Used to be great for celiac but since the new owners everything changed. They convinced me my burger bun was gluten free as it clearly wasn’t even from the look of it. I ate it and ended up becoming very sick

The Automat used to be a go to for me - exactly what all the other reviews say. Unfortunately after the management change the service and quality control has gone downhill. Servers/management have much less knowledge about gluten free options and the food itself was definitely of less quality. Disappointing.

I went here for the first time today. I was told almost everything can be made gluten free except 3 items. My waitress also needs to eat gluten free for health reasons, so she understood. I ordered the cloud pancakes. Wow!! I haven’t had pancakes at all since I’ve been GF and I LOOOOOOVED them! They actually had to make me a new batch of gluten free batter and asked if I minded waiting (of course not—I’m glad they are taking this seriously). So delicious! My non-gf friends enjoyed their meals too. Cute place with reasonable prices! I’ll be back for sure.

Went here for the first time today and there was a wait so i decided to order take out instead - I asked for a gluten free menu and while there is no separate menu the cashier said almost everything can be made gluten free with the exception of 2 or 3 things (he mentioned there is cross contamination in the fryer)After I placed my order he asked if I have celiac disease and made a special note of it on the order! My veggie omelet with GF toast was great! My boyfriend got a regular breakfast sand which and loved it too. Felt very safe ordering and will be back to try more

We come here regularly and always have a good experience and zero gluten reaction. The gf cloud cakes are some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Great selection of coffee which you can order if there’s a wait. Severs are knowledgeable too!

This place is AMAZING. The owners wife has celiac so the entire menu can be made gluten free in its own area. I had the loaded potato omelette, home fries and the cloud pancakes. Everything was incredible. Best pancakes I’ve ever eaten. The server asks you if it’s an allergy or celiac.

The food was amazing and when I asked about GF he said celiac or gluten free and when I told him I have a reaction but I'm not celiac, he just said they will say celiac just to be sure. There were so many options and the food was amazing. My husband who has no allergies or intolerances loved his food too. They can make most things gluten free and they have GF rolls and bread. Definitely one of my new favorite spots.

Fantastic food! They make their own GF rolls here so they are fresh rolls with your sandwiches. I ordered the grilled chicken Caprese with a side of Sweet Potato fries. It was great! They have GF chocolate chip cookies on the specials menu. Also very good. A bit of a wait but we did come here on sunday at noon so that was expected. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I don't live in the area anymore but I visit here often so I will definitely be back.
