Disappointed as they used to offer some GF pancakes etc.Fruit cup was the only safe option as anything else risked cross contamination.

Loved the options but definitely are not great about cross contamination or verifying orders with the kitchen. I’ve had 1 good experience and 5 with pretty quick issues. One I called the server out for it not being gluten free and they argued me that it was, even though it looked and tasted exactly the same as my husband’s which wasn’t GF.

Always an easy go to for our family. We had a very aware server on our first couple of trips, so gave us a good safety comfort level. Our son with celiac gets a stack of pancakes every time and has never had an issue.

Both my kid and I had pancakes- blueberry for me and banana Nutella for my kid. My kid really liked their pancakes and enjoyed everything about the place. I thought the pancakes were tough and over priced ($4 up charge for gf pancakes? If they tasted better then I wouldn’t mind as much). But… it was nice having a place to go for breakfast and my kid had no issues afterwards, so we will be back.

Most servers are well versed on gluten-free requirements, food is excellent, nice atmosphere

No separate GF menu, however, servers know which items are gluten free, including meats and sausages.

Dedicated area for prepping gluten free items. Very responsive to my questions. Sausage is certified GF brand. Lots of choices. I had a Belgian waffle with fresh blueberries. I am celiac. Would go again.

I iformed my server of my gluten allergy before ordering. I ordered a waffle marked "certified gluten free" on the menu. I felt sick within 10 minutes of starting to eat and left 3/4 of the waffle on the plate. I told the manager when I paid for my meal, she seemed very concerned and said she would look into it. Even so, I would be careful about dining here if you have celiac disease or a strong gluten reaction.

Horrible experience. We took our 3 year old son who has Celiac. We talked with the server to let him know. No problem he says. We ordered him bacon and eggs and asked to double check that it would still be cooked on separate equipment, ya don't worry about it. Our food comes out on a tray and the plates are extreme close to one another some of them have gluten food on them. Well our son has been complaining about his stomach and has a rash. We will never go back again. Really sloppy approach and attitude around having a Celiac friendly restaurant.

The gfree pancakes were very good! The omlet, though, was a bit bland. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable, very attentive. Probably wouldn't come back, though, because I feel like there are overall better options and better prices elsewhere.

Years ago was told their corn beef hash was GF. It clearly was not given the days of illness that ensued. I've since gone back to find that their knowledge and offering have greatly improved. I would certainly recommend this to other CD folks.

The waitress we had appeared very knowledgeable about gf allergies! She did a lot of little things that helped reduce the anxitiy of eating at a new restaurant with an allergy. She repeated back the gf part both at ordering time and when the food arrived. They have a good gf menu also! We had the chocolate chip pancakes and they were great!! The staff even knew not to put whip cream on! Couldn't ask for a better experience.
