Black Walnut Cafe

Waited inline and they took order that they had gluten free pancakes, whole reason I came here as we can get eggs anywhere, and after going to table and paying, they didn’t have any. What a JOKE!! Don’t have gluten free on menu if u can’t stick ur kitchen....don’t come here thinking the staff knows what’s going on in kitchen!

Ordered off their Gluten Free menu and specified that I have a gluten allergy. They acknowledged this and even put on the receipt that I have a gluten allergy, but I still got glutened here. Food was delicious, but sadly it’s definitely not Celiac Friendly.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff was very knowledgeable and assured me that precautions would be taken to prevent cross-contamination. They used Udi’s gluten free bread to make my sandwich and it tasted normal! They were very busy but managed to keep my meal safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate gluten free if you ask for it. When you order they ask if it's an allergy or "preference ". I got the lobster tacos. So good! In corn tortillas and they don't put croutons on the side salad. It is family friendly and my children and husband were all happy with their meals

They have a fairly large gluten free menu, and the staff is fairly well-versed on what that means. The food is top-notch and delicious. I loved the lobster tacos, and discovered that Udi's bread has gotten way better than the last time I tried it. They served it with the salmon spread and it was great.

Yes

great gluten free pancakes!!

Absolutely wonderful! Great food and atmosphere. Lobster Tacos were to die for and Bacon and Tomato Grilled cheese with gluten free bread was very good too! Daughter had quesadillas with corn tortillas and garlic mashed potatoes and loved them. Fantastic restaurant. We can't wait to come back.

The only thing the restaurant had that was specifically gluten free was bread. However they could not sub the gf bread into French toast or eggs Benedict.

My mom and I dined here for lunch. She told the employee I needed GF bread since I have an allergy, but when the food came out, I noticed it was on a regular croissant. I asked the manager (who brought us our food) if the bread contained gluten since we specifically told the woman who took my order that I have an allergy. He was extremely apologetic and gave me a new sandwich with fresh fries. The fries are fried in the same oil as meat, so to err on the safe side, I took Gluten Cutter.

They do have an entire GF menu, and I was extremely impressed with the options.

Celiac friendly?

Warning. They do not make gf pancakes on weekdays. They also served our allergy gf omelet with the regular toast rather than the gf toast.

They have gluten-free lobster Benedict and a really good beef burger on GF bread. The GF bread is GF bread, but at least it is a choice. Every lunch, dinner,or breakfast has been good. They also sometimes have GF pie.
