I was pleasantly surprised that they had a lot of gluten free items available. I had the French toast and hashbrown casserole, the bread was fluffy and not super dense. Definitely putting them on the safe list!

Review
The one negative review was from someone who didn’t even ask which is shameful for a celiac. The owners wife is celiac so there are 2 kitchens in this place just for gluten free options. There is NO GF Menu because they will make anything on the menu GF. Pancakes, French toast, eggs Benedict… whatever you want it’ll get prepped, cooked, and served from the GF side and comes out marked GF. Love this place and the staff.

Review
The waitress was not very knowledgeable as far as GF goes, however she asked a lot of questions and then went back and got answers from the cooks! I ordered the eggs Benedict and they substituted the English muffins for GF toast. The hash brown casserole is GF and was delicious.

No gluten menu. Only three items that they claim are gluten free. No separate area for gluten free.

Review
I called ahead, and spoke with the owner. (His wife has celiacs.) They have a dedicated waffle maker, and fryer. He keeps the fryer off and sealed, to take extra precautions that no one uses it in peak periods. GF options are not marked, but I had lots to choose from!!! I ordered the West Coast Arnold on gf bread and substituted French fries since it was lunch. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Their potato casserole is gf!) next time I’ll try their mimosa!!! I’ll definitely come back!

Wait staff was very sweet and uplifting, even had the kitchen staff come out to discuss the layout of the kitchen and provided me with the safest gluten free options for me. I’m celiac and that meant the world to me that they cared enough to make sure I left feeling good and full! I’ll eat here again

The owner is amazing. His wife has celiac. The servers are aware of gluten free. When they are in doubt they get the owner.
They recently changed the recipe on the hash brown casserole so it is not gluten free. I got the roasted potatoes instead.
They make their toast on a clean pan. They have a dedicated fryer too.

Review
I have been here twice and have had a great experience both times. Had the GF Belgian Waffle with my breakfast the first time and had the GF toast today. I ordered the fries but found out that they have a dedicated fryer for that but it hadn’t been turned on yet. They were very apologetic and offered other substitutes but I was fine without it. There was enough food on my plate to fill me up. Also had the Sangria (wich was very good) because the Zing Zang they use for Bloody Mary mix is not GF.
