The server was very knowledgeable about the gluten free items. They had a separate menu and it was a big selection. The pancakes were awesome! They had a nice patio and I was able to bring my dog. Service and food was fantastic!

They were very confident it was celiac friendly and I had a reaction even after choosing the most safe option. Would not recommend.

They made a big production about being careful with my food. They let me eat it then ran out and told me they gave me the wrong plate. I am a super sensitive Celiac, can get sick from minor cross contamination. This was so terrible. I missed a week and a half of work. A month later I'm still recovering.

It's always appreciated when a restaurant makes a dish gluten-free not just by removing an offending item (e.g. Making a burger GF by serving it without a bun), but by replacing it with an equivalent item. Such is the case here. All of the omelettes can be made GF. For mine, they replaced an English muffin with two little GF pancakes, and they served pure maple syrup from VT in lieu of the regular maple syrup which has gluten (who knew!) This was all done without my asking, besides having requested the gluten-friendly version. There is a disclaimer that the kitchen is not 100% GF, however. Also, excellent food, friendly service.

Jumbo Gluten Free Pancake is very good. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu items. Our waiter Jonathan even knew that their regular syrup has gluten in it and got me some grade A pure maple for my pancake.I was told the waffle comes out kind of ugly, but taste great. They do not have a dedicated GF kitchen area. Only reason for the 4* rating.

We loved this place, went several times. Their menu is gluten friendly but felt safe eating there after our waitress’ extensive knowledge. Really great sandwiches and breakfast items.

Awful breakfast. Gluten friendly menu but no separate toaster. Overpriced and I barely ate my eggs because they were drenched in butter. Grits were gross and I couldn’t get the bread toasted. My daughter liked the pancakes.

Terrible place, food was mediocre and didn't feel safe. They have a "gluten friendly" menu, whatever that means. Skip this place.
