Amazing food! Quick service and had a great experience with staff accommodating a gluten allergy.

I took my kids here for lunch. One has to be gluten free, but we don't worry too much about cross-contamination most of the time so restaurants are ok. I wished I had asked his name so I could compliment him here by name, but after I ordered and said some of the hot dogs needed to be without buns, the person making our food asked if he should change his gloves because of my kid's allergy. Sometimes people make a fuss about doing that, but he was so kind and it wasn't a big deal. I honestly almost cried on the spot (If you have a kid with food allergies, you know!) because it was so kind and I wasn't expecting that to happen. My kids loved their food (and me too!) and we had a great lunch!!! Thank you! And especially thank you to the person who served us. I'm so sorry I didn't ask your name and I hope you know that your kindness meant so much to me! I will definitely be back to get more hot dogs, including a few without buns for my allergy kiddo!
