The service/staff is great and the food is delicious. The staff refers to food as gluten sensitive. But I had no problems and I am highly sensitive to CC. The pancakes are a must try.

Omelette was good. Pancakes were meh. I opted for fruit instead of grits or potatoes. I was pleasantly surprised that it was berries and watermelon.

The portions are large and breakfast starts at $13 per person (no beverages.)

Waiter was attentive to ensuring the order was GF, but stars off for not having GF bread. Is it really that hard to keep a few loaves in the freezer?

The pancakes aren’t good or worth the money. They are small and taste gooey. They need to go back to the old pancake recipe.

The only GF bread option they have is tiny pancakes they call sliders but they were pretty good. No dairy free milk options for those who have other allergies or intolerances. Worst coffee ever, totally burnt. Eggs were dry but aside from that the food was pretty good. Not worth the trip though.

I love the food here and have never had an issue. I've knocked a star off because the service is relatively slow and another star off because they just recently started charging $1.25 for GF syrup (beware - the regular syrup is not GF). Still, it's the only place nearby that I've found that serves GF pancakes, so I'll be back...

Banana Fosters gluten friendly pancakes were delicious. Be prepared-they are very sweet.

Scrambled eggs were undercooked and runny in the middle. I couldn’t eat them.

Bacon was delicious and cooked perfectly.

Went with my celiac husband for breakfast today, we confirmed several times he had an allergy and not just a sensitivity and they reassured us they use separate pans, etc and take precautions to prevent any exposure. They told us to stay away from potatoes which we did and there was a miscommunication and they gave him the wrong food which made him nervous. They fixed their error and got him a new omelet and he did end up with a reaction soon after. I WILL say I appreciate the separate menu, and that they warned us that their food is not guaranteed to be GF but they try to limit. The waiter also really did seem to knowledgeable with what was best or worst to get. You’re rolling the dice eating here for sure if you have celiac.
