Not Celiac friendly although they have many gluten free options. Ordered a GF Belgian waffle and was exposed to gluten. Not sure if they have dedicated waffle makers for GF options or if the order was just done incorrectly. Very unfortunate.

They have a dedicated gluten free menu so no cross contamination. The food very good and they are very friendly. My daughter has never eaten cheese cake and they actually have gluten feee cheese cake. If you are dealing with celiac and want great food this is the place.

They will make their vegan roasted sweet potato quesadilla with a GF tortilla… it’s my favorite! Great diner experience. Gf cheesecake, pancakes, etc.

Dedicated fryer- best French fries I’ve had since diagnosis. They have an extensive GF menu. Delicious hot sandwiches on GF bread, and cheesecake. But they have breakfast lunch and dinner options available.

The staff was very knowledgeable, and our server immediately brought me the full gf menu when I asked about their options. They also have a dedicated drier and prep space. Being a diner, they have a little of everything from gf waffles and French toast to sandwiches and burgers to pasta. I ordered a burger and fries, and they were delicious.

I eat here fairly often. Every few weeks and have never gotten sick or even had cross contamination issues. The gluten free menu is plentiful and includes sandwiches, burgers, fries, pancakes, Belgian waffle, ravioli, other pastas, etc. The salads can be pepped GF as well. Delicious diner food and made by people who care about cross contamination. Dedicated GF kitchen prep space!

They are doing contactless delivery and curbside pickup during the pandemic.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten found in a celiacs food..not safe regardless of seperate fryer. Stay away

This diner was amazing. They have a huge gluten free menu with a ton of options you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere. I got a Reuben, and it was my first Reuben ever. It was great. The waitress was so knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone I was with loved their food. My fiancé is vegetarian and they had a huge menu with options for him as well. I live in PA and will gladly travel back here just for this diner.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of gluten free options. I posted a picture of the long gf menu. I tried the pancakes. Huge plate sized stack of three pancakes. They have sandwiches, wraps, burger, pancakes, waffles, and even cheesecake!

separate gluten free menu, dedicated fryer and work spscecin kitchen. So many delicious options ! I've eaten there three times and gave not had any issues. my new favorite dinner in the hudson valley :)

The chocolate chip pancakes are the best!

very gluten free friendly. separate kitchen area. New name, Empire Diner.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is great. All the staff are very well-informed. When they renovated the diner they added gluten-free prep area in the kitchen, a dedicated grill and a dedicated fryer. There is a specific gluten-free menu, but they are happy to adapt the rest of the items available in the diner which are numerous. Yesterday I was able to get a special including soup, french fries and dessert. Just like regular people. I've never gotten sick eating here.

This used to be Monroe diner with just gluten free pancakes, now it's Empire and they have a HUGE gluten free selection. I usually get the GF Ruben and it is by far- the best gf Ruben yet!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes
