I had the baby back ribs, they were so tender. Sides: the fries used to be gluten free but are now fried in a shared fryer. Since I didn't feel comfortable eating any of the sides I asked if I could have a caesar salad instead (no croutons). They do not offer side salads (should!) but since my order came with 2 sides she just charged me $4 for the originally $16 salad in substitute for the two $5 sides included in my order. The atmosphere was wonderful. Dick and Kammy played live music and the sunset on the deck was beautiful! Would definitely come back to try the gluten free chocolate torte :)
