What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Desserts (gluten-free): entire gluten-free dessert menu noted in reports.
- Beef ribs (gluten-free items listed as safe in cataloged items).
- Roasted chicken (gluten-free items listed as safe in cataloged items).
- Braised beef ribs with vegetables (described as safe by a diner without contamination).
- Potato leek bisque prepared without croutons (modified to be gluten-free).
- Fried chicken prepared in a dedicated gluten-free fryer (explicitly noted as safe in at least one positive report).
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- There is at least one recent report of illness potentially linked to cross-contamination, which tempers the overall safety picture.
- Officially, the business is not characterized as a dedicated gluten-free facility, which means ongoing vigilance is important when dining here.
- While several patrons describe careful practices (e.g., dedicated fryer, clearly labeled GF options, staff knowledge), the absence of a GF-only facility means risk cannot be eliminated.
