Worst experience ever. I don't recommend, at all. They do not take celiac or allergies seriously.

Went for breakfast and had their gluten free pancakes with eggs and substituted the bacon/sausage for fresh fruit. Was really good and they had tons of GF breakfast foods!

Awful! Went here for dinner. I told the waitress I was celiac and she said they don't have any gluten free options except pancakes. She did not seem to care about trying to work on getting something I could eat or taking precautions for my allergy. I ordered the pecan pancakes gluten free and there were NO pecans AT ALL on the plate or in the pancakes. The food is mediocre. It is extremely overpriced for what they offer here. I don't mind paying more for great food and great service, but you will not find that here. I do not recommend this restaurant overall.

The chefs mark gluten free pancakes with a special bamboo skewer in the middle! They are huge and taste pretty fantastic! I’m definitely going back!

Drove an hour and a half to Springfield for my birthday in feb and I was so excited to get gluten free waffles not many places around me have stuff like that. But the menu online and in restaurant is false advertising. After placing the order they came back to say they do not have any gluten free items.

Ordered food to go. Was a little nervous; the hostess didn’t know anything about Gf so I asked to order from a server. She knew more and could answer most questions but when I asked her to tell the kitchen it was celiac she said they’re careful if it’s marked gluten free but didn’t commit to telling the kitchen anything. Ordered the southwestern wrap with GF tortilla. No sides are celiac safe. So they subbed fruit and were kind not to charge me the extra $3 for subbing it as my side since they couldn’t give me another side. The wrap was ok. They have gf flat bread pizzas with gf or cauliflower crust but I didn’t ask about cross contamination for those. There are salads and sandwiches you could get GF. But again no safe sides. Was glad I didn’t get sick. Patio seating is dog friendly

What a great experience! SO many GF options and the service was outstanding. I even forgot to order my omelette without tomatoes, which I'm allergic to, and they gladly replaced it and assured me not to worry about it. A huge selection of GF options and I felt completely safe and cared for. Will DEFINITELY be back!

Menu says they have gluten free items when you order BUT THEY DO NOT. They won’t tell you until you try to get your food.

The gluten free pancakes are amazing. There is an up charge but it’s worth it! Their omelets ( I had the smoked lox) was delish.
