So I had the gluten free pancakes and was so excited because gf pancakes are a rare find (unless you make them at home). Anyways I felt fine eating them but a couple hours later I was vomiting and my stomach hurt and was bloated for days. Please watch out. I think there may have been cross contamination.

Gluten-free pancakes are ok, the charge an up charge of $2. Pancakes don’t come with butter so be sure to ask for it in advance.

Finally stopped vomiting after 4 hours and 2 Zofrans. Definitely was not gluten free. Staff seemed knowledgeable and said the had procedures in place for diners with celiac. I think my plate got mixed up with another order. I would suggest they used a different plate color for gluten free orders in the future. Celiacs BEWARE.

My boyfriend is celiac and we love coming here for bacon-egg-cheese breakfast sandwiches. They use to have gluten free biscuits but only have plain bread for the breakfast sandwich now. We still love them. Delish. Safe.

Staff answered questions about Gf offerings and cross contamination, but then put a biscuit and gluten coated potatoes in the same take out container and touching my omelet anyway. Found out when I got home. Was afraid to eat it.

I was visiting back home in PA and found this restaurant on GF app. Staff very knowledgeable about gluten free /Celiac. No separate GF menu, but staff explained restaurant could make GF. I had the GF pancakes...... Delicious! Best GF pancakes I had since being diagnosed with Celiac last year. My order had taken a little longer to come out, but the manager explained that they were cleaning the grill to make sure I wouldn't have a problem. A couple days later I returned to restaurant. I ordered the GF French toast BLT. Amazing!!!! I would highly recommend this restaurant!
