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.

Nolan with Fireside Grille is an excellent individual to provide a catering service. He provided a wedding email for 250 people, including a gluten-free meal. Many compliments were provided back to us with great taste and quality. I have already recommended his service to others I know in need of catering, and I will continue to do so in the future. He is definitely worth a “5 star review”. Thank you, Nolan!

This is a great sports bar. Tons of beer options and lots of food options. The food quality is good, but I feel it's the "medium" quality from a commercial food provider. The food is always prepared well, and has had gluten-free options for my wife every time we've come. If you like to have your drink outdoors, there's a huge comfy patio too.

Our server Chris was attentive and enjoyed his down to earth attitude as well as his knowledge of my need for a gluten free menu. The food was delicious, we left full, we will need to wait until tomorrow to eat.
