Palace Diner

I was scheduled to eat with a group here on a trip. The menu did indicate that they had gluten free buns and pasta as well as gluten free “specials”. I wouldn’t call this place gluten sensitive friendly because it was clearly explained by the very informed waitress we had that there were no GF dedicated fryers or cooking areas. She suggested the safest option was a salad. I already had one with me so I declined to eat anything on the menu. Another GF patron in my group had to send back her first order because there was clearly flour in the gravy on her plate (but she had a different waitress). Kudos to the informed waitress but eat here at your own risk.

When I went there weren’t many options at all besides butter pasta or pasta with tomato sauce. I ended up feeling unwell afterwards, and the food wasn’t all too great either.

There is no gluten free menu. They have gf pasta and that is about it. The owner/manager was not knowledgeable about what contained gluten and basically does not have cross contamination protocols in place.

Celiac friendly?

Pleasantly surprised by the menu and extensive GF offerings!! Great atmosphere, service, and food.
