Had breakfast here, omelet w gluten free toast. Staff were very good about me having celiac & made sure to keep my food separate on the griddle.

Great experience, no issues for me as a Celiac. Going again for breakfast tomorrow!

No GF menu. They do have GF bread. The waitress wasn’t very helpful. I ordered the strawberry spinach salad with grilled chicken.

All sandwiches can be made with GF bread and tasted delicious. Staff was knowledgable regarding which items are GF and which are not.

I called and they don’t really offer gluten free, just oatmeal if you hold the granola.

The BEST peanut butter cookie EVER!! And it's Gluten Free! Very nice staff also. Thanks guys!

I had to change my review. They changed the recipe for GF free cookies so now they don't have any GF desserts except coconut pie. Boo.

Our group had a wonderful experience. Server was knowledgeable about which of their veggie burgers was gluten free. I had the garden salad with a scoop of chicken salad on top. My daughter got the veggie burger without a bun and tomato basil soup. My other daughter got a chicken Cesar salad. Everything was fresh and delicious and the staff was very attentive. Fun atmosphere. Will definitely go again if we are in this location!

Staff was very knowledgeable and made great suggestions. They make their own gluten free bread that is not crumbly. Had an amazing tomato basil soup, open faced sandwich and an amazingly decadent and delicious GF coconut cream pie-outstanding! No symptoms at all of feeling glutened.

Now called 55 Main St Grill. Set up like a Chipotle-burritos, bowls, nachos, etc. Mostly GF, minus the flour tortillas and they are happy to swap flour for corn tortillas. They have their own 'house made' corn chips- they're just like a plain old tortilla chip, except thicker and crunchier, and really good!

I was very disappointed to find out they weren't a sandwich shop, but glad we gave it a try after talking to people when we went in. Would eat there again.

Food is great, server was over-extended but still word really hard to make the experience a good one and the atmosphere is great.

Unfortunately, not truly gluten free. They have GF toast. With lots of potential for cross contamination.

This was our second trip to the gathering grounds (first time in their new location). First trip was good. This trip the server was very unfriendly, food was good but was cross contaminated (I had a bad reaction following eating there)

Would not recommend this place to anyone beyond having a "mild" gluten sensitivity.

Good food! Homemade gluten-free bread. Enjoyed thoroughly. I'm not celiac just gluten-intolerant, so I can't comment on that, but it was worth the trip off of I-81.

The atmosphere was great, too. Clean, friendly. It was the kind of place with board games- they welcome you to hang out for a while.

I'll certainly be back!

Gluten free bread is delicious, however the sandwich that I got it on was bland and boring. There were no gluten free desserts in the case. Staff seemed confused when I requested a gluten free menu and then served my sandwich with my husbands macaroni and cheese on my plate. Thankfully, I'm just intolerant and not a true celiac. Perhaps it was an off day, but we wouldn't come again.

Fantastic homemade GF bread! Sandwiches are to die for. GF desserts every day. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are scrumptious. We ordered a GF coconut custard pie to take home. Incredible. Great service and super friendly staff!

Great atmosphere, great food but not real fast. I had a their homemade GF bread and it was glorious! My boys played "war" with the chess pieces as we waited for food which was fun for them. Waiting on my piece of GF coconut custard pie now :) My son has many allergies so he was not able to eat the food but they were able to accommodate his needs as well as mine.
