Awesome experience here, nearly everything on the menu can be made gluten free, and they also have a dedicated gluten free fryer. I had tuna tacos that they made from scratch (I’m also allergic to sesame, which they had in the marinade for the tuna, so they made it fresh, along with a side of fries. Also got to have some sorbet as a dessert which was amazing!

Oh my gosh. I wish this restaurant wasn’t so far from me. Lots of options. Separate fryer so I didn’t have to look longingly at other people’s fries. I had the vegan burger. It was a delicious falafel with lettuce, tomato, pickles, with a garlic sauce and a wonderful GF brioche bun. Tasted awesome. Was something I would never bother making at home and didn’t make me sick.

After reading the many wonderful reviews I went here for dinner last night and loved it! Easily 75% of the dinner menu is GF or can be made GF. They have a dedicated fryer and can do ALL their breaded items in a GF breading. I got fried pickles and a cheesesteak, two things I literally haven’t had in 8 years of being gluten free!!!! They also had Red Shedman Apple Pie Cider on tap, which is so so good (I’m a big Red Shedman fan). I can’t wait to go back and try all the things on the menu!!

This place was great. The server was very knowledgeable about GF. They have a dedicated fryer. Many many items are GF or can be modified to GF. My daughter was able to eat a fried chicken sandwich and French fries without worry. Will definitely go back when I’m Frederick

My new favorite place to go! The food and service is amazing. I had a fried chicken sandwich and the fried avocado wedges. I can’t remember the last time I felt this full. The atmosphere is fun. A little pricey, but worth it! Fantastic for Celiacs!

Sunday brunch was exceptional: the menu was well marked for gf options, and there were several choices. Our server was incredibly helpful in making delicious selections and in celiac needs. Four gf options for dessert! We’ll return often.
Return visit a year later: New menu, lots of gf options and helpful staff. Love this place!

This has a dedicated fryer and many different choices for many GF sandwiches including a fried chicken sandwich. The coating is potato starch. They cater to dogs outside. Staff is friendly and accommodating. We will be back! Highly recommend for vegans as well

We went on Sunday for brunch. The menu has a lot of options that can be modified gluten free and a couple natural gluten free options. They waitress we had was nice. I was the only one at the table gluten and dairy free. Unfortunately I had to send my burger back twice 1st time it came out with a dairy sauce on it 2nd time it was on a gluten bun. The waitress was ver apologetic. When I did get my burger it was over cooked and so was the egg on it.

On face value, they have a ton of GF items. However, they do NOT have a dedicated fryer so everything fried that is listed as GF is not safe for Celiacs. I wish they would denote these separately on the menu. Despite that disappointment, the non-fried foods I had were good and I was told they do take precautions to avoid CC for the non-fried items.

My server was very good at helping me figure out what I could eat (ie modifications of their menu where GF* was noted). They do not have a dedicated fryer. I chose the crab cake with a GF bun, it was delicious. I substituted a garden salad for the fries, their house basil vinaigrette dressing is amazing.

Great food, knowledgeable staff. Fries were not in dedicated fryer but offered a yummy substitution.
Review
The food is fabulous. I had the curry. Our server was knowledgeable and responsive to my multiple allergies. Menu used codes and listed ingredients so I was able to find options. Server suggested extra broccoli instead of carrots- Yahoo! Next morning I feel great and absolutely no edema!
