Came here for brunch but the server explained that they don’t take any precautions to prevent cross contamination (utensils, prep space, griddle and fryers). Wanted to try the GF pancakes but they are prepared on the same space as regular pancakes so they are not gluten free.

I wasn't in the mood to interrogate the server about all the kitchen's procedures to avoid cross-contact, so I just went with something listed GF that wouldn't need any substitutions: salmon on rice with veggies. It was pretty good, and I didn't have any reaction after.

Lots of options that are gf AND dairy free. some that are gf and VEGAN, which is what I am. That is VERY hard to find. Everything is clearly labeled on the menu, too, so you don't have to rely on asking an inexperienced waiter a million questions. And the food is consistently good. If you have multiple sensitivities, this is the best place around, hands down!!

Good food, decent options, but staff didn't seem to get the cross contamination piece of things. brought me my GF meal with a biscuit on the plate ..had them remake it, but my confidence is low that I didn't get gluten in my meal.

Excellent roasted vegetable salad for dinner and they have GF bread for breakfast toast. Offer great patio dining at night and fun diner atmosphere inside. Items on menu clearly GF noted but no dedicated fryer.

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.

Waited 20 minutes and no one came by so we left. No GF menu, but GF marked. They were clear to say that their kitchen is not a dedicated gluten free environment, which I appreciate but it did not inspire confidence for someone with celiac.

I had a layover here last week and was assured I could have a burger on a gf bun and fries were made in a dedicated fryer. The bun looked glutinous and I verified it was gf when it came out. They continued to assure me it was safe. I only ate about 1/4th of the bun l, because I started a feel a little nauseous while eating. And I was severely sick before my flight landed. Needless to say, definitely NOT safe for celiacs.
