Kerbey Lane Cafe

Celiac friendly?

No

Not at all GF even though they have GF menu and GF pancakes. They make everything on the same cooktop and can't even make some eggs in a separate pan. Very sad.

What is "gluten free-ish"???? Never seen this at a restaurant and it does NOT instill confidence!!!!

They have everything. Besides the traditional breakfast stuff for all who don't (have to) take care of ingredients they have glutenfree stuff (for example very good pancakes), vegan stuff, all you can think of and very knowledgeable staff. PERFECT!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful accommodating restaurant with a huge allergy-friendly menu and a very good understanding of food intolerances. And the food was so, so good! We visited three times while vacationing in the Round Rock area.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contamination?

On Safety

The waitstaff rolled their eyes at me (literally) on several occasions when I asked about gluten free cross-contamination prevention. They don't exercise it so it's not Celiac safe to eat at any Kerbey Lane.

On Quality & Quantity

Kerbey Lane is an Austin icon. That being said, it's not Celiac safe, and they've transformed from a cheap all night eatery to a borderline soulless boogie strip mall establishment where everything is overpriced and underwhelming. The attitude of the wait staff when asked about cross-contamination, etc. is flippant.

Great pancakes, awesome service, but be careful and ask questions — they have fries marked gluten free but they are made in the same fryer as everything else!

Celiac friendly?

No

Yesterday I discovered Kirby Lane does not have a dedicated fryer for anything. Which is something they don’t advertise. So if you’re vegan or gluten free, ask a LOT of questions. They advertise fried foods as gluten free and this is a lie. A lie that made me sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Nice place and good gluten free options. The enchilada was delicious! Although they have put the regular pancake together with the gluten free for the first time , but they made the gluten free again for me as I requested.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They were very friendly! And have very good gluten free pancakes!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food. Safe experience.

Great experience here today, will be one of our go-to breakfast places now. I wasn’t expecting to be able to get gluten free french toast! Such a treat.

Celiac friendly?

No

Beware! The waitress told me there is an error on their menu - something marked GF is not truly GF.

I love Kerby Ln gluten free enchiladas, queso and chips. I’ve eaten this dish many times and never got sick. Love the service and atmosphere too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It's hard not to love Kerbey Lane. All of the wait staff I've encountered have been well versed in what they have available for gluten free items and it's quite a lot. They even have GF French toast!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf pancakes and other items labeled gf. Excellent food but difficult parking.

Celiac friendly?

No

I used to love this place and the food is amazing if you can eat handle cross contamination but it’s not safe for my fellow celiac buddies

Celiac friendly?

No

Great food and options but quite often get cross contamination so not celiac safe (pancakes for sure are not!)

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered gluten free pancakes and they brought regular pancakes. Then they took a long time to bring the GF pancakes. My husband was done with his breakfast by the time I got mine. Pancakes weren’t bad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food. Items clearly marked gf. Waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac. Definitely go again.

My first time here was great. Sat at the bar and had the Greek chicken. They subbed out pita bread for cucumbers for my hummus. Delicious! My second time was breakfast - they didnt sub out the English muffin for toast even though my ticket did say gluten free sub on it-so totally kitchen's fault. Luckily I caught it and sent it back. Makes me a little nervous to eat there again

Fluffy GF pancakes, and didn't get sick. Buying a box of GF pancake mix to go is just under $4 and tastes great.

Celiac friendly?

No

This location once claimed to have dedicated cooking and prep surfaces for GF items. This is absolutely no longer the case. The servers seemed very unfamiliar with which items were or were not GF, and served both my partner and me gluten pancakes after we informed them of an allergy. Not safe at all.

Celiac friendly?

No

Nice staff, but I get sick there now when I never did before. I think they just stopped taking gluten seriously, which is unfortunate. Will miss it :(

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of selections any time of day. Wait staff and kitchen don’t always communicate well so double check things when they arrive. My omelet arrived with the sour cream sauce (not GF), sent back for a redo but waiter placed side dish container back on the plate that still had the sour cream sauce all over the side.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Kerbey has gluten feee pancakes and other offerings. If you ask them to avoid cross contamination they will explain the precautions they take. They even informed me that my omelet had a sauce with gluten and offered to sub out a gluten free sauce.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great options. Staff is very helpful.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ate at Kerby Lane this am, had an Omelette... should be pretty hard to mess up. Was sick before I left.

Celiac friendly?

No

Wife was glutened here once. Nice GF menu, but cross contamination issues are rampant in our experience.

kerbey lane has updated their menu to not the gf choices. i haven't seen that gluten free-ish menu in a while. they offer a different gf pancake every week. they have a gf bread for sandwiches, toast and french toast. vegetarian options too. i usually get the pancakes - they will remind you of ihop or cracker barrell- this location has that lamar vibe. wait an average of 30 minutes when i'm here on the weekends. well worth it.

Gluten free menu is very large and the food is all fantastic. They have breakfast all day and have gluten-free pancakes. I had the most delicious breakfast tacos.

Celiac friendly?

No

Don't eat here if you have Celiac Disease! The sickest I've ever been! One star because you're forced to at least pick one.

Celiac friendly?

No

terrible food. like Denny's but worse

Celiac friendly?

No

Terrible food and loud atmosphere. Just like a Denny's but worse

So nice to find a large selection of gluten free breakfast items........ Toast, French toast, and pancakes.

Celiac friendly?

No

Don't bother eating here if you have celiac. The menu is only "gluten friendly-ish". And honestly the food is only okay and not worth the tummy ache I have after eating there.

Celiac friendly?

No

Red Quinoa Salad was excellent! Subsequent visit - ate the gf pancakes. Got sick. Won't make that mistake again.

I was so excited for GF pancakes, but they said they're cooked on the same grill space as regular pancakes. Waiter advised me against. Food was good otherwise- had the migas.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is not a huge selection. Do be sure to get absolute confirmation that what arrives at your table is GF. I ordered a GF sandwich and questioned the waitress if indeed the bread was GF. She said that she was sure that it was, but another waiter overheard and took a look and let me know that what was on my plate was not GF bread. I was very glad I asked for confirmation

Not celiac friendly

Excellent selection of gf meals. No reaction even they disclaim the possibility of cross contamination. Ate there 3 different times while in town.

Celiac friendly?

No

A great selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner items. Gluten-freeish menu.

Food here is amazing, but nothing on their menu is actually safe. They have a small kitchen and say they'll "do their best", but can guarantee it won't be contaminated. Points for their honesty, but I am sadly not able to eat here anymore.

Best chicken tortilla soup (minus taco strips as they're cooked in a shared fryer) I can recall ever eating. GF bread for my sandwich was actually tasty.

The omelet I ordered was alright. I could have made better at home honestly. I have to agree with the other reviews that said they don't pay attention to cross contamination. I had a small portion of the gluten free pancakes and had a bad reaction. I would not return here.

Have a lot of GF options BUT IS NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY!

Yummy GF pancakes!

I heart pancakes and this place has them in droves! Great flavor options, good texture, and lots of GF options. Always had excellent service as well. A regular favorite!

The GF apple cinnamon pancakes were awesome. We also tried them with the cinnamon swirl & they were Deelish!

Celiac friendly?

No

Very tasty but very careless about keeping it gluten free. I experienced some pretty significant symptoms 👎

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a gluten free-ish menu that at the bottom says celiacs should not order from it. Why even bother saying you have a gluten free menu? Pics included.

Celiac friendly?

No

Kind of tired seeing restarunts on here that truley shouldn't be on here. They have a gluten free-ish menu that on the bottom states celiacs should not order from it. Another place to cross of the list. Pics included.

Really enjoyed it! excellent pancakes but the portions ate massive!

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free pancakes are good. And huge. One is generally enough unless you're a marathoner. Also GF bread for sandwiches. No dedicated GF kitchen space.
