Eat'n Park

This place has GF buns and home fries. The staff was goid and the food okay.

The manager Jerry was wonderful! Great food and no gluten! We are very sensitive to even the slightest cross contamination. They were able to accommodate a soy allergy as well.

I am so thrilled that Eat'n Park is awesome about gluten allergies. As Roxanna mentioned, they take special care in preparing food for those with allergies separately and it is just as delicious as the non-GF food I remember having here in the past. And yes! The buns are awesome and you can buy them in house to bring home because they are made specifically for Eat'n Park. As soon as I ordered my burger with a GF bun and home fries instead of French fries, our waitress asked if I had an allergy and made a special note of it when I confirmed that I did have one. She took care in keeping my food separate from anything with gluten from the point it left the grill to the table. While my meal did come out well before my dining partner's, I appreciated the extra care that Eat'n Park takes in making sure that my meal will not only be delicious but the gluten-free meal I ordered.

I am always anxious to interrogate restaurants when they claim they are gluten free or celiac friendly, Between my husband and I we ask for tours of kitchens, talk to cooks,and read ingredient labels on their prepackaged cooking ingredients. Most of the time the food (meats and veggies) are fine and preparation is key, and usually they offer some sort of gluten free bread or bun for a fee, (usually gross) but its nice they try right? Well Eat,n Park in PA specifically lists Celiac disease on their menu, they change gloves, clean the grill completely, use different utensils (ones color coded separate for allergen cooking) and the menu has an entire section just for celiacs that is listed by breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like all of this but expected mediocre tasting food. The burger arrived, thick, juicy and dripping with cheese and bacon. The bun (my usual nemesis) I thought I simply would use as a handle to eat the burger. My first bite was divine, the bread was so soft, doughy, and held together wonderfully and didn't overshadow the juicy burger with the usual bitterness of gluten free bread. I loved it so much I asked the manager to bring out the label (he did). If you are ever in PA and would love to eat out with your family and enjoy your meal as much as you once did, go to EAT'N PARK!!! Salad bard was my side as their fryer isn't safe for fries considering they also fry breaded items in it, so they do not confidently offer it as safe.

Good solid place for breakfast . Several GF options for breakfast. Breakfast bun is, I think, the Glutino English muffin. I do question whether the omelettes listed as GF are in fact GF since they contain regular breakfast sausage which has, I think, fillers with gluten. And the GF menu is entitled “Gluten Friendly” which indicated to me they don’t really understand what they are doing. So definitely ASK. But servers are nice and my omelette was delicious and the coffee was great!

This place was quite a find. If you are driving across Pennsylvania, there are not a lot of gluten-free options. The woman who took our order was celiac and said they have a separate area and protocol they follow when handling allergies and such. We got the coleslaw and the grilled chicken bacon club. The bun was your typical Udi’s so next time, we’ll probably go with one of the dinners. There are a lot of options on their gluten friendly menu. If you’re driving through, I would definitely say stop in. There’s even a drive-through if you need to keep going.

I've been here a few times since going gluten free and I haven't have any problems so far. They have a decent gluten-free menu with a variety of options. Once, I asked if they could make a non-gluten-free sandwich into a gluten-free sandwich by using their gluten-free bread, and they said yes. A couple minutes later, one of the staff rushes to tell me that the meat has breading on it, and asks if I'd like the normal version without breading. Once I confirm that, the staff member rushes back to the kitchen to tell the cooks to use the normal meat without breading. Though not every staff member is completely informed about gluten sensitivities, because I once had a staff member ask me if I would like garlic bread with my meal after I informed them my meal had to be gluten free (They seemed new though so it's probably not their fault). Overall I'd say this is a safe place to eat, though if you have any additional concerns you can inform the staff (they are very nice).
