Denny's

Went inside to ask for a Gluten free menu, and was told that they did not have one.

They have items marked on the menu as gluten free, with an English muffin being a big breakfast draw. However, they do NOT / NOT use a separate toaster. I asked the server multiple times and even the manager and they said it is the same toaster and they just throw it in the slot where all the regular breads and English muffins go. Eggs, meats and hash browns are prepared on a separate grill from where pancakes are made.

I had scrambled eggs, a ham slice, and hash browns, all of which marked as GF and which the server said are prepared on a different grill from where the pancakes are made. The ham was a bit tough, the hash browns quite dry and tasteless until I added salt and pepper; nothing to make me want to go back.

Three (yes three) different cups of coffee came with 1-2 little gnats floating on top - the kind of gnats that often are found in houseplants, yet there were no live plants in the restaurant. They did comp the coffee, but it really made me wonder what might be running around in the kitchen.

Do not visit this Dennys location with Celiac under any circumstance!! They have gluten free English muffins, but it doesn’t seem like the cooks understand what the difference is between a gluten and gluten free muffin. They gave me a gluten muffin on my takeaway order and I didn’t find out until I got home. The grill and fryer are also not dedicated gluten-free despite the fries being labeled as gluten-free.

Once I arrived I asked if they have a Gluten Free menu like I was told, they said they didn’t. They managed to compromise with a burger with no bun. Wouldn’t recommend for a meal

Denny’s has gluten free options, but the servers do not seem to understand anything about out how stuff is prepped at this one, but the server brought the chef out to talk to me about how things are prepared. He sad each thing like eggs, bacon and sausage, and hash browns all have their own station. The gluten free English muffins are done in the same toaster though and he offered to clean it out but I told him not to worry about it.

He cleaned all the surfaces just in case something happened and he was happy to do it. Even came out to check on me and see how things were and make sure I knew he cleaned everything before even though those surfaces shouldn’t have had anything with gluten made on them.

I waited for 18 hours before doing this review to make sure I didn’t get sick and I have not. I usually get very sick very fast even from cross contamination.

Food was delicious. I got 2 linked sausages, 2 eggs over easy and hash browns

Let’s face it. We don’t go to Denny’s for the cuisine. Yet they are always my travel back up plan. I’ve never ever gotten sick from their naturally GF eggs, breakfast meat, hash browns or fruit. Always tell my server my allergy and apologize about needing extra care taken that my food is on a freshly cleaned section of the grill. Reliable food when on a road trip.

If you’re gluten free keep driving.

The GF english muffin that I’ve had at other Dennys and is advertised all over the menu isn’t carried here. There are still other basic options but a lot involve substituting a GF english muffin.

The place feels dirty as well
