Review
The owner herself came by our table and took the time to explain their GF options and also that they have a separate grill area, fryer, etc. Turns out she has celiac herself and fully understands the needs we have! She was so friendly and awesome.
Some GF items she mentioned:
- French Toast
- Chicken Fried Steak
- Sausage
- Fries (dedicated fryer)
- Bacon
- Some muffins
- And there were several others that I’m not remembering at the moment.
These items are not currently marked on the menu as GF, I believe they are working on updating. But if you ask, this kind owner will walk you right through it. So refreshing!!

Went to Mama Katie’s because I saw a article on the Charlotte Observer about making changes to the restaurant to make it celiac safe. Katie (the owner) and her daughter both have celiac disease. They are in the process of making a celiac safe environment (getting a dedicated GF fryer and toaster). Katie came out and talked with me personally when I said I had celiac. She does have GF bread and buns. I had a celiac safe French toast and it was literally the best thing I have ever had since being diagnosed. My husband even tried it and said it tastes just like regular French toast. Will definitely be coming back!
