Stopped mid afternoon. Serve breakfast all day and menu includes gf French toast and gf pancakes. Wait staff knew gf offered on menu but limited in knowledge of celiacs. Cook however must have known more and when food was served waitress mentioned gf French toast was made on a separate part of the griddle. Also offered gf monster cookies. No reaction from our celiac to French toast or cookies.

The waitress did not know what Celiac was and was not sure how some things were cooked. In order to get something I could eat they charged me extra for a salad with my bun less burger. I will not be going there again.

Gave options, but no gluten free menu. Staff were not knowledgeable and even dismissive about the need to prepare separately to avoid cross-contamination.

No matter where you go, unless it's 100% gf, you take a chance. I take these chances. Most times everything is alright. Sometimes, not so much. Its definitely better than McDonald's.

I was given a tip by someone that I could safely have omelette, eggs, toast and bacon here. I ordered poached eggs with gluten free toast and confirmed when I ordered that they still have a separate toaster for GF. Happily enjoyed my breakfast and did not get sick. I was told that the pancakes would not be celiac safe because of cross contact.
