Review of Backwater

My review is based on BREAKFAST

I was excited to try this place based on the reviews. I think it may be great for non celiacs but the options for celiac is who get very sick not as many options

When I got to the restaurant I asked about gluten free / celiac / cross contact and the First Lady told me they will “clean the grill” for me….. well I’m super duper sensitive and will get violently ill so I prefer not to use a shared grill

Then when I spoke to the waitress she explained that they pans that they only use for eggs that do not fit the pancakes so they would have to use the grill (sanitized but I just don’t want to risk it)

I had ordered the GF pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs and a coffee. But after they told me about the grill I skipped the pancakes and only had scrambled eggs and fruit

I’m disappointed because I drove far from my hotel to have pancakes however I’m just happy I can still eat breakfast
