Gluten-Free: Wild Willy's Worcester

I've wanted to go to Wild Willy's in Worcester (say that three times fast) since I heard two things: 1) almost their entire menu is gluten-free and 2) the gentleman who runs this particular franchise is the person who brought the concept of gluten-free food to the entire chain.  They close at 8, so I finally made it there this past week.

Upon entry, it was clear this would be a fun meal.  You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table, which is located within a well-decorated dining room (such as a stagecoach etiquette sign) containing big booths spaced out far enough from each other to be able to have private conversations.  We took one in the corner with fantastic views over trees, where we could see the Wachusett reservoir and the mountains in the distance. 

The cashier was exceptionally knowledgeable about their gf offerings.  He explained to me that not all of their burger toppings are gluten-free so some of the styles of burgers are not, but that only leaves a handful which aren't.  The fries, onion rings, chicken & steak sandwiches, haddock fillets and specialty drinks are all safe to eat.  They even make their own buns, which are literally stamped "gf" to reassure and avoid any confusion.
