We absolutely love this restaurant and eat there at least once a month. One of the big draws from me ore. Originally, choosing this restaurant was the delicious gluten-free menu. Any authentic food.

Great burger place, many options. Onion rings quite popular, also pretzel bites. All you can eat sides. Our server offered us fries up front- instead of appetizer. Burgers are customizable and all ingredients delish. Their campfire sauce is amazing! Competent friendly staff check on you without hovering. Kid friendly and I understand quite gluten friendly as well. Full bar. Loyalty program. Military discount.

I'm very pleased that ThunderCloud offers gluten free bread that 1) tastes good and 2) doesn't crumble into a million pieces! Please don't ever change suppliers! It's nice that they use a separate cutting board and such to minimize cross contact. The gluten free brownie is also very very good. Folks are always friendly and helpful, food never misses. My only critique is that they 100% should sell merch. There are a lot of cloud-ies who would proudly sport merch. Also the gift card thing is wack, want to give someone $25? You gotta give 'em FIVE $5 gift certificates.

After an hour wait they called us to sit too early, and asked us to stand at the front. After another eight minutes or so my wife was notified that we were removed from the list, when asked they said we were called seven minutes ago..... After that was taken care of, the service was good and we ordered. The only thing marked gluten free on the menu is not gluten free on the weekends because the kitchen can't prevent cross contamination. So the one item I was looking forward to was off the table. The hash browns were thin and hard, the pancakes came with no butter and syrup. The syrup showed up about 5 minutes after the food did.

Great restaurant, I had the ribs (kinda spicy), Inna had Kung Pao chicken (very good), the duck appetizer was delicious. If I had to say something negative, it is that our dishes spent 10-15 minutes to get to our table, from the first person to receive their dinner to the last. Timing matters, and if you have to bring food out first, make sure it's the *ladies* food. Also, a gluten free dinner was easy to get. Congratulations! I will go here again... and it's quite the drive. Highly recommended! 👌

Portions were small for appetizer. The salad hardly had any dressing and a weird seasoning was on the bacon and salmon. I let them know I had a gluten allergy, but I don't think they are up to date on all ingredients that contain gluten, I got an allergic reaction.

Gluten free pancakes were great! The omelette was on point, and everything else came out good too. If it didn’t we were too starved to notice. The kitchen was short staffed so the wait for our food was long. Our waitress was awesome and made up for it. I wish she had told us her name….Our cups had coffee stains so we offered paper cups. Too bad the coffee was water downed. We love us some coffee😞

They can sub bread for gluten-free products. The only thing is the fruit bowl is not apart of the meal, you pay extra for it. They don't tell you that either.

We had the pleasure of dinning in this afternoon. Where we were wonderfully greeted by Samira. From arrival and departure she was very courteous, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and making sure all of our food was enjoyable. We also came for the gluten free options because my daughter has celiac disease, she was very mindful and informative of the options for her! Samira even made sure that the kitchen followed all safety precautions while preparing the gluten free items. We appreciated the hospitality and great food!

Location was great, clean and service was above reproach. Food did not take long to come out even though their was a bit of people there. Our server was attentive and checking in continually to make sure we had all that we needed. The manager, I believe, even came in to check in and play with our kids. We had a full table, 2 adults and 5 kids. Food was good and hot, we enjoyed our selected dishes and still had leftovers to go. I especially Like the homemade corn tortillas, since we try to eat Gluten free. Thanks!

The food was top tier, the menu clearly states what is gluten free. The price point was a little high for what you get and was lacking a lunch menu.
