My husband and I eat here all the time and have done takeout half a dozen times since quarantine started. The food is always delicious! The Sante Fe hash, breakfast tacos, and Texas sandwich are some of our favorite GF options. Staff has always been knowledgeable about GF and very happy to accommodate.

Absolutely delicious! I had pancakes with eggs and bacon all GF guaranteed no cross contamination. The waffles are in a fryer that’s not dedicated GF so if you’re allergic or celiac you can’t get the waffles, but the waitress was very knowledgeable and clear about that!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this place! They have gf pancakes (no x contamination), gf breakfast burritos, gf toast, gf omelettes. The food is extremely tasty. I had the pancake combo with eggs and bacon. They use organic, non gmo foods-the tea was even organic. The waitress knew all about celiac and which foods could be subject to cross contamination. She showed me how to be sure the pancakes were gf- they are lighter in color and you can tell looking at my husband’s gluteny pancakes. She clearly checked them. They have gf waffles, but they are made in the same waffle maker as the other waffles, so I wouldn’t risk it. The guy who brought the food out said they were gf pancakes as he put the food down. I had no reaction to the food. I will definitely be back here when we come to the area again. This is one of my favorite breakfast places!

We ate breakfast here one day while vacationing in Estes Park. There are several gluten free options, and our server was very knowledgeable. When I asked about how they handled the gluten free items she right away asked if I had celiac. She told me there was a separate toaster for the gluten free bread, and while I was hesitant to order the toast with my omelette, I decided to give it a try. I am happy to say that I did not experience any cross contamination problems. I would not hesitate eating here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable about GF. They have many options & I’ve eaten here dozens of times the past couple years. I’ve been glutened about 1/3 of those times. So eat here at your own risk & bring a gluten sensor if you’re truly celiac.

They clearly try very hard to accommodate. But during busy season & when new employees are being trained, all bets are off & there is no safety guarantee.

Celiac friendly?

No

GO HERE FOR SURE! Omg! Cant be happier with this place! My waitress said everything in the menu can be made gf except the gravy and the waffles are cross contaminated. She knew about celiac and asked me if I was. The chilis were gf and the hollendays sause too! They had gf pancakes and I got French toast! Havent had that in years! I'm very sensitive to gluten as we all are and I feel 100% fine! Totally a go to with they had this in the town I lived.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

No separate GF menu but lots of GF items on their regular menu. Got pancakes, eggs and sausage. No separate kitchen. They did bring out an incorrect order at first (for me and my husband who is not GF). Seemed like there was confusion in the kitchen in general and because both of our orders were wrong, I didn’t accidentally get glutened. Would just clarify when they bring order that it’s GF
