Poor service. Served us gluten after we had discussed the need for GF. Manager was rude and dismissive.

We went here for a brunch date. The place was only half-full but the service was slow for some reason. (It seemed like they were understaffed or some of the staff was brand new and didn't know what to do.) We talked to our server about GF options. She was nice to us but didn't seem to know much about GF and it took quite a while for her to check with the kitchen and come back with an answer on what was safe and what was not. Meanwhile people who came in after us were already eating their brunch while we sat and waited.

We ordered items that were said to be safe. After a good 15 minutes of waiting, about half of our food showed up. One order was wrong... they served my wife the home fries which are NOT GF. We let the server know and she said she'd fix it but then she disappeared for another 5 minutes. Then one of the sides we ordered finally showed up but the home fries were never replaced, and the other side we ordered never arrived.

The icing on the cake was when we were finally frustrated enough to just finish what we got and leave, the manager came over and asked why my wife hadn't eaten the home fries. My wife said they looked delicious, but we didn't order them and can't eat them due to food allergies. The manager just gave her a dirty look and walked away.

They try but miss the mark. Didn’t end up eating there. But they have options. Don’t think they are celiac safe. Especially if you are super sensitive like I am. Same oil used. Same waffle iron then just clean it. Same grill for pancakes. Our waitress was very nice and asked the kitchen all of our questions we personally just didn’t feel safe.

Staff was very friendly and the restaurant itself was adorable. Numerous gluten free options on the menu and staff was knowledgeable. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Will definitely come again

Delicious! Gf and gfo (gluten free option available) are clearly marked on the menu. They will cook your food separate to avoid cross contamination. My fav is the grits. Staff is always friendly too. Busy spot, usually a wait but worth it.
