Went for brunch while in town visiting family, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Gluten free menu is available if you ask, and they assured us that they have separate prep practices including dedicated dishes and a designated staff member to prepare your food to ensure they aren’t in contact with gluten foods. In our case this staff member was the one to bring the gluten free dishes to the table separate from the rest of the food brought by our waitress. They said it was company policy and that they could even prepare the foods safely for carry out if you call ahead and inform them you need to be gluten free. Most of the offerings are eggs, breakfast meats, and potatoes as far as their morning/brunch offerings are concerned. Our three Celiac kiddos happily ate their bacon, eggs, and fruit and had no adverse reactions at all. Highly recommend.

Definitely not as impressed by their number of GF options as I thought I was going to be. I went here with high hopes but was greatly underwhelmed. I don’t think most of their staff knew about their GF menu. This was concerning. I believe the menu was old and has not been updated in a while. The options that they actually still have on the menu, do not have a description of the items. I had to look back and forth from the GF menu to the regular menu just to see what each item consisted of. I got the bacon cheeseburger plain with a lettuce wrap and hashbrowns. They ended up putting the veggies on there anyways, so I just took them off. The waiter assured me that he watched them prepare it and it should be safe. When I asked them if they could clean the area they prepared it, they said they couldn’t. This was aggravating but most of the items that would be cooked on the grill were GF so I went ahead and ordered it anyways. I did not get sick but am nervous to go there in the future. Eat here with caution!

Looking at the gf menu, all proteins on it were cooked on a shared cross-contaminated surface, and they didn't have pans to make it separately. They also had a general vibe of not willing to accommodate the difficult one.

Everything is cross contaminated. If you have celiac disease, do not eat here!

I told the waitress I have a gluten allergy (I was advised to use the word "allergy" because wait staff pays attention to it. The waitress flat out told me the kitchen staff doesn't pay attention to any of that and not to eat anything that is grilled, which leaves me with a side salad, no croutons.She said she can watch them wash the grill, but they will use the same spatula. I appreciate her being up front with me about it. I would NOT recommend this restaurant for anyone that is gluten sensitive or has celiac's.

Location had a branded Bob Evans menu for gluten-sensitive and a Celiac statement. Typical ‘we do our best to not cross-contaminate’ statement, but we were happy that the took Celiac and GF seriously. All we got was the bacon for our GF 9yo.
