There is no GF menu. They cook everything on one grill. They said they would wipe it off but it was awkward. It’s late and I took a chance. The food tasted good but I’m starting to feel the tell tale signs of being glutened.

Celiac friendly?

No

I asked for gluten free options and was told they had none. I could order something I thought was gluten free and request no bread.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was there a couple of weeks ago, quick seating due to it being empty is the best thing I can say about my visit. 1st I ordered Strawberry Lemonade, the waitress brought regular lemonade and acted like it was a bother to get the correct drink. My Mom and I ordered the same omelet, mine without onions and my Mom's with crispy hashbrowns. I'm Celiac but told her I had a flour allergy, made sure no batter in the eggs, and subbing fruit for the toast. I thought she understood. When delivered saw that the crispy hashbrowns were on my plate, asked for an extra plate to switch them, instead she huffed and took them away to have the kitchen reverse them. After she walked away we realized the omelets were backwards, we took care of it our selves but in the meantime my Mom's biscuit had been sitting on my Omelet. I was afraid of her reaction if asked again and took the risk. I didnt get my regular reaction but was sick the following week.

I will add they were the saddest looking omelets and won't go back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Our server Lawrence made me feel confident that he would communicate our needs to the kitchen. There is a dietary needs menu with more than a few options. Elmer's can't guarantee gf but we felt like they cared. Both my celiac sons were happy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a great menu and keep the bread separate. They have a good selection and a great atmosphere.

My non-GF family decided where to go for breakfast, so I didn’t get a chance to look the menu over for GF friendly items. I appreciate how they indicate the brand of meat products they use. It gave me a chance to research GF status. According to Daily’s and Zenner’s websites, bacon and chicken apple sausage are GF. I always feel that omelettes are the best orders in a non-dedicated kitchen.

I mentioned my gluten allergy/Celiac disease to the servers and my concerns for cross contamination. They seemed knowledgeable and suggested fruit to substitute their biscuit side.

In town for the weekend, my family visited twice since our first visit was impressive. Everyone really enjoyed their meals AND I walked away safe.

First trip: Willamette Valley Omelette Second trip: Grilled Vegetable Skillet and I added the chicken sausage Both were absolutely delicious!

Inform the staff, emphasizing your allergy and asking for clean surfaces, glove changes, new utensils, etc. They will do their best to accommodate.

Update: They no longer have a gluten free menu, but can assist in some options that are GF.

We went here for breakfast and were told the “stuff on the menu without gluten in it is gluten free.” This resulted in me ordering something with gluten in it and getting partway through before i figured it out.

Celiac friendly?

No

I can only speak for their breakfasts because that’s all I’ve ever ordered here, but I have been going here gluten-free for years and never had a reaction. Let waitstaff know you’re gluten free. You can substitute a fruit cup for the bread. Very welcoming and attentive staff. It is regular American breakfast fare. The eggs, hashbrowns and bacon etc. are all done perfectly & the fruit cup is actually so fresh I eat it, unlike many other places. They will tell you the hashbrowns are gluten free, and I think they must separate them on the griddle because they have always been fine with me. Large servings. I prefer the lighter side dishes on the menu and it’s still a lot, plus about 20% cheaper. I love Elmer’s!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was super great! The GF menu is kinda small and “outdated” to use our server’s description, so she told me that they’d be able to work out something if there was anything other that I wanted. Once I specified celiac they made sure and double checked everything g was GF, making sure my food didn’t touch anything else! The food was a little on the greasy side, but that’s to be expected with diner food. I thought it was great!
