What the menu saysGluten Free menu: 'Our dishes are prepared in areas in which allergenic ingredients are present. This menu states which items do not contain gluten as an intentional ingredient, and extra care is taken when preparing your food, however we cannot guarantee that these dishes are 100% free from minor traces of gluten.' Burgers and ribs are served with house salad instead of fries due to fryer cross contamination with gluten. Bottomless Brunch menu carries the same preparation-area statement.
