Food & Nutrition

All of our restaurants operate to the standards outlined in the Healthy Menu Choices Act. Food items are analyzed and comprehensive caloric information is displayed in-store, online and on our promotional materials. For customers with dietary restrictions, we always recommend contacting the location they are interested in visiting. A Manager would be pleased to answer additional questions and help them plan their next experience.

Our food is not categorized as kosher. We use pork in some dishes, but also offer many dishes which do not contain any pork. We attempt to accommodate the food requirements of as many customers as possible.

Many of our items contain ingredients like peanuts, tree nuts, seafood, gluten, etc., or have come into contact with those ingredients. It is, therefore, recommended that those with severe food allergies not dine at our restaurants.

While many of our items do not contain meat, we use chicken base in many of our dishes. For further information, please speak to the restaurant manager.
