I was handed the gluten friendly menu, typically a little bit of cross contamination doesn’t bother me. My waitress didn’t say anything about the cooking methods or warn me about cross contamination. I got pancakes, they were really tasty. However two bites in and I could feel the headache coming on. I felt awful for the rest of the day. I would not recommend for anything who strictly gluten free, even if it’s just a mild sensitivity.

This place does not have a gluten free menu they have a “gluten friendly” menu and are very specific when saying it’s gluten friendly not gluten free. The server told me that they cannot make anything on a clean or separate pan everything is a shared area so it is not gluten free and said “so if you can’t eat here you can’t here” ultimately my only options then were eggs and grits and the food was not even that good. If you have celiac or are very sensitive I would not eat here. The fact that they aren’t even willing to accommodate for people by cleaning a separate pan is one of the worst service experience I’ve had. Would not recommend to celiacs for safety and would not recommend to anyone for their poor service

They have a gluten friendly menu. Ordered the pancakes but server came back to say they are cooked on the same griddle as non GF pancakes. They weren't willing to cook in a separate pan. Pretty much reduced to eggs for breakfast. They do have GF bread. Ordered Traditional Breakfast which is two eggs with bacon and side of fruit.

Newly opened in Williamsburg. GF menu is mostly pancakes and omelettes, but they also have some sandwiches and burgers. They have and will substitute GF bread, but there is NO dedicated toaster, so don't get toast! They do use a clean skillet and utensils when making pancakes or an egg dish, so I came out unscathed. I did have to ask about the toaster, which is why I dropped the rating. When a place has a nicely prepared GF menu, you'd think they'd know better... Once the 'new restaurant' rush settles down, I'm going to talk to the manager about it. A $20 separate toaster seems like an easy fix! Pancakes, bacon, eggs and coffee were very good overall.

Went with my celiac husband for breakfast today, we confirmed several times he had an allergy and not just a sensitivity and they reassured us they use separate pans, etc and take precautions to prevent any exposure. They told us to stay away from potatoes which we did and there was a miscommunication and they gave him the wrong food which made him nervous. They fixed their error and got him a new omelet and he did end up with a reaction soon after. I WILL say I appreciate the separate menu, and that they warned us that their food is not guaranteed to be GF but they try to limit. The waiter also really did seem to knowledgeable with what was best or worst to get. You’re rolling the dice eating here for sure if you have celiac.

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.
