I called ahead specifically to ask what was gluten free on their menu and told them I have a gluten intolerance. I placed my order and picked up my food. After eating I became severely ill and realized the food was not gluten free. I was sick for 2 days. I do not recommend to anyone will food sensitivities or allergies.
