Had the BEST experience here. Trying to find a restaurant that offers a gluten free menu as well as regular with no discernible differences in taste is 1 in a million and buzzard Billy’s is exactly that. Any time we ever come back it will be good at BB. Kristen, Kela and shiree are the best servers EVER!

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.

Burger shed had a separate Gluten-free menu. We all ordered from that menu as one in our family is Celiac. Food was great, gluten free buns were nice and was not charged extra for gf. It would be nice if they had a dedicated fryer for french fries, though. Celiac kids want fries too.

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.
