Review of Railside Cafe

The staff here is aware of cross contamination and will wipe down the grill for you. However, they are not completely aware of the risks, as evidenced by the fact that they say they can wipe down the toaster and clean it out (there's no way to completely clean a toaster of gluten crumbs). So, don't ask for gluten-free toast unless you ask them to do it on the grill. They offer uncontaminated butter for all who ask for it/say they are Celiac. The staff is very honest about they are and are not able to do for you.

Portions are reasonable, and you can order the number of pancakes you want. We ordered one plain, one blueberry, and two gluten free chocolate chip. My son who is Celiac was able to eat the scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon, and gluten free pancakes. The staff is very helpful about answering questions related to the safety and menu options for Celiac/gluten free. My son said this was the most delicious gluten free breakfast he's ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly! Both myself and my husband who are not gluten free think the gluten-free pancakes are delicious!! It was so nice to be able to go out together as a family again for breakfast.

They have several homemade baked items. Sometimes they have gf baked goods. They had several specials today such as asparagus & cheese omelet and fresh fruit cups. My daughter absolutely loved the split pea and ham soup. She was happy to be able to order lunch while the rest of us ordered breakfast items.
