Great place! Our waitress, Claudia was really nice and friendly. They have a great Gluten Free menu. The GF meal came out with an allergy sticker... Which is so reassuring for those who have allergies. We've never seen this at any other restaurant before. If you have Celiac, this is a great option!

I ordered breakfast from here twice while in town for a wedding, and it was a lifesaver. Both dishes (pancakes, the brown sugar latte, and the traditional breakfast) were excellent, and I didn’t get sick (I’m very sensitive celiac). The delivery order was clearly marked with a GF sticker. Definitely recommend if you need a breakfast place in town!

This place was so great! They had a a separate gluten free menu! I had the GF Chicken and Avocado sandwich and they had a GF toaster for the bread. I can’t wait to come back!

Chiming in to support their Celiac safe cred. I eat here regularly and have never gotten sick. Better option than Egglectic. At breakfast joints I stick to egg dishes to stay safe; here the San Antonio skillet is so darned good I can’t bring myself to order anything else anyway. Great coffee and iced tea.

Wow, I am surprised at the harsh reviews prior to mine. I have to say I was very impressed with the GF menu and the variety of dishes I had to choose from! The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable of Celiac and assured me I would be safe eating here. The sweet potato skillet I ate was amazing and there were so many other delicious sounding choices that I cannot wait to go back. I am relatively new to my Celiac diagnosis and it’s so nice to find places that don’t just have a couple options but a full, equally delicious menu!

I usually don't write reviews, I hope this will be helpful.

My family is Gluten Free, my wife is Celiac. We got there early at 7am, not busy. For last day of school celebration as a family. We asked for gluten free menus, told the server we were all gluten free. My wife and daughter ordered 1st followed by me. As coincidence my wife and I ordered the same thing. Upon my order said GF meal name and wife said your getting the same thing, I agreed.

Upon arrival my wife and daughters order were correct and mine was wrong. They gave me a random gluten meal, which I promptly sent back. 10 minutes later they came back with the right meal but missing a side. Since we had to be at the sitter at 8 had no time to wait another 10 minutes for a side.

Upon checkout, the cashier asked of everything was OK and I said no. There was no Interest in remedies for my unhappiness. Only in a hurry to get me out. I am glad it was me who got sick and not my wife. She can be wiped out for days. I had to hurry to the bathroom.

To get sick at a not busy place, Celiac BEWARE! Go somewhere better like Butterfields.

They say they are gluten sensitive only. They cook the gluten free pancakes right on top of where they cook gluten pancakes. I've asked them to clean the grill for me and I'm not getting sick. Food tastes good.

My daughter (who has celiac) got glutened here - after ordering and verifying that her order was the gluten free pancakes. I called the restaurant after she got so sick and the manager told me that her plate should have been a different color, indicating that it was a gluten free meal, which all the wait staff should have known. Sadly, we don't feel like it is safe for her to eat here.

Great spot for breakfast. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and take celiac seriously. There was a mistake and my food came with an English muffin. The meal was quickly removed and they made me a new meal. Waiter even double checked that first meal wasn’t just “recycled”. Highly recommended

This is the second time we have been here and so far so good. I am celiac and have not had any issues. While they do not have a GF space in kitchen I have not had cross contamination issues. They have a GF cinnamon roll they get from a local bakery that is soooo good and the rest of the family really likes the other dishes. On our list of regular places.

This used to by favorite brunch place for celiac safe food, but the last time I went I got horribly glutened. My mom (also celiac) had the same reaction when she tried going again after that. I’m not sure if it was the staff or a change in protocol, but we made clear both times that we had celiac disease and they said they could accommodate. Please be cautious going here, I hope they can make it safe again!

Have been many times with my celiac family - no issues!

They have a huge GF menu, safe handling protocols, and even separate colored dishes to cue staff and diners that the food is gf. We love it here
