Sunliner Diner took us on an enchanting journey back to the '50s with its charming retro-themed ambiance and an amazing staff that made the entire dining experience enjoyable and memorable. Their exceptional service was like a cherry on top of an already delectable sundae.

Their consideration for diverse dietary needs is commendable. Although there is no dedicated gluten-free menu, they do offer a decent range of gluten-free (GF) alternatives. The GF bun is deserving of special mention. It was light, fluffy, and tasted great with the generously portioned burger, which was so large that half of it was more than enough for a single sitting - making for a great meal to look forward to later.

My husband tried their Sunliner Burger and gave it two thumbs up. The balance of textures and flavors was perfect, making it a treat to the taste buds. The real star of his meal, however, were the onion rings. With a perfect crunch and well-seasoned batter, they were simply fantastic.

For those with a gluten intolerance, it's worth noting that the fries at Sunliner Diner are not gluten-free. On the other hand, they have other gluten-free side options including coleslaw, green beans, a side salad, and mashed potatoes. Although I didn't try the coleslaw, green beans, and salad, it's good to know that these options are available for those in need of GF alternatives.

As for the mashed potatoes, I can confirm that they are gluten-free when served without gravy. They were just okay, but a welcome option for those steering clear of gluten.

All in all, Sunliner Diner beautifully merges the nostalgia of a bygone era with the modern necessity of catering to various dietary preferences. Despite the lack of a dedicated gluten-free menu, they score high on making available a handful of gluten-free choices. The meal portions are generous, and the culinary experience is quite satisfying. This place is a must-visit, just remember to come hungry and make sure you don't miss out on their incredible onion rings!
