Elmo's diner gave us a gluten sensitive menu and when we ordered, the waitress came back to tell us the GF french toast was dipped in the same batter as the other bread. The same goes for the corn chips, french fries...dipped in the same oil. They might as well not have a GF sensitive menu. They also warn you on the menu that everything can have cross contamination.

Once you look at what can be cross contaminated, there are no options really. We went on my daughter's bday for lunch and all of our food came back lukewarm and contaminated. I was super disappointed.

The food was lukewarm except for the burger that had to be remade because they put a regular bun on it.

Unless there is a separate gluten free menu. As of today. Their main menu doesn't show any gluten free items.

Not celiac safe!!!! They have an extensive menu but most of the items are cross contaminated. You can request items to be cooked in a separate skillet instead of the grill. However I tried to order the gluten free French toast I was told that the gluten free bread was dipped in the same batter as the regular French toast contaminating it.

Had a terrible experience here. Ordered the hummus off of the gluten free menu and then asked about the ingredients and found out the hummus contained soy sauce. Was highly disappointing and infuriating. I will never go back. Definitely would not recommend but if you do go make sure you ask questions and make sure the items you are ordering off of the gluten free menu are actually gluten free.

Good prices and nice staff that were willing to cook in clean space and also use a clean batch of French toast batter so I could eat the GF french toast. If I knew I wanted bread items...I would go at a non-prime time honestly so I could be sure the kitchen wasn't swamped. But would definitely eat here again.

Gluten free bread available for sandwiches. I'm gluten intolerant and did not get sick.

At there this weekend around 12:30 pm. Packed to the gills. There seemed to be tons of options and the staff was great. Here's what the manager told me. During the week days, the grill is shared. But on the weekends the make one grill gluten free. If you are concerned you can let them know and they'll cook it separately in a skillet. He said it would look different, that make me smile. So that's what I did, it was a ton of food. Pretty fresh. Nothing foodish but it tasted great and was filling. We were on a day trip so I didn't take it home.

They have a separate menu.

By the way also dog friendly.
