Not much GF in the menu. When I informed them of my celiac the waitress handled it well and guided me to what was safe and not safe. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce with a side salad. The rest of my groups meal was good.

gluten free on the menu. You can have a plain salad. The food spelled really good. Too bad I couldn't eat any of it.

Food was good, limited GF options since I don’t like seafood. I had a Cesar salad with chicken and it was really yummy. No GF desert options. Server was knowledgeable.

No Gf menu. Nothing marked GF on menu Server was a little dismissive. To be fair, there aren’t many options I ended up doing the burger without a bun and did ok. Most dishes cannot be made GF so I’d suggest going elsewhere

Meat and sauces were gluten free along with a number of their sides including probably the best collard greens ever. Staff were knowledgeable about the menu items.

The docent at the Old Exchange recommended Poogan’s Porch to us for brunch. While their menu did not identify gluten-free items, the server quickly listed what I could eat. We were comfortable with the food and impressed with the fast service (we were overbooked and only had 30 minutes to eat). Plus, Poogan’s Porch is in a delightful old house that even was raised as a topic on our ghost tour!

I asked careful questions and was able to put together a meal (bunless bbq/cuban sandwich). The server knew some things were GF but not things like condiments, so I provided a backup choice in case she found out it wasn't safe for me. The food was good; the grits were the best I've ever had.

Went on the 4th of July, they were wicked busy and we sat at the bar— not GF menu, was told that there were items that were GF regardless. I ended up getting a salad.

After seeing the reviews on here, I was so excited to try something new on my travels. We arrived and were told that it was a 30 minute wait. We got a cocktail and waited outside. After 45 minutes, I inquired how much longer. We were told an additional 30 minutes. Our wait to get in exceeded an hour and a half. We were seated and I asked for their gluten free menu. They said they don't have one and I was told that my only "safe options" were either a salad or bacon and eggs (no sides). After waiting this long, we were starving. I decided on a salad. Our server was gone for a long time. She came back and asked if we were ready to order and that (in all seriousness) she'd start with "the complicated order". Our total wait once our food arrived was over 2 and a half hours. My one friend refused to even touch her meal, as it was stone cold and my other friends eggs were not only cold, but had sat so long they were rubbery. I ate half my salad and told the server we'd just like our check so that we could leave. We told her about our disappointment. She got very defensive and sent over the manager. Even the manager noticed the poor visual condition of the eggs. Our bill came. I was charged for my salad. This was my first and last time to this restaurant. Every bit of our experience failed us.

No GF menu but servers were very knowledgeable walking through which options on the menu were GF and which could be modified to be. Very accommodating to GF.

There are a few things GF on the menu that are marked. Not a huge selection but the pimento omelette was AMAZING! They even brought me house made chips and house ranch in place of my biscuit/butter.
