I only order omelets, fruit, and yogurt. It’s the only options I know on the menu that should be gluten free. They don’t accommodate gluten allergies so it’s not safe from cross contamination.
No gf menu, but accommodating. There was one seasoned waitress that was very knowledgeable. There is one griddle that's safe for gf eggs and omelets. There were a few sides that were gf too (cottage cheese, yogurt, etc). Didn't get sick and I am very sensitive.
Based on previous reviews, I thought I’d be able to eat here. I asked the waitress and she was unsure, so she went and asked the manager. She came back and said they are not gluten free and I cannot eat anything. I explained how they could cook eggs, meat, etc. on a safe area of the grill, and they basically said they don’t want to accommodate. So I sat and watched my friends eat and then went to eat elsewhere by myself.

One of our regular breakfast spots. As mentioned by another poster the pancakes and other gluten items are on a separate griddle from the eggs and potatoes. I do well with an omelet or skillet, and sub in fruit or cottage cheese for the bread item.
The skillets can be made gluten free. My husband is gluten sensitive and has never had a problem.
Jimmy's typically has a three flat-top setup: one for eggs, one for potatoes, and one for pancakes/French toast. Check at your local spot, but we've been to several, and they all do this. There are lots of omelets and breakfast combos (eggs, meat, potatoes, bread). Just tell them you are gluten free, and they'll normally let you pick a fruit bowl. My son is highly sensitive to gluten, and we've never had a problem.

They DO NOT offer anything GF. When asked if they could prepare eggs or bacon safely their answer was “No”. They did find a way to get me a bowl of fruit and cottage cheese. Luckily the waitress caught the cook that was making waffles before he contaminated my fruit bowl with his gloves.
I tried going here, but the waitress did not know what was GF. I tried asking questions, but her answers did not make me feel confident in eating there. Perhaps she was just not educated on what GF is/means. Hopefully other people have better luck!
They didn’t seem to know much about gluten free. I tired to pick foods that wouldn’t contain gluten but learned the hard way I wasn’t successful.
I have Celiac and I’ve never gotten sick from eating here. The staff is always fantastic about being careful with my allergy needs. I usually get a Farmer’s Skillet with fresh fruit.
Despite an old review, nothing here is safe from cross contamination per the kitchen.
