NO GF PANCAKES as it says they have - only a gf waffle - wanted pancakes

Very rude waitress. And they have NO options if you are gluten free and dairy free

Beat GF pancakes ever! I also created my own skillet combo too, but the potatoes are done in a shared fryer. I’m sensitive, not Celiac. Waitress was very knowledgeable about GF and let me know about the potatoes, I didn’t even have to ask her.

The only gluten free options for celiac or sensitivity/allergy is a plain gf waffle, eggs, and fruit. Not bad, but not great. The waffle was very bitter and dry. I did not get extremely sick, i did experience some symptoms.

Celiac friendly?

No

Was told that they do have a dedicated iron for their GF waffles, but not a separate griddle or area of the griddle for the GF pancakes. My gluten-sensitive (not celiac) friend had the Gluten-Sensitive Breakfast (a GF waffle, eggs, & fruit) and was ok. They did clean a separate area of the griddle to make her eggs (the eggs are cooked in bacon grease, which she can’t have), which was very nice. Due to the high risk of cross-contamination (I was advised that since they work with so much flour, they can’t guarantee that anything would be safe for celiacs), I decided not to eat. The people in my group said the food was great, though!

Celiac friendly?

No

Got the sticky bun GF pancakes. Really good and had no reaction

Our waitress was very sweet and helpful when it came to my questions. The pancakes were okay-not the best gluten free ones I’ve ever had. I ate everything fin without getting sick though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The sticky bun GF pancakes were delicious and did not give me a gluten reaction! (Gluten allergy not celiac)

You can get any pancake or waffle on their menu gluten free. Got the sticky bun pancakes and it was amazing. It was like 2 of my favorite things that I never get to eat anymore. So. Good.

The pancakes were really dry and had no flavor of their own. They might be fine if you add all of the sweets that they have on the menu to them, but I don’t care for overly sweet breakfasts.

The server didn’t ask me about cross-contamination concerns. The website is explicit that they have cross-contamination, but it’s not on the menu.

I thought this one was one of the better places that served GF waffles. Sausage was also delicious. We went 2 days in a row!

Celiac friendly?

No

I ate at the location in Gatlinburg, and let me tell you, this place is absolutely amazing. The best food that I’ve eaten in a long while. The waitress knew what celiac was, no need to explain. She warned me that they use the same grill, but ensured me that they would wipe it down before cooking my food on there. So delicious. Get the gluten free cinnamon swirl pancakes!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband and son both have celiac disease. My son was really happy with his bear pancakes with chocolate chips. My husband did not enjoy his blueberry pancakes, they were very dry. They were both fine eating here and were not glutened. I really enjoyed my omelet.

— Below Average

I got the gluten free breakfast, which includes: eggs, sausage, & a gluten free waffle. I waited forever for my food & when it came out, I struggled with even cutting through my waffle; it was so cold & was overcooked.. so it was a really leathery texture. I make better gluten free waffles at home. My sausage was even burnt too. I took a couple of bites of my food & was done. My family, who non of which are celiac like me, didn’t like their food either. They said their pancakes weren’t cooked with their add-ins, the add ins were thrown on top & their food came out cold too. Overall, I do not recommend, especially since we waited 2 hours overall, just to get bad food. Sawyer’s in Pigeon Forge is SO much better & they get your food out to you so much quicker too.

I was so excited to finally have GF pancakes until the waitress told me they were only 50% GF. Another restaurant that lacks understanding. Nice waitress.

Celiac friendly?

No

This place is horrible. The wait staff was miserable. They totally didn’t want to be there. My gluten free waffle was ice cold, as was the bacon. I’m already feeling horrible and we left less than 10 minutes ago.
