Be very careful and thorough when ordering here. Their gf menu used to be more extensive but they were using the same waffle irons/panini grills and it was making people sick. For awhile they refused to serve celiacs or intolerants, just people who had "preferences." I've been back a few times since they added back some gf options and took the signs down telling me to go away. 😂 Last time they had issues with my waffle batter (or iron, I can't remember) and they asked me if they could make me pancakes instead. They said they would clean the griddle and I ate my favorite dill potato flavor as a pancake. This has been hit or miss for me over the many years, but has been ok the last few times. Even as my gluten reactions are more strong and obvious than ever when I do have an issue. I have always found the wait staff kind and helpful.
