Rodie's Restaurant & Pancake House

Let me start by saying our server and service was attentive. My moms meal was huge and she liked it. My meal was 2 slices of GF bread and maple syrup that cost more than her omelet, fried potatoes and 2 slices of toast. The server did not understand gluten allergies and assumed it was just a "healthy" choice to not want gluten. I asked if their syrup was GF, he had no idea what I was asking. His response was, "the maple syrup is a healthier choice". I again asked "do any of the bottles of syrup say GF on them?" He half hazardous shook his head no. I said it was fine to bring the maple syrup.

Normal French toast (2 slices of bread is $7. There is a $2 upcharge for GF. I love being "punished" for a disease I can't control. Anyway, the maple syrup was another $2 for a tiny sauce cup size. He told me it was $2 before I said yes to it but I didn't expect such a small size. So $11 for 2 slices of toast dipped in egg. Which I'm assuming is the same stuff they dip the regular bread in bc I had symptoms immidiatly. It could have been the syrup. Which wasn't that great and I question if it was actually 100% maple syrup. I know my toast was GF. The texture a dead giveaway.

I won't be returning here. I'm sensitive and my digestive system is still not right almost 24hrs later. I know my contamination came from here. I rarely eat out and am super careful.

Great waffle and French toast… ate here a few times during my stay in tarpon springs and each time was good. The staff is considerate and is able to answer questions to make you feel comfortable eating.

This place looks like it could be great but cross contamination everywhere. They use the same waffle makers and pans. Beware

Celiac friendly?

No

kinda pricy and the options aren't that great. free WiFi though. and lot of times the kitchen takes forever to get simple food out.

Very nice and clean restaurant. They have gluten free options that include toast, pancakes, French toast, sandwiches, and the gluten free waffle is mouth watering. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good breakfast stop
