They have a couple of gluten free options- pancakes/waffles only cooked on dedicated surface. Eggs, potatoes etc are not cooked on dedicates surface. For dairy free there are no alternate options. No GF toast. Waffle was pretty good.

There has been an ownership change here and nothing seems the same. Like a previous reviewer pointed out, the gluten free pancakes have changed for the worse. They no longer offer GF 49er Flapjacks and the regular GF pancakes were awful. The manager said the 49ers (thin and chewy) are “too hard to make”. After 16 years of dining here with my friends and my family, we will sadly look for a better option. It’s really a shame to think that the new owners don’t know how to simply maintain the regular and faithful clientele they used to have.

I have been coming to Florida in January and February for many years. Always enjoyed three or four meals here. The gf pancakes were the best. Evidently they changed batter. They were fat, doughy an undercooked, probably because the batter was so heavy. They were so dark they looked like whole wheat. I am sorry to say I won’t be going back and will miss the old pancakes

Horrible. I was so excited to try this place after I read the 5 star ratings, but the service was horrible, it took 45 min to get our food, when the food finally came, it was wrong, they tried to tell us that sugar water was maple syrup, etc. My boyfriend & dad had the gf pancakes and they were nowhere near deserving of 5 stars. I could make better pancakes out of a box mix. I ended up sending my food back and not even eating because everyone else was done with their meal before mine was corrected. Spoke with the manager, who was pretty clueless, which would explain why the service there is awful. (The table behind us had to ask to speak to the manager, as well) They did take my meal off of the bill because my boyfriend told them to. I would never recommend this place to anyone, even if they weren't gluten free. Zero stars.

This place made me feel so spoiled! The head chef was greeting when we arrived, and I asked for a GF menu. He showed me the GF options on the menu, but advised if there was something on the menu not included under the GF section to ask and he'd likely be able to make it GF. The pigs in the blanket was awesome, and the real maple syrup worth the extra couple dollars. Definitely try this place!

We love this place!! Service is fast & friendly. We eat here often & have never had one issue. Highly recommend to gluten intolerant individuals. Try the gluten free pigs in a blanket & pay the extra for true maple syrup. Yummy!!!!

Good gf pancakes. I didn't ask if they are celiac friendly. Have a small GF menu. Real maple syrup extra but worth it.

I’ve never had gluten free pancakes so fluffy! These may have been the best pancakes I’ve ever had.

BEWARE!! Waitress promised my pancakes were gluten free. I asked several times as they seemed too fluffy. She said they were made in a different part of the kitchen and came out of a different window. However, two hours after eating, I was severely ill. The pancakes were definitely not gluten-free.

There is a reason the parking lot is empty. Very old, dirty, had a ripped menu and a cracked glass for OJ. Servers were nice but... Glad they had GF waffle, but we won’t be back.

I was a nice place with great customer service and had a nice spread of gluten free options. I had the chocolate chip gf pancakes and it was a lot to food (6 pancakes). The pricing was extra (1.50) but worth it

My GF pancakes were good but nothing special. I wanted eggs but the server explained that only the pancakes, waffles, and crepes could be made gf. The server asked honest questions about what celiac is, which I appreciate more than someone pretending to know! The shared nature of the restaurant makes me worried about cc.
