Only the milkshakes are not contaminated. Everything else has cross contamination in the fryer or on the grill.

Don’t eat here if you have celiac disease.

To begin with, the waitress told us that the fries were done in a separate gluten free fryer. We asked her to make sure, and she came back and said that they in fact were not done in a separate fryer. I asked for a side salad instead.

She proceeded to bring my gluten free burger out with fries, thus contaminating my burger, so I sent it all back. When she finally came out with my side salad, there were croutons on it. It took about a half an hour for them to actually get my food right, and my table was basically done eating at that point.

The gluten free “bun” is also just a gluten free English muffin that just fell apart.

All this to say I was very uneasy about eating here after the difficulty to provide me with the meal I asked for. I also felt ill after eating here. Won’t ever go back to a Denny’s.

There are many gluten free options listed on the menu but if you have celiac you can’t eat much. I had ordered a burger then 5 minutes later my server came out and let me know that I can’t get it because the grill would take too long to clean. I ended up just going for scrambled eggs & bacon but was informed I can’t have the bacon either because it’s also made on the grill.

Everything is marked GF on menu and there are a lot of options, but the server wasn't aware of GF status on items when asked and didn't have any knowledge of cross-contamination - I saw her use the same towel for the GF English Muffin as the toast.

In general food safety, I saw a lot of servers using bare hands to test the temperature of the food before they took plates to the table.

This Dennys was great! One of the cooks has celiac and the staff is very knowledgeable. They had a few GF options and a GF English muffin, which I used as a burger bun. They serve Dr. Pragers veggie burgers which are GF. They were knowledgeable about cross contamination and take extra precautions!
