This is the one place I know I can eat and feel ok after. I always get the Popeyes omelette and ham fries and gluten free toast. Aside from the toast being a touch on the brown side for me, it's awesome every time.

Not celiac friendly. Was going to order the gluten free pancakes for my son and asked if they were cooked separately from the regular pancakes. Was told that not only were they all cooked on the same griddle, but that they couldn't cook them in a separate pan.

The server said the omelettes are cooked in a separate pan so probably one of the safer items. My celiac son had a Denver omlette and liked it. He had the GF toast on the side another day and was fine. We have eaten here with 2 celiac people at least 4x, and never had any issue. They also offer GF French toast.

Had a delicious omelet with fruit. Gluten free bread is toasted on the same griddle as the other bread. Some items marked gluten free (waffles, pancakes) but would be worried about cross contamination here.

Good variety options, I ordered a sandwich with gluten free bread. Bread was toasted when I got it and I had the server double check it wasn't toasted in a gluten toaster but it was. She was very kind, but clearly did not know about gluten free. I asked them to remake it not toasted and the bread fell apart almost instantly. I was very disappointed as I was told this place was very good for gluten free :(
