We walked in and unfortunately the staff wasn’t well versed on gf or celiac. Saw one of the forks still had old crusted food on it. So we left without eating. Didn’t feel safe at all.

I'm celiac and I didn't have any reactions, with that in mind, if a person is a celiac eating at a diner, we take our risk, but this place does a pretty good job considering. When I read the complaints about cross-contamination and stuff, remember where you are eating and use common sense if you're celiac or even highly sensitive.

I have celiacs disease & a very sensitive stomach to gluten. We have been here since Thursday & have eaten breakfast here every day with no issues! They have a huge menu & are aware of cross contamination. No separate fryer. The potato skillets are amazing. The green Chili’s are GF & so are the smoothies!!

Definitely would not recommend. Good food, but they don’t do anything different while cooking to prevent contamination. Just ate there and already regretting my decision.

The staff didn’t really seem to want to accommodate my celiac, nor were they very knowledgeable about what would be safe.

Not good for celiac- if you are please don't go here, it's great food but it's not worth it. I got really sick. If you don't have celiac I would recommend it!

They have a gluten free menu and it does have lots of items on it. The server we had didn't seem very educated and It made me uneasy for the whole meal. I would eat there again but it worries me they are not careful.

Thought that there would be more gluten free traditional breakfast options. No gluten free breads. A bit disappointing.

The owners are very sensitive to GF needs as they have family and friends alike with concerns. With that being said, Sam's staff goes out of their way to ensure everything meets your needs.

Best GF breakfast in town. Periodically they will have flavored GF pancakes. If I could break free, I would take breakfast here every morning.

Excellent breakfast in great setting. Menu well marked for GF options. In the main it is simply replacing toast with corn tortillas. That means things like the beans and the excellent pork green chile are naturally GF. Good value and good service too.

Great breakfast spot featured on Food Network. Nothing fancy, but friendly quick service. Menu well marked with GF options and the Gluten Dairy free skillet was really solid.
