Ruby Slipper Cafe

Had a gluten free menu with a lot of options, including GF french toast. This was a breakfast/lunch restaurant and the quality of the food was great and portions were more than adequate. I had a smoked salmon omelet with goat cheese/herbs and capers - it came with gf and potatoes. There was a ton of smoked salmon and the flavors were wonderful. I don't know the safety - I'm gluten intolerant and not celiac, but I presume with a gf menu, they are using some precautions...

Unfortunately they have a newer menu than was on line. They no longer serve the Corned beef or the Costa Rican. However the server suggested I order the Eggs Blackstone. It was quite delicious. I had no adverse reactions. When they served it they made sure I knew that it was, on fact, gluten free. They are a very busy place, so I suggest you get on the waiting list before your arrival. Great service and good food.

My son had GF French Toast and I had the Cochon Eggs with GF toast. We both had grits on the side. Very tasty and no reactions. We both have celiac. Would eat there again

My waiter was great. Able to help me identify what was gluten free on the menu. There is nothing marked as gluten free. Omelettes are usually a safe bet at places like this. Just let them know of a gluten allergy and they can mark it in their system which will take out things with gluten in it.

Decent breakfast/brunch place. Separate GF menu with more than typical options, waiter checked in with manager. Meal came out with a little flag toothpick. I ordered French toast, which was good.

The menu is not labeled and they have GF bread and can make French toast, eggs Benedict. They were very mindful of my GF need and prepared everything special to minimize cross contamination. They did not toast my bread or cook my food on the spared grill. I got an omelette, chicken sausage, fruit, and toast. It was good.

I experienced cross contamination with this restaurant even after being reassured they take it very seriously. They used regular bread on my sandwich even though I specifically said gluten free because having celiac. I don’t think the waitress understood. Definitely don’t recommend.
