Staff made sure I had something safe to eat even though they were incredibly busy. They seemed super knowledgeable and double checked that my order was safe with a manager. The gluten free toast was average (but edible! We will take what we can get lol), but the rest of my brunch was amazing.

This might be the best gluten-free food I've ever had. The menu doesn't say what can be made gluten-free, but I spoke with the waiter and they assured me that anything could be made safely. The food was unbelievably good!

Celiac safe diner food! The gf pancakes are amazing especially with blueberries added. The gf toast is actually good as well! The waitress assured me gf food is cooked separately and the kitchen is very careful. I had gf pancakes, home fries, eggs and gf toast and didn’t get sick!

This was a gem! The food was great, the staff was knowledgeable and lovely! The asked if GF was an “allergy or preference.” Once we told them celiac they told us that all of the food we ordered would be cooked separately! Great diner!!

Best gluten free pancakes I’ve had. To be fair I haven’t had many, but my non-gluten free family also liked the GF pancakes. Before I developed gluten sensitivity this was my favorite place for pancakes so I’m glad the GF ones are good as well. In addition to pancakes they have plenty of other good breakfast options including GF bread for toast.

Have been on the hunt for gluten free pancakes in the Boston area and finally found some. These gf pancakes were incredible and the home fries are also safe to eat. They had gf bread options as well and the sandwiches looked great. Will definitely be back again.

This is a great brunch spot! They have a range of gluten free options, including pancakes and toast. The cooking space is pretty tiny so there's probably some risk of cross contamination, though I haven't had a reaction here.

It's a nice diner and great for breakfast. Their pancakes hit the spot if you used to eat gluten and have that craving. They also have jonnycakes and blue corn jonnycakes, which are good, although can be dry.

I know that they wipe down equipment but I'm pretty sure they don't have anything dedicated gluten free so if you're highly sensitive then this isn't the place for you.

I can't speak to their lunch/dinner menus but like I said, breakfast is very good. It's a relatively small space and gets very busy on the weekends. There's another breakfast joint down the street - people tend to check at both.

So this place isn't really GF if you have Celiac or are very sensitive. They offer GF bread/toast but don't have separate toasters. The bread goes in/on top of other regular bread! The cook top they cook on can be wiped down for GF pancakes but not sure that they realized they also needed to do that for my turkey bacon. This is a great place if you aren't GF but I don't think I can eat there without worrying.

This restaurant was recommended to us by someone from a gf bakery so I felt it would be a safe option. Waitress asked "preference or allergy"? She explained for allergy, items are made in a separate area/toaster. We ordered pancakes, eggs with gf toast (Udis), and corned beef hash (homemade!). Great food and fun diner environment.
