Have ate here for years and have yet to have a reaction. Went for breakfast, gf items not marked but asked my server and she said they have gf waffles, pancakes, and toast. The waffles are made on a separate, gf only waffle maker!

Gluten free options not listed on menu. We went for breakfast. Advised they have no GF bread but have GF pancakes. Not an easy place for GF.

Owner’s wife has a gluten intolerance. They have lots of options and will cook items separately from gluten items if asked. They have a separate oven for gf options. Griddle is used for all types of pancakes and waffles, and though they clean it in between I’d exercise caution if you need to be strict with cross-contamination.

This used to me my favorite safe place to eat. Not so much anymore. The past two times I have eaten there my plates have come from the kitchen with gluten on them. Both times the servers were horrified, and quickly fixed the situation. I won’t order that particular meal again. I told the manager they need a refresher course in gluten allergies for the staff. I hope they do it.

While they said a lot of their options were gluten free, and the ratings here were higher, we were disappointed. Our son ended up incredibly sick for several days after, and my husband and I slightly because we didn’t have the same items.

Won’t be returning. Cross contamination is an issue. We should have left when they said “we can make anything gluten free” but couldn’t say what measures to prevent CC were used.

Staff knowledgeable about gluten, really enjoyed my pancakes. Became ill after one hour. Who was the cook?? Brought home a delicious to go gf desert that was delicious, and didn’t make me sick, so after a year, will try it again. Not many places you can “safely” eat breakfast, will tell them what happened last time so extra care is taken.

Slow service but food was good! They let me switch to hash browns for no extra charge because I couldn’t have the toast it came with.

Separate GF cookspace, oven, etc but the food isn't great. Imagine that crummy diner your grandma drug you to in the late 80s and this is a timewarp straight to that.

two visits with two entirely different experiences. 1st time: knowledgeable waitstaff, delicious food, no reaction. Had a wafgle a a hobo scramble. yum! 2nd time: clueless waitstaff, questionable kitchen, got super sick. had pancakes and a hobo scramble. the waitress said "the kitchen said the sausage has wheat in, can you eat that? Because he already made it so...." What? No. So, she promptly brought my food with the ham substitution. I got super sick. did they pick out the sausage and put ham in it? was the ham not GF either? I was really bummed because I had not eaten in a diner like that in many years and it was so good the first time.
