Had the farmers omelette for breakfast. Waitress was knowledgeable. No GF bread so I wasn’t able to have toast.

It smells like fried food as soon as you walk in. Screams gluten. There were a couple broiled fish options with plain mashed potatoes and green beans, we were told we’re gf. Portions are huge. Home cookin feel, just wasn’t impressed.

Menu clearly marked with items that can be gluten-friendly, and there were several. The portions were HUGE! I had the parmesan crusted whitefish and mashed potatoes (no gravy). The fish fillet was a generous 6-8 inches long and easily 4 onches at it's widest. Everything was DELICIOUS and service was friendly and efficient!

Multiple GF options on the menu but stress to your waitress about it NEEDING to be gluten free. I got the chicken cordon bleu and it usually comes with stuffing and gravy so I asked for none of that. Plate came out with stuffing and gravy so I sent it back asking for a new meal. Plate came back without stuffing but I could tell it was the same chicken as they had just cut off the corner that was touching the stuffing/gravy. I did not eat.

Not sure why people think this has much of a GF menu. Most of the meals come with stuff that isn’t GF.

It may seem casual and informal, but they do seem to understand and know what they're doing in terms of gluten-free requirements. Had a great Parmesan whitefish dinner (posting a picture).

I’m celiac but also can not have dairy and soy. It’s hard for me to eat out. The menu is well marked. A lot of dinner items. It was early so I had a hamburger with lettuce and tomatoes and a side of applesauce. It worked

Amazing dinner choices…had Parmesan whitefish. Homemade mashed potatoes, lots of dinner entrees that are labeled gluten free. Friendly staff. Couldn’t believe the people lined up to eat there!
