AMAZING! My husband and I ordered out and I put on my order celiac just to give them a heads up since I did order a salad and a couple items that could come in contact with gluten. They went above and beyond! They not only made sure that nothing with gluten was on or near my food, they packed my items in one bag and marked it with an allergy note and then packed my husbands items separately and when they brought out our food they even double checked that everything was okay that was in the bag!

They offer the basic, already gluten free, items: salads, baked potatoes and meat. Food was good, but nothing really wowed me.

There’s a gluten free brownie. Our server also warned that the cheese and cinnamon is not technically gluten free.

I ate at the new location, updated menu and they'll accommodate all allergies! Didn't get sick!

We've eaten here multiple times and ordered from their gluten free menu and never had any issues!
Review
Great Gf menu, waitress seemed very knowledgeable about Celiac. Had GF appetizer, meal, and dessert; all were delicious. My only issue was leaving with an overfull belly.

For a chain restaurant they are great. Up front about the possibility of cross contamination. But they are very careful. They have a gluten free menu,you just have to ask. And if it is on there menu and it can be made gluten free with just a few changes, they'll make it for you

I had the chili and the mashed potatoes because I wasn’t really feeling a steak that day. Gluten free menu is available but with somewhat limited choices if you don’t feel like having steak.

Horrible, will not go back
Had a GF menu but half the things on the menu were no longer available. Had to repeat gf salad order twice and it was still brought out wrong. Waiter could have cared less.

Review
I ordered the gluten free Shrimp and Steak combo. it's only GF when the shrimp are not placed on a piece of toast.
My dinner arrived with the Shrimp on toast. I asked to check if the toast was GF. The server returned with a small plate stating the toast contained gluten and offered to remove the piece of toast or the shrimp and toast.
I explained that they had to remake the meal which they did.
Therefore, beware when eating here. The staff is not properly trained!!
