It was not that good of a gluten free experience especially if you are celiac with other food allergies The staff tried their best but my sons food got contaminated or some allergen was there because his lips swell and we had to give him meds I wouldn’t recommend but they have very good gluten free brownie which is packaged and can’t be contaminated

When asked if they had a gluten free menu they said no and did not offer to show any options that were gluten free. We had to push the issue and finally got an option of omelets. The waiter did not know anything about gluten free dining. I only received half a cup of coffee when asked for it.

Cute restaurant with a decent amount of gluten free options. There isn't a gluten free list but a packet of what contains gluten and what does not, as well as how to modify certain items to make gf. Hopefully they will offer gf pancakes at some point!

This is a chain restaurant and they have an allergy menu online, it is nice because you can see if a dish that you want is gluten free or if just one of the components of the dish has gluten (like toast or tortillas) that you could omit. They have gf bread for toast but the toaster is shared so I avoid it personally.

I’m not big on breakfast food so I get the chicken sausage patties and the potatoes with onions which is all very tasty (I usually double check that it isn’t all cooked on the same grill as pancakes and stuff which they are not) I’m pretty confident you could get an omelette safely if you like that just check with them if you are sensitive. Also the grits/cheesy grits are bobs red mill and GF.

My experience was good, I got an omelette it came with pico de gallo and fruit. You could also get home fries Wich they offered to cook separately so as to not contaminate them with gluten. It also came with gluten free toast Wich was okay especially with added jam and butter. Overall pretty good place to eat if you have a gluten sensitivity or allergy especially in Florida where the options are usually limited.

The French toast is not celiac safe. They have gluten free bread, but dip it into the same batter as gluten toast.

They do not have GF pancakes. Not sure why a review says that. Only French toast.
