Black Walnut Cafe

Asked for gluten free menu. Given a menu that listed gluten food in 90% of the items. Selected Texas breakfast figuring it would be safe. After it was served, I asked the waitress if the bread was gluten free. She said it was, but the potatoes and the jam((!) were not. She brought me fruit to replace it. Basically, I’ll never return. It was the worst gf restaurant experience I’ve had.

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.

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!

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.

Celiac friendly?

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.

They only have their GF pancakes on the weekends

I love Black Walnuy cafe. The food is always fresh. My favorite meal is the Black Walnut Salad with grilled chicken. I just ask for no garlic bread. The menu is clearly labeled with gf items. On the weekends they serve gf pancakes. This location also has a nice outdoor covered patio.

This place is very careful and the food is awesome! Make sure you say that it is an allergy not a preference and they will mark your order that way so that it is prepared carefully! All the food is so good!

Have gone here two mornings in a row. Most staff are knowledgeable about GF options. Griddle items are not gluten free, and neither are the house potatoes. First morning we went, they put house potatoes on my plate even after mentioning the gluten free requirement. The next day they informed me that the potatoes were not free of contamination and offered me a different side (this explained why my guts were leading a rebellion) so just be aware.

The last two times I have been here they have put regular bread on my salad that I specifically ordered gluten-free. This time I had to force the issue of completely remaking the salad.
