The location in Ferndale Mi has no gf bread or pancakes. Only eggs and salad were safe to eat.

I have eaten the wraps, pancakes, omlets, hashbrowns, eggs, meats and delicious greek salad. One of my favorite places to eat!

Good gluten free pancakes. Even had a BLT in a soft tasty wrap.

Yes

I decided to go here based on reviews and was thoroughly disappointed. As soon as I walked in I asked the hostess about their GF options and kitchen procedures. She informed me the waitress would be able to answer my questions and sat me with a regular menu (they do not have a gluten free menu). When my waitress came over I asked her what was gluten free and she said the pita and pancakes. Is asked if there was anything else and she said no. (She thought a basic fried egg had gluten, aka she was utterly clueless and had no idea what gluten was). I then asked how the pancakes were prepared and cross contamination concerns she became very aggressive despite my best efforts to be patient in my explanation. I asked for a manager and she refused. Needless to say I walked out and went to Ford Garage instead. Was not worth getting sick because someone was to rude to ask for help.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have gluten free pita! It’s a little doughy tasting but it was so nice to have Saganaki with bread again.

Yummy pita and hummus. Pancakes. Really wonderful wait staff, super helpful. We really enjoyed eating here! Nobody got sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer gluten free wraps and pita bread so lots of options are available. Their salads are very generous and most are gluten free.

Great little restaurant where locals hangout. Gluten free pancakes were wonderful and the sign indicated they also have GF pita bread. Clean and friendly. Will definitely go again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pancakes and pita. Haven't had a reaction and I've eaten here many times. They seem to understand celiac issues.

Fluffy incredible pancakes and pita available all day every day.

Love this place ! They have multiple GF options for all meals and I feel so safe eating here. I learned that one of the owners has celiac so they know what they’re doing! Note: it’s just this Red Olive - others we have tried to not have these options available

No separate gluten free menu but they had gluten free bread, wraps, spaghetti. The problem is they use the same griddle for everything. They offered to make my omelette in a separate pan that they only use for eggs - omelettes are usually made on the griddle. The waiter talked to the cook before I ordered to make sure.
