First of all, the building itself lures you in; a tall red building smack in the middle of Transit Road halfway between Clarence and Lockport is definitely an eyebrow raiser to begin with. Every time you go by, you see people going into and leaving the building, and then you'll see people sitting out on a patio toward the back of the building. Eventually, after you memorize the name of the place, your interest piques, looking for somewhere new to eat. You look up a menu online and you see that they have quite the variety. I'm personally gluten free and vegetarian, though I do eat fish, so I thought that there were plenty of options for myself, and my weird, non-vegetable-loving-vegetarian fiance. (Okay, to be fair, he likes some vegetables, but he can't stand the traditional greens that go into Caesar salads and things of that nature.) Nonetheless, we went there one night looking to try somewhere new, and we had mixed feelings, but leaning more towards the positive side of those feelings. At first, I thought my serving size seemed small. I got the garden noodle bowl, with shrimp added, but I think inititually, the issue was that the huge plate/bowl was so large, that it made the amount of food on my plate seem smaller. It was by far one of the tastiest meals I've ever had. My only legitimate complaint was that it was a whopping $8 to add shrimp to my entrée, which would have been fine, if they didn't only include a measly 4 pieces of shrimp. They labeled them as jumbo shrimp on the menu, but to be honest, they were not that big. For that amount, I would hands down expect more of the add on I'm paying that much more for. My fiance got a veggie burger and said that was also very flavorful. We will probably be back at some point, and while the shrimp was also very good, and seasoned well, I'm not sure I would dish out that kind of money again if I were to order that entree again, unless, maybe, they provided more shrimp. It's definitely worth checking out though, if you've been thinking about it like we were.

I really like the food here. Huge burgers! They're really tasty. I love the french fries here, some of the best! They're definitely using fresh oil. My husband loves their onion rings and says they're the best he's ever had. They have gluten-free buns. Which is great when you have celiacs and can't eat gluten, yeah you feel it like a real hamburger with a bun and not just a piece of meat on a plate. However, if you have a gluten sensitivity be careful the menu is not marked and the wait staff doesn't seem well trained. After ordering a gluten-free bun and my husband making a big deal about me being careful about gluten the waitress immediately wanted to put my husband's onion rings in the same basket as my fries. It's bad enough that there could be cross-contamination in the oil but having my fries Lay on his onion rings could have been really bad. While incredibly delicious the cheeseburger soup, which is a must if you're not gluten free, does contain gluten. So I've spent the last few days with what I lovingly like to call gluten poisoning. So be careful. Also I asked the waitress," what sugar-free sodas and drinks do you have?" I was thinking she would tell me iced tea, diet Coke, and (hopefully) Coke zero. No instead she gave me a rundown of all their sodas which included diet Coke. When I asked,"so the only sugar free you have is diet Coke?"she replied, "I don't know if that is sugar-free. " Glad for her honesty. However it seemed a bit odd that the waitress couldn't tell me what drink was sugar-free. my husband also pointed out they don't know how to pour their beer and get the proper head of foam so he said his beers all seemed a bit flat.

We loved our experience here. They shockingly had a lot of gluten free options and vegetarian. I got the vegetarian Greek pizza and it was DELICIOUS! The falafel was great too and they even brought out gf bread for our appetizer. The staff was very knowledgeable about my dietary restrictions and I loved it there.
