They have a gluten free pancake and gluten free waffle option but would not allow me to order blueberry pancakes made to be gluten free or the breakfast combo pancakes with gluten free pancakes even though it says you can substitute for a speciality pancake for an additional cost. The waitress said it was just a ‘weird rule’. The manager was asked, an older woman with blonde hair, and she was curt and just said the owner won’t allow it. The waitress was incredibly nice and helpful but the manager and owner I cannot say the same.

Our server seemed new and unaware of GF options - we had to ask for the chef. We were told the pancakes and waffle were cooked completely separate and that the eggs and omelettes and home fries were cooked separate. Our server brought our plates with toast alongside the GF dishes. Although they have some options that may be cooked separate, be cautious if you are really sensitive. May have just been the uncertain server.

First of all, our waitress had the kind of infectious energy that would brighten anyone’s morning. But the food was also a star. I had the GF waffle boat and it was such a treat. If I find myself in this area again, I’d definitely come back.o or

They have a fantastic gluten free waffle boat with fruit. They also have good gluten free pancakes not to mention pretty decent coffee. Both my brother and I have celiacs and we go here several times every summer.

I visited this restaurant yesterday, I got a glass of water and the gf pancakes that had strawberry and banana on it. The pancakes tasted like the frozen Vans brand so not great but it was ok. Two hours later I began feeling ill, and then spent two hours in the bathroom at the mini golf place where we had gone after breakfast. If the OA cay were the vans brand then they would be GF but something there got me really sick. When I called the insisted everything I had was gf, but what I experienced was a gluten a typical gluten reaction for me snd I hadn’t had anything else to eat before I went there. Every time I asked the wait staff about a GF question they didn’t have an answer and said “you’ll have to ask the boss” but it wasn’t like they went and got the boss they just said that and kept doing whatever they were doing. I would never go there again.

Ordered gluten free pancakes for $10 and they were horrible. Terrible after taste. Ate only bananas snd strawberries on top. Ate outside due to covid and there were bees every. Waitress wore mask under nose the whole time which was disturbing. You would think management would ensure their employees were wearing the mask correctly. Food was delivered quickly but waited forever for coffee creamers

GF waffles like the real ones I used to eat twenty years ago when I didn't realize I had this allergy!!! Added bonus they DON'T price GF items at a premium price. So very nice to have something that tastes normal and not be overcharged just because they know we'll all pay more to eat like normal people :)

We have celiac. Service was good and those without celiac really enjoyed their meal. While no one got sick the pancakes were the vans gf pancakes from a box and $10.

Waffle boats were wicked good! Irons are specifically for gluten free foods. Would totally recommend! Waiters were very friendly and lots of space for many tables so we did not have to wait at all! Also the freshly squeezed orange juice was heavenly. Not a lot of pulp like i expected and was a perfect size!

This place is heaven. Always nervous going to new places for gluten free food but it was absolutely delicious. I got the silver dollar pancakes and asked for apple cinnamon toppings and it was definitely one of the best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever had. Staff is knowledgeable and very kind as well. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Only options under Gluten Free are waffle boats with fruit or silver dollar pancakes. Don't have GF toast, and if you get an egg dish that gets a side of pancakes they won't let you sub GF pancakes
