*Warning* The first time I went here I had the gluten free burger and it tasted awesome. Although the second time I went they found out their burger patties are not gluten free. Avoid this place.

SD is a pretty good option for gluten free. Not the 5 stars of a Not Your Average Joe's or Burtons, but decent. There is no dedicated gluten free menu, but several items are marked, and unlike most places, it is not just surf and turf. They do have 2 deserts that are marked gluten free, a shake and a chewy chocolate brownie. The turkey platter gravy is gluten free. It is almost clear and not cloudy like most gravies that have flour in them to thicken them up. If I where an extreme celiac, I might pass though. Young staff, not sure about their cross contamination education.

Gave gluten free egg-based bread to my vegan partner and gave me his vegan gluten-filled bread. And my meal was over the bread as we went for brunch. One of many mistakes made. Cannot stress enough that you should avoid this place.

I ordered a sandwich as a gluten free option here and sadly got a very bad reaction after. They were lovely but weren't forthcoming about whether gluten was used and were unsure when mentioning it's substitutes.

The manager (in Spanish) communicated back to the kitchen that they needed to switch the plates around and so in horror we watched as the manager of the restaurant disregarded any allergy protocols that should be taken in any restaurant and in about 10 seconds they slid the normal toast off my wife’s plate and slid the correct order back on to the same plate where there had been gluten sitting next to her eggs. I immediately called out your manager and informed her that I had seen what they had just done and that what they had done was incredibly irresponsible and dangerous. They didn’t seem to understand that a gluten allergy is like any other allergy, it has to be taken seriously. I’m just glad that we were sitting right in front on the kitchen last night and that I speak a little Spanish otherwise we would have never known that your kitchen was abandoning allergy protocols. Follow up I emailed their corporate and they basically told me they make no guarantees on any allergy’s, but they take precautions. I don’t think that was even a precaution I think they were just being lazy.

Food was fine, I know the fries aren't gluten free but I didn't eat them they were in the same container I didn't feel any pain until the next day, I knew the pain all too well. I might eat here again as I never had problems in the past I just need to make sure not to get fries. I bought the BLT on gluten free bread, You know when they give you gluten free bread it has seeds in it and its a lot thinner than the regular bread so that's never been a concern of mines. This place does not have dedicated gluten free area. most places offering gluten free options rarely very rarely have a deliciated area. Celiac Disease varies, my sister is also a Celiac but she eats Popeyes chicken without a problem but when she eats regular bread she gets a stomach ache. Just because I reacted to the fries doesn't mean you will. The service was fine the people working their were nice and friendly. We got to go.

I ordered a vegan dish (rice and veggies) thinking it might be a safer choice, given that there are few gluten free items available. I let the wait staff know about my need to avoid gluten and talked a bit about cross contamination, but several hours later I realize gluten was definitely in my food. I do not recommend this restaurant if you have celiac or are sensitive to gluten. Unfortunately I don’t think the staff is trained at all for food allergies, other than to possibly alert the chef.

We love Silver Diner! Quick, inexpensive, and family friendly! Many options for those with allergies or health conscious. My kiddos love the GF pancakes or the Triple Decker Club on GF bread. It's not often the get GF bread (not just a bun) at a restaurant.

My 7 year old who is gluten intolerant was excited to have "brinner" (breakfast for dinner) here! Service was great! They have Udi's buns so next time my son is getting a hamburger so he can get a milk shake!

Maybe it was a bad day for them, but the food wasn't very good and the service left a lot to be desired as well. Hopefully it's improved since the last time I was there.

update 8/2016: coffee was terrible, good service, the gf pancakes and I did not get along. I've been sick all morning, sadly

It is wonderful to have a place that serves breakfast food and is so knowledgable of gluten. I eat here regularly and have never had a problem. I even tried the pasta and Turkey meatballs for dinner one night, and they were also outstanding

I had a burger with a GF bun. The bun tasted good but the texture was chewy. Also had the mashed potatoes. Good- tasted home made. Seemed expensive but probably consistent with airport pricing

I would definitely not eat here if you are sensitive. I ordered a steak (which came with mashed potatoes and greens) where it was gluten-free if you asked for no fried onions. I was also told that there was little risk for cross contamination, but that they would mark my allergy. Unfortunately, my meal came out with bits of fried onion on the greens. I only noticed after I had started eating it. I assume they accidentally put it on the plate then removed them. I informed the waitress, who was very apologetic, and simply asked for the meal to be removed from the check. They were nice about it, but I regret eating there.
