They have a GF menu. We came for lunch. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. They cook in vegetable or canola oil which I can’t have. They were gracious enough to use the olive oil I carry with me.
Went to the Metro diner for breakfast. They can only offer gf toast. Not cooked separately. The waitress didn’t even know where a gf menu was. Stay away if your celiac

You need to ask for a gluten free menu so make sure you ask when you get there!

Needed a place near the interstate to meet friends for breakfast, and this fit the bill. Glad they had a separate GF menu with GF bread. Breakfast was average for taste and wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but none of us got sick and it was conveniently located.
There is a decent menu with gf options HOWEVER the gf bread they offer is toasted in the same toaster as normal bread. 😐She said everything else I ordered (eggs, bacon, hash browns) has its own pan and only ever has those items in it. Let’s hope!!

It’s not hard to get sick here for us at least. Risk of CC seems very high. GF bread for an upcharge. They have a two page GF menu, though cross contamination could obviously be an issue as they have fryers, fried chicken, bread, biscuits, pancakes in the kitchen, and no dedicated GF cooking space. But our waitress told us if you say gluten “allergy” they have a protocol to change gloves, use a heat lamp instead of a toaster to toast bread, will clean the cook area for you, etc. The ketchup isn’t marked GF. Can no longer eat here after getting sick here.
It’s not hard to get gluten in your food here, such a small place and tight cooking quarters. Risk of CC is very high with pancakes cooked on shared surfaces. They have a GF menu, GF bread for an upcharge. If you say gluten “allergy”, they have a protocol for cleaning cooking space, changing gloves and toasting bread under a heat lamp instead of in a toaster, etc. Still have gotten sick here a few times and can’t eat here.
JR the manager was a sweetheart and so knowledgeable of the allergy! Anything made in the fyer is not safe. They use Utiz gluten free bread! The BLT was perfect and the coleslaw was just how I like it not too sweet. Ranch is house made and said to be safe. Salads can be made without croutons. Once you say allergy they are to change or put on gloves and all bread is toasted separately not in a toaster.
I have been to metro many times with no reactions. They have a gluten fee menu and are good about telling you what to sub.
Gluten free menu. Plenty of choices.
