I called to get carry out and they told me there was nothing gluten-free there. I asked about salads and they said they didn’t know if they were gluten-free.

I ordered a Serloin with a side of Brocoli and a baked sweet potateoh and I talked with the manager and he was very helpful and took measures to make sure my food wasn't contaminated. He informed the cooks before I was even sat and brought it out to me to make sure it met my needs and double checked on the food to make sure it was delicious.

I actually NEVER give bad reviews. But I don't want someone to get sick!! They're were plenty gf options all over the menu... I was so excited. After talking to the waitress, who had no clue about gluten, I realized that everything that they claim is "GF," even their gf English muffins and fries are actually cooked in the same toaster as everything else... MAJOR cross contamination!! :( So, if you have Celiac, like I do, or even gluten intolerant...Be really careful!!!

They had a menu and they were sure to clean the grill for me. The real test is how I feel about an hour later but right now I feel great! The server was well educated and this made for an enjoyable and yummy breakfast.

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

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

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.

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

I ordered gluten free omelette, hash brown and GF English muffin. The server seemed to understand. Service was slow and 45 mins later my breakfast came with toast on top. I tried to explain I wouldn’t be able to eat it. And the server wasn’t very friendly and said they run out of GF muffins and didn’t seem to underdtand that I couldn’t eat the breakfast after the toast had been put on top. I sent it back to the kitchen and went to spk to a manager who said they take allergies very seriously as she has certain allergies herself. I knew the server would just remove the toast and give me the same breakfast. Which she did!!!! The manager had a new omelette made for me. However the place was grubby and didn’t fill me with confidence. I didn’t get charged for my omelette, but I didn’t feel that was any consolation. The server apologised and said she was very busy!
