I always order the grilled salmon, it comes with rice and 2 sides. I usually get a baked potato and a side salad, they have a separate gluten free menu and everyone has been super friendly when asking questions to so far! I also have not gotten sick when eating here.

I asked for a GF menu and the after the server brought it, the manager came to my table and went through the many options with me. The fries are GF due to their dedicated fryer. I had the Baja chicken and the portion was so big that I couldn't eat it all. I was very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant.

Menu is HUGE with Literally NO options for the gluten challenged.. Staff is uneducated on what gluten even is!? Don't even waste your time unless you want to have water for dinner.

Awful. I had to ask two servers and a host about a gluten free menu (they told me they had one but it never seemed to make its way to my table). I told my server several times that I had a gluten allergy,and made sure to order only gluten free food, yet every plate that was brought to me had gluten on it in forms of croutons or onion rings on my meat. Bottom line, I wouldn't go back.

OK food, but very few GF options. When I asked why there was only one side item listed on the GF menu the very loud waitress called the mgr over who informed me of other sides without "glutamate"! When I tried to explain that was not the same as gluten she started arguing with me! Amazing! End result was I got sick. Never going back.

My Chicken Pecan Salad was so-so. The chicken had a section that was rubber and once I got that I was done. It was a fairly small, disappointing salad. The pecans were too sweet so I pushed them aside. The Honey Mustard dressing has horseradish in it so I had to set that aside for personal preference. Overall disappointing.

They have a gluten-sensitive menu that includes chicken, steak, salad, mashed potato, etc. Pretty delicious and not too expensive.

I ordered the Key West chicken & shrimp. It comes with rice. My sides were carrots & broccoli. DO NOT eat the sauce that comes with it, not gluten free. I explained my needs to our server. She was attentive and I had no issues at all with my meal. GF items are marked and a list is available for allergens on their site.

I have eaten here multiple times without any issues. A gluten sensitive menu is available on request and staff seemed knowledgeable about the options. The burger options are “order without bun” which is disappointing, but the other options I’ve tried (salmon, chicken without bourbon glaze, and pecan chicken salad) have been really good.
