Dietary Options

Vegan options: Limited — customization helps, but verify toppings and sauces.
Gluten-free options: Some items may work in bowl form, but there is not a dedicated gluten-free prep area.

Is it kid-friendly? Yes — the menu is flexible and casual enough for kids, though evenings can get busy and louder.
