⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a risk present in this setting.
- The collection includes mixed historical feedback: some diners report knowledgeable staff and mostly gluten-free options, while earlier reviews voice concerns about allergy handling. Recent reports tend to be more positive about awareness.
- Sauce and sides are variably mentioned; while many sources say sauces are GF, older reviews warn that miscommunications can occur. Always confirm with staff when ordering.
- It’s important to avoid non-GF items (like cornbread or certain desserts) if you’re avoiding gluten completely.
