Denny's

I was happy to see so many options on the menu. Ordered the create your omelette with the gluten free English muffin. I let the waitress know my food allergy and that it needed to be GF. Had to return the omelette because it was greasy and had the wrong ingredients I selected. Second omelette looked good but after eating a few bites I started getting the stomach pains. Will not be returning. I’m not sure the seriousness of being GF was understood.

Not celiac friendly! At all. The scrambled eggs have flour in them. They have a menu but the staff had no idea what was what. That means accidents can happen easily. They said they can never be sure its more for optional people not anyone with an actual issue.

What I liked about Denny's is how they already have GF labels on the menu making it easier for us to know exactly what you can eat. I also let the waitress know my situation and they took good care of my skillet, which was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-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.

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
