The most incredible gluten and dairy free waffle cones. I also had their ice cream sandwich and they make the creamiest dairy free ice cream. Definitely worth checking out. It's 100% gluten free🙌🏻

It’s always difficult eating out when gluten free but there’s so many GF options!!! The girl working out the front really sold it to us! Platter was awesome but make sure to starve yourself before going as it’s a huge portion! Ha!

I ordered an eggs Benedict (without bacon or mushrooms) gluten free. They came out with two pieces of (hope it was gluten free) bread because it wasn't toasted properly and had no butter on it. Two eggs just put on top with the dressing. No wilted spinach. It looked like a child had made it. With the other meal and drinks I paid just over $50. I ate it because I paid for it but won't be going back.
