Holy cow!!! In tears at the fact I could actually eat CHICKEN TENDERS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! They were sooooo good. They have a dedicated fryer and everything. I never thought I would eat breaded chicken ever again. The quality of the meat was amazing, too. Not just a cheap oven-toasted tender.

Montana Jacks gets it!!! They have a gluten free menu and use a separate frier so I don’t have to worry! They’re super careful about cross contamination.
I will say it’s best right out the kitchen because I ordered on DoorDash and the chicken had dried a bit. BUT it was still good and really it’s just because I had a double dash and they had to deliver to someone before me. Nothing on MJ!

We stopped in for dinner a few nights ago and had awesome Celiac-safe fried fish and sweet potato tots. They had a separate GF menu in the restaurant of which items were safe and how you could tell that your order was GF (the breading w I dried parsley and probably paprika? to make it reddish). But the fish and sweet potato tots were great. They didn’t have a drink menu but when I asked if they had any ciders or GF beers they said no, so I stuck with water.

We got the fried fish and chicken strips and fries. My kids liked them and they have a separate fryer so that is cool.

Review
Although the atmosphere is a little lacking, the gf food was really good and worth a stop. I was skeptical with it being a restaurant/casino. A lot of gf options though, mostly fried, but that’s something you don’t find often, so it makes for a nice treat. I had the gf fish & chips and tried the gf tots as well. Our waitress was great, friendly and gf aware. Ask for the gf menu. Would definitely go back.

Review
The server was very kind and knowledgeable. She said they had a new cook and so she was writing detailed notes in the order on her tablet (where she took the order). We did a gluten free shrimp and chicken strip basket and gluten free onion rings. The coating on all 3 (shrimp, onion, and chicken) all looked different. None of the items had a toothpick in it stating gluten free, but she said even though they forgot it, she knew based on how it looked that it was GF. Best GF chicken strips. Onion rings were good but looked less than amazing. Fries were good too.

Awesome service! Awesome food! The woman in charge has Celiac's and has trained her kitchen very well. I felt very safe eating here. The philly cheese steak burger was excellent 👌🏻

Caeliac son and I had a good experience here. Standard American fare: burgers, sandwiches, etc. GF bread was pretty good, but the dedicated fryer is the biggest feature. GF onion rings were great.

Dedicated fryer. Multiple fried options that I haven’t had in YEARS. Onion rings. And the non gluten free folks were happy too. Such a hole in the wall to have such great options.

Review
GF fried food!!! They even have a dedicated fryer. The GF menu is extensive and the staff is very nice. I had the chicken strips and onion rings. The chicken strips were really good but the onion rings didn’t have much breading on them. I would probably do fries next time. My kids had the regular chicken strips and the staff was careful to keep everything separate.
Review
This is a hidden gem, unfortunately we found it on our last day in town. Excellent service and food. Chicken strips are delicious and the amount in a meal could easily be shared, there was so much. They listened to past customers and have plastic straws for GF guests. You will not be disappointed if you come here. They have all GF foods marked with a toothpick that states GF to ensure you have the correct food. So impressed by this small establishment. Kid friendly!!

Dedicated fryer (they even have GF onion rings!). Separate GF menu too. I’ve attached a photo of it to this listing. It feels like they’re taking some great steps towards being GF.
Note that they use paper straws. Some of these have been reported to contain gluten, so I’d recommend going without.

We ordered all the GF fried options- we ordered the chicken, fish, shrimp, fries, and onion rings. The chicken was the best of all of them. Josh, who took our order for takeout, was very patient about answering my questions and they marked all the GF foods on the takeout boxes.

We came in 15 minutes before closing and they let us order and eat in. Very nice and a separate GF fryer. They also have a GF tempura batter for chicken, fish and onion rings.
