Jackie B. Goode's Uptown Cafe

I came here with a bus tour group. They were only serving items with gluten so they offered some chicken mixed with steamed veggies, and a baked potato. Food wasn’t very tasty really bland. No GF dessert was offered either. Not returning if I can avoid it. I didn’t have any reactions.

— Below Average

They must have changed their menu. They no longer have gf buns- And I had my heart set on a juicy burger. The only gf meal was a grilled chicken salad. Should've called ahead. ☹

Worst experience. Called ahead to inquire and was told they had several options, including GF burgers and buns. When we arrived, was told nothing would be safe except a salad. Did not have GF buns. I asked about salad dressing and was told the only option would be to squeeze lemon on my salad. We left.

Rude hostess. Asked if they had a gluten free bun for their burger. The waiter said maybe but the hostess said NO! She could have been a little nicer than that. If I could leave no stars I would have.

Yes

Saw this diner on the app. Went, but waiter wasn't aware of the gluten-free bun availability. He said he had asked the cooks before, and they said they didn't have one. Due to recent reviews, I asked him to double-check with the manager. She said they did have GF buns. My concern was not that the waiter wasn't aware, but that the cooks might not be aware. They were very friendly and accommodating, and in the end my 12 yo got his delicious burger! I'm rating it lower because there is no actual gluten free menu or info to help me feel confident about what to feed my child. Also there was no designated fryer or other GF carb options that I could be sure were GF. But we did love the place and my son said GF bum was awesome! Having the GF bun was enough for me rating them Celiac-Friendly.

Loved their gluten free buns! We got burgers and they also made a grilled cheese with the gluten free buns!

Gluten Free bun was delicious, they do not have a gf menu or dedicated fryer but they do have burgers and salads some staff was very knowledgeable and others were mediocre at best
