Vegan, vegetarian and avoiding gluten

We can do our best to accommodate vegetarian, vegan and gluten free requests, though we do not use a separate fryer or grill to cook our vegan or gluten free options.

We do not carry any gluten free bread. Wraps, sandwiches and burgers can be served over greens instead. The kitchen, including the fryer, is shared with items that are not gluten free.
