🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Fries cooked in a dedicated gluten-free fryer.
  • Burgers and sandwiches can be served on gluten-free buns.
  • Cornbread available as gluten-free.
  • Gluten-free gravies and sauces (gluten-free sauces are noted as standard; gravies can be GF).
  • Gluten-free beer option.
  • Gluten-free brownies (dessert).

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The facility does not advertise itself as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so there is an inherent risk level that relies on ongoing, strict adherence to cross-contamination protocols.
  • There is at least one report of a misstep (a gluten bun served by a server on a very busy night), but the staff corrected the order by providing a gluten-free bun and apologizing. This highlights both that mistakes can occur and that staff are capable of remediation when issues arise.
  • Overall, the strongest signals come from recent positive experiences and documented practices like separate fryers and explicit menu notes.
