially as someone that has celiacs and gets sick easily with cross contamination. They have a designated gluten free menu with so many options which I feel like is so hard to come by. Their staff was also on top of it. They make sure that they mark it as an allergy when putting through the order and then shortly after I ordered a manager came to our table to make sure that she had correct everything that I specifically ordered to ensure that they were extra careful handling my food. And while I never expect restaurants to be able to really accommodate me because it is difficult when they handle so many different gluten products It felt so nice to feel “normal” getting to eat out and feeling safe doing so. I truly can not say enough good things about my experience and the staff and give a huge kudos as I know they are like this with others who may have other sensitivities or allergies. Absolutely will make the two hour drive back to eat here again.

The only reason we visited this restaurant is because of their dedicated gluten free fryer which was amazing for my gluten free celiac family member. For whatever unknown reason, they chose to get rid of this along with other gluten free options on their menu. We will no longer be customers at this restaurant.

If you eat gluten free I would not go here. The GF chicken strips were pressed chicken strips out of a freezer bag. All their fries are seasoned with breading you can’t eat. Otherwise, everyone can enjoy a good sports bar atmosphere and some deep fried gizzards that I heard were really yummy. Burgers looked good as well. Lots of TVs and a good view of the lake.

Everything was good with the ribs, my wife's wrap was a little dry, but the environment was excellent. Four Brothers is consistently good. Gluten free is tough in this restaurant so I only eat salad, ribs, and baked potato. Chips, nachos, etc. have flour.
