I have celiac disease and my husband and I ordered a GF cheeseburger pizza. The guy who answered the phone to take my order was great! He told me when I order to make sure they know I have celiac and they will get all fresh bags out to prevent CC. The pizza was fabulous! It’s been a long time since I have had pizza so this definitely was a treat! Great service and amazing pizza!

One of my favorite places to eat in town. I am gluten free and they have many options to accommodate that. I love how customizable it is. However, if you have serious allergies i wouldn’t recommend it because there is cross contamination.

We had a great brunch here. Bacon Swiss quiche was very good but there are chunks of onion if you're not a fan of onion. The gluten free brownie and smoothies are very good as well. Highly recommend the blueberry cream cheese coffee cake and the Mexican spice mocha. Soooo good!!! Lots of decorative stuff in the upstairs of the barn at good prices also.

There steak and cheese is good. There just alittle pricy. $20 for a giant sub and that's not including a drink or chips. Gluten free bread is 3.50 to 4.50 extra depending on size you get. Not enough space inside to really sit down if there busy. You will have people right next to ur table if they are .

First time trying Indian food and it was delicious! They let you choose mild, medium, or spicy for each dish. Dinner was made to order. Both employees we talked to were super helpful and friendly. I tried the Paneer Makhani, I'm gluten free and didn't have any issues :)
