GF menu was just a paper stating substitutions you can make to make somethings GF but it wasn’t very comprehensive. I asked the waitress if omelets can be GF. She said she didn’t know so it was better not to order it - instead of going back and asking the cooks. I got the GF strawberry and salted caramel waffle. Waffle was not very good. I forced down half because I was hungry. I’ve had gf waffles at restaurants before that were amazing so I know it can be done.
Very cute place. Very roomy. Very knowledgeable staff about cross-contamination.
We had brunch here and the server seemed pretty knowledgeable. She warned us that the potatoes are fried in the same fryer as other things, so those are cross contaminated. But everything else was fine to eat. We had GF waffles, pancakes, and other breakfast items, and they have GF options for English muffins, toast, etc.

Staff is very knowledgeable about Gluten. Waffles, pancakes, omelettes, & other items available. Celiac safe as well, just don’t get the potatoes/fries since they share the same fryer.
Went for breakfast, the pancakes were good and the orange juice from fresh squeezed
Online they have a legend with a marker for things that can be made gluten free, but the menu in house and online were void of any items marked with it. I asked about a GF menu and was told they don’t have one but that the waitress could list them, and she did, all bread products that are GF but no info on the actual menu items. I asked about egg dishes and was told “You’re asking the wrong person”, she then went away to ask and came back and said eggs are ok but at that point I was playing 20 questions. She said if I needed for them to exclude the butter to make the dish safe they could… ummm seriously? I asked about the potatoes and she said they weren’t safe and I should avoid them so they didn’t try to kill me. I had no feeling of safety so I left before ordering. A different waitress, or speaking with a manager, or better marking of the menu may have made that a completely different experience, but as it was we burned a 20 minute wait for nothing.
Brought kiddo (celiac) after reading reviews. Good was amazing and staff were awesome. I had to keep asking if it was really GF, could not tell the difference!!
My 13 year old has celiacs (She also has severe food reactions to dairy, egg, and coconut. However, can have eggs cooked in things as well as butter.)
She got the GF French toast, GF toast, and bacon and loved it!
We do quite a bit of traveling and I'm always a bit nervous. They did a great job!
PS - did you know there is now a gluten tester called Nima?! You can use that to be sure.
Delicious gluten-free breakfast. Staff knew what we needed, knew what we could safely substitute and advised against ordering menu items that could be cross contaminated.
The staff knew what gluten free was. We have eaten there at least 20 times at any time of the day. NEVER had a problem. So nice to feel safe to eat

Staff is knowledged. The first option on the menu was delicious (chicken panini and aioli). It should’ve been a panini, but to accommodate it to glutenfree I got toasted gluten free bread. As side dish the salad (which was also tasty) was available instead of the fries. Probably because they used a shared fryer.
super disappointed! Shared toaster, shared griddle for pancakes/waffles, shared fryer—a nightmare for those sensitive to cross contamination. I got eggs/bacon/untoasted bread, I won’t be coming back here again
(also, when our waitress asked the chef about shared surfaces, he said that the heat kills gluten…nope)
Amazing breakfast options. Pancakes, French toast and waffles. Plus GF omelets
Complete disaster. Asked for a gluten free menu or if she knew any options. She said I could get a gluten free waffle or pancake or toast. No GF menu or options. It was dinner time. Ugh. Settled on the prime rib sandwich on GF bun. Came with fries and then when delivered I asked if they were GF. She went to the kitchen and came back and said no. Just no concept.
had gf items labeled. not much to choose from, but at least a little variety. WARNING: the breakfast potatoes on the gf meals are not gluten free? i’m so glad i double checked. if you order gf make sure you ask to switch the potatoes to their red potatoes.
