Denny's

Went on a tour of Union Station and this is the only restaurant in the area which was open that had gluten free food. The waitress had little idea of what I was talking about but gave the information os my allergy to the cooking staff. I always have an omelet and hash browns at Denny's as it is naturally gluten free. They have gluten free English muffins but are cross contaminated during the toasting so not safe for me.

I got sick. They put my gf English muffin in a normal toaster.

I’m not giving it a lower score because I talked to the manager after and I think they’ll do better.

I would be very very very explicit when you order. I think they can do it and it was just an accident

Gluten free items are marked on the menu. the staff double and triple checked that everything i ordered was okay. they had an alergen list that they brought out to make sure everything was okay for me. I didn't ask about cross contamination because it doesnt bother me. overall they do pretty well with celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their main menu has GF indicated but be careful about what could be shared in fryer. English Muffin used for burger was good! Some milkshakes gluten free.

Do not visit this Dennys location with Celiac under any circumstance!! They have gluten free English muffins, but it doesn’t seem like the cooks understand what the difference is between a gluten and gluten free muffin. They gave me a gluten muffin on my takeaway order and I didn’t find out until I got home. The grill and fryer are also not dedicated gluten-free despite the fries being labeled as gluten-free.

Once I arrived I asked if they have a Gluten Free menu like I was told, they said they didn’t. They managed to compromise with a burger with no bun. Wouldn’t recommend for a meal

Denny’s has gluten free options, but the servers do not seem to understand anything about out how stuff is prepped at this one, but the server brought the chef out to talk to me about how things are prepared. He sad each thing like eggs, bacon and sausage, and hash browns all have their own station. The gluten free English muffins are done in the same toaster though and he offered to clean it out but I told him not to worry about it.

He cleaned all the surfaces just in case something happened and he was happy to do it. Even came out to check on me and see how things were and make sure I knew he cleaned everything before even though those surfaces shouldn’t have had anything with gluten made on them.

I waited for 18 hours before doing this review to make sure I didn’t get sick and I have not. I usually get very sick very fast even from cross contamination.

Food was delicious. I got 2 linked sausages, 2 eggs over easy and hash browns

Let’s face it. We don’t go to Denny’s for the cuisine. Yet they are always my travel back up plan. I’ve never ever gotten sick from their naturally GF eggs, breakfast meat, hash browns or fruit. Always tell my server my allergy and apologize about needing extra care taken that my food is on a freshly cleaned section of the grill. Reliable food when on a road trip.

— No gluten-free information on the menu

If you’re gluten free keep driving.

The GF english muffin that I’ve had at other Dennys and is advertised all over the menu isn’t carried here. There are still other basic options but a lot involve substituting a GF english muffin.

The place feels dirty as well
