I am celiac and dairy free. I have eaten here three times while traveling since being diagnosed CD four months ago. They have been helpful narrowing down my options to salmon with rice or a salad option. In an area with very few celiac friendly options I have been pleased.

Good burgers and knowledgeable staff. The burgers are on their own grill, but breakfast and fries share fryer and grill surfaces - I was told by staff at order. I went with the burger and opted out on the chance of CC. It was excellent.

Had grilled salmon and subbed the broc for green beans. They list GF on the menu. Also had the godiva cheesecake which is the only one that is GF. Felt fine afterwards

I had the shepherd’s pie and it was flavorful and delicious! Our waiter seemed very knowledgeable about gluten allergies and celiac and made suggestions about GF menu items. I had the gluten-free cheesecake with fresh strawberries for dessert, and it was also delicious! I felt safe eating here, and will be back.

Absolutely stomach blowing!

The staff not only uses separate equipment to prevent cross contamination, they change their very clothes! I was so pleased and surprised to say the least.

Also, so much of the menu is gf! I got the mashed potato omelette with fries and home fries, so delicious.

The portion sizes are enormous too, I got two full delicious meals out one!!!

Highly recommend, a bit pricy but absolutely worth it.

Have been eating here with family since I was a kid and have never had an issue with eating gluten free. They have a gf menu and staff is very knowledgeable. They have gf pasta, buns, and many more options. It is a busy chain, so there's always some risk but based off my experience this is a reliable option.

Was pleasantly surprised by how well I made out here, though given the other negative reviews I may just have gotten lucky. GF options are marked on the menu: burgers, salads, most of the steak/fish entrees, most of the breakfast options, and a handful of others. When I asked for a side salad the server said they had a separate fryer available for french fries.

Had a Mushroom Burger on a GF bun with fries, which they acknowledged as GF when they brought it out. Was very good and didn't give me any reaction.

Took home a piece of Godiva's Chocolate Cheesecake, which I think is the only GF cheesecake available, though a couple other desserts are marked GF as well. My stomach feels a little funky after eating it, but may just be how rich it was.
