| - Fellow Gluten Free Comrades REJOICE, I repeat REJOICE! I have stumbled upon a fantastic gluten free burger place! Okay, the Williams clan tummies' were rumbling and we decided to try this Grimaldi's sister restaurant, Coal burger. We were greeted by simple and modern decor when we walked up to the counter to order- I find no problem with ordering and sitting down, but I know people who do. When I mentioned I needed to be gluten free, they made sure that all of the extras were okay for me, something I really care about! I mean it seems they care! We didn't have to wait at the counter and they served us our food and any condiments we needed to our table- a nice touch, but possibly because it was not packed.
ORDER THE GELATO SHAKES, yes, I know that they cost more than a glass of wine, but seriously one of the best shakes in my life and with the cutest giant red straws. (It's sad how the little things get me so excited) Also they do all sugar cane sodas- which is always a fun mix from the usual.
Now to the gluten free burgers- you need to understand, gluten free bread is usually gross. I know there are exceptions, but I was expecting the worst when I arrived. The bun was decent- a tad dry, but I will gladly try it again. It was just fantastic to feel "normal" again, dramatic I know. It gets annoying ordering just a patty with all the fixins. I am also going to have to try the burgers with the lettuce wraps. We did notice the smaller portions for the expensive price, but I mean it seems to be expected as a trendy place at Scottsdale Quarter...
Both the fries (sweet and regular) were good, nothing amazing but yummy.
Overall if I was just ranking it on being gluten free I would give it 5 stars instantly, I will definitely be back and willing to fork out money to people who care about my health and will do anything to try to not make me sick. But on the other side as a normal restaurant, it is nothing to rave about, kinda expensive and smaller portions (love the mentality bigger is better) so I would of ranked it a 3. So it seems to be an even 4 stars in my book, a must try for gluten free eaters!
