Very good food. Loved that I could get anything and didn’t have to worry about the food not being vegan. Also love the gluten free options. The sweet potato fries and chocolate cake are a must have.

First time to Smash Park & rented one of their party game rooms. Our party enjoyed great gluten free appetizers & had lots of fun with all the games & on pickleball court. The staff was friendly, timely, had great recommendations for planning our catering. I would recommend for your next party!

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.

Went in at evening rush yesterday to order some grilled nuggets. As someone with Celiac, it always makes me a little anxious to go at peak hours due to risk of cross contamination. Manny quickly put me at ease! His fabulous service and personality made my whole day. Thank you, Manny!! He took the time to quickly check and get answers to a few weird questions I had. He didn’t make me feel bad or like a burden to ask and took time out of his busy day to make sure I got the answers I needed! The whole team was fabulous as always, Manny just deserves an extra brag!!

I used to get meals from here weekly when I lived in the state. I have been gone almost 5 years now and came back for a visit. I like staying on track so I stopped by. The service was the same phenomenal service as before. The choices felt as if they were endless. I’m both gluten and dairy free & it was amazing to have more than two choices. I’ve already tried the much recommended bison burger bowl & I loved it. The flavor profile was totally there. I can’t wait to try my other meals.

Went here yesterday afternoon and it was delicious. My daughter and fiancé got the jalapeño bacon fries minus jalapeño and Korean kimchi bbq fries and said they were amazing. My son and I are super sensitive to gluten. I got the chili cheese fries and he got the bbq pulled pork fries, they were awesome. We also had no problem with a reaction afterwards. Highly recommend for a quick snack and for gluten free. We will definitely be back!!

Serenity was very friendly and helpful. The food was fresh. We came because Culver's dining room was closed, and I'm glad it was. The gluten-free bun was better, and my BBQ bacon burger was delicious.
