No separate GF menu but the quinoa bowls are marked as GF. I had “the works” omelette and a piece of Uli’s GF toast with preserves (no butter). They have a separate space and toaster. The staff were knowledgeable and confirmed food as GF when it arrived at our table. I didn’t get sick and would eat here again!

Not a lot of options, but the sausage links and cheese grits are good. I also got a browned butter rice krispy treat that was GF.

Only one true GF option, the quinoa bowls. They have Udi’s bread but you can’t have butter due to cross contamination. Staff seemed knowledgeable.

My server was very accommodating and answered all my questions (I didn’t have too many as I already had specific dishes in mind). They have gluten free bread that is stored apart from the regular bread but all the bread is placed into the same toaster. (This is the reason for 4/5 stars instead of 5/5) I substituted my bread for fruit with my hash dish. Excellent food, did not get sick and felt confidence in the wait staff to properly accommodate me.

There is not a separate gluten free menu, but the manager and staff were very accommodating to all of my questions. They mark the order sheet super well so everyone in the kitchen knows you have a gluten allergy. I have Celiac, felt safe eating here, and did not get sick.

Only 2 options available. They sent me the wrong thing the first time and it definitely was not gluten free. By the time I got my order, my family was already done and the food wasn’t good at all. Do not recommend.

Placed order online for carryout with instructions of gluten free, no toast, no gluten free toast (as they use a shared toaster), order recived with regular gluten filled toast right on top of eggs. Beware and check your order. Back to the restaurant for a new order. Wish We would have checked before leaving.

They have allergens marked on a tiny print, complicated pdf online. So it’s difficult ordering. But they do have info available online. My eggs were runny, potatoes too spicey for my liking, and gf bread toasted was hard as a rock served plain with no butter or preserves.

I spoke with a three different people, including the manager to ensure my salad was gluten free. It wasn’t. I got home and smelled soy sauce in the dressing, so I checked the ingredients online, and there was soy sauce and it wasn’t gluten free.
