Food was okay. Eggs Benedict overcooked. Waitress did not know much about gluten free eating. CHEFS DID NOT KNOW IF PRODUCTS WERE GLUTEN FREE. Shared toasters, so gluten free toast is cross contaminated.

They’ve made some nice updates to their menu so that GF items are clearly marked. Substituting udi’s toast is no extra charge. Food tasted really good.

Not a gluten item in sight. What a waste of time trying to find this place. They had no idea what gluten even is.

This is a chain restaurant and they have an allergy menu online, it is nice because you can see if a dish that you want is gluten free or if just one of the components of the dish has gluten (like toast or tortillas) that you could omit. They have gf bread for toast but the toaster is shared so I avoid it personally.

I’m not big on breakfast food so I get the chicken sausage patties and the potatoes with onions which is all very tasty (I usually double check that it isn’t all cooked on the same grill as pancakes and stuff which they are not) I’m pretty confident you could get an omelette safely if you like that just check with them if you are sensitive. Also the grits/cheesy grits are bobs red mill and GF.

My experience was good, I got an omelette it came with pico de gallo and fruit. You could also get home fries Wich they offered to cook separately so as to not contaminate them with gluten. It also came with gluten free toast Wich was okay especially with added jam and butter. Overall pretty good place to eat if you have a gluten sensitivity or allergy especially in Florida where the options are usually limited.

The French toast is not celiac safe. They have gluten free bread, but dip it into the same batter as gluten toast.

They do not have GF pancakes. Not sure why a review says that. Only French toast.
