NOT celiac friendly. No gluten free menu, no dedicated cook spaces or utensils, most wait staff don't even know what they offer that is or is not gluten free. I've tried going thrice and got sick once and had to leave twice before ordering.

There is no dedicated GF menu. When I asked what the options were, I just got a vague answer about not picking something with obvious wheat and that I'd need to remove things from some dishes. The waitress was very nice, but the food was only okay, once I found something to eat.

Order the sides. They have fruit cups l, hash browns and meat sides - back on, sausage (patty and link) and hash browns. Not perfect, but a start.

Knowledgeable staff. Shocked that I could eat at a diner style restaurant for breakfast! Awesome hash browns! They understood cross contamination. Yum!

While I did not ask if they had a GF menu, I spoke with my waitress, who seemed knowledgeable when I said I needed GF. She made suggestions to help round out my breakfast meal so that I didn't get "shorted" by the lack of the biscuit. (Would have really LOVED the biscuit, though!) I only ate breakfast here, so I can't attest to other GF options. But I may eat here at a different time of the day to see how they do. The crab omelette was excellent and filling. I highly recommend Elmers for breakfast, which is served all day.

Used to be a favorite. They no longer have a gluten free menu. The main menu has very limited items suited for a celiac diet. Basically steak or salmon. Wait staff did the best they were able to do with the corporate change in attitude.

I had a delicious omelet and Bloody Mary. They subbed fruit for the biscuit. The kitchen staff is mostly Spanish speaking so my allergy translation card came in handy. All the bacon and sausage were cooked in the deep fryer so the waitress didn’t recommend ordering those.

My non-GF family decided where to go for breakfast, so I didn’t get a chance to look the menu over for GF friendly items. I appreciate how they indicate the brand of meat products they use. It gave me a chance to research GF status. According to Daily’s and Zenner’s websites, bacon and chicken apple sausage are GF. I always feel that omelettes are the best orders in a non-dedicated kitchen.

I mentioned my gluten allergy/Celiac disease to the servers and my concerns for cross contamination. They seemed knowledgeable and suggested fruit to substitute their biscuit side.

In town for the weekend, my family visited twice since our first visit was impressive. Everyone really enjoyed their meals AND I walked away safe.

First trip: Willamette Valley Omelette Second trip: Grilled Vegetable Skillet and I added the chicken sausage Both were absolutely delicious!

Inform the staff, emphasizing your allergy and asking for clean surfaces, glove changes, new utensils, etc. They will do their best to accommodate.
