Golden West Cafe

They have a gf menu but it’s better to just talk to the staff to fully understand your options. They are very knowledgeable and are always really nice about it. I have never gotten sick.

Went for a brunch on a steamy day! The good: incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff, obviously care a lot about gluten allergies and Celiac. The bad: the GF menu does not always indicate all cross contaminants. It’s currently online, and about half were fried items that would be in a gluten fryer. This really limits your options. Just be clear with your server, and know that if you have Celiac’s, you’ll be fairly limited. Still a really nice experience.

While Golden West does mark GF on their main menu, they still have a specific gluten free menu that you need to ask for. That's because the gluten free menu specifically calls out trace contaminations! Whereas the normal menu does not. The wait staff is well aware of this and will mention it if you do not.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had an entire GF menu and my meal was delicious. It had a good amount of variety on it.

They have gf and vegan menus. The gf menu warns of possible cross-contamination, so be sure to warn the server that you need to be gf. That said, they must be pretty careful! The waitperson usually asks you if you are allergic or gluten intolerant. Because in the past 10+ years we have eaten there I have only once wondered if my misery was their fault. We eat there several times a month. They serve breakfast all day.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
