Selection of burger meals on gluten free sesame buns.....and they even do chips for coeliacs in a separate Grier. What more can you ask for? Along with the 60's music, it makes for a nice meal out....

I felt that Ed's Diner did not really take my daughters coeliac disease seriously. She had no choice the only option was a beef burger with a gluten free bun. I would not eat here again.

Very impressed. They have a GF menu, but the hostess and server were both very upfront that while they do their best they can’t guarantee GF during busy times. They do have a dedicated fryer and dedicated prep space for GF, so despite the disclaimers seemed very knowledgeable. We went for it and my son thoroughly enjoyed and had no reaction, so would definitely go again.

Asked on arrival if we had any allergies. They have separate menus covering a range of allergies. I ordered an all-day breakfast from the gluten-free menu. I was assured that they use a separate fryer for gluten-free. My meal arrived, and the toast didn't smell like gluten-free, and I was sure they'd said there wouldn't be any toast.. I had eaten a few tentative mouthfuls when the server rushed over and said there had been a mistake on the pass and this was a nut-free meal.. There was an instant meeting of chefs and servers to work out what had gone wrong and constant checks that I was ok. Their detailed analysis of the mistake reassured me that they really do care about their customers. I will return there with confidence, just making sure that the meal is definitely GF.
