Gluten-free? We’ve got you. 💚
Did you know DownTown PUBlic has a dedicated gluten-free fryer? 🙌 That means you don’t have to automatically say goodbye to the crispy stuff when dining gluten-free!
And it doesn’t stop at the fryer. We offer a variety of gluten-free options throughout our menu and are happy to help you find something you’ll love.
Because going gluten-free shouldn’t mean giving up great food. 🍔🥗🍟
We can also accommodate a wide range of dietary restrictions—just let your server know when ordering so we can help find the best options for you. 💚

🍌 New dessert alert! 🍨
Because banana bread is good… but banana bread with chocolate chips, walnuts, rum caramel AND a scoop of ice cream is way better. 🤤
Warm. Gooey. Crunchy. Creamy.
Basically, you should probably save room for dessert. 😉 or have it FIRST 🏆
🍌 Banana Bread
🍫 Chocolate Chips
🌰 Walnuts
🥃 Rum Caramel
🍨 Ice Cream
✨ Can also be made nut-free!
Who are you sharing this with? 👇
