We have been here in the past with no issue; however this time we had Sarah as our server and she had a total disregard to our gluten intolerant individuals in our party. We ordered gluten free food as listed on the menu; however she did not recognize our orders as gluten free and brought out gluten items. Unfortunately, we were not aware until it was too late.

Had scrambled eggs, potatoes, and pancake. Pancake was the best I've ever had but really good. Everything else was really tasty. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.

Gluten free items are labeled on the menu. Server was knowledgeable regarding cross-contamination as well. Fun, casual spot. The huevos nativos and grits were tasty!

Review
Get there early, as this is a local favorite, so there is usually at least a 45 minute wait. But every minute is worth it because they have some of the best gluten free pancakes I have ever eaten! Get the pancake-which and thank me later. Also their lattes are delish!

My breakfast was great, but the best part (to me) was the server telling me all of my choices. How they could make many meals gluten free!

This is not a gluten free place, but the staff has celiac relatives and was super helpful knew what to order. I had an egg sandwich which was great. I’m not a pancake lover but they have three kinds of GF pancakes and after talk g to the staff I would feel comfortable ordering them. We will be ordering breakfast again from this place while we are here.

We had the pancake-witch with GF pancakes w/ chocolate chips and the hungry native with GF blueberry pancakes and it was fabulous! Their homemade hot sauce was amazing- we took a bottle home! The service was great, our server was very knowledgeable about gluten and told us they would cook ours separately! Great experience!

Excellent breakfast and plenty of GF options! One of the owners has celiac so they have a ton of precautions in place. The potatoes are the only things fried so they are safe, 4 GF pancake options, and everything can be modified. I got a gf pancake with eggs and it was great. The only thing is that there’s no separate GF toaster but they will pan fry the bread instead.

The owners wife is celiac so there’s a whole GF protocol for eating here. We had pancakes, bacon and cheesy grits and we will be back for more.

Fully confident. Owner delivered food explaining protocols, his wife is celiac so he’s very specific with how careful they are in the kitchen.

Great service! Gluten free pancakes with blueberry sauce were fantastic, and the GF toast was good too! It’s a popular place so be prepared to wait a little to be seated, but it’s totally worth the wait!

My wife and I eat here about once each week. I am a Celiac and have never had an issue. Their GF pancakes are very good and I also really like their steak tacos.

Not sure of their protocols, but I had no reaction to anything I ate.
Best gluten free pancake I’ve ever had. They aren’t grainy or overly dense. Cooked well and pretty fluffy! I had eggs and sausage with gf toast too. All really good.

Best gf pancakes! I had potatoes and bacon too. They also offer lots of lunch options with gf bread. It was a great meal and for two of us with drinks, bill was $24... would come back.... we had to wait for a seat (Sunday brunch) but worth it... didn’t get sick.

The staff was knowledgeable about how to make dishes gluten free (corn tortillas for tacos, soups, salads). Excellent fish tacos! We have celiac disease and did not have any issues after eating here.
