Black Walnut Cafe

Their gluten free pancakes were not edible. Also the pairing of the gf pancakes come with egg whites. Gluten free doesn’t necessarily mean I’m trying to not enjoy the other good flavors in the world! I just can’t enjoy gluten! This place does not offer much in variety. Would not return.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Love them! Their gluten free pancakes were actually really tasty! I frequent here for brunch every few months. Never been disappointed.

Although they have a gluten free menu, the staff didn’t seem very attentive when I notified them that I was celiac and asked about cross contamination. You know when you get the person who just goes, “yes, we do that,” but offer no additional information about their procedures or acknowledges that they can’t guarantee that there’s no cross contamination? It was one of those, and predictably I got sick from the Cuban sandwich with potato salad.

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.
